AVIATRIX APPARENTLY
 HAS CONQUERED ATLANTIC

NEW YORK, Sept. 5. = Mrs. Markham apparently has conquer ed the Atlantic Ocean, but aviation experts feared she will run out of gas before reaching here since the engines fuel consumption is esti- mated at 10 Imperial gallons per hour and only about 70 gallons could have remained in the tanks when sighted at Renews 19 hours and 55 minutes after the takeoff from Abingdon, England. The amount of gas left on board is be- lieved only sufficient to carry her as far as Portland, Maine, but hardly any greater distance.
 A Coast Guard seaplane has hopped off from Salem, Massachu- setts, to serve as guide down the Eastern shore.

to Daniel Dennis Davis, So, who
was suffering from a paralytic

y Davis was locked up pending a
checkup on the story with Savan-

He said he'd been acting as a
nurse to his aged father for whom
doctors prescribed "a certain
amount Of Strychnine. Unable to
bear the sight of the suffering, the
youth said he doubled the doses,
causing death within a week.

FOR PWA
international News Service

International News Service
A House bloc organized a drive
today to earmark $700,000,000 Of
the proposed $500, 100000 relief
fund for PWA projects.
Although but a dozen House
members attended the caucus
called by Representative Better
CD Of New York he asserted that
many House members backed the
move. Many supporters, he said,
were absent because Of the Easter
holiday.
Complaints that Secretary OF
the Interior Ickes, as PWA admin
istrator, had been ignored by the
House Appropriations Deficiency
subcommittee considering the re-
lief program, were made at the
meeting.
Ickes Aids Bloc
Ickes is cooperating with the
"PWA bloc" in it's efforts to take
control of seven hundred million
dollars of the relief fund from
WPA Administrator Harry L. Hop
kins. Better said that new figures
submitted by the Interior Depart
ment showed the cost per man
per year of PWA projects as $741,
while the cost on WPA is between
5000 and $500.
The steering committee will be
bipartisan. Better said after petit
tons are circulated in the House,
a committee will be selected to
appeal to President Roosevelt in
behalf of PWA.

Gain in Health and
Stop Getting Up Nights

When kidneys are clogged they be-
come weak-the bladder is irritated-
often passage is scanty and srnarts and
burns-sleep is restless and nightly
visits to the bathroom are frequent.
The right safe harmless and inexpen-
sive way to stop this trouble and re-
store healthy action to kidneys and
bladder is to get from any druggist a
35-cent box Of Gold Medal Haarlem
Oil Capsules and take as directed-you
won't be disappointed.
But be sure and get GOLD MEDAL

At Stadium
Tonight

Washington's greatest wrestling
treat awaits local mat enthusiasts
tonight when the Dusek Riot
Squad, four strong, invades Grit
fifth Stadium.
Breaking all box office records
wherever they have appeared and
setting new high for Snowman
ship and action, these rough and
tumble artists are matched with
outstanding opponents in every in
stance.
Probably the most eagerly
awaited match of the night is the
finish feature bringing back Rudy
Dusek, long a favorite here
against Joe Cox.
Cox, this past winter, boaSted
he would whip the Duseks in rota,
tion if given the chance and thus
far has won over Ernie, Emil and
Joe, leaving only Rudy to be reck'
oned with.
Rudy will be making his first
appearance here in 18 months,

with George zaharias here in 1881
Side-tracking him for months.
In another match routed to a
finish wild George Koverly, Mid.
western madcap and one Of the
most aggressive wrestlers in the
business, ties up with Ernie DuSek,
one of the most furnishing.
The Ernie-Koverly match prom

latest June thrill when she sue
cessfully defended her District
women's crown against Edith
Clarke, who had been seeded over
her though Mary was the cham
pion.
The three regrets are the de-
parture of Yelverton Garnett for
the West for the summer, the
shifting Of Tom Frydell, popular
Columbia and Edgemoor clubs
tennis pro, to a New England re-
sort until September and the per
manent change of residence Of
genial Joe Rutley, Middle Allan
tbs Association official, from
Washington to Richmond.
Fans felt keen disappointment
when Garnett found himself un-
able to continue contributing
thrills to the gallery which had
grown fond of him. He was the
one local racqueter who really
threatened Berney Welsh'S reign
locally.
Strikes Players
Frydell's departure strikes the
players themselves, for Tom was
tennis doctor who could point
out the faults in a players game
and prescribe a remedy that was
effective in jig time.
A few quiet words and a dem
onstration or two by "Dr. Tom"
and many an ailing back hand
or miSbehaving foot would work
properly and create an upset or
at least a better match.
Just to prove how popular and
invaluable Frydell's advice is to
some players, several of them have
altered their vacation plans to be
near him this summer.
Tom Is at the Oyster Bay Club,
Cape Cod, Mass. Harry Hewlett
succeeds him at columbia.
The loss of Rutley is a harder
blow than appears on the surface.
Joe has been a tireless worker
in uplifting the game locally and
no mean "shucks" as a pro-
moter. Many a District tourna-
ment has been lifted out Of the
doldrums by Joe and his old
side-kick, Bob Newly.
Latest Vital Service
His latest vital service to local
tennis was his insistence that
the City Of Washington tourna-
