NO FURTHER WORD IF 'TRADEW|ND'
 0|V TIE ATLANTIC

HORTA, Azores, Jan. 17. (P)- A northeast gale which whipped across the route of the airplane "Tradewind," flying from Hamil- ton, Bermuda, to the Azores Is land, is believed to have caused Mrs. Beryl Hart and Lieut.. Will liam MacLaren to lose their way.
 Late last Sunday night the two fliers who were trying to make the first crossing of the Atlantic Oceon with "pay load" of com mercial commodities were long overdue at Horta.. Heavy clouds hung low over the islands and rockets and flares were sent shooting into the sky at definite periods in an attempt to guide the 'TradeWind" to her destina- tion if the pilots brought her any where near
 The wireless station at Fayal, in the Azores, was i'll constant communication with ships along the route the "Tradewindr was to follow, but none of the vessels reported sighting the plane.
 It is possible that the pilots found it advisable because of wea- ther conditions to change their plans and head straight flor con- tinental Europe. The airplane should have arrived at Horta carly this week. Poor visibility obtained in the vicinity of the islands how ever and choppy seas increased the anxiety because of the added danger should a forced landing be made. All preparation had been made at Horta for refueIing the "1TadeWind7 when she arrived

TW0 WOMEN WIN
 RARE TROPHIES
 ON BISON HUNT

NEW YORK, Jan., 16 (F- Two women recently won tro- phies in one of the most exclu- siye of all sports, bison hunting.
 Since the disappearance of the great buffalo herds which used to blacken the Kansas prairies, the buffalo or bison hunting has become practically an extinct sport, and few present day big game hunters can point to a buffalo head among their tro- phieS.
 Arizona, however, manages to keep the old tradition alive. for intelligent conservation work has kept a good-sized herd in its natural state on the Kaibab plateau So rapidly has the herd grown in recent years that it has now become necessary for the state gome commission to authorizze an annual hunt in order that the herd shall not outrun it's own food supply.
 Ten hunters made up this years party, and two women. Mrs. J. G. Tarbell of Phoenix and Mrs. Emma K. Haynie of Tucson, shot one bison each. as did others Of the party.
