BELIEVE NEW SOVIET
 LAND IS ARCHIPELAGO
Name Island in Honor of Serg1us Kaminoy-Leaye Two of Crew
 in Small House.

Moscow, Aug. 80 LPt-The newly discovered land found by Soviet arctic explorers in 1925 north 76:10 east is now believed to be an archipelago of some magnitude.
 The expedition. which has lived aboard the ice-breaker Sedov, is building a house on the island in which four men will remain this winter with fuel and supplies sui fcient for three years. The island, on which they planted the Soviet flag, has been named Sergius ka- minov, in honor of the president of the Soviet exploration party and the vice commissar of war.
 It is thought here the new lands may be a continuation of the Tai myr peninsula which is proved geo. graphically would mean undisputed Soviet possession, although the ac- tual value of such a possession has not thus far been determined.

CHIC HATS CERTAIN
 IN WINTER SEASON
Forecast Indicates Chapeauz Will Have ShallOWer Crowns

New York, Aug, 30 P-A wom- ans face is her fortune this winter more truly than it has been for many a year. Faces and foreheads will be much in view when their owners don the new hats Of 1930-31.
 ChapeauX are generally small, chic and trim, their crowns are shallower and they are designed as frame for the face. It is frame less severe than last year, re- Nealing hair on one side and mak- ing coiffure of prime importance. The smart woman may tilt her hat right or left. but tilt it she probably will, for the new ones are generally designed on an oblique line.
 Berets bit more draped than last year pert tricorns reminiscent of Madame La Marquise, and snug standing models, says Miss Ferle Heller. New York milliner who has just returned from Paris showings.
 There will be an occasional cloche too. for the woman who must have a. brim, but they will be worn further back on the head
 Colors will match or harmonize with costumes. Felts and velvets promise to be the most popular fall materials.
 The hats this year are more TO- mantle and intriguing than they have been for many a season." says Miss Heller.
 More Revealing
 The tricorns. with shallow crowns worn tilted to one side, reveal much more of the side and back of the head than we have been showing in other years. The smart woman will wear her hair beautifully waved and either arranged in soft curl or pinned in a very flat roll at her back under such hat. which is fin ished, generally, with g veil just missing the end of the nose.
 "Berets of felt, velvet, or knitted wool, fitted snugly to the head or draped bit are going to be one of the smartest hats of the season. And velvet bonnets. fitting close to the head and finished with a chou (double frilD across the back will answer a long-felt need for thc young girl who wants a hat in which she can dine, dance and go to the theater.
 For the girl who wants q dress hat with q brim there is black velvet with six inch hem. rolling softly back from the face in front. The whole keynote of the mode is softness-and sophistication.
 Fur is going to be used more on hats this winter than in many sea sons. You may have your entire hat of a flat fur like Breitschwanz, ie you like. or you may use the fur with felt as aCCent'
 The head contour is still small, milliners and hair dressers declare, although the short almost shingled bob, so popular a year ago. is eiv- ing way to longer tresses, This does not mean very long hair. for coils of long hair tend 10 procure a bunny head outline which ruins the effect Of the trim new hat. The smart woman, they say. will wear her hair long enough to curl 1t up in a finger roll at the nape of her neck or pin into q flat chignon at the back

down and worked v e ever so often

OF running order and for every part
TO be checked thoroughly.
The plant is equipped to practi-
cally make a ship and after every
thousand hours OF flying the Ford
tri-motors and Fokker tri-motorS
are taken down entirely and re-
built. Every $50 hours the motors
are taken apart and the ship given
