AvIATORS TESTING
TWO E DEVICES

Detroit, Mich, June 17.-(P)-Ed
Schlee and Billy Brock. who took of
this morning from Jacksonville, Fla.
on an attempted dawn to dawn flight
to San Diego, Calf, and return, not
only hope to set new speed records
by crossing the continent twice In "a
hours but plan the most exhaustive
tests yet made Of two important fly
ing accessories.
These accessories are a new two
way radio set, believed to have In
proportion to its weight the longest
range of any set yet developed, and
the gyroscopic artificial horizon" in
strument designed to help a pilot
maintain his lateral position when
flying blind" The instrument con-
sists of a cylinder mounted on the
planes instrument board. A small
gyroscope within the cylinder, revolv-
ing at from 1900 to 10000 revolu-
tions a minute, remains upright anc
parallel to the real horizon through
out all the pitches and rolls of the
airplane.
A model of an airplane is attached
to the face Of the instrument in front
of the artificial horizon" line drawn
by the gyroscope. The model rolls
and pictures at the same angles as
does the airplane itself. BY observing
the position Of the model with rela-
ton to the gyroscope horizon, the
pilot knows the relation Of his plane
to the actual horizon.

WITH MATCHES,
CHILDREN FIRE Bed
Mother Back in Time to Nip
Blaze by Calling Firemen
With Chemical Truck

Two children playing with matches
managed to produce a fire alarm and
some damage to the home tenanted
by the family of Peter Smith, 300
South Eleventh street, Monday after
noon, but themselves escaped that
frequent penalty Of burns and even
death.
The match play occurred while the
parents were both away from the
house. The mother came back in
time to discover the flames starting
in a bed in one Of the rooms. A call
was sent to the firemen, but it failed
to state whether the No. 303 was
north or south.
The apparatus vas driven to 300
North Eleventh, but there was no
fire there, so the firemen, with time
lost, hurried to that number south OF
the N. P. tracks.
The fire had not got a real start
though as far as 1t had progressed 1t
had burned considerable bedding and
damaged the walls and floor. A spray
Of chemical solution sufficed to ex-
tinguish it.

OCEAN TO OCEAN
AND RETURN HOP
BEGUN BY FLYERS
Brock and Schlec Leave Florida
on Round Trip Flight to
San Diego

Jacksonville Beach, Fla, June IT,
R)-William s. Brock and Edward F.
schlee took off at'5:o4 e. S. to to-
day for a round trip flight to San
Diego, Calf.
The start was without incident,
their monoplane skimming down the
beach for half q mile before rising
and heading into the west.
/. Brock and Schlee, who carried $50
gallons Of gasoline, hope to reach
San Diego, a distance Of 2,1l2 miles
and return to Jacksonville beach in
a. to 80 hours.
Overcast weather prevailed at the
take-off and moderate headwinds and
showers were predicted along the
route OF the flight.
Three records for coast to coast
trips are held by Captain Frank
Hawks. These are 10 hours 10 min
utes for the east-west hop and II
hours 80 minutes for the west to east
jump and A hours for elapsed time,
but the transcontinental route from
Jacksonville beach to San Diego is
about 400 miles shorter than the dis
lance between New York and Los
Angeles, which was covered by Cap
tain Hawks.
The stream lined monoplane Of the
famous pair is radio equipped and the
filters expected to establish commun-
ications with Dallas, Fort Worth,
Clovis, Albuquerque, Winslow and Los
Angeles to obtain weather forecasts
and to report the progress of their
flight.
The plane, which weighs $500
pounds with a full load. was expected
to average 16O to ITO miles an hour.
For good luck, Schlee arranged to
wear the same pair of tan and white
sport shoes he wore when another
monoplane, the Pride Of Detroit.
carried them safely across the At
lantic ocean and Europe to Tokyo in
1927.
