POOL DEATHS

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. ,13.-Two
small Glenside boys are dead.
Seven investigations are under
way to determine the cause.
The case is one Of the most
mysterious ever encountered by
the district attorney. For two days
he has been attempting to solve it,
spurred on by his own child's con.
dition.
The two dead children and the
Renninger boy all went swimming
in a public swimming pool at
GIenside.
Medical experts have openly ad-
mitted that the situation has per-
picked them. They have so far
been unable to determine exactly
what caused the two deaths.
The most salient fact brought
out SO far by the investigators is
that the pool was cleaned out and
the sides scrubbed recently.

start on the transatlantic trip at
10 o'clock tonight.
Minor damage sustained to the
envelope of the air liner on her
1,OOO-mile flight over Canada over
the weekend has been repaired
and the airship was pronounced
ready fo2 its second crossing of

The passenger list, which has

Motor Crippled
IA case of Canadian-grown
peaches will be taken over on the
ship, consigned to the Prince of
Wales. s
The R-10O will sail with only
five of her engines working, the
starboard engine having been
crippled during the Canadian
tour. Because Of the difficulty
involved in making repairs with
out a hangar, it was decided to
sail with the sixth engine useless.
However, officials of the dirigible
said the extra engine was not
needed and they said they even
hoped to lower the Graf Zeppe-

Three. Engine Hop
It was further explained that
during part of the trip only three
engines will be used and that If
head winds were encountered
four engines would be sufficient
to make at least fair progress.
AS the R-100 was ready to de.
part on the return trip to Eng
land. it was reported Sir Den
nistoun Burney, her designer,
planned to ask the British govern
ment to inaugurate regular bi-
weekly transatlantic flights.
Support Promised
However, even should the gov
ernment approve the plans, it
would be some time before such a
service was started, it was said, as
building of a ship similar to the
R-1OO was contemplated. :
Support for the proposed regu.
lar dirigible service has been
promised by Canadians and the
government of Cana da has
pledged approval of the contem.
plated air service.
Canadians were enthusiastic
over the plan of Sir Dennistoun,
for the airShip would carry mail
giving fast service between Canada
and England.
