Settle’s stratosphere ; balloon Monday afternoon raced up-, \ward into the far reaches of the third] Sayer of atmosphere surrounding the carth in the hope of attaining an alti- tude of 11 miles on a voyage of scien- tific discovery. Taking off at the Akron airport at 9:27 a, m., the great hydrogen-filled bag and its tiny, spherical gondola passed the 53,000-foot mark at 2:40 Pp. m., said advices to the naval wire- less station here, with a chance of topping 58,000 feet about 3 p. m., Set- tle reported he could no longer see the ground. Settle planned on landing about sundown. He was encountering wind velocities of from 35 to 40 miles an hour, he advised the wireless station. Settle and his companion expect to descend somewhere in the vicinity of Pittsburgh before dusk. If the flight is not completed by then, they will not have a full moon to guide them on _a night landing. The 600,000 cubic foot gas bag was) filled with 120,000 cubic fect of hydro- gen, which swelled beneath the heat of the sun's rays in a three-hour wait | after night had lifted at the air dock here. - Light Breeze Blowing 2 Held by the spider lines, the bag: swayed gently in a light breeze as the| ballonists got aboard the spherical gondola. Then’ the order to cast off ‘was given by Settle. The naval aeronaut sat atop the) gondola as the lines were cast away. the ground for several minutes. Then the commander cast off eight 35-pound bags of sand and one 40- pound bag of lead dust, whereupon{ the huge craft shot upward 1,000 feet. | Waving farewell to the three or four hundred spectators on the field, the commander slid fect first through the porthole into the light metal gon- | cola when the balloon was about 150 feet in the air. Balloon experts considered the take- off auspicious because more than two tons of ballast was borne aloft, giv- ing Settle much latitude in con- trolling the craft. The wives of the officers kissed them goodbye ahd left for Pittsburgh to await the balloon’s descent. Com- mander Settle expected the craft to! <rift in that general direction. Within 15 minutes after the take- eff, spectators had lost sight of the balloon in the haze, which seemed to ciing thickly close to the earth, de- epite the almost cloudless sky. For food the men were car chocolate bars, coffee, hot chocolate. bananas, apples and grapes. One scientific test which the offi- cers had hoped to make, however, will Lot be carried out, due to the failure | of a fresh supply of female fruit flies to arrive by air mail from Chicago. University of Chicago professors lhad asked the balloonists to take the flies into the stratosphere to deter- mine whether the cosmic rays would have any influence on their sex. One batch of flies was on hand last Thurs- ay, but most of the insects died.

DALE REFUSES T0 STRIKERS PREVENT PAY HUGE BILL OF | ENGINEERING FIRM Pillsbury Company Having Trouble Getting $9,600 for Alleged Services Payment of $9,600 to the Pillsbury Engineering company of Minneapolis for plans and specifications for a power plant at the state prison was held up Monday by State Treasurer Alfred “ale, who has asked the at- torney general to rule on the legality of the payment. The board of administration and industrial commission authorized pay- ment of the fee for the work done by the Pillsbury company. Construction of the plant was abandoned after the North Dakota Power and Light Co. agreed to furnish electricity at a reduced rate, estimated by state of- ficials to effect a saving of $40,000 annually. An attorney general's opinion has been given to the board of adminis- tration stating that payment of the fee for the engineering company from funds of the institutions benefiting by the saving ts legal. Dale, in his request for an opinion, drew attention to the law under which the industfial commission au- thorized the Pillsbury company to draw plans and specifications for a power plant to serve siate buildings and institutions in Bismarck and Mandan. The law provided for a $250,000 bond issue for construction of the plant. The voucher for the payment to the engineering firm has been ap- proved by State Auditor Berta Baker, and then passed on to the treasurer for payment.

D., Nov. 20.—()— 1. H. H. Thoresen, Grand Forks, for- mer state tax commissioner. has an- nounced he is a candidate for the Re- publican nomination for governor. In a statement issued Saturday he aeclared he believes “the time has come when the true progressive spirit would make itself felt in our state government.” He called for “true economy,” de- Caring that while there has been some attempt at curtailment of gov- ernmental expenditures “much which seems an apparent gain has been lost through thoughtless action in other fields.” Thoresen, for many years active in the Nonpartisan League, said he “firmly believes in its fundamental principles,” but that he does not be- lieve the league or state should “lend new industrial program,” but that “we should rather plan thoughtfully and systematically that such of our institutions and industries as we have may prosper and be successful.” ‘Thoresen was a candidate for gov- ernor in 1928 but was defeated in the primary election by George F. Shafer. Last year he was nosed out for the Nonpartisan League nomination for governor by William Langer. In political circles, the name Peter Garberg, Fargo, former U. 8. district attorney, also is prominently mentioned as a possible candidate for governor, while Governor William Langer is regarded as a candidate to succeed himself. Text of Statement) In a prepared statement Thoresen id: sald: “It is true I have let it be known to those of my friends who are in- terested that my present plans are to become a candidate for governor next year. I believe the time has come when the true progressive spirit would make itself felt in our state govern- ment. While there has been some at- tempt at curtailment of governmental expenditures, at the same time, much which seems an apparent gain has been lost through thoughtless action in other fields. “Economy does not mean the cur- tallment of expenditures, but rather a well planned and systematic man- sgement of governmental affairs. I believe that with systematic planning and cooperation we may do much yet undone which will mean true economy and be of lasting benefit to the people. “While I have consistently support- ed the program of the Nonpartisan League and do now firmly believe in its fundamental principles, yet I do tot believe the organization nor the offices of the state should lend itself in any attempt to bring about a new industrial program. Such was never the true program of the organization. | We should rather plan thoughtfully ard systematically that such of our institutions and industries as we have May prosper and be successful. “From my past experience in state government I feel I have a knowledge of the needs and the problems of the state and it is because of a desire that I may have an opportunity to five unselfish service that I shall ask for support.” Father Would Void Adoption of Actress New York, Nov. 20.—(7)—It was | Franz Schubert who inquired melodi- ously “Who Is Sylvia?” and it will be the supreme court of the state of New York that will write the answer.

Ulness was in fair condition Mon- day, the doctor said, the wound not being serious unless complications de- velop. Ulness, in company with Harry W. Gray of Wilton and another man named Simons, Ulness told Anstrom, motored to Huff, in Morton county south of Mandan, early Saturday eve- ning, and at a store there met Grein- er and Everett Toole, with whom they were to hunt the following day. In the store, several bullets were placed in the rifle and Greiner was working the extractor. Apparently thinking all of the shells had been ex- tracted, Greiner pulled the trigger and the gun fired, Ulness told Anstrom.
