 Bishops Letter
 The bishops letter on safety fol lows:
 September 5, 1884. Dear Father:
 The present month is being observed throughout the nation as Safety Month" Its purpose is to impress upon people the necessity of using every pos sible precaution to safeguard human life and to prevent ac- cidents.
 The loss of life in this coun- try as a result of accidents, particularly automobile acci- dents, is appalling. The num- Der of victims has averaged be- tween twenty-five and thirty thousand annually during the past few years. Almost a mill lion others have been maimed each year, thousands of them permanently.
 Life is a gift of God and should not be exposed need- lessly to destruction. Its sa- credness is manifest from the divine mandate which declares Thou shalt not kill" No means should be neglected for the protection of human life and limb. The exercise of prop < CT care no doubt would lessen materially the number of fatal accidents.
 Kindly speak on the subject of Safety Month" at all the masses on next Sunday or the following Sunday, urging oper- ators of automobiles to drive carefully and counselling pe- destrians to be cautious in tarversing the highways.
 Yours sincerely,
 MAURICE F. McAULIFFE,
 Bishop of Hartford.

BALLOON CREW IS ASKING CHANCE
 TO GO UP AGAIN
Still Hopeful Something of Value May Be Saved
 Out of Wreck

Kearney. Neb, July 3O-(UP)- Stlll hopeful they may have added to sciences archives and undaunt- ed by failure to establish new record for height, the crew of the wrecked stratosphere balloon Ex- plorer to-day 2 sought 2 another chance. the sooner the better.
 Believed intact was a specto- graph. cast off from the gondola of the balloon on small para chute during the downward plunge of the great bag. All others of the ton of valuable instruments car ried in the gondola were ruined.
 The crew-Mai William A. Rep ner, pilot: Capt Albert w. Stey ems, observer, and Capt Orviue A. An derson, co-pilot-hoped one. and possibly two, other instruments, salvaged from the wreck of the gondola might reveal some record of their ascension.
 The crew spent last night here, 35 miles from wheIe the balloon crashed. Majority of their salvageo National Guardsmen
 Main thought of the trio was whether another flight would be sponsored soon.
 They agreed it would be several days-perhaps weeks-before re- suits of their flight could be deter. mined by examination of what in. struments survived the 'unsched- uled drop from 60,000 feet,
 One thing was certain-they all were grateful to the 'chutes which functioned perfectly when they jumped at heights from 1000 feet to 500 feet.
 All sought today to solve the question of why. rips appeared in the lower fabric Of the tslloon at 60,000 feet.
 The gondola of the balloon was a mass of twisted materials, and the huge bag was torn when Il descended virtually out of control late last Saturday near Hpldredge, Neb.
 After a perfect takeoff from Moonlight Valley, II miles from Rapid City, S. D.. early Saturday. the balloonists immediately en- countered difficulties for the first few hours, they gained compar- atively little height
 Late in the afternoon came a terse message that at 60,000 feet the lower fabric of the balloon had ripped: they were being forced to come down as best they might.
 They began to fall at high rate of speed. all the while doing what they could to safeguard their in- struments.
 Several they managed to toss out of the gondola, attached to para chutes. Others they fastened se- curely inside the gondola hoping they would survive the crash
 Then they leaped for their lives, trusting to parachutes. Captain Anderson was first, then Captain Stevens and last Major kepner.
