FORD RPORT, Dearborn.
Mich, Oct. 23.-Prof. Jean Picard
and his wife, Jeanette, took off at
6:57 a. m. EST, today for the strato-
sphere and study of the myster-
Gus cosmic rays.
The balloon arose swiftly, drift
ing toward the east.
Field attendants spent half an
hour before the takeoff equalizing
the huge bag. Small ropes then were
cast off.
Picard himself dispatched the
balloon by discharging dynamite
caps in the four heavy cable ropes
which held 1t down.
AS the 175foot balloon started up.
Edward j. Hill, Detroit balloonist in
charge of the ground crew, shouted
Goodbye and good luck, Jean and
Jeanettel"
Mrs. Picard, only woman to hold
a balloon pilots license, waved at
him.
Then the two Picard children,
Paul, 10, and Donald, g.. shouted
Goodbye momiiy and pappa.'
Their mother again waved.
Despite throwing out of ballast,
the balloon settled toward earth. A
dozen attendants rushed over, stop
ped the fall and started it upward
again.
The huge gray bag drifted up
with the wind, missed 15-foot post
at the eastern end of the field by
comfortable margin, then shot al
most straight up.
1t was cut of sght within eight
minutes, hidden behind heavy
clouds

MELBOURNE, Australia, Oct. "a.
wednesday, U.P) - Two veteran
British aviators slept today like men
half dead after the greatest airplane
speed race victory ever won, while
two trailing planes, Dutch and Am
erican, followed them across the
Australian continent.
The victorious De Haviland Co
met of C. w. A. Scott and T. Camp
bell Black, the American built
Dutch Flying Hotel" and the Am
erican Boeing transport of Col.
Roscoe Turner and Clyde Pangborn,
all had shattered by days the Eng
land Australia flight record.
The Dutch plane-an American
Douglas air liner--left Charleville,
last compulsory halt, 787 miles
from Melbourne, at TAO p. m. yes
terday Melbourne time. (4:40 q. m.
today EST
At Sal p. m. Melbourne time
t3:41 a. IN. EST Turner and Pang-
born left Darwin, 1889 miles from
Charleville and 2,l76 miles from
Melbourne.
Scattered back of the leaders in
the England. Melbourne race from
the Dutch east Indies to continent
al Europe were IL other planes, still
struggling to complete the 1l,300-
mile air line course.
Black with CRIME, staggering with
fatigue, Scott and Black climbed
from their bullet-like Comet plane
at 3:34:48 p. m. yesterday Q2:34 a.
m. today ESTD, winners of first
place of $4,000 and $4,000 geld cup
in the speed section Of the Milden-
hall Melbourne race.
They had made a weekend trip
of flight halfway around the
world with an official elapsed time
of II hours 18 seconds-59 minutes
and a.. seconds short OF three days
since they left Mildenhall at 6:34-
30 a. m. Greenwich Mean Time a.
34:30 a. m. EST Saturday.
The big Dutch entry manned by
K. D. Parmentier, J. J. Moll and
C. Van Brugge, with three pas
sengers including Thea Rasch,
German girl flyer, had a chance
for the $4,000 second prize in speed,
the first prize in the handicap
section, or the second handicap
prize of $4,000
Turner and Pangborn entered
only in the speed section, were
eligible for second or third prize,
the latter of $4,000
The broad shouldered, clean shaw
en-, 31-year-old Scott, and hand
some, keen looking, dark mustached
Tom Campbell Black, 80, who has
flown between England and Africa
13 times, made aviation history.
At almost every halt they were
near disaster. They lost their way
at Allahabad. Trying to land their
high-speed plane at Singapore they
bounced il 30 feet and almost over
turned.
Over the Bay of Bengal they
met the steady monsoon rains and
had to fly only few feet above
the water. Then over the Timor
Sea, 300 miles from Darwin up at
the top of Australia, one of the
motors went dead and they put on
their life belts. They never ex-
pected to reach land, but fought
on.
The bad motor never worked
we'll again, and hardly worked at
all.
All the way from the Timor Sea
they were pickering between them
selves.
Charleville, 787 miles from Mel
bourne, was their last stop, From
there on their bad motor did not
work.

By United Press
MARSHALL, Ill, June 4.-Hubert
Moor, Robinson high school teacher,
today was found guilty for the Sec
ond time on charge of Staying his
wife, the daughter of an Indianap-
oils minister, and was sentenced to
life imprisonment by circuit court
jury.
The jury, celebrating since
Saturday afternoon, returned the
verdict shortly after 9 a. m. today.
A mistrial narrowly was averted
when Henry Greenwell, a juror, be-.
came violently ill., After the verdict.
was announced, Mr.. Greenwich was
rushed to a physicians office in a
serious condition.
Moor, who was granted a new trial
by the state supreme court while he
awaited execution, took the verdict
calmly. He had pleaded insanity.
The state showed that three days.
before Moor's wife was killed. the
Robinson teacher had passed an ex--
animation with high honors at the
University of Illinois.
The school teachers confession,
made after a week of questioning
when his wife was killed, was ins
PRODUCED into the court record. At
that time Moor said he killed his
wife because she left dirty dishes in
the sink ~.

Seven Semester Members Have
Chance for Free Term.

Members of the Butler university
band who have played in the or

semesterS will henceforth be granted
free tuition during their eighth and
last semester in the university, ac-
cording to recent action of the But
Ter board of trustees.
j. B. Vandaworker, director, in an
nouncing the new plan, said certain
requirements must be met by candi--
dates for the free tuition in addition
to mere membership in the organi-
cation for seven Semesters.
An academic average of B. or
better, no overcuts, performance to
the satisfaction of the director, and
appearance in full uniform at all
public performances are the require
mentS which must be satisfied, ac-
cording to Mr.. Vandaworker.

pursuits at 256 to 26O miles per
hour, attacks at POT miles per hour,
and bombers at more than 200 miles
per hour-provide a yardStick for
evaluating the efficiency of the 1,199
planes of the air corps.
In an adjoining column are pub
lished three tables listing the vari-
Gus speed classifcations of the
three types of fighting planes.
These tables show
BomberS are available at 207
miles an hour, but only eleven of
the corps 101 bomberS had a speed
in excess of 100 miles an hour
Pursuits are available at 256 to
260 miles an hour, but only eighty
four of the corps 251 pursuits had
a speed in excess of 100 miles an
hour.
Attacks are available at 207 miles
an hour, but only f1fty-one of the
corps ninety-three attacks have a
speed in excess of 100 miles an
hour.
These figures do not include the
single models, of which there are
only twenty-three in the three
groups.
Only 146 Up to Date
Thus there are only 146 fight
ing planes at all comparable to
those now being built.
Observation planes, used for liai-
son with the artillery or for gen.
eral scouting purposes, have a mil
itary value, of course, but they are
not the type of planes to be used to
defeat an enemy attacking air force.
The corps had 276 observations.
Excluding fourteen amphibians,
which generally do not have high
speed because they must carry gear
for alighting both on land and wa
ter, and fourteen more of single
models, the record shows that only
six planes in this class had a speed
in excess of 100 miles an hour.
Performance Increases Swiftly
Aircraft performance has in
creased Swifter throughout the
world in the last three years than at
any time since the first plane was
flown, and it was during this period
that the United States army air
corps more or less marked time. The
result is that it is not only de-
flcient in strength, but sharply de-
flcient in swift, hard-hitting fighting
planes.
The question of what the de-
preston and enforced economy did
to the air corps, and how much of
the blame for the present situa-
ton is due ia lack of funds, will be
discussed tomorrow.
