T.. A. A. Probes Crash
|njuring D. {. Flyer
And Woman
Federal Inspector and
Companion May Have
Skull Fractures

Civil Aeronautics Authority was
conducting an inquiry today into
the accident in which one of its
inspectors and woman passenger
were injured when a Government
airplane crashed in a bean patch at
Baltimore late yesterday
The inspector, Christopher Lample
of Washington, and his companion,
Miss Elizabeth Colleran, "a of Balti-
bore, both suffered possible skull
fractures and severe lacerations and
are in st. Joseph's Hospital in the
Maryland city.
1t was said at the c. A. A. today
that Mr.. Lample is native of Bal
timore and resides at a downtown
Washington hotel, but the name of
the hotel was not known to his as
sociates here. He has been assigned
to the local Office since July l.
Radioed for Taxicab.
Mr.. Lample, flying from Newark,
N. j., to Baltimore, called the con-
troll tower at Logan Field in Balti-
more by radio at 4:42 pm, reported
he was eight miles northeast of the
field and asked that a taxicab be
called for him.
Shortly afterward residents near
Brehms lane and Kenyon avenue
saw the high-wing monoplane
piloted by Mr.. Lample bank steeply
over hilly bean patch nearby, dig
a wing tip into the ground and flop
over on its back.
The airplane halted just across
the street from a row of houses.
Both wings were smashed, part of
the landing gear was torn free and
the engine was wrenched partially
loose from its mounting.
Headquarters Notified
Louis M Rawlins. jr., manager of
Logan Field, called Washington
headquarters of the c. A. A. and
notified them of the crash. A group
of inspectors was sent to Baltimore
to conduct an investigation.
The personnel Office of the c. A. A.
said Mr.. Lample entered the employ
ment of the Airways Division of the
Bureau Of Lighthouses on June 20,
1927, and transferred to the C. A. A.
upon creation of the latter agency.
Miss Colleran resides in the 28OO
block of Pelham avenue, Baltimore,
only a few blocks from the scene of
the crash.

Sand-GraveI Strike
Ended; U. 5. Seeks
Plumber Settlement
Labor Department
ConciIiutors Move Their
Efforts to New Arena

With temporary settlement Of the
Smoot Sand & Gravel Co. labor
dispute in effect, Labor Department
conciliators concentrated their at
tention today on the Districts IS
day plumbing strike.
A joint conference between CcA-
ciliator Howard T. Colvin and
representatives of the striking
Plumbers Union Local No. S and
the Plumbers Guild, organization
of plumbing contractors, was tenta-
lively scheduled for this afternoon
at the Labor Department.
Plumbers Stalemated.
Quick settlement of the difficult
ties between the plumbing factions
was anticipated in building circles
after the sand and gravel jam was
broken yesterday when the 200
striking Smoot employees returned
to their jobs pending further con-
tract negotiations.
officials had explained that the
work of most of the striking plumb
ers would be stalemated in any
event until the sand-gravel tie-up
was broken as their part in building
construction must go hand-in-hand
with concrete laying.
Operations at the Smoot concern
principal source of most of the
Districts sand and gravel supply
were proceeding virtually on a nor
NAL basis today, and regular work
on millions of dollars worth of
building and highway construction
was expected to be resumed accord
ingly.
John B. Coyne, president of the
building and construction trades de-
partment of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, parent organization
of the striking Sand and Gravel
Workers Union Local, No. 22075,
announced the termination of the
walkout yesterday.
He said the workers were return
ing to their jobs, pending negotia-
tions, ito avoid further embarass-
ment to the building industry" in
Washington.
The plumbers are striking for a
81 per day increase over their SIP
per day salary, which, the union
claims, has prevailed for the last
10 years.

invited back. Naturally, these ma
tions were so wounded by the ex-
clusion that it was a good many
years before they came in. In the
present case all we can hope for Is
that the organization will continue
Its research work"
Books Life Protected.
Even If London were to be bombed
tomorrow, chances are the rare book
to be published by the Oxford Uni
versity press-the book which is the
collaborative effort of Prof. Chap
man and Prof. Bartels-will see pub
lication, for two-thirds of the manu-
script is already in type and there
are several copies of this printed
material.
"Geomagnetism" is a volume that,
aside from being labor of love-its
authors will not get one penny from
it-comes as one of the rarest con-
temporary books in the world. Only
1000 copies will be printed. 1t
reaches such raref1ed field that
only engineers in the higher realms
of engineering, prospectors and ra-
dio engineers will have any use for
it. It deals with the magnetism of
the earth.
Asked if Admiral Byrd would take
copy with him to the South Pole,
Prof. Chapman smiled. 1T would
be of no use to him." he said.
Tkrnn C~hornr -
The scientists gathered here are
interested in three spheres of activ-
ity, according to DR.. M. T. Stetson
of the Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology, one of Americas noted
astronomers.
In terse explanation, Dr. Stetson
listed the three problems of science
as follows:
/. Crust of the earth: Trying to
get at what the structure of the
earth actually is, to learn the origin
OF earthquakes, for instance. To
this end, soundings must be taken
all over the earth's surface, from the
highest mountain tops to the deep
est part of the ocean beds. This is
done by the sonic -sounder and other
instruments. Most Of the world
navies have helped in the work.
2. Atmosphere: World weather is
the concern of all. For instance, a
recent New England storm was
traced to its origin by the co-opera-
ton OF many nations, and the origin
was the Sahara Desert. Previously,
folks along the Atlantic Coast had
believed such storms originated in
the lower Floridas.
3. Stratosphere: Investigation of
the rarefled atmosphere and the
layers OF air which reflect radio
waves, making long distance radio
communications possible.

in France, dissented in part. He
said:
II don't think we'll get into this
war. But so far as I'm concerned,
I'd go back into the service in a
minute. I was happier there than
I've ever been since"
Mr.. Douglas enlisted as a private
on July 13, 1914, and served in the
Vera Cruz landing expedition and
in Pershing's punitive expedition
against Villa. He worked his way
up from the ranks to a commits
sion.
Thomas S. Shelmire, who served
on destroyers in the war zone as an
electrician, observed:
IF this keeps up we'll be in it.
Certainly I'd go back. In fact, I
will if get my health back"
Asked if he would go back into
the service, Ralph Villee, who
served in the 814th Aero Squadron
in France, replied:
You're damned right"
Mr.. Villee predicted that America

soon. The only chance he could
see for an early end to the conflict
was a revolution in Germany.
II imagine" he added, that we'll
get into this war eventually"
He enlisted two days before Amer
lea entered the World War and
within a matter of weeks was aboard
a destroyer in the submarine zone
Physicians at the Veterans Hos
pital said it was hard to find a
patient who wasn't willing to go
back into the Army or Navy if he
could get in.
While some of these patients were
wounded, they are suffering from
the effects of more recent illnesses.
The doctors said there were few
service disabilities, and
these were not due to gunshot
wounds or gas.

Mt. Alto Veterans WiIIinq
To Go to War If Necessary
Most of Them Predict United States
Will Be Drawn Into Conflict

At the Veterans Administration
Hospital at Mount Alto are hun
dreds Of men who fought in the
last World War.
They are sick-disabled for one
reason or another. 1t might be
thought that they'd be Mortified at
the idea of another war, glad they
are unlikely ever to be called again
for military service.
Yet random group of them in
terviewed yesterday said they were
ready to fight again if this country
goes into the war. Most of them
predicted America would get into
the new European conflict.
Il don't see how we can stay out
Of it long" was a typical comment
Several expressed regret that they
probably wouldn't be able to get
into the service again.
Ready to Fight If Necessary.
These warriors-many of them
veterans of Chateau -Thierry and
the Argonne, laid low by illnesses,
some survivors of severe wounds
were virtually unanimous in their
readiness to take up arms again if
it should be necessary.
Said N. Old, jr., who was a cap
tain of marines and served at sea
in the war zone throughout the
conflict of more than 20 years ago:
II don't see how we can keep out
Of this war. Things have changed
so much since the last war. The
radio has brought the nations close
together. It's almost impossible to
isolate a country. Sooner or later
the Germans will sink an Ameri-
can ship, and We'll be right in the
middle of it. Would I re-enlist?
Say, if they'd take me I'd be back
in the service right now!"

lieutenant in the Signal Corps of

An Englishman and a German,
both outstanding scientists, sat side
by side today in a lecture hall at
George Washington University and
put the finishing touches to a text
book they have worked on for IL
years in London and Berlin.
Prof. Sydney Chapman, professor
OF mathematics at the University
OF London, and his old friend, DR..
julius Bartels, professor of geophys-
les at the University of Berlin, ex-
pect to have their joint work of
the presses within the next two
weeks. 1t is the first and only text
book of its kind ever published on
the subject of geomagnetism-
which is the title of the book.
These two noted scientists, their
work recognized all over the world,
are attending here the sessions of
the International Union of Geodesy
and Geophysics.
Scientists from the far ends of
the world-263 delegates from 20
nations-convened today in the
laboratories Of George Washington
University to complete reports made
during the last three years-scien-
tlflc studies of the earth's surface.
OF the rarefied atmospheres beyond
the earths surface and of condi-
lions under the crust of the earth.
Deplore Word "War."
Prof. Chapman heads the British
delegation to this meeting and DR..
Bartels is looked upon as the out
standing figure from Germany.
Even before the sessions started
many of their confreres were called
back 'in this period of stress"
What these men gathered here
deplore more than anything else is
the word war" because hostilities
between nations upset their APPLE
cart, as one scientist phrased it.
Ihelr scientific studies demand full
and complete cooperation between
I nations; use of all scientific data
gathered by various government
agencies in all parts of the world
For example, this morning a report
was made from material gathered
by three navies-the American. the
British and the Dutch-data relating
to weather.
Prof. Chapman recalled the history
OF the organization, made up of
seven worldwide associations of
scientists and said the World War

Sandstone, died October 25, 1926.
During these years there were bank
closings and consultations in Pine
county as in other parts of the coun-
fry Frantic efforts to beat the post
war deflation were of no avail. In
Hinckley both banks were closed for
a time but later the Farmers and
Merchants State Bank opened with a
strong set of officers including NJ.

which has flourished since.
New American Building.
In April, 1926, the present Askov
American building was under con-
struction. By July % of that year,
it was completed and opened with
appropriate ceremonies. The build
ing is a freproof structure 4lX90
feet with ample room for expanding
the business. 1t also houses the post
office.
Early in 1926 fire destroyed the
depot at Askov, with A. G. Daniel

Petersen made his first serious step
in politics by filing for state repre-
sentative. His opponent was j. E.
