The message read: ‘How far are we from land, which way?’y “We pointed our answer on deck to 300 miles from the Azores. The American Girl had circled over the ship several times and then started to de- cend, then landed alongside. The aviators clhyhed to the top of the plane and our crew ‘rescued them, taking them off in a small hoat, / “‘Arrangements were made to iiofst the plane abourd the steam- er'but suddenly two explosions occurred and the machine was afire.” Famous Blind Negro " Pianist Passes Away WARRENSBURG, Mo., Oet. 15. —Blind Boone, 63, famous negro planfst dled here while visiting his h rother, Harry Hendrix. ‘was. caused by acute dily tion ‘of ‘the heart.

The road from the cannery north to a point about a mile north of Auk Lake Loop will be rebuilt and widened.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.—Chicago is preparing to fight crime with science. 7 It expects to rid the city of known gangsters, 'hoodlums and “racketeers” by the simple method of giving them intelligence tests, and by sending them to institu- tions if they fail. The plan was inaugurated by Detective Chief William P.
