RUTH NICHOLS DUE
TO QUIT HOSPITAL
Aviatrix, Hurt, Able to Leave
When Pain Is Lessened,
Physician Says.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ST. JOHN, New Brunswick, June "a.
Ruth Nichols of New York, who was
injured when she smashed her plane In
landing here Monday probably will be
permitted to leave the hospital in a
few days, physicians said today.
Miss Nichols condition remained un-
changed today. She was still suffering
considerable pain from two injured
vertebrae. She slept at intervals.
Undaunted by the cracked Vertebrae.
a wrecked plane and postponement of
her tranSoceanic flight, Ruth Nichols
smiled from her hospital cot and vowed
she would not give up her LIES am
bition. She said nothing could stop her
from continuing her attempt to be the
first woman to fly solo across the At
lantic.
Plans to Try Hop Again.
AS soon as / get out OF bed and
secure enough money TO recondition
my ship. I'll be on my way" the
society ayiatriX said.
She sent messages to her represent
ativeS III New York that her mono
plane was being shipped back there for
repair and she would start out again AS
soon as 1t was ready, her physical con-
dltion had improved and weather con-
ditions were right.
DR.. q. A. 3. Addy, who X-rayed her
back today, said she had no other in
Juries than the cracked Vertebrae and
a cut on the right knee. He said the
back injuries were not serious because
the vertebrae had not been dislocated.
When the pain has subsidized, she will
be able to return to her home, at Rye,
N. Y, and rest, the doctor said.
Dispatches from New York indicated
her family had given permission for
her, to attempt once more TO span the
Atlantic.
Capt. H. H. Railey, Miss Nichols
business manager, who has been In
Europe preparing for her arrival there.
sailed from Cherbourg for New York
on the Bremen today. After his arrival
there Sunday he said, he will make a
definite announcement of Miss Nichols
plans.
Explains Cause Of Crash.
In one sentence the resolute girl
flyer explained how she cracked up
last night as she ended the first phase
OF her ambitious sky adventure:
II think the mistake came in trying
to bring down a fast ship onto small
field coupled with the fact the setting
sun completely blinded me so that
could not see in front Of the ship, thus
making the landing impossible"
Clarence Chamberlin, her technical
adviser who arrived here by plane p
short time after the accident, said an
average sized ship would have no trouble
on the field. but 80 per cent of the
best flyers would find it impossible II
land successfully with a plane as fast
as Miss Nichols.

Discusses Drive to Build War
Relics House.

A museum to be located on the
scene of the famous battle of ManaS-
saS, to house relics Of the Civil War
engagement was discussed last night
at a meeting of the Mary Taliaferro
Thompson Association of the Confed-
Grated Southern Memorial Association
in the Willard Hotel.
The sites of the first and second
Manassas conflicts have been pdr-
chased by the Manassas Battlefield
Association but to date that organi-
zation has been unable to manage the
erection of building to contain the
many relics donated to 1t and to the
Mary Taliaferro Thompson group. The
latter body proposes. therefore, to un-
dertake the campaign to obtain the
museum. which will be presented to
the battlefield association as a me-
mortal.
Tentative plans for this program
probably will be completed by July 81
of this year when the annual Manassas
celebration will be held. Mrs. Henry
Gordon Clay is president of the Thomp-
son Association, and Mrs. Albert Ford
Ferguson is secretary.

There Was No k-Up, Was There?"
LOS ANGELES, June "a P.-"oh,
today. when told dispatches reported
her husband and Wiley Post had land
ed near Chester, England.
There was no crack-up, was there?"
was her first question. Then. oh,
I'm so glad At least they have reached
the other side of the Atlantic and after
all Berlin is not so far away. l want
to send some message to cheer them
up. Tell them I'm awfully glad they
crossed the Atlantic safely and wish
them luck on their next hop"
The flight was a 100-to-l shot to be
q success on at least one thing, their
friends said here today. There would
be no waste of words, as both flyers are
highly unconVerSational.
In the plant where Posts plane was
built here confidence reigned that the
two flyers will accomplish their goal OF
around the world in 10 days.
Each Is an expert. Post Is regarded
by his fellows as one Of the countryS
most capable pilots. Gatty'S standing
as navigator Is unqueStioned.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gatty have three chill

down the flying field runway at s:45

gracefully into the air on the heaving
shoulders of a brisk west wind and
headed into the rising sun.
The flyers had arrived at the airport
25 minutes before the take-off. Their
plane was being warmed up as they
rode onto the field, and few minor de-
tails were taken care of while they
waited for daybreak and the freshening
wind.
Caught Cold Aiding Rivals.
Both seemed confident and Hillig had
apparently suffered no i'll effects from
a cold he contracted yesterday while
aiding the crew Of the Winnie Mae.

ocean.
Hillig and Hoiriis were about to climb
into the plane and the crowd already

was delayed several minLtes while

tents OF the package wer- unknown.
Everything finally packed safely in

The weather was suspicious The
last report they saw gave them clear
skies on both sides Of the Atlantic and
reported diminishing storm in mid

disturbance would have disappeared
before they got far at sea.
1t was the third leg of their flight
to Denmark. They made an 800-mile
flight from Teterboro, N. j.. 10 st.
