British Plane Has
3,24O Mile Range
Seuen-Year DEVELOPMENT /,
Behind Huge Bomber.

LONDON.-Bombers capable of
carrying war-load from a London
alrdrome to any point in Europe ex-
cept the eastern half of Europea n
Russia and of returning to their
starting point without intermediate
Landing are in large production for
the British royal air force.
Alongside the Brooklands automo-
bile race track stands factory ex-
banded to many times. its former
productive capacity and fully
equipped with the most modern
plant and machinery, which is given
over to manufacture of the Vickers-
Wellington twin-engined monoplane,
a craft of "geodetic" construction
credited by the air ministry with a
range in still air, carrying military
load, of 3,240 miles.
Substantial numbers of these for
midable planes are already in serv-
ice, and rate of output is constantly
accelerated.
The Wellington is the second "all
geodetic" plane to 60 into mass pro-
duction. Invented by B. N. Wallis,
and developed by him in conjunc-
ton with the Vickers company over
the past seven years, geodetic con-
struction is aimed to reduce struc-
tural weight without loss of strength.
Performance of the Wellington
bomber, which is powered with two
Bristol Pegasus XVIII two-speed
supercharger air-cooled radial en-
gines, includes maximum speed In
level fight of 265 miles an hour at
a height Of 1900 feet, according to
new figures just revealed by the air
ministry.
Later models, Wellington II and
III, have more powerful engines,
and their performance in some re-
spects IS considerably better.

Bad Girls Are Just Three
Times as Bad as Bad Boys

PHILADELPHIA. - Delinquent
girls are three times as bad as boys,
in the opinion of DR.. Henry Gideon,
head of the department of compul-
sorry attendance of the Philadelphia
board of education. He said:
1T takes the efforts of three boys
to be as bad as one bad girl. When
you have bad girl on your hands
you have real problem.
Gangs of delinquent boys in Phila-
delphia have been largely wiped out,
and the problem is now one of in

Braves Erupting Volcano
To Stalk Bear In Alaska

SEATTLE, WASH.-Stalking Alas
ka's giant brown bear is dangerous
enough; and when there's an active
volcano nearby-that really adds up
to thrills.
That is the adventure recounted
BY A. G. Gilbert, who returned from
a hunting trip near Perryville,
Alaska, where Mount Veniamin has
been erupting internationally for
weeks.
Ashes fell so thickly in the vicinity
of the volcano it was difficult to
breathe, Gilbert said. But the ash,
holding the tracks of the bear. made
it easier to trail them.
Gilbert shot two bear measuring
more than 10 feet.

Plenty of.Faci|ities
For Yachts 10 Dock
Al New York Fair
Plans Are Being Made
To Greet Craft at
Various Points

NEW YORK, April 29.-Inquiries
are beginning to pile in from distant
harbors about anchorage and berth
ing facilities for Worlds Fair Wis
itors who come to New York by
yacht. 1t indicates that most of
the yacht clubs of the country will
have one or more of their burgess
flying in Flushing Bay.
Come one, come all! New York
City has written Welcome" on its
doormat for this summer, and the
yachtsmen have not been neglected
either by the Worlds Fair or by the
department of parks.
Special MOOring Area.
In Flushing Bay a special moor
ing area for visiting yachts is be-
ing finished this month. Robert o.
Cox, in charge of the fairs yacht
ing operations, says 295 moorngs
are being put in place, in regular
arrangement like an apple orchard,
north of the fair boat basin. Each
mooring has a standard navy buoy
and a specially designed anchor.
The Coast Guard and captain Of
the ports Office have informed the
fair people that no charge can be
made for these moorings. They will
be located about 300 yards off the
bulkheaded fair basin, but it hasn't t
been determined yet whether
yachtsmen will be permitted to land
their tenders, gigs and dinghies at
the four 100-foot floats inside the
bulkheading which are mainly re-
served for water taXis. However,
there will be tender service provided
by the fair at a small fee and a
code of signals for yachts to sum-
mon one of the tender launches
A mooring official to assign buoys
will also be available in a special
launch.
Park Department Aid.
A few hundred yards west of the
mooring area will be the new park
department public yacht basin ad-
joining the North Beach Airport
This will be operated similarly to
the public basin at Seventy-ninth
street and the Hudson River which
was opened last summer.
Occasionally there will be avail
able berths at the Palisades Inter-
state Park basins at Englewood
Alpine and Forest View. Practically
every yacht club on the western end
of Long Island Sound is anticipat-
ing visitors this summer and ex-
poets its guest moorings will be
occupied every night.

Canada Uncha||enged
As Main Customer
In Motorboats

Canada, Venezuela and Great
Britain ranked as the leading mar
kets, in order named, for American
motor boat exports during 1888, &C
cording to Department of Commerce
statistics. The years exports to-
tailed 1892 units, valued at $780,
1856.
One record was set and the total
value of boats, marine engines and
outboard motors sent abroad showed
an increase although the volume
was off 103 units. The 1887 exports
.totaled 1895 units, valued at
$3,482.185.
The record was set up in the num-
ber of outboard motor exports,
which reached a new high of II 1892
units. The previous mark was II ,32l
motors in 1929.
Canada's long-retained position as
the chief customer among the more
than 100 countries that buy from
the American motor-boat industry
went unchallenged.

but that's the life. Conditions are
such there that this quiet village
offers nearly every type Of fishing
in season. The river and inlets
stretching perhaps a mile to the
ocean are full of tiny tide rips in
which the fish feed.
In them you will find croak-
er, weaks and black sea bass.
Sometimes large rayfish will
take your hook.
Big shark also are found there.
Outside is channel bass fishing, and
at certain times they may be caught

of the pound nets founder may be
found. Some of them are very large.
This department has taken them
there up to IA pounds-real door,
mats. For some reason bluefish are
scarce inshore. but they may be
caught about 10 miles out when the
run starts. Several boats were
equipped with outriggers last season,
and this summer real efforts prob
ably will be made to locate some
marlin grounds off Wachapreague.
Report on Ocean City.
A big celebration is going on
over at Ocean City, Md, today as
the Game Fishermen's Association
officially opens the season. Capt.
Crawford Savage. president. in his
Hilda II, will lead a parade of boats
out through the inlet and toward
the Jack Spot.
Last season Ocean City set
record for marlin catches,
with more than 1000 taken.
The shippers will have to go some
to equal that this year. OF course,
1t is too early to catch them yet
but other fish are biting or soon
will be.
James D. Jarman, who beats the
publicity drums for the Chamber OF
Commerce there, says that a school
of Boston mackerel has been found
offshore, and some have been caught
by commercial trawlers. In May OF

last year several sizable catches Of
these spread-tail fighters were made.
Trawler nets and pound nets also
have taken some blues, but it will
be a month or more, according to
our figures, before the sporting ele-
ment will run into them. Sea bass
and porgies now are being caught.
