LEWIS & C0. PUT
 IN BANKRUPTCY
Hartford Firm InSolVent, Bank
 Commissioner Says

Hartford, Nov. 13 tP>-With an es- timated deficit to customers of s100,- 900, the local brokerage firm of Lewis & Company was petitioned into receivership by Bank Commis- sioner Lester E. Shippee, through Assistant Attorney General John H. King in superior court here this afternoon. This estimated deficit is the re-liquidation figure and may be considerably reduced.
 The causes of the crash, the sec ond of importance in Hartford since the current depression set in, are threefold, according to Commis- sioner Shippee. First, the continued decline in the stock market; second, failure to sell out margin accounts. and third, a general frozen condition Of the firms assets.
 The Hartford Connecticut Trust Co. was to be named receiver.
 Since October 30, when Commis- sioner Shippee sent corps of exam iners into the company's offices, un- der Henry Evanier, to investigate it's condition, no business has been transacted. Today the Hartford of fee at 750 Main street and the Will limantic office was closed by the bank commissioner.

IRREGULARITY SEEN 0N BOND MARKET
Several Foreign Issues Profit
 From Technical Recovery

New York, Nov. 13 P-lrregu- larity which has characterized price movement in the bond market for protracted period again was in evi- dence today, in quiet trading. Sec ond trade rails which dropped to new 1880 lows and some of the for eigns that were under pressure profted from a technical recovery which erased part of the losses of the previous session.
 Otherwise the market followed the same tendency that has marked trading this week Seasoned high priced issued hold fairly firm with the rest of the investment list neg lected by buyers except in isolated instances.
 Municipal bond issues stood alune in the new financing field. Common wealth of Kentucky offered s7,4o1,- 900 i 1-2 per cent bridge revenue bonds and there were two other is- sues in the million dollar class.
 Money conditions now are very easy as indicated by the large sup ply of funds offered in the call money market and bankers foresee no change until just before Thanks giving when the holiday demand for funds will have the usual firming influence. Time money remains dull and unchanged. while the call money renewal rate holds at per cent.
 A feature of the bond market. &C., tivity today was the buying of Ger man International 5 1-cs. St. Paul 5s, and several other railroad issues that receded 10 new lows yesterday. The German bond recovered more than a point of it's loss.

Yasco de Cana, First to Make
 Trip, Required S15 Days

Washington, D. C.. Nov, 13 Five days from England to India was the new aerial record recently set by Wing Commander Kingsford- Smith. Nasco da Cana made a record trip to India, too; his was the first all- water trip from Europe 10 the east, and it took him 315 days to sail from Lisbon 10 Calicut, according 10 bulletin from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geographic Society.
 Da Gama Was Pioneer
 'It took months for da Cana to plan his voyage in search of Christ ians and spices,' " says the bulletin. -Four ships were chartered; large crews were enlisted. Heavy stocks of provisions were slowed for the trip of unknown duration. With great ceremony the mariner paraded to- ward the Tagus River bank amid the plaudits of Portuguese crowds.
 Bands played, priests chanted, wives and children of sailors wept, for such voyage was a Hateful un- dertaking. Maps of the fifteenth century showed the waters of West Africa infested with strange, mythi- cal monsters, large enough to cap size the Portuguese ships
 "Kingsford-Smith went to Lon don flying field early one morning with few friends. Without cere- mony except few handshakes he stepped into the cockpit of his plano and zoomed off into space. He need ed no food supplies. His tanks were filled with dependable power -- gas olne; da Gama's power was the in constant wind.
 Imagine for a moment that Vas co da Cana and kingsford- Smith left Europe at the same instant.

aviator had landed at Karachi. h. dia
 "Da Cana had the best instru- ments his era afforded. With q clumsy makeshift for a seXtant called the astrolabe, he reckoned latitude. Longitude was estimated by variations of the compass needle and guesswork. When the sea was calm he spit ovor the bow and estimated the speed Of his craft by the time it took 70 pass the comparatively fixed spot, His maps were almost useless; he vas his own weather forecaster. The only available infor- nation about his proposed route was derived from the Diaz expedition but Diaz had merely doubled the Cape of Good Hope so that the East Afri- can coast was still unknown.
 "Kingsford- Smith faced a panel clustered with delicate, modern in struments. When he sought 10 learn how high he was flying, he consulted an altimctor. He reckoned latitude hy seNtant and ChrOnometer. A climb and turn indicator showed whether he was flying straight and on an even keel. There were gas and oil gauges and q thermometer to register the temperature of the wa ter-cooling system of his engine. Wireless apparatus kept weather men at his instant call.
 Hottentots Greeted da Cana
 Geographically. da Gama's voy- age was immortal. His landing fields were quiet bays. He was greeted by natives who had never seen white men. Among them were Hottontots who carried long spears in one hand. famed themselves with foxtails tied to a stick with the oth- CT hand, and their ears were adorn- ed by as many shells and pieces of copper as the lobes would support. Da Gama's next stop was always a hazard. One time he was 96 days out of sight of land.'
