SEN.BROOKHART.
CONDEMNS WAR

Soldiers who have served their
country in the thick of battle
know that war is a crime" Sena,
tor Smith W. Brookhart (RD of
Iowa, told the gathering Of Span
ish War veterans at the Soldiers
Home Cemetery observance TO-
day.
The IoWan said:
"The American people do not
believe in war. No part of
them is more deeply grounded
in the desire for peace than
the soldiers who have served In
wars of the country.
Following this precept we
have adopted an international
treaty OutIawing war entirely,
and its ratification has made it
the supreme law of the land.
The loyal American will there.
fore denOunCe war as crime
and look to a higher civiliza-
ton for the settlement of in
ternatiOnal disputes"
Senator Brookhart declared the
Spanish-American War was
fought for the freedom of a neigh,
boring and oppressed people, and,
therefore. met the test of Ameri,
can ideals. He commended the
establishment of the Spanish re,
public.
Lincoln's Gettysburg address
was delivered by Inspector Will,
liam S. Shelby, assistant superin,
tendent Of Metropolitan police,
and the order establishing Memo

rays is probably too small to
harness for use, but there is a
possibility that further up they
will provide new source OF
energy for the world.
There is a tremendous ther-
NAL source of energy in the
stratoscope, for nowhere are
possible such differences of
temperature, existing side by
side, to such a degree as we
found.
Inside the balloons gondola,
hermetically sealed and contain
ing a supply of life-giving oxy-
gen, the temperature was 40
degrees above centigrade zero
at one time and outside the
gondola the temperature was
go degrees below zero.
Incidentally, hot as it was
inside, being there was prefer
able to being subjected to the
outside cold.
Assembled Rapidly
Even now, I get a thrill on
reliving the experience. We
shot upwards, after being re-
leased at Augsburg. We trav-
eled so fast that the gondo1a
developed a leak.
We worked frantically to clog
the leak or patch it with cot
ton waste and vaseline. All
during the time we were taking
our observations, we were wor-
ried whether the leak was fully
patched, and took time off now
and then to inspect it.
Then the oxygen tanks be-
gan to leak, and we had to
tape them up. Nevertheless, we
succeeded in having almost
constant air pressure, enabling
us to breathe properly and
keep from getting weak.
We were able to make many
experiments. observations and
notes.
Kipfer and I were in the
stratosphere a sufficient num-
ber of hours to prove that man
could remain there safely, but
entirely dependent upon being
enclosed with an artificial air

I firmly believe that within
a few years it will be possible
to remain in the stratoSphere

ASH SET To HOP
FOR TACOMA

SABISHIRO BEACH, Japan,
May 80 Q.N.S0 Thomas Ash,
American wartime aviator, today
awaited favorable winds for his
proposed flight from this unshel-
tered beach to Tacoma, Wash.
The flight was postponed until
tomorrow because of adverse
weather conditions. Ash was
forced to disappOint the crowd of
enthusiastic fisher.fOlk who gath
cred on the beach today to wit
ness the take-Off, but invited them
all to return tomorrow if the
weather is clear.
Fly Ocean Alone
Ash arrived here yesterday
after a hop of about $50 miles
from Toxic. He said he hoped to
make the rest of the 4,4l7-mile
nonstop flight in about 10 or so
hours. He will travel alone
The plane will carry little cargo
other than the heavy load of gaSo-
line required for the flight. Be-
sides a letter from. the Japanese
newspaper Asahi to President
Hoover and a four-leaf clover, he
will take with them only some
coffee and enough food to last
him through the flight.
Ash pronounced his mOnOplane
In good condition and expressed
concern only about the take-Off.
Although the beach here generally
is firm and moist, the 6,OOO-pOund
weight of the plane and its load
OccaSiOned some anxiety.
Villagers Lend Help
The natural runway was put in
good condition by villagers who
volunteered their services, and
with the help of a special device
attached to the plane, Ash felt
that he should experience little
difficulty in getting into the air.

Tests Show Decrease
in tuberculosis Cattle

The success of the Nation-wide
campaign to eradicate bovine tuber-
culosis has been due largely to the
determination on the part Of the pub
lie not to tolerate the presence of
such dangerous livestock malady.
This is the opinion expressed by DIR.
A. E. Wight, in charge of tuberculosis
eradication for the United States
Department of Agriculture, at the re-
cent annual meeting of the United
States Livestock Sanitary association
at Chicago.
Referring to the results obtained
by the compaign, Doctor Wight gave
the following comparison: In the 15-
year period ended in 1908, 100000
tuberculin tests were applied which
disclosed an infection of 10 per cent
In the year 1881 alone more than 13
million tuberculin tests showed only
1.5 per cent infection. This was at
the rate of more than a million tests
a month and is an indication Of the
vast effort being put forth to con-
quer tuberculosis among cattle.
Tuberculosis eradication work un-
der the area plan continues to be a
satisfactory and practical method of
exterminating the disease" Doctor
Wight said. "Since the first of No.
