BELOW SEA-[EVEL
|. FLYING DESCRIBED
Death Valley Survey Report
Made to Bureau by Three
Navy Men.

The novel experience of flying for rs
miles at attitudes ranging from 100 to
300 feet below sea level is described in
a report from three naval aviation
pilots to the Navy Bureau of Aero
nauticS
The flight was made along the length
Of Death Valley during the course of a
survey of available landing areas in
and about that locality. according to
the report. the leader Of the flight of
three planes being Lieut.. Comdr. J. B.
Kneip, air officer of the carrier Langley.
Landing was made in Death Valley
on a sloping field between Furnace
Greek Ranch and Furnace Creek Inn.
The field ranged from 20 feet below sea
level at its southeast end to 1870 feet
below sea level at the other end, and
because of the winds, the planes had to
land uphill and take off down the slope
Taking off from the Furnace Creek
field, the planes dropped we'll below
sea level and remained at zero alti-
tude and below for rs miles. The en-
gines were run with fuel mixture at
its leanest point and still gave evidence
by smoking that the mixture was too
rich. Engine speeds we're found higher
than normal for given throttle settings
due to air pressure greater than normal
Comdr. Kneip reported a splendid
natural landing field near the famous
desert ranch of Death Valley Scotty"
and another fairly good field near
Stoyepipe Wells, at sea level.

NINTH STREET STORE
DAMAGED BY FLAMES
Damage to Shoe Establishment Es-
timated at Thousands; Traffic
Tied Up.

A two-alarm fire in a shoe store at
5l8-520 Ninth street did several thou
sand dollars damage last night and
tied up traffic at Ninth and F streets
for nearly an hour.
The fire, which started behind
counter on the second floor, attracted
several thousand persons and necessi-
tated the calling out of police reserves.
Dense smoke billowed out over Ninth
street and hampered firemen. A sec
ond alarm was turned in Immediately
after fire apparatus responding to the
first call arrived.
The majority of damage to the shoe
store on the ground floor was caused
by water and the chopping away of wall
sections to reach the flames The fire
was in the Guiffre Orthopedic Shoe
Shop, which adjoins the Washington
Loan & Trust Co. Building.

A Century's Advance

From the advent of the railroad
aerial transportation there elapsed
approximately century. The
mighty advances of science and in
vention which came in between
these epochal events were so great
as to tax the imagination. Within
the span of these hundred years a
thousand marvels have been born,
which it would take months of re-
search to enumerate and describe.
Consider a few jotted down off
hand:
Railroads, steel ships, perfected
cotton gins, the telegraph, the tele-
phone, photography, the X-ray,
radium, motion pictures, automo-
biles, radio, aircraft, teleVision and
refinements which have been added
to the original inventions and dis
coveries.
The advance of the past hundred
years appears all the more remark
able when We reflect that mankind
has lived and labored under some
sort of civilization 10000 years.
The achievements of the last CEN
fury have been greater than those
of all the hundred centuries which
preceded it.
The achievements will be strik-
ingly portrayed by the big fair to
be held in Chicago next year in
celebration of "a century of prog
resS. Elk.

TEXAS CAVERNS
TO BE EXPLORED

WASHINGTON one-man ex-
petition into the maze of under
ground caverns of Western Texas,
searching for the bones of ice-age
humans, has just left Washington.
Frank M. Settler, noted archeolo-
gist of the Smithsonian Institution,
will explore this subterranean re-
gion to procure evidence which will
shed more light on primitive
race, contemporaneous with extinct
animals, and which thrived during
the closing centuries of the ice age.
Identity of this ancient race has
long been mystery in the annals
of American archaeology, and the
scanty knowledge available at this
time leads scientists to believe that
the race was the forerunner of the
earliest basket makers.
The search mas led to the Texas
cave region principally through the
discovery last fall of signs of early
basket maker culture in that re-
gion. The discovery also of a spear
head four feet below the stratum
associated with the basket maker
age is regarded by Psychologists
as conclusive proof that race ex-
listed antedating the earliest bas-
ket makers.
Settler will work through the
Southern part of the Big Bend re-
gion in Texas, near the Rio Grande
and then proceed north to Pecos
toward the Guadalupe Mountains

GOOD CITIZENSHIP

Newspapers in the country for
years have waged with poor sue
cess a vote as you please :
but vote" campaign directed to
citizens eligible to vote.
While no adequate statistics for
the nation are available, it is ac-
copied as a fact that only forty
per cent of those eligible to vote
are registered, and of those regis
tered only a portion go to the polls.
Eighty-seven per cent of the reg
istered voters in Germany designat-
ed their will at the polls in the re-
cent presidential election. Over so
per cent of the total number OF
citizens registered to vote. Ger
many thus offers an example of rep
resentatiYe government by the
majority.
In the United States we have an
example of minority government in
which the great mass of the people,
because of inertia and indifference
to voting, are often governed by
that small proportion of people who
are interested enough to vote.
The act of voting is an evidence
of good citizenship, but too often it
is not SO regarded by otherwise
good citizens AS a consequence
these same citizens are often dis
appointed in the officials who have
come into power. No man or wo-
man eligible to vote, but who stays
away from the polls, has the right
to protest against the actions of
any official.

Advertising is a suitable force,
and tests have proved that often
it exerts its influence without the
knowledge of the individual being
influenced. In glancing over a
newspaper, reading news stories
here and there, the reader may not
consciously read an advertisement,
yet subconsciously will note a
trade name, slogan or illustration
will be instrumental in making
him a buyer later.-Ex.

THE PUBLIC'S REACTION TO
ADVERTISING

A group of merchants wanted to
decide for themselves recently, the
answer to the oft-repeated ques-
lion. What Type of Advertising
Attracts you Most?" In typical
business style, these merchants
conducted a survey and sent out
questionaires to large number
of people, asking that question. The
results were extremely interesting.
Here's what they found in tabulat-
ing 331 replies:
The Wrangell sentinel. (Wrangell, Alaska) 1909-current, 1932-04-01

In other words, when these 331
individuals set down the advertis-
ing that attracts their attention
most, more than half of that num-
Der set down newspaper advertis-
ing. OF course, this doesn't mean
that other forms of advertising do
not have merit, for they do. 1t
does mean, however, that for mass
circulation and reader interest, the
newspapers are head and shoulder
above any other advertising me-
dunn.
