some states Cooperate

Washington, Jan. 10 tP)-ApproX- imatcly half the states are giving fairly satisfactory cooperation in dry law enforcement. Assistant Sec r"tarS LoWman said today, adding that in the other half it was spas modic and not all the government would wish.
 The treasury, through the prohi- bition bureau. started a movement last summer to obtain better cooper atiou from the states. Conferences were held with governors and pros cCutors and they were asked to shoulder more of the prohibition burden by trying minor violations under the state nuisance statutes. As a result of these conferences. Lowman said. some aid was being received in each state, though in many cases it was spasmodic and

 Block Island, E. l., Jan. 10 R)- The frcightcr Edward Luckcnbach, which grounded on Southwest Point ir a dense fog carly today will prob ably be q total loss, it was believed here, as q strengthening southcastcr pounded the vessel with heavy seas.
 The frcightcr rests on q rocky sec 1ion of the shore, scarcely 100 yards below high water mark. She came on at high water, and as the tide ebbed the Luckenbach settled more firmly into her rocky bed. Water entering through her torn hull flood ed the engine room and the pound ing broke open her fuel oil tanks Oil washed ashore gave the beach a slimy coating.
 Crew still on Board
 Although the surf continued to sweep over the freighter at low tide she was so high her propeller Was out of Water-her crew of 4S elect ed to remain on board. The Luck enbach rests broadsidc to the beach end to the racing seas
 Coast guardsmcn from the cutter Henley. in g small boat, boarded the freighter, and another crew from the west side coast guard station gained her side in q surf boat after battling the heavy seas and a head tide.
 With the incoming tide and d strengthening southeast wind. coast Suardsmen said the vessels plight would be even more precarioIs. There appeared little chance Of hauling her off into deep water even if she would remain afoat, which seemed doubtful because of damage to the hull.
 Officer Aboard Craft
 A coast guard officer. Ensign Miner, remained aboard with the Luckcnbach's crew, to signal 10 the shore Iii the event of an emergency.
 Residents who know the treach- crouS point are confident the ves- scls doom is sealed. With WHY hu- lnor they recall other vessels that have in the past attempted short cut across the point of land. The tanker Meteor was lost there a year ago and the schooner Lone Star left her bones on the point three years ago.

six hours, made by Hawley Bowlus Of San
Diego, Calf.
Previously at Highland Light Cape Cod,
HeSselbach established q new American record
while performing for movie cameramen. He
stayed up So minutes and thereby eclipsed the
mark set by Orville Wright, who in 4011 at
Kitty Hawk, N. c., remained in the air min
utes As seconds In a box-glider. Hesselbach's
craft was monoplane, built on O far more
scientific order than Wrights primitive, kite
like ship, hence the comparison Of HesSelbach'S
modern feat with Wright's early effort Is hardly
appropriate.
One Of the most attractive features Of gliding
lies in the fact that the hazard Is virtually nil.
Less than q dozen men have lost their lives In
the IL years Of Germany's soaring progress.
Four of these were caught In sudden, terrific
windstorms and dashed down into forests It
is rare that motorleSs plane is Cracked up"
This is because Of the slow, easy manner in
which the craft returns to earth-wafted down
as lightly rs leaf that descends in q lazy
beeze.
The low cost of building glider, the fact
that It costs nothing to operate it's utter
simplicity and the celebrating thrill that
comes Of riding the ether in q soundless ship
and being able to converse with the earthlings
below are Irresistible inducements to persons
who wish 70 go up in the air.
But In order to navigate a glider must have
wind. A wind with velocity of less than IS
miles an hour Is useless for soaring. A 3O-nile

wind is more satisfactory. Further, it must be
q faithful wind, for when the wind gives up 50
does the glider. Obviously, the soaring cam
not be done over level ground: there must be
terrain broken by numerous steep hills, each
with an elevation Of 100 feet or more.
This Is imperative, for to gain and maintain
altitude the soaring pilot must hop from hin
to hill and win full advantage of rising air
currents over each hill.
Every glider landing is q forced landing.
Aside from this, glider flying Is very similar to
powered flying. With glider one learns to ny
as one learns to skate. by trial-and-error
method. An error In powered flying may be
disastrous, but in glider flying it almost never Is.
Soaring Is the ultimate goal Of every glider
fan. Soaring ships are specially built to take
advantage Of very slight variations in air cur
rents. Their performance Is by far the most
interesting phase OF gliding. Rising currents
from warm areas of ground and currents de-
nected from ridges and other distractions are
utilized. The gliding enthusiasts idea OF
heaven Is q stretch Of country that consists
of alternating ridges and plains
THE story Of gliding is inseparably bound up

romantic than his thrilling efforts in other
