HEARTACHE.
DuOT EDWARD SCROGGINS, who
is one of the veterans on the
passenger line between Washing

diminution Of stature the other day
Scroggins is q reserved and quiet
sort of man. He had just been
put on passenger service and was in
a brand-new uniform, with highly
polished buttons. He could just feel
that his passengers eyes were on him.
He felt pretty grand.
AS he left the plane at the end OF
the run, however, a quaint little OLD
lady with black silk ruffles and q
bonnet seemed to want to speak to
him. He went over politely. very dig
nified, conscious Of his new uniform.
and bowed to her.
In a high pitched voice that quav-
cred and covered quite a range, sne
said: "Well, motorman, tnat was q
very pleasant ride"
She held out a dollar bill to him.
Scroggins. the pilot. the wen-dressed,
immaculate pilot, walked away with
his uniform hanging loosely on very
Shrunken frame.

one out-o town motorist. This visit
ing gentleman has been driving car
for q score of years, travelling In Can
ada. to the West coast and in the far
South without one mishap or arrest
for traffic violation.
His first encounter was Thomas
Circle, where he circled three times
before he could ascertain just how TO
get on Massachusetts, avenue. Con-
tinuing west on the avenue, by follow
ing car Just ahead Of him he nego-
tiated Scott Circle without difficulty.
But when he reached Dupont Circle,
there was no car ahead of him
and he again entered into game OF
merry 20 round" Five times this
motorist circled Gen. Dupont" and
to make matters worse at the last
round he encountered q street car
coming head-on. In his confusion to
miss the street car he sideswiped an
other motor car, smashing his own
fender.
The mishap with the other car was
the answer to his problem as just how
to get Of the circle. He parked his
car on q nearby street and hired
taxi by the day for the remainder
Of his visit in Washington.

TESTS IN BALLOON
AID
Stratosphere Trial Hops
Show Wisdom of Full
Imitation.

The maximum altitude to be reached
BY the National Geographic Society
Army Air Corps stratosphere balloon
Explorer II In its flight next month
probably will be materially increased
as q result of two test flights which
have Just been made at Scott Field,
Ill, in an experimental 80,000-cubic-
foot balloon.
The small balloon, taken up to
heights of about miles by Capt.
Orvil A. Anderson, who will pilot the
giant 3,100, ,000:cubic- foot balloon, and
Capt. Randolph p. Williams, in charge
of ground operations for the eXpedi-
ton, proved the desirability of en-
tirely filling the huge bag with helium.
Earlier Plan Altered.
II had been planned to fill only
the top part Of the huge bag with
helium, either leaving the lower fab
ric empty or filled with air, which
would be pushed out a. the higher
attitudes by the expanding helium.
The test flights, however, showed that
preliminary admission of air mate
rally reduced the height the balloon
could reach with the use of a given
amount of ballast.
The two test flights also served to
test a new instrument for determin
ing electrical conductivity of the air
knowledge vitality necessary to
proper radio transmission. The new
apparatus. designed by o. H. Gish
of the Department Of Terrestrial Mag
netism of the Carnegie Institution
here, functioned perfectly and showed
that at $4,000 feet the conductivity
Of the air for positive electricity was
"a times as great as at the earth'S
surface and for negative electricity 25
per cent greater than for positive. No
observations of the conductivity of air
In the stratosphere have been made.
Radio Equipment Installed.
Radio equipment which will make
II possible for the two men in the
sealed metal gondola of the Explorer
II to communicate with the earth
while floating more than 13 miles
above sea level has just been in
stalled, the Geographic Society an
nounced. A 40-pound tranSmltter,
with an energy output of only watts,
will make possible short-wave broad
casts which can be received directly
more than 1000 miles away. During
the flight broadcasts will be picked up
from the balloon and rebroadcast over
o Nationwide network of the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co. so that the
flight may be followed by millions of
radio listeners.
A tiny short-wave receiver also will
be carried 1t is a single-controlled
superheterodyne outfit weighing only
IS pounds. but is nearly 10 times
more sensitive than the dual-control
set used in the 1884 fight. The bal
loon also will carry two ultra-high-
frequency sets which will send out
continuous waves for test purposes
One will send on frequency of Sc, 900
kilocycles, the other on $4,000 kilo-
cycles. These two transmitters will
be self-contained and will be suspend
ed about 100 feet below the gondola.

ARREST TRACTOR DRIVERS
For Driving on Improved Roads
Without Protected Wheels

The arrest of two Delaware oper-
ators of tractors for driving on
macadamized roads with tractors,
equipped with unprotected lug
wheels, was made necessary by the
damage that has been done recent
ly by such tearing up of bitumin-
GUS treated highways and has
caused w. w. Mack, chief engineer
of the Highway Department to ask
for closer cooperation for the trac-
tor operators. Mr.. Mack said the
harm that such machines may
cause may necessitate retreatment
of a considerable distance on the
road. Practically all tractors can
be equipped with bands or other de-
vices so that tractors can be used
on roadways without damage. it
was pointed out. In crossing roads
from one field to another, Mr.. Mack
advises that the machine be run on
planks running from each should
er to avoid chipping the edge of
the paving, and perhaps damaging
the entire width of the road.

tion is fixed. The funds for the
bridge reconstruction program are
furnished under the Emergency
Relief Appropriation Act. The
work to be done includes: Recon
struction of the superstructure of
the side span trusses for both the
Reedy Point and st. Georges verti-
cal lift bridges; removal of the ex-
isting abutments and construction
of new abutments at the Reedy
Point and st. Georges bridges; the
Strengthening of both main piers
for the st. Georges bridge and the
north pier of the Summit bridge,
and removal of necessary existing
roadway paving and fill, paving of
iroadways and sidewalks and all
other appurnenant work necessary
to place the bridges in complete
Operation. When finished each
bridge will have a span of 200 feet
instead of 90 fet as at present.
The work is to be done without in
terruption to traffic in either the
canal or on the highways, the
specifications say, and is to start
within 20 days after receipt of no
tice by the contractor. The con-
tractor will employ two or three
hundred skilled workers.

gan a series of programs dealing
with the various service commit
tees of the club. The first of these
programs presented by w. E. Mat
thews, Jr., chairman of the Voca-
tional Service Committee. Mr.
Matthews pointed out the many
ways a Rotarian could be of ser
vice to his club and to the public.
Each member owes his member
ship in Rotary to these services
and to render Vocational service is
only an active expression of SER
vice. The ideals of service should
control the business or profession
of which each Rotarian is a part.
In conclusion he urged each Rotar-
ian to practice the ethics of Ro-
tary in his business. The club be-
gins the attendance contest with
the Middletown club on November

three months. Make your attend
ance 100 per cent in this contest.

KENT FARMERS
SUPPORT "AAA"
Corn-HOg Program Gets Wide
Majority Throughout the
State of Delaware
DECEPTION - HASTINGS

Kent farmers joined with Della
ware farmers and voted sweeping
in Saturdays referendum
for a four-year continuation of the
AAA corn-hog program. Returns
from outlying districts in Kent and
Sussex counties were not in, but
large majority voted was self-evi-
dent. Corn-hog producers in New
Castle county balloted 125 in favor
to one opposed, County Agent Will
Inn said. Twenty-seven contract
signers of 1885 in the northern dis
trict unanimously approved con-
tinuation, and among the 81 con-
tract signers in the southern dis
trict only one negative vote was
cast. Non-contract signers in both
northern and southern districts
unanimously favored future corn
hog control. United States Sena-
tor Hastings, chairman of the Re
publican senatorial campaign COM
mlttee, issued a statement from his
office, charging "there is nothing
more deceptive than this pretense
OF having farmers vote to continue
the AAA program. The newspap-
ers carries stories for several days
that the Agricultural Department
IS much concerned about the out
come of the vote ON the corn hog
control" Senator Hastings said.
rhis, of course, was pure camo-
hague. Anybody with a grain of
sense knew there would be but few
votes against It, There was no
point in voting against it because
II did not compel any farmer to
sign a contract. There is nothing
more deceptive than this pretense
Oh having farmers vote to continue
the AAA program To take a vote
Is perfectly silly and the mere rou-
Tine of the vote Is to make it ap-
pear the thing itself is popular"
