Old Suits Of Wiley Post And Harold Gatty Become
 Famous As The Aviators

Mineola, N. Y., July 1.-CUP)-A couple of ordinary. everyday suits here-like their now renowned owners. Wiley Post and Harold Gatty-have become famous almost overnight. And Morris Jacobs, who also has been crowded into the lime light, gives his word for it that it's tough to part with them. But he and his wife decided that it would be embarra ssing for the around-the- world flyers, who are expected 10 drop down here sometime to-day, not to have a change of clothing, and so they have surrendered the famous suits to William Ulbrich, a Roosevelt field pilot.
 Post took his blue serge suit and Gatty's pongee outfit to Jacobs tailoring shop to be cleaned and pressed in time for the flight, but the aviators hopped off without them last Tuesday, first asking Ulbrich to get them for the flyers return. When Ulbrich went to Jacobs shop, he found an ave- struck crowd gaZ-

1 ing solemnly in the window-at a pongee suit and a card underneath reading:
 This suit belongs to MT Post, tha aviator, who is making flight around the world" Jacobs had the suits mixed, but that didn't seem
 to worry the crowd any. Ulbrich
 went in to claim the suits, but im- mediately met with resistance, Jacobs informing him that he want ed Post to call for them in person so that he could shake his hand. He also assured Ulbrich that he knew all about souvenir hunters, and kept the suits locked in safe place at night.
 Ulbrich then said it would be pretty embarrassing if Post and
 Gatty returned to find their only
 suits not available, and he was sure
 "a nice lady like Mrs Jacobs wouldn't want two famous flyers em barrassed." That won the suits and Ulbrich left with a promise to
 ask Post and Gatty to come around and shake hands with the Jacobs.

 Atlanta, July 1.-UP)-Two rival groups of attorneys, working without collaboration, are perfecting appeals to the Alabama supreme court for eight Negroes sentenced to die July 10 for allegedly ssault- ing two white girls on moving freight train near Huntsville, Ala, March 25.
 Refusal of the two groups to col la borate, the United Press learned to-day, is based on the belief of one group that the other has abortively injected into the case the element of "class struggle" in an effort to make it appear another "sacco-Van- zetti'' affair.
 Dr Will w. Alexander, executive director of the inter-racial commis- sion, Atlan&a, which has interested itself in the case in an effort to un- tangle the legal snarl, told the United Press in an interview "the case is complicated by outside agen- cies interested in class propaganda.

Pictures and Portraits Are Now
Taken InstantaneOusly

The days of looking at the photo
grapher's "birdie" are numbered
since science, with one of its newest
tricks, has made it unnecessary to
hold still while portrait is being
taken, according to James Bell, To-
cal photographer.
Mr.. Bell Ras experimental success
fully with the new super-sensitlve
type of film which will take a picture
instantaneously, as compared with
the one OF two second exposure
which was necessary in the past, and
because of which the subject had to
hold a fixed expression and "pose".
The advantage of shorter exposure
is expected by Mr.. Bell to be especial
ly noticeable in photography of chill
dren. Mr.. Bell has also installed a
new lighting system, and this, added
to the supersensitive film, which IS
five times faster than those formerly
used, enables him to make instantan-
eous portraits of difficult subjects
either in the home or in the studio.
