Flying Hogers
Give Daughter
Birthday Plane

Some parents are timid about al
lowing their children, especially
their daughters, to fly. But not the
parents of 18-year -old Carolyn Ann
Hager.
They have been sympathetic with
her flying since she first went into
the air in January. Just to prove
it, they have just given her a little
yellow monoplane for her birthday.
Actually, the gift is slightly prema-
ture since Carolyn won't be 19 until
September 81, but by that time she
will be en- route in her new plane
to Stanford University, where she is
a sophomore.
Daughter of John M. Hager, an
official of the Federal Home Loan
Bank board and a World War flyer,
and Mrs. Alice Hager, writer on
aeronautical subjects, Carolyn is
studying to become an aeronautical
engineer. Her home is at 4701 Con-
necticut avenue NV.
The young aviatrix started solo,
ing in February, was granted her
private pilots certificate in May and
in June won a prize at the inter-
collegiate flying meet at Lockhaven,
Pa. She now has 10 flying hours
and is on her way to commercial
pilots certificate.

Earth Is 2o Seconds
Fast, Suvunt Saws

That the earth is now 20 seconds
fast in its running time and seems
to be gaining, is the announcement
of DR.. Spencer Jones, astronomer
royal, in London, England.
The explanation is that the earth
expanded 10 inches toward the end
of last century, and 20 years later
shrank. About 1898 the earth was
running fast about four -fifths of q
second year.
Then it changed to running slow
about half a second a year, and
went on losing until it changed and
began to run fast again. In 17S5
our globe was q seconds slow.

Bahamas Ex-Governor .
May Be Windsor Adviser

LONDON, Aug. 3.-Sir Bede Cliff
ford, Governor of the Bahamas from
1882 to 1887 and regarded ss one of
that colony's most successful ex-
ecutives, Is reported to be return
ing there soon, probably to advise
the new Governor, the Duke of
Windsor.
Sir Bede now is Governor of the
Indian Ocean island OF Mauritius.
The capacity in which ne will return
to the Bahamas is not definitely
known, but the general belief is that
his wide experience in colonial ad-
ministration will be placed at the
disposal of Windsor, who lacks per-
sonal acquaintance with the prob
lens.
A source intimately acquainted
with the Bahamas said the Duke
was getting an assignment which
predecessors had found to be "one of
the most difficult In the colonial ad-
ministration."
The Bahamas, Bermuda and Bar
bados stand apart from the major
ity- of British colonies in that their
local legislatures are finally re-
sponsible for the colonies fate and

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.--Dr. Ger

sci to the German Embassy, ad-
mitted today that he had an artifi-

operators license and plates and
promptly applied for new license
plates-for his wife, Irmtrud.
The new plates were issued on
payment of a half-year fee.
Mystery surrounding the German
agents foot was dispelled by Com
missioner Carroll E. Mealey of the
State Bureau of Motor Vehicles, who
said a driving test conducted last
night in Scarsdale, N. Y, disclosed
that DR.. Westrick could drive well
despite the mechanical foot.
Mr.. Mealey said that, neverthe-
less, he considered this a physical
disability and DR.. Westrick's failure
to mention it in his drivers appli-
cation a mis-statement in registra-
ton. He said a formal hearing
would be held by next Friday and
report of his investigation might
be forwarded to the District At
