Flight Lasted 81
Hours; Record Set

RIO JANEIRO, July 6-LP-Two
Italian airmen today held the record
for the longest nonstop flight
4,417 miles.
Making the first continuous flight
from the mainland Of Europe to the
mainland Of South, America, Captain
Arturo Ferrarin and Major Carlo r.
Delprete brought their huge Savoia
plane TO rest on the beach at Point
Genipabu, 10 miles north of Natal,
at 1850 p. m. $3.50 p. m. eastern
standard time) last night. They had
been in the air within one minute Of
90 hours, having hoped off from
Monticello Field. Rome, az 1851 p.
m, Rome time (1:51 p. m, eastern
standard time) Tuesday.
Storms Threatened
They broke the distance flight
record Of 5000 miles set by Clarence
Chamberlin and Charles A. Levine a
little more than a year ago from
Roosevelt, N. ", to Eisleben, Ger
many.
In thofr record-breaking flight
they followed a route past Gibraltar
and over the Cape Verde Islands and
southwest over the Atlantic before
landing on the beach. This course IS
1912 miles, but ar airline IS used
in determining the record.
Stormy weather with heavy clouds
put the filters in peril in the last
hours Of their long flight. They had
difficult in getting their bearings
after reaching the coast Of Brazil
Sighted over Port Natal at 4:O5 p.
m, they were believed to be headed
for Rio Janeiro. Preparations were
Immediately begun there TO welcome
the airmen and special trains begun
to carry enthusiasts TO the Alfonso
aviation field TO greet the filters.
Huge Crowd Disappointed
Apparently the airmen became
confused for three hours and As min
utes after being sighted at Port Ma
tai they landed on the beach ten
miles to the north.
Failure Of the two intrepid Ital-
ians to wind up their record break
ing flight at Rio Janeiro, as they
had hoped, brought disappointment
to a huge crowd who waited for
them in the capital. All day crowds
hung about newspaper bulletin
boards eager for any new Of their
progress.
The record breaking flight was
made in a Savoia monoplane Of
metal and wood construction with \
$50 horsepower Fiat motor. It's test
ed maximum speed was in the neigh.
borhood Of $50 miles an hour with
a full load, and its average cruising
speed is between 10 and 125 miles
an hour.
The airmen set the duration flight
record at So hours, 81 minutes, 20
1-5 seconds on June 2 in the same
plane.

per cent Of the cotton marketed in
New Mexico has been termed soft"
and that the growers have been PEN
allied in price on the general as
sumption that a soft cotton Is an in
ferior cotton and on the assumption
that il produces a weak yarn Of
poor spinning quality.
The American crop OF Acala has
its parentage in a single plant dis
covered in southern Mexico in 1905.
DR.. o. F. Cook, heading a party in
search Of Mexican cotton resistant
to boil weevils, CHANGED upon a par
ticularly sturdy plant Dy the road
side in Ocosingo, Mexico, a region
where no other cotton grew. He
learned it was from cotton brought
from a district to the southeast for
hand weaving and spinning in the
village.
DR.. Cooks party went on, but he
remembered the plant and the next
winter other cotton ipecialists left
Washington for the district In
which natives Of Ocosingo told DR..
Cook the peculiar cotton was found.
There, in the market, they discov-
cred another cotton they hoped
would prove superior, and in going
in search Of this cotton they found
az Acala, Mexico. a patch similar to
the cotton DR.. Cook had discovered
az Ocosingo. Seed procured from a
local gin Is the parent stock Of the
present variety.
Since then. for twenty years. the
department OF agriculture has been
prOpagating and selecting superior
strains and introducing Acala cot
ton TO growers. Where il is pro-
duced under favorable c:rcum-
stances. the department declares Il
is uncommonly hardy, withstands
extrese OF temperature and mois-
ture. is highly resistant 10 the boil
weevil. and yields a superior fibre
Of great uniformity, ledium length
staple, excellent spinning quality
and strength and takes dyes better
than most cottons.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-07-06

WASHINGTON, RJ-Four hun
bred thousand acres of Acal cotton
in California, Arizona, New Mexico
and western Texas is expected to
be worth its full value to producers
this year for the first time in his
tory as a result Of pinning tests
which disprove the theory that il
is soft cotton" and makes a conse-
quently weak yarn.
In reporting the test, H. H. Willis,
federal cotton technologist, declares
that sample lots of Acala used in
the experiment justify their CLASH
fication as normal rather than soft.
Spinning quality" he lays, "as
demonstrated by the amount Of
waste and by strength and Uniform
ity Of yarns spun from these lots,
upholds the classification Of these
cottons as normal. The spinning
test results indicate that these cot
tons are unduly penalized when
marketed as soft"
Willis points out that about 30

span VISIT D
Rush Friday Morning
Indicates Record
To Fall

A rush of traffic acros the new
Gateway bridge here Friday morning
gave indications of surprising the
mark Of 4,124 persons traversing the
span Thursday, the first day Of toll
traffic. The Tuesday figure was
taken from the records Of r. d.
Howard, manager OF the new bridge,
for the period from 7 a. m. TO IL mid
night.
The turnstiles for pedestrians
showed a total Of 1,124; STA crossing
into Mexico and $50 into the United
States. Automobiles numbering 1000
with an estimated average load of
three persons TO a car. crossed. The
amount going over and coming back
was about evenly distributed accord
ing to the figures.
An even greater load was carried
by the bridge on the Fourth Of July.
No check was made on the heavy
traffic Of that day.
The old ferry that has piled back
and forth across the Rio Grande fer
half a century and that is sanctioned
by a special treaty between the Unit
ed States and Mexico was practically
at a standstill Thursday. The num-
Der crossing on the boat estimated az
20 for the day. Up until 10 o'clock
Friday morning, only five persons
had crossed on the ferry, reports
said.
The toll house for automobiles on
the American approach was operated
for the first time Friday morning.
This will obviate the necessity for
hating on the inclined ramp for toll
payment.
The immigration, customs and
health departments Of the United
States government have temporary
offices working on the American
ramp. Aliens, however, are escorted
to the old ferry immigration offices
for inspection pending construction
Of permanent headquarter offices on
the new bridge.

at Harlingen.
an almost every case when a
driver hears the ambulance siren
behind him, instead Of pulling off the
road a little, he will turn around to
look; as he does so he inevitably
pulls toward the center Of the road,
and we are either forced off the road,
or must stop.
Il am told by other funeral direc-
tors that il is the same with them"
Mr.. Thompson said. "The time nee
essary to make an emergency call is
just about doubled by lack of cooper
alton from drivers on the Highway.
IF the driver will just get two
wheels off the road when he hears the
siren, that let's US know that he does
not expect to look around, and cut
into the center Of the road, and we
know what TO do. When he doesn't
move, we never know what minute
he is going to look around, and every
