.15-M|LE ASCENSION
INTO SKY PLANNED
Settle and Fordney Study
Penetration of Ozone
Layer in Flight.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A new balloon flight into the upper
reaches of the atmosphere, possibly to
the unprecedented height of Is miles,
Is being considered by Maj Chester l..
Fordney of the Marine Corps and Lieut..
Comdr. T. G. w. Settle of the Navy.
The two recently established an ofh-
cial world record, reaching 61,237 feet
in a balloon which landed finally IN a
New JERSEY marsh. A higher record has
been claimed by Soviet flyers, but their
instrument readings were not submitted
to the International Aeronautic Fed
Grafton, and the Settle-Fordney altl-
tude stands as the peak attained by
man.
See Is Miles Possible.
Mai Fordney has already been asked
by prospective sponsors of a new strato-
sphere flight to outline his views on the
value of attempting to reach still higher
attitudes with a larger balloon.
In Hleir first flight Settle and Ford
nev had a balloon Of 100000 cubic fee'
capacity. They believe that Is miles
could be reached with bag OF 1,5OO,-
600 cubic feet.
The Marine officer now Is DISCUSSING
the possibility of a new stratosphert
venture with DR.. Arthur H. Compton
Of the University of Chicago, scientific
director of the last flight.
Before leaving for Chicago Fordnel
said one of the most important aim
would be penetration of the so-callee
ozone layer.
Explains Scientific Value.
This layer, once computed to be 81
miles above the earth, had been placed
somewhat lower by more recent calcu
lations Fordney believes a 15-mile
flight might pierce it and provide OBJ
servations of vast benefit IN future
weather forecasting.
Explaining the matter from a scien'
tific viewpoint, Fordney said:
There is a correlation between tn
ultra violet end of the suns spectrum
and barometric pressure, which is nov
used almost entirely in forecastini
weather. If We can learn more abou
the ozone layer and its effect in filter
ing these rays, we may have valuabl
Information to assist in future weathe
forecasting.'

Legion Post and Civil Service
Reinstatement League
to Meet Tonight.

The Government economy program
will come under fire at two meetings
tonight, one sponsored by the Civil
Service Reinstatement League, at Thom-
son School, and the other by Victory
Post, American Legion, at Central High
School. Both start at o'clock.

invited a numb0 of union groups and
veterans organizations to participate
in its deliberations, has as the primary
aim of its conference legislation to OBJ
tain jobs for civil service workers cut
off the Government pay roll in the
various retrenchment moves. 1t is con-
tended that President Fo0Sevelt's verbal
orders that these get preference In en-
ployment in the new agencies is being
ignored and it is hoped to bring
pressure to bear through Congress to
aid them. Another session will be held
tomorrow night.
The Legion meeting will be for the
purpose of presenting citations to 16
Senators and 19 Representatives who

SUNDAY DINNER
SUGGESTIONS
BY ANN PAGE

THE vacation season for house
i wives begins when they decide TO
make things as easy as possible for
themselves by taking advantage Of
what the market affords in fruits,
salad greens, vegetables, ready-to-eat
meats, and packaged foods. Fruits and
simple puddings can replace pies,
cakes and elaborate desserts most of
the time. Cold meats and salads fol-
low well after hot canned soup.
and canned beans or spaghetti help
out the luncheon or supper menu.
When it is necessary to cook, choose
a relatively cool day and cook foods
which can be served cold second or
third day. Cheese with fruit or
vegetable salad and bread or rolls
makes a simple and well-balanced
meal with little trouble.
The Quaker Maid suggests the tol-
lowing menus:
Low Cost Dinner
Cold Veal Loaf Vegetable Salad
Sliced Tomatoes
Bread and Butter
Fruit Compete Cookies
Tea or COuee MILK
