World Hungers for Peace
 General Eua's Tour ShOUs

LONDON, July 12.-General Evan geline Booth, commander of the Salvation Army, noted "a great hunger for God and peace" in the world tour she has just completed.
 T have too much faith in men to believe that another war can break out she said.
 Asked about the Sino-Japanese question, General Booth said she had talked to the emperor of Ja- pan once, and found him very un- derstanding.
 Will Talk of Peace
 Maybe I'll go to Japan and talk to him again" she added, "and if I do, I'll sure talk to him about peace"
 On her tour, which embraced In- dia, Ceylon, Australia, New Zealand, South Sea islands. Hawaii and Am erica, the general made hundred speeches to 100000 people in 34 days. Her record was eight meetings addressed in one day.
 Inspected Army's Work
 She saw for herself the army's work among the criminal tribes of India, the lepers in India, Java and Hawaii, the destitute children and aborigines in Australia and the in- ebriates' island in New Zealand.
 She found that Dr. William H. Noble, director of the army's Trav- ancore Cndia) hospital and physi- clan to the maharajah of Travan- core, was the Cornell boy she con verted' to the army at one of her meetings years ago.

It's Against the Lav to Pet
 Fish in Iotoa!

DAVENPORT, Ia, July 12-Ev- eryone has heard about the fellow who catches fish with his bare hands Well, here's how it's done.
 The best way, says Otto Klinge, deputy game warden, is to take a point of vantage along slow nov ing stream at night. Then when the fish aren't looking thrush a hand under water and feel around until a fish is encountered.
 The next step is to stroke the fish, that is pat it. on one side un- til it turns over. Then, the fish erman can slip his fingers through the gills and pull it in.
 Klinge swears by the efficiency of the method. but he warns Iowa disciples of Izaak Walton not to try it.

STRATOSPHERE
 FLIGHT IS OFF
 FROM ACCIDENT
Giant Balloon Collapses as Bag Bursts, Helium
 Gas Escapes

RAPID CITY, South Dakota, July l2.-Disaster overlook the National Geographic United States Army Air Corps stratosphere flight when the balloon, giant bag, collapsed from an unexplained cause just one hour before the scheduled take-off this morning, set at o'clock.
 None were injured.
 Five men were working prepara- tory to flashing the metal ball to the balloon and were forced to jump to safety. The guards also scattered to avoid injury.
 Without Warning
 The giant bag burst without any warning, permitting 375,000 cubic feet of helium to escape and defi- nitely halting the flight.
 Capt. Albert w. Stevens said there is absolutely no explana- tion."
 The helium, a colorless gas, rush. ed out and a blue haze appeared.
 Cause of Haze
 National Geographic officials said the haze was caused by talcum powder inside the balloon which was used to prevent friction in fold ing the giant bag. This could not have caused the accident, they said The bag was inflated to only about one eighth capacity to allow for expansion when the suns heat would strike it.
 The expedition cost $175,000.
 Whether another attempt will be made is hot known yet.
