ST LOUIS. Mo, Jul y26. OPP
Still queen of the skies. the St
Louis Robin scared confidently
above Lambert-St. Louis field here
this afternoon. and was aloft 500
hours at 3:17 pm.
Approximately $4,000 wealthier
in extra flying pay, the team flew
on and on to a steadily mounting
fortune with fame already eclipsing
anything in aviation history.
Both are feeling fine and get
ting fat" they assured ground
watchers in message The old
motor hasn't changed a bit, that
can see," Jackson added.
Five hundred hours appeared to
be their goal, and they had the
assurance of Arthur Mutt. design

that was not unattainable.

Stamina of the two men had be-
gun to cause as much comment as
the rugged reliability of their mo-
tor. They eat only two meals a
day, prepared for them by their
wives, and drink milk instead of
coffee, probably accounting for
their getting fat"
Flight of the Robin thus far has
more than doubled that of the
army plane, Question Mark, which
early this year startled aviation
circles by remaining aloft $50 hours.

DESCRIBE USE
ETHYLENE GAS
Does Not Have Effect Of
Ripening Immature
Citrus Fruits

WASHINGTON. d. c., March 70.
The process of cOlOring citrus
fruit by meanse of exposure to ethy-
lene gas has been extended to a
number of other fruits and vege-
tables with varying success, accord
ing to investigators in the bureau OF
chemistry and soils and the bureau
Of plant industry Of the United
States department Of agriculture.
Although the use Of ethylene gas
in coloring oranges is commonly de-
scribed in the orange business as the
"ethylene ripening process" the de-
department of agriculture workers
vino developed the method, after It's
discoverer. DR.. F. z. Denny, had Sc
cured the public service patent COW
ering it. have preferred not to use
the term ''ripeningn in describing
the effects produced. That term, II
is pointed out. is applied IN many
ways to describe natural processes
and may convey the idea Of increas-
ing the food supply in a fruit or
vegetable. that is. increasing the
starch or sugar content.
Their experiments lead them to
think that the changes produced by
ethylene gas are very similar 70
those which take place naturally
after the fruit or vegetable has been
harvested and is stored under prop
err conditions. There is a decided
difference, however, in the time re-
quired for the change.
If an orange is picked when i'm
mature. and before the fruit has
stored sufficient sugar, ethylene gas
will not add to the sugar or reduce
the acid. 1t does promote a color
ing Of the rind that makes other
wise desirable fruit more attractive
to the eye.
In the case Of pears the full
sweetness of the fruit may not have
developed when the time for har-
vest comes. Some of the food ma
terial is in the form of starch, which
changes to sugar in the course OF
storage. Ethylene gas causes the
change to take place more rapidly.
"A desirable effect has been observed
in treatment Of japanese perslm-
mons. But in none Of these cases,
the chemists emphasize. does ethy-
lene cause a half-grown immature
fruit to be made palatable. The ex-
perimenters have also had some sue
cess with g~reen-colored apricots
which grew on the inside branches
of trees and failed to color for lack
of sunlight.
The department has had enthusi-
astic reports on treating green to-
matoes to bring out color, but ex-
periments by scientists in the de-
partment indicate that immature
fruits will benefit but little. if any.
Their results with other fruits and
vegetables have been inconclusive,
and they are unwilling to forecast
success until they have adequate
evidence.
For citrus fruits the method is
widely used, and inquiries have
come from nearly every citrus
growing country. The method is
well established in the citrus states
of this country.
