DEsENzANo. LAKE GARDA, Italy,
August 20.-We have again pene-
trated the stratosphere successfully
this time rising to $500 meters, or
54.120 feet, slightly more than 101s
miles. On our previous ascent we
reached an altitude of 81, 1882 feet.
The notes of myself and my assistant
Max Cosyns, show that we were exactly
IL hours in the air and that we trav-
eled $50 kilometers, or 155 miles, IN all.
Every one of our objectives was at
tanned in this fascinating adventure.
When we were all ready and anxious
to start, 1t took immense patience to
stand idly by, waiting for favorable
conditions, but the weather was just a
little unfavorable.
We would have preferred torrents of
rain lasting for fortnight, but be-
cause outwardly the weather was beau
tiful the public misunderstood the in
terminable delays. Beautiful weather
is not enough. 1t is necessary to have
at least 18 hours of meteorological
knowledge in advance in order to make
proper preparations. We knew GER
tainly on the day preceding our actual
take-off whether or not conditions
would remain favorable for the dura-
ton of our ascent as well as for our
preparations.
Everything was ready by Thursday
August H. A body of 12O Swiss mill
tary air force, $50 policemen and So
other guards we're mobilized. The bal
loon was taken to the field, and we
then received a dispatch from Herr
Gerrer, Swiss meteorologist, warning us
that a storm was impending. The
public, however, saw only blue sky.
Storm Breaks Over Lake.
Early that evening storm broke
over Lake Zurich, and it was plain our
meteorologist was vindicated, because
after all he had not manufactured that
delay. Finally, Wednesday. August IT,
the weather was reported entirely sat-
isfactory. with no danger Of storms
Again the organization at the air
drome was modified, and, under an
afternoons blistering sun, the balloon
was laid out
The arrangements of the ropes con-
trolling the great envelope were not
simple to handle. The heat below the
envelope was almost overpowering
Our safety and success depended on
the perfect alignment of the ropes,
without which the proper imitation of
the balloon could not be controlled.
However, everything was finally
Strengthened out and made shipshape.

that Office by Congress today.
Bonifaz was elected President last
october, but his four-year term was not
scheduled to begin until September
this year Since the election there have
been numerous demonstrations against

a riot at Quito
Last night a special commission Of

BRIDE NOT COMING TO U. S.
Amy johnson Reconsiders Plan Of Join
ing MolIison.

LONDON. August 20 (P-Amy John
son, noted British woman long distance
flyer and bride of j. A. Mollison, who
landed in New Brunswick yesterday
after a fight from Portmarnock, Ire
land, reconsidered today her decision to
sail for New York to join him.
Yesterday she announced she would
sail today, but this was Cancelled, and
it seemed unlikely she would go at all.
Her secretary said she had not slept
for three nights because of anxiety for
her husband and that she still did not
consider the anxiety ended until he had
completed his return flight from New
York to London
Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald
cabled his congratulations to the flyer
for "a wonderful flight, which calls for
our heartiest admiration"

Of motor trouble, and that is a very
faint possibility indeed"
Mollison gave up entirely his original
plan to make the round trip flight from
Britain to New York and back again
in less than three days. After flying
to New York Sunday he will wait fol
his wife to arrive and rest up before
attempting the return trip.
His hearing was so affected by the
continuous roar of the motor that he
was unable to accept dozens of tele-
phone calls which came to him at the
farm home near Pennf1eld Ridge. where
he went for cup of tea after he
landed. The farmer who took him in,
Raymond Hawkins, had to do the talk
ing for him.
Mollison was credited today with four
new aviation records through his pres
ent flight-the first flyer to fly west
ward solo over the Atlantic Ocean; the
shortest time from land to land on a
westward crossing; the first transatlan-
tic flight in light plane, and the
longest duration flight in a small plane
