For example, if cigarettes have

Officers of the society indicat-

it doubtful whether another would
be held this year. Heavy insur-
ance was carried on the balloon,
it was disclosed today.
American companies insured
the bag until it fioated into the
skies, when Lloyd's of London as
sumed the risk. Since the balloon
ripped in mid-air, it was assumed
here that the London company
would stand the financial loss:

said the wreckage of the balloon
and the gondola would be sent
