TWO PLANES AREI ON TEST FLIGHT
One Left From New York Other Started Out of
 Bermuda Today
BY H.R. EKINs

Limited Press Stan C0FrespOndentD
 Port Washington, N. Y. May 25- The Bermuda clipper, four-motor- ed Sikorsky aHnphibian, took of for Bermuda at 0:37 a. m. (edt) today on a test flight preliminary to es- tablishing regularly scheduled trars- Atlantic and New York to Bermu- da service. The Pan American ship, commanded by Capt. Harold Gray, was expected to complete the 773 mile flight to Hamilton habor, Ber- muda, in about six hours. At 9:56 a. m. (edt) the Cavalier, an Imperial Airways plane, took of from Ber- muda for Port Washington on a simultaneous trial blazing flight on the westward route.
 First Phases
 The flights marked the first phases of transatlantic cornmer- cial air flights and the ebeginning of actual route markings. In the pilots cabin of the big Sikorsky was Capt. Harold E. Gray, veteran of flights over two continents and the Pacific ocean. The test flights are to establish routes for an airline between New York and Bermuda but the longer objective will be an alternate route for transatlantic flying late this year. The Bermuda New York service will be operated jointly by Pan-American and Im- perial.
 To Take Six Hours
 The southern flight was expected to take six hours, following the sea- board to Charleston, s. C., where the flying boat will swing over to the Darridd Island base.
 Four men in the crew are pilots, including Engineering Officer c. A. Wright who flew on the China clip per in it's inaugural flight in No- vember, 1885, from San Francisco to Manila.
 The Cavalier was accompanied by Captain N. Cumming, veteran of the British Royal Air force and a for- mer transport pilot with Canadian Airways.

which cannot be dismissed lightly and that is that the tumorS result from proliferation of cells pro- duced by some irritating substance or secretion, MT. Hirsche said, add ing that no one would disagree with this theory who had the chance of studying large number of pa- tients admitted to cancer clinic.
 Indications
 On the other hand, 1t is unfor- tunate, he stated, that no one as yet knows how long these forms of mechanical irritations, such as jag ged teeth, too closely fitting eye glasses and the like, must be applied to produce cancer. Indications are, however, that 1t takes a long time and repeated injury to change nor- nal tissue into abnormal. Further more, science has not yet determifn- ed what factors of irritation pro- duce cancer of the stomach and 1n- testinal tract, although some form of irritation is believed to exist.
 Cancer often gives ample warning of its approach even though its de- velopment is practically always in- sidious, coming as it does without pain or feeling of ill health. It often arises in places that have seemingly been exposed to trivial forms of i..itatioy, so that the pa tient himself may not realize the full significance of the warning eip,,c TIjc hei,oC SO Mr HirSche stated, it would seem reasonable to suggest that everyone visit his fam- lily physician periodically. and if he finds condition such as a mole or wart which he might consider a possible source of danger. permit him to remove this as a preventa- tive measure. Conditions which may ultimately lead to certain types of cancer are relatively easy to eradi- cate and the process many not con- sume more than a few minutes.

MAINE HEARINGS
 STILL GOING ON

Auburn, Me, May 25. - (UP) - Counsel for 12 Auburn and Lewiston shoe manufacturers today sought to prove that the National Labor Re- lations Board has no Jurisdiction in the 6l-day C.IO. shoe strike.
 The manufacturers are engaged only in intra-state business ana hence are not within the jurisdic- tion of the board. the attorneys con" tended yesterday at opening of hear, ings before N. L. R. B. Trial Exam iner John A. Lapp, who said ne would hear arguments on the point.
 The manufacturers have been or dered to show cause why the N.1.R.B. should not order elections to de- termine a collective bargaining agency for employees. Three of the 12 manufacturers face additional charges of unfair labor practices in violation of the Wagner Act.
 Dr. Lapp denied a motion to delay hearings until the state supreme court decided whether to make a emporary anti-strike injunction permanent and suggested that an additional motion contesting the constitutionality of certain provis- ions of the Wagner Act be put In writing.

 NO mention was made of social service operations, nor were they dreamed of when The Salvation Army came into being. William Booths all-consuming idea was that the wretched lives of the churchless and goddess slum dwell CTS should be changed by the pow CT of God, and it was for this req son that The Christian Mission, which later became The Salvation Army, was formed.
 In 1878, a deed poll was pre- pared and enrolled in the Chan cery Division of the High Court of England. This set forth the army's legal foundation and prin- cipalS, and described the rogan- ization as being "a religious so- ciety, composed of persons desir- ing to unite themselves together for the purpose of spreading the Gospel!"
 However, one thing led to an- other. It was found impossible to feed a mans soul when his body was starving; it was impossible to win a girl of the streets to Christ and a better way of living. when there was no home for her, nor helpful environment.
 Therefore, called forth by need, the social service branch of Sal- vation Army activity came into being, but not as separate en- tity. 1e became the expression of religion in living.
 The Army believes that Jesus Christ is the only solution to the problems of human misery and sin. Therefore, in their dealings with men and women, while they give practical aid in their settle meut work, hospitals, tenement

visitation, family welfare and other forms of humanitarian ser- vice, their chief concern is that these same men and women shall find a new way of life-that way which is found only in Christ.
 Men and women who offer their lives for full-time service in the organization as officers, offer orf no particular branch of service. Then are attracted by those com polling words spoken by the Christ: Follow Me, and will make you fishers of men," That is their call and that their voca- ton.
 With this ideal ever before them, and the words of the Founder ringing in their ears, "Go for souls, and go for the worst!" there is little possibility that The Salvation Army will rel egate its evangelistic work to the background, and become only a social service organization.
