AMY JOHNSON SETS
CAPE TOWN RECORD
IN SOLO FLIGHT
Continued From First Page.)


Mollison made the first solo flight from
east to west across the North Atlantic.
Amy was heavy-eyed, but otherwise
surprisingly fresh when she stepped out
Of the plane today.
Thank you very much for this great
welcome" she said. II said would
come back, and here I am"
She posed for the photographers and
then the mayor and his wife and the
rest of the official reception committee
led her away to an automobile.
The British airwoman had been ex-
pected last night to land here in time to
cut approximately Is hours from her
husbands record.
When Mollison made the Cape Town
flight he took is hours OF the time set
by the previous record holder, Miss
Peggy Salaman, London society girl.
Miss johnson left Lympne, England,
early Monday morning, reaching Oran,
Algeria, on her first hop.
Defied Jungle PeriIs.
From there she few to Gao, French
West Africa, and thence to Douala,
CameroonS, across hundreds OF miles Of
dense forest, in which forced-down
flyer probably never would be found.
Her next goal was Mossamedes, but
lack Of oil pressure heated the engine
Of her plane and she was forced down
at Benguela, 200 miles short. For a
time it looked as though her flight was
ended there, but she worked hard over
the engine and got it working well
enough to carry her on,
The 1,000-mile leg from Douala was
the worst Of the entire fight. Tor
rental rain made it impossible for her
to see much more than the line of
breakers marking the shore. Flying low,
she followed that line, occasionally pull
ing up the nose of her ship sharply to
get over jutting cliffs that loomed sud-
denly out Of the murk.
AS Miss Mollison was whisked OF TO
an ONCE on the other side Of the field
this morning she collapsed for just a
moment, burying her head in her arms.
She recovered quickly.
"All 7 want now is Sleep" she said.
"I had only five hours during the whole
trip"
There was a telephone call from her
husband in London. She talked to him,
but declined to answer several other
calls because she was too tired.

Improvement in Business
Next Year Anticipated

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, December 22.-Count Lutz
Schwerin Won Krosigk, finance minister
Of Germany, in an article appearing to-
cay in Heimatdienst, saw Germany's
financial future optimistically.
Forecasting for 1888, he observed:
Though it is not to be assumed that
a forward movement until 1884 will
proceed at the same pace as the down.
ward depression movement developed
from 1929 to 1882, involving. as it did,
a reduction in public revenues by about
10000, ,000, 900 marks (about s2,373, 900, =
0OO, yet We may expect at least so
much business revival that it will be
possible to carry those advanced drafts
on future budgets which had to be
risked to Iberate ourselves from a vici-
GUS circle and help bring about a turn
for the better"
These advance charges on future
budgets, he explained, were chiefly tax
certificates launched by the Won Papen
cabinet under the emergency decree Of
September 5, measures for aiding Ger
man exports and for supporting en-
dangered banks and other charges.
Under the emergency decree taxes
which might hinder production were
turned back to industries in the form
OF certificates on which they could bor-
row an equivalent amount from the
Reichsbank to use in their business. 1t
was hoped the scheme would give en-
ployment to 1,750,000 unemployed.
These advance charges altogether to-
tai less than 1000 100000 marks (about
S237 600 000) annually
The statement made yesterday by DR..
Alfred Hugenberg. leader of the Ger
man Nationalist party, favoring the re-
duction of the interest rate on Ger
manys private foreign debts to IL per
cent, was made purely as private
opinion and he was not in any way
speaking for the government, a Will
helmstrasSe spokesman said today.
Reichsbank officials also indicated they
in no way approved of DR.. Hugenberg's
proposal.

sort that make you think and think

est gill Of years with big eyes and
sad expression which doubtless comes
from hunger and from constant asso-
citation with misery and illness and

The father is a sick man. He has
tuberculosis. He was young when war
was declared and he proudly marched
with 100000, strong and well. He re-
turned to his home. took up his pre-
war work, then married. His work be-
came difficult for him and the respon-
sibility Of his family with his inadequate
income broke him mentally and phys
ically.
Through the close contact Of the
nurse and a welfare agency. the case
was turned over to the agency for care.
The case worker had the wife and chill
Qren examined Tor signs OF this dreaoed
disease. 1t was learned that one Of the
children was badly affected. Provision
for sending the father and child to q

lieved mentally.
