SIX WARSHIPS JOIN TODAY
IN GREATEST OCEAN SEARCH

HONOLULU, T. H., July s.
(UP)-Six U. 8. warships raced
over the Pacific today in the
greatest sea hunt ever mobilized
as faint radio signals, cracking
out Of the desolate ocean stretch
es along the equator, gave almost
certain proof that Amelia Ear
hart and her flying companion,
Capt. Fred Noonan, were alive,
either adrift or on q reef south
of Rowland island.
The signals, first contact made
with the $4,000 "flying labora-
tory" since it was forced down
Friday on q flight from Lac, New
Guinea, were received by three
powerful radio stations here in
response to a broadcast by sta
tioh KGMB at Honolulu. .
Pan-American Always direc-
tion finder picked up the calls at
Mokapu Point, and estimated the
origin was south of tiny Rowland
island. The station said it could
not place the location exactly,
due to the weakness of the sig
mails.
Meanwhile from other points
came reports, all apparently CO.
inciding, Of messages received by
voice radio from the missing
plane.
Naval operations headquarters
at Washington, d. c., ordered the
aircraft carrier Lexington, with
72 planes aboard, to proceed
from San Diego, Calf, under
forced draft to the Rowland area,
in aid Of the search.
Four destroyers-the Gushing,
Perkins, Lampson and Drayton--
raced over the Pacific with the
Lexington to join the battleship
Colorado, already ploughing to-
ward Rowland from Honolulu.
The coast guard cutter ltasca.
cruising northwest Of Rowland in
search of the plane, changed its
course after receiving reports OF
the signals picked up by Pam
American, and headed across the
equator toward q point about 200
miles below Rowland.
HUGE AIR PATROL
POISED FOR FLIGHT
A huge naval patrol plane was
ready to take off from Pearl Har.
bor If weather reports indicated
it could make the 1900-mile flight
to Rowland. A navy plane was
forced to turn back yesterday:
The signals picked up by Pan
Americans direction finder were
described as carrier wave" sig
mails on Miss Earhart's sending
band. The station said the signals
were trough and weak, split bad,

bearing of 213 degrees on q gon-
The "gonio" is a circle theo-
retically drawn with the station
at Mokapu Point as a center, ana
zero degree due north: The fig-
ure 213 degrees would roughly
place the sender on q line from
Mokapu southwark, running
slightly east of Rowland island.
The coast guard and Wailnpe
naval radio stations both picked

a message from Miss Earhart say:

EIectrOlux Makes
Many Improvements

improvements in the design and
stvling of the 1888 Eleotrolux Gas
Refrigerator have resulted IN a
| still greater charm of outward ap
pearance over that of previous
wears. as we'll as making the refrl
perator more serviceable than ever
through the addition of new conven
fences. according to w. j. Barber,
assistant to the general manager,
Of the Metropolitan Utilities DIS
trict, who has announced that the
new 1888 models are now OF display
in the eompany's s~alesrooms. Pro
visions for easier facility in obtain
ing ice cubes in the deluxe models
is one of the important features.
carrying out a rule that is fast
becoming a tradition, Electrolux
engineers have produced a new
model for 1898 that eXcels that of
1897 just as the 1887 model excel
led that of the previous year, Mr..
CARRIER stated. Aiming to give the
buying public the best there is in
modern automatic refrigeration,
1l5ctrolux engineers work year in
and year out to keep the gas refri
gerators absolutely up to date.
"Of course, the 1888 gas refriger
ator contains a freezing unit that
differs from other automatic refri
gerators in that it has no moving
parts, thus assuring silence, long
life and economy and which has
become so popular in recent years
that more than a million such re
~frigerators have been installed in
the city and rural homes of the
United States and Canada.
"All the new 1888 models are pro
vided with a concealed or 'disap
pearing hinge which eliminates all
hinge parts from the exterior of
the cabinet, thus permanently re
moving any projections or openings
"As simple as a twist of the
wrist is the method of getting the
ice trays out of the refrigerator.
Just as easy is the removal of the
ice cubes from the trays. There is
no longer any need to jerk and haul
or use hot water to dislodge the
trays. There is this new device, a
release lever. which one merely
lifts urgently and which at nee
frees the tray without a struggle.
"a new stainless steel ice cube
release ends the ice cube fight for
ever. All one needs to do is exert
a slight pressure on the release and
the Ice cubes r quickly expelled,
either all together or one at q time.
The entire operation Of getting
the cubes out Of the refrigerator
and into the pan requires only a
few seconds. 1t has been estimated
that 20 per cent more ice can be
obtained by this new improvement
because there is no loss in melting
as there is no need to place the
tray Of ice cubes under the faucet
to dislodge them. No expense has
been spared in developing this new
way Of getting ice cubes at a min
imum effort on the part Of the
user. One just presses the ends Of
the grid and out pop the ice cubes.
No loss, no fuss"
A door in front Of the freezing
unit, a new feature Of the 1898
models. results in less frost accum
ulation. The door also adds to the
attractiveness Of the interior of the
