FLEW AROUND
WORLD. To Be
OBSTINATE

NEW YORK, Nov. Baron
Friedrich-Karl Friherr Koneig Won
und zu Warthausen presiSted In
flying from one city to. another
in his little Klemm. Daimler plane
until he had flown almost around
the world. mostly because he
was so often urged to end the
flight and return home, he said
yesterday. He arrived after q
flight from Albany.
This was especially true at Cal
cutie, India. he said. He had left
Berlin to make q nonstop flight
to Moscow In the hope Of win
ming the Won Hindenburg prize
for the outstanding flight Of the
year in q sports plane, and then
went on to Persia and to India
partly to strengthen his claim
on the trophy and partly because
he wanted to travel.
Learns OF Prize
At Calcutta, the German con-
sui met him with a telegram,
saying that the prize had been
awarded to him Just after he had
reached Calcutta, and urging
that he give up his flight and
return to Berlin.
IT felt just like you always, ,Gdo
when you are told to give up
something" the baron said. "JuSt
like in America, where there is
prohibition, there Is drinking
everywhere. So 1 went on"
The least civilized people, and
among the most pleasant, he Wis
tied during his journey, were in
the Persia desert. He landed at
an oasis hoping to get some gaso-
line and passed several days with
o tribe that was encamped there.
The leader obligingly sent q camel
messenger 100 miles to the near.
est town to get him five gallons
Of gasoline.
Upon leaving the tribe, Baron
von Warthausen offered to pay
for his board and lodging, but
was courteouSly refused. Instead
the chief Of the tribe accepted as
a gift cigarette lighter and some
gasoline from the plane for fuel.
The other members of the tribe
then. clamored for gasoline too,
as they valued it as medicine. AS
the flier could not spare more
gasoline, he gave them the oil
drained from his crank case, and
this pleased them as well as the
genuine.

HOSPITAL F0R
 FREE TREATMENT
 CANCER ADVOCATED
PROGRESS DEPENDS UPON ES- TABLISHMENT IN CITIES OF
 CANCER HOSPITALS

WASHINGTON, Oct, 30, (P)-The establishment in Washington of government cancer hospital at which patients would be treated free as wards of the government, has been proposed to the senate committee on commerce by H. E. Robertson, head of the section of pathologic anatomy of the Mayo clinic, Rochester, Minn., in a letter received by Senator Jones, republi- can of Washington, chairman.
 The letter from pr. Robertson is one of the number received from physicians and others interested in the control of cancer in answer to queries by Senator Jones as to their reaction to a report made by suD- committee of the commerce com mittee which held an investigation to obtain information which would enable the government to assist in discovering a successful and prac- tical cure for cancer.
 The sub-committee's report, which set forth it's findings as to what the government could do for the alleviation of suffering from cancer, was in pursuance of a reso- lution introduced in the 10th con- gress (s- Res. 79) by Senator Harris democrat of Georgia
 pr. Robertson suggested that the hospital he proposed might proper ! ly be under the jurisdiction of the public health service. Further pro- gress in handling cancer eases de- bends upon the establishment in each large city of cancer hospitals manned by specially qualified and trained clinical and laboratory eX- perts'' pr.

NEW YORK, Dec 20. U.P)--In a
copyrighted article from Washing
ton. Dow Jones & Company stated
today that the Interstate Commerce
commission has completed a rail-

Car Certificate
Law Disregarded

CARSON CITY, De. 20-Although
1852 certificates of title have been
issued to owners of motor vehicles
in Nevada by the motor vehicle de-
partment Of the secretary of states
office at the close of business Tues
day, the owners of the other 20,577
automobiles, motorcycles and trail
ers which were registered in Ne
vada during 1929 have failed to ap-
ply for their warranty of title.
The 1929 statute providing for the
certificates provides that after jan
uary 20, 1890 no motor vehicle shall
be operated upon any highway in
the state unless the owner has Sc
cured his certificate. A fine of from
S25 to $50 was set for the violation
of this provision, and no 1880 auto
mobile licenses will be issued to any
owners not having the required GER
tificate of title.-Tonopah Times

They Pitched Camp
The two voyagers, however were
prepared for the contingency. They
had full camping equipment along,
and they hauled to shore and pitch
ed camp, knowing not how long
they would have to wait
Lacy, however, had arranged with
other members of the company that
if he did not show up at the land
ing by Wednesday evening they
were to send the other boat down
with gasoline.
After more than a day and a
night of waiting, the big boat ap-
peared up the river, bearing the
much-needed gasoline.
At one time during the trip the
pair had to go overheard to help
boost the boat over a sandbar, Wad-
ing in water well up toward their
hips.
Lacy pulled the line across the
river for completion of the new
transcontinental phone line which
crossed the river at Tri State.

NOW CREW
TOBESENT
TO VEGAS
Work on Bell Com
pany Line Will Be
Finished; Crew of Is
Coming; Span Feat

BY carrying line across the
Colorado river by boat at Tri-
State, ninety miles south of the
dam site landing, D. L. Lacy OF
Las Vegas made possible the COM
pletion of the last connection OF
the Bell telephone company's new
Los Angeles-New York line which
crosses the southern rim of the
country.
Completion last Sunday of this
2,4l1-mile span between two 81
foot steel towers, preSages the
shifting of the crew of about sew
enty-fve men working on this job
to Las Vegas, to commence work
shortly after New Years, on the
last stretch OF the other new trans
continental Bell line which passes
through this city.
To Come To Vegas
This crew will be quartered in
and near Las Vegas for some time
starting near the city, where the
work left off several months ago,
and working out toward the Utah
line, where the line being con-
structed by a Utah subsidiary will
meet the one from Los Angeles.
1t was announced recently that
the crew working on the southern
line would be sent here when the
other line was finished.
Four consecutive lines of in
creasing size and strength had to
be used before the twenty wire
line, almost half a mile long be-
tween the two towers could be
strung from bank to bank.
Use Four Lines.
First, Lacy attached the end of
a number ten wire to the stern of
the smaller Of the two boats own
ed by the Boulder Grand Naviga-
ton company, and motored across
the river, delivering the end on
the other side.
To this wire was attached the
end of five-sixteenths inch wire,
which in turn was pulled across,
trailing through the water as it
was taken across.
Then, according to Lacy's de-
scription of the feat. a three-eights
line was pulled across the river,
and this in turn was used to pull
over a one inch cable
The one inch cable was strung
up between the two towers and
the phone line was then pulled
across on it.
Eighty Messages at Once
-Four conversations can be car
ried on over each wire of the new
transcontinental line, it was stat
ed. The twenty wires therefore
will have capacity to transmit 80
conversations at the same time.
Ten more wires will be added
in a month or two, it is believed.
This is said to be one of the
greatest wire suspensions ever built
and is recognized as a genuine and
difficult feat of engineering.
