MAYOR MALONE
PERFORMS GREAT
FEAT ON LINKS
STRIKES GOLF BALL GOOD
AND SQUARE AND con-
Meets WITH BIRD WHICH
TOPPLES TO GROUND

Killing two birds with one
stone cannot be done. it is stated.
Neither can a golf player drive
from the tee and kill a bird with
the ball he drove. But this latter
thing, that cannot be done, was
done yesterday on the Key West
course.
Many Hbelieve it or not" items
have been written that tax the
mind to believe. Some of them APP
pear outside the bounds of posi-
bility, and seem hard to believe
even when proven.
However, be that as it may,
Mayor William II. Malone, driving
yesterday afternoon at the eighth
hole, from which he never before
made a successful drive, struck the
ball fairly and squarely.
1t started on its flight, and when
about 100 feet from the tee bird
known as a hell diver. crossed the
line of flight of the ball and was
struck in mid-air.
The ball stopped. The bird
stopped and both fell to the
ground. Mr.. Malone picked UP
the bird and took it to the caddy
house, where it is being kept as an
evidence of the remarkable Incl
dent.

RUSSIANS PLAN
STRATOSPHERIC
ATTEMPT soon
SPECIALLY BUILT BALLOON
DESIGNED FOR ASCENT OF
FROM SIX TO THIRTEEN
MILES

LENINGRAD, Aug. 24.-Soviet
ayiatiCnss first venture into the
stratosphere lis scheduled to be
made within the next few weeks
in a specially constructed balloon
designed for an ascent Of from
six to Is miles.
Three possibly fout-of the
country's leading aerologfstsi in
tend to set out on, a voyage into
the upper reaches of the atrhos-
phere before the summer ends on
what is contemplated as the first
of a series of such flights for
scientific observation.
To Study Cosmic Rays
Their primary purpose is to
study the cosmic rays, electro
magnetic phenomena and the
physiological influence of great
heights on human beings. But
they also hope to better the record
of Prof. Auguste Picard. who
on his second ascension reached a
height. of more than $4,000 feet.
The first test flight Of the bal
loon, constructed in the Air In
stitute's factories here along the
general lines Of Piccard's craft,
was pronounced satisfactory by
the constructor, NJ. Vasenko and
B. Fedoseinko. the chief pilot. al
though it was allowed to climb
only 300 meters during its al
most Ia hours in the air. 1t was
brought down safely some 80 miles
from Leningrad, its starting point.
Molehanov Likely Commander
Both vansenko and Fedoseienko
probably will make the first flight.
Prof. ID. Molchanov, director of
the institute and organizer Of the
ascension, likely will be in COM
mand. Whether the flight will be
started from Leningrad or from
Moscow viii depend on weather
conditions.
The balloon, designed by En-
gineer /. Chertovsky, was more
than a year In construction and
only soviet materials and equip
ment were used. The envelope
is made Of special rubbeYized
fabric to which a paint compound
has been applied to make it inn

EMERGENCY MILK ACT
UPHELD IN new YORK
Court Of Appeals Affirms Roches-
ter Tribunal in Decision
Against Grocer.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
ALBANY, N Y, July 1.-THE con-
stitutionality Of New York States emer-
gency milk control law was upheld to-
day by the Court Of Appeals. the States
highest tribunal
The high court affirmed the judy
ment of a Rochester court which fined
Leo Nebbia. a Rochester grocer, for V1o-
lating the minimum price orders issued
by the Emergency Milk Control Board.
Nebbia was convicted Of giving away
free loaf of bread with each bottle OF
milk. contrary to the emergency price
regulations imposed upon the industry
by the State.
Nebbia's appeal was regarded as the
first test Of the constitutionallty OF the
milk law. He contended that his con-
stitutional rights to do business were
violated.
The milk board urged in defense Of
its regulations and of the milk law that
some constitutional restrictions are
automatically lifted in times of emer-
gency.
The courts opinion, written by Chief
Judge Cuthbert w. Pound. declared
that tine policy Of non-interference
with individual freedom must at times
give way to the policy OF compulslon
for the general welfare
The court declared that the power to
regulate private business can be invoked
only under special circumstances.
1T may be invoked when the Legisla-
ture is dealing with paramount in
dustry upon which the prosperity Of
the entire State in large measure de-
pends," the court held.

SOCIETY LEADER
WINS TAX DISPUTE
Mrs. Laura M. Curtis Establishes
Contention in Deducting
Racing Losses.

Mrs. Laura NJ Curtis, Washington
and New York society leader, has won
qualified victory before the United
States Board Of Tax Appeals in a dis
pute over income tax involving her ex-
periences in horse racing
Mrs. Curtiss succeeded in establishing
that her activities in connection with
raising and racing horses was "a bust
ness" and therefore the money she lost,
a net Of more than SIS 900. could be de-
Quoted from her gross income in COM
putting income tax. The board thus
overturned a decision of the commits
sioner Of internal revenue that Mrs.
Curtis could not deduct her racing
losses
The commissioner had disallowed ex-
penses totaling $6.90878 as a deduc-
ton from gross income and held Mrs.
Curtis owed the Government tax
OF 1868 Although the Board Of Tax
Appeals ruled that her racing opera
tons were a business, it qualified the
society leaders victory by stating that
Mrs. Curtis understated her income
from her racing business by $1,000. In
computing her tax return for 1928. she
had deducted only $1,000 as receipts
from purses obtained from races.
This $1,000 said the decision, "is
the amount alleged to have been de-
Quoted from expenses in the petition,
but in her testimony at the hearing
she admitted they were as much as
$4,000 This results in an overstate-
ment of deductions Of 81 900 on the re-
turn"
In computing the revised income tax
returns therefore, the income tax of
Mrs Curtis for 1928 will simply be in
creased by a net amount Of 81 900 upon
which she must pay taxes
She gave up the racing business In
1929 and gave away the colts.
