Conquer Storms

Through the hot tropics, where
storms on the sea are frequent
and varied, weather conditions for
the transpacific service are
obviously unpredictable. It has
been learned, however, that on
the section Of the route from
California to the Midway Islands,
conditions may be expected to be
generally good, and that high
altitude flying would make for
the best travel.
From the Midway group on to
the Orient, conditions are almost
the same as those in the Carib-
bean, where hurricanes and similar
storms present serious difficulties.
In addition, there is now on
foot colonization expedition to
three little islands on the south
west route to Australia, where it
is intimated data would be gath
cred which would be available to
air lines if they want it. DR..
Francis D. Conan, a psychiatrist
Of Johns Hopkins University in
Baltimore and medical director Of
Admiral Richard Byrd'S Ant
arctic expedition, is the head Of
this South Pacific oceanography
expedition.
Travelling in the Kinkajou,
their expedition yacht, DR.. Co
man and his group of colonizers
are establishing scientific groups
in the small American islands
known as Rowland, Baker and
Jarvis. If the other islands in
the Pacific are suitable for land
ing bases, imagine what a mat
ural" Baker Island is. The little
island, which is only two miles
long, is flat and hard. It would
be simple to land a plane on this
little haven in the middle Of the
Pacific-if you can find it! OF
course, if It were necessary to
land the plane in the ocean sur
rounding the island, there might
be some difficulty with sharks,
but even sharks can be con.
quered.
Although without water for
human consumption, the island
has sufficient water to support
large areas of very colorful
foliage.
Like other tropic isles the breeze
there is negligible. There's a
breeze, all right, but it doesn't
average more than seven miles an
hour, which, as breezes go, isn't
much.

Nor is it merely a "consumma-
ton devoutly to be wished" A
few years ago, there were polite
smiles for Amelia Earhart's pre-
. diction that the near future
would witness transpacific pas
senger flights. There were even
indulgent grimaceS for the sug-
geStion that Uncle Sam would
like to fly the mails across the
Pacific.
But the scoffers are diminish
ing in number.
Amelia Earhart has made q
solo flight from Honolulu to San
Francisco, the longest single Jump
over the once impossible Pacific.
Pan American AirwayS has sent
clipper ships out into the middle
Of the ocean. Uncle Sam has
advertised for bids for a trans

TOP RUNG BY
HARD HITTING
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press staff Corresponds

NEW YORK, June IA U.P)-Good
pitching carried the New York
Yankees to the top Of the American
league but hard hitting is keeping
them there.
The Yanks went west with only
one 800 hitter in the lineup-Ben
Chapman with .304- but in five
games in st. Louis they have ham
mered out ga hits and scored Al
runs. New York's team batting
average for the st. Louis series is
.32O, 81 points more than a week
ago.
The Yanks held their 21a game
lead over the Chicago White Sex
by buffeting the Browns for an 8-3
triumph. Scoring nine runs in the
fifth, the White SoX won their third
straight from Washington, 1916.
Tommy Bridges became the first
major league pitcher to win 10
games when he pitched Detroit TO
a 6-1 victory over the Boston Red
Sox.
Cleveland broke a four-game los
ing slump by defeating the Phila-
delphia Athletics, 6-3.
The New York Giants added q
game and a half to their National
league lead by trimming Cincinnati

Van Mungo outpitched Cy Blan-
ton as Brooklyn beat Pittsburgh

Danny MacFayden, making his
first start for the Boston Braves,

Christian Science

The Lord giVeth wisdom: He
keepeth the paths OF Judgment,
and preseryeth the way of his
saints" These promises from the
Proverbs are the golden text in the
lesson n-sermon on God the Pre-
server of Man" on Sunday in all
branches Of The Mother Church,
The First Church of Christ, Scien-
tist, in Boston, Mass.
Among the Bible selections in the
lesson sermon are these words Of
Jesus from the Gospel of Matthew:
For every one that asketh receiv-
eth: and ne that seeketh findeth;
and to him that knocketh it shall
be opened. But when ye pray, use
not vain repetitions, as the heather
do for they think that they shall
be heard for their much speaking
Be not We therefore like unto them:
for your Father knoweth what
things ye have need Of, before ye
ask him
A passage from Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures -
by Mary Baker Eddy, states God
is Love. Can we ask him to be
more? God is intelligence Can We
inform the infinite Mind OF any
thing He does not already compre-
bend? Do we expect to change per-
fiction? Shall we plead for more
at the open fount, which IS pour
inc forth more than we accept?"

VALLEY FLAX
CROP PRAISED
BY MILL MAN

A c. Aitken of the FL Dorado Oil
Mills, San Francisco, who has been
in the valley for several days look
ing over flax crops and thrashing
problems so as to assist the flax
growers in the San Joaquin and
Sacramento valleys where there are
some $4,000 acres of flax which will
be ready to thresh in about three
weeks, says that the flax crops there
are not quite equal to those in I'm
perial.
Moreover there is a bad weed
condition in the northern area due
to the excessive and late rains.
Aitken says that so far it appears
that flax will grow equally we'll al
most anywhere in California and
that heavy winter rains and frosts
did not damage the crop in the
north. Some flax there was subject
to as much as SO inches of rain and
temperatures as low as %.
He further states that there will
be a good chance for persons here
who have good and proven flax
threshing outfits to go north in July
and August and work for some go
days as there are few outfits there.
He will be glad to put them in
touch with northern growers who
might need their services.
Aitken recently went to Wash
ington at the request of the Cali
fo1-,1ia fIay c1.OUprs and pl1IShprC
and with credentials from Governor
Merriam and the University of Cali
fornia, to oppose the several bills
which would be harmful to the
progressing California flax program.
He believes that he effectually sue
ceedeG in stopping that legislatiop
with the result that flax develop.
