.A|RPLANE CRASH
IS FATAL TO TWO
Pilot and Wife Killed and Two
Passengers Hurt-Fog
Blamed for Accident.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HAYS, Kans., April 17-Fog, the
enemy of aviation, has claimed at least
two additional lives. the result of a
plane crash here yesterday.
A. j. (Steve) Lacey, 81. Wichita,
Kans., test pilot and exhibition flyer,
and his wife. 20, died following the fall
of a plane piloted by the aviator. Rus
sell Guild, %. of Holyoke, Colo, is in
a critical condition in a Hays hospital.
DR.. H. c. Hill, also of Holyoke, the
fourth occupant of the plane, less seri-
ously injured, also is receiving hospital
treatment.
Exact extent of Guilds injuries has
not been determined, pending an X-ray
examination later today. 1t is believed
his spine is fractured. DR.. Hill received
a broken nose and several fractured
ribs.
According to DR.. Hill, the pilot ap-
parently lost his sense of direction after
flying for 20 minutes in dense fog, and
headed the airplane into the ground.
The plane speeded $500 feet and buried
itself in a pasture.
An investigation of the crash, in an
effort to determine the exact cause, Is
planned today with the arrival of Clyde
G. Cessna, president Of the company
that employed Lacey. from Wichita. j.
P. Brock, county coroner, said he would
cooperate with the airplane company
officfal and his assistants, their investi-
CATION to determine whether an inquest
would be held.
The same fog thought to have caused
the crash prevented the arrival late
Yesterday by air of the Wichita party.

TWO-HOUR PARKING LIMIT
IS ORDERED AT MUSEUM
Arrangement Made to Accommo-
date Tourists Visiting Smith
sonian Institution.

Calculated to afford visiting tourists
an opportunity to park their cars and
see the National Museum and the
Smithsonian Institution, two-hour
parking limit was placed In effect yes
terday in the Smithsonian grounds.
This announcement was made by Capt.
Ray Montgomery, U. S. A., superintend-
emit of the United tSates park police.
under whose jurisdiction this area
Capt. p. ]. Carroll of the park police
explained that this arrangement Will
be effective at once between the hours
Of 8 am. and pm. The parking
spaces hitherto have been nlonopolized
by the all-day parkers, Capt. Carroll
said, so that there were no places for
the tourists to park. All the park
ing facilities were utilized by Govern
ment workers, because persons who were
employed blocks away left their cars
in the Smithsonian area all day. The
adjoining streets, too, were taken up
by all-day parkers, 30 that the visiting
tourists had little or no chance.
Capt Montgomery said that while
the park police regret the necessity Tor
this rule, this area is now necessary
for greater usefulness, and Washing
ton, famed as q tourist center, must
care properly for its visitor motorists.

Kites-How to Build Them
BY PAUL EDWARD CARRIER
q National Museum smt Institution
Prepared for the District of CoHsbia Model AnerG League

The kite illustrated today Is easy to
make and presents Q pretty sight in
the air. Suppose we made one SO
inches tall. It will require one stick
that long by five-sixteens inch square
and two sticks of the same section 81
inches long. Mark OF the long stick
into fourths, and at the upper and lower
mark lash q cross stick at its center
and at right angles. Next, using the
cross-sticks as bases, form two triangles
with outline strings extending from the
ends of the stick to the furthest end OF
the vertical stock. This frame is covered
by laying 1t on a large sheet Of paper
and marking out the outline with q
one-inch margin, cutting out the shape
and pasting the margin over the out
line string. The result Is a stx-potnted
star or hexagram.
The bride is composed OF three
strings connected to opposite ends OF
the sticks and joined at an apex ii
inches from the kite surface and oppo-
site the upper cross. Such kite ts
usually flown with q tail, about Is
feet long, made of pieces Of paper
10x5 inches, tied foot apart In Q
length of string. The tail Is fastened
to the bottom. Experiments may be
made in light winds without Q tail
If the two horizontal sticks are bowed
backward, as In the Eddy kite described
in Article VI.

(the toy "drachen." Veterans Of the
war will recall the drachen balloons
which the Germans had over the front
lines for artillery fire direction. They
were so called because they embodied
kite characteristics to enable them to
fly steadier. The French name for
kites is "cerf-volant." There is a

ter j. Ramsay Macdonald and

SHANGHAI. Aug. 1 0.NS).
With the rest Of the world wariDy
watching Communist activities on
Moscow's designated "'Intsrna-
tional Anti.War Day" the fertile
Yangste Valley today quaked un-
der the devastating onrush of sew
eral Red armies.
With Changsha. capital city Of
Honan province, already mass Of
pillaged ruins and looted houses,
the Communist hordes swArned
like a locust cloud toward several
river cities, threatening these
Chinese communities with a fate
similar to that of Changsha.
Authorities here and at Hankou
clamped down martial law as pre-
cautions against Communist dem
onstrations and against Antici.
pated attacks upon Hankow, the
Chicago Of South Central China"
A Red horde has appeared
within viewing distance of Kill-
kiang, midway between Marking
and Hankow, believed to have
been singled out as the next Corn
muniSt victim. The Red forces
appeared in two distinct bodies,
approaching mainly from the
south and west about 20 miles
from the city limits. The com.
munity is weakly defended and
probably will surrender to the
raiders without much struggle.
Hankow. was practically sur.
rounded by Communists since the
capture of Siaokan, 20 miles
South of Hankow and the cut
ting of the Peking- -Hankow Rail
way, 40 miles north of the city.
Volunteer forces in the munic-
ipality'S japanese concession
erected barbed wire entanglements
as a measure of protection
against the expected onslaught,
and other advices stated that the
japanese government has re-
queSted the Chinese nationalist
government to withdraw a strong
body of troops from the northern
front to reinforce the weak
Hankow garrison.
Messages from there said the
British gunboat Aphis arrived
from Changsha with 49 refugees
aboard including six Americans.
Meanwhile the British destroyers
H. M. S. Somme and H. M. s.
Slrdar were proceeding at full
speed toward Marking to await
further orders.
