| of Indian affairs. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1927 MRS, GRAYSON L00KS TOWARD CAREER IN AIR Ultimate Object of European Hop Is Entry of Herself in Commercial Aviation New York. Cct. 20.—(—Woman will make a flying leap into the realm of commercia! aviation if the transatlantic flight of Mrs. Frances Wilson Grayson is successful. Undeterred by the threat of au- tumn weather on the Atlantic, Mrs, Grayson, young American business ‘woman, blonde and blue-eyed, insists that her flight will be made. The ultimate object, she says, is the entry of her partner, Mrs. Aage Ancker, and herself into the field of commercial flying. Already she and Mrs. Ancker, wife of a Danish sportsman, have formed the Anck- er-Grayson Aircraft corporation to demonstrate her faith in the feasi- bility of transoceanic flying. Mrs. Grayson says that she will fly across herself first. Later, she. says, her corporation hopes to act as selling agent for airplanes. Plane Rushed to Completion For this reason “ The Dawn,” giant twin-motored Sikorsky am- phibian plane, has*been rushed to completion. Wilmer Stultz, vet- eran pilot, has been entrusted avith guiding the big machine when it takes off from Old Orchid Beach, Me. Bruce Goldsborough, naviga- tor, and a former chief radio oper- ator in the navy, is the third mem- ber of the crew, Every effort has been made to have “The Dawn” safe for ocean flying. . Propelled by two Wright Whirlwind engines, it is capable of taking off or alignting on either water or land. It is built to be seaworthy, is equipped with radio and is said to have a cruising ra- dius of 4,000 miles. Mrs. Grayson insists emphatic- ally that she has no intention of making a “foolhardy” flight. In the first place, she says, the flight from the United States to Den- mark will not be a non-stop affair. From Old Orchard, she explains, she will fly in any direction that opens the first safe channel to Eu- rope, alighting at Newfoundland if necessary or flying by way of the Azores. She plans to land in Ire- land, England or France before proceeding to Denmark. Born in Arkansas Mrs. Grayson was born in a Cherokee Indian village in Arkan- sas, the daughter of Ancrew Jack- son Wilson, a federal commissioner She studied voice culture at the Chicago Mu- sical college, graduted from Swarthmore, and in 1919 was mar- dier to John Seat Grays :, a first cousin of Rea: Admiral Cary Gray- son. They were divorced in 1923 in Virginia on grounds of incom- patibility, Two years ago Mrs. Grayson en- tered the real estate business. says’ she sold $2,000,000 worth of acreage and that having proyed her ‘ability in that line she turned to aviation. Then followed the partnership with Mrs. Ancker. She places their expenditures thus far at $43,000 in preparing for the flig:t and says $20,000 more will be necessary. READERS WANT SPORTS NEWS Wisconsin Publisher Defends Papers’ Attitude Towards Professional Sports Chicago, Oct. 20.—(AP)—A de- fense of the ..ttitude of the newspa- pera toward professional sports was given here today by F. R. Starbuck, Wisconsin state president of the As. sociated Press and co-publisher of the Racine Journal News, before the Inland Press associations He said that the attitude of the public toward the recent Tunrey-Dempsey bout proved that the “massesg are interested in such affairs.” “There is only one way to look at this question,” said Mr. Starbuck. “It is not what the publisher wants, but what the readers want. I be- Neve the recent Tunney-Dempsey fight proved conclusively that the masses are interested in profession- al sport, for certainly hcre was a contest that was commercialized ivom start to finish. It might be said, of course, that if it were not for the generous space given this event the public interest would uot have been developed. But, after all, I do not believe that the support of the press was the main factor in arousing interest. Many Are Intersted “Admitting my own non-attend- ance at certain professional games, that does :tot mean I am not inter- ested and I think the same thing applies to many others. I know many people who read the stock market reports daily, but ‘would never think of risking a dollar. I have never caught a fish above four pounds, but I can get a wonderful kick out of reading about the cap- ture of a gigantic sea bass or a tar- pon. “The trouble with some of us led commercialis of pr sional sports, we don’t like the idea of giving up: so much ‘space to oth- ers without those in back of it buy- ing some of our advertising space. ‘That is, to be true, a regrettable fac- tar, but are the publishers ready to taxe a radical step in eliminating much of it, just decause the pro- moters ignore our advertising col-| casion. umns? ; Purveyor of News A “The press may have created 3 frankenstein monster, but it is here|tober 29th. ike editori- ally, but when it comes to the news columns we would be She foolish to} music Wonder Legion Picked Paris!

TRIP ACROSS OCEAN Four Men to Hop From Frisco For Hawaii, New Guinea and Australia eC will take them over the Marshall islands and other Pacific groups, but they will not land on any of them unless forced to by mechanical or other t#oubles, When the plane leaves Bay Farm Island, the eet ie: flying field near Oakland, it will have the larg- est crew aboard that has headed for Hawaii sige the memorable attempt of the late Commander John Rodg- ers. The seaplanes of his unsuc- cessful expédition were manned by five men, Only one pte in the re- cent Dole flight carried as many as three, This was the ill-fated entry on which Miss Mildred Doran and her two male companions went to their death. With slightly more than 1,400 gallons of gasoline, the Australian plane will have a capacity for a calculated sustained flight of 46 hours, giving a cruising margin of 500 miles in excess of the distance between Kauai Island, Hawaii and New Guinea. The jump to Hawaii, while con- siderably shorter than the next span of the itinerary, is regarded as the more dangerous, first because of the need for greater accuracy in navigation to locate the island, and second because weather cdnditions are likely to be more disturbed. In the northern area in Optober and November, cyclones and squalls are prevalent, while in the South Pacific, where it is spring, the nor- mal weather is more equable. Thomas Reed, United States Oakland, Cal., Oct. 20.)—If a 5,800-mile gap of sea can be bridged by thoroughness of preparation and a spirit of daring, four Australian aviators will carry home with them the world’s record for long distance transoceanic flying. Weeks of study of weather and air conditions have convinced Captain Kingsford Smith and his three asso- ciates of the feasibility of. trying to make a i jump from Hawaii to New Britain Island, off the coast of New Guinea. Captain Smith and Lieut, Keith V. Anderson will alternate as pilots of the ship. Charles T. P, Ulm and W. A. Todd, a sub-lieutenant in the Royal Australian naval reserve, will go as navigators. Taking off from Oakland, Cal., as soon as weather permits, the four flyers will make Honolulu their first objective. There they will take a light load of gasoline and gent te Kauai, a small island in-the Ha- waiian group just northwest of Honolulu. weather observer at San Francisco, From Kanai’s believes h~+ can foretell conditions ‘Thoughts of Christmas come early —shopping is usually late.

The U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics estimates that 20-25 per cent of the crop had left the hands of growers| up to October 4, compared with 45 per cent. last year and 26 per cent two years ago, and 45 per cent three years ago. Harvesting began later than last year and was delayed to some ex- tent by rains in some sections, espec- ially in South Dakota and Kansas. Growers have not sold freely at prevailing prices and buyers se not been so active as a year ago. Movement has been greatest in northeastern North Dakota, north- eastern South Dakota and southeast- ern Nebraska. In the heaviest pro- ducing districts of the Dakotas and Minnesota 20 to 30 per cent had) been sold by growers compared with 40 to 50 per cent last year. Prices declined on an average 30c per 100 pounds during the three weeks. On October 4, prices in 15 districts or States averaged $5.10 per 100 pounds, basis clean seed compared with $8.35 a year . In the main producing sections of Min-' nesota and the Dakotas the average was $4.60 compared with $4.80 three weeks ago, $8.60 a year ago, and $5.40 two years ago. The quality of the crop was re- ported fair to gofd in majority of districts, in spite of damage by rain and frost.
