By the Associated Pres CRANW .L, Lincolnshire, land, June 18 (#).—Flight Lieuts. C. R Carr and P. H. Macworth hopped off &t 12:41 o'clock this afternoon in a big British bombing plane for India in an attempt to break the non-stop dis tance record, now credited to Clar ence D. Chamberlin for his flight from | New York to Germany. The machine used by fivers isa Hawker *“Hor " equipped | with & Rolls Royce “Condor” motor. They have expressed the hope of cov: ering 5.000 miles before heing forced o descend, as against the 3.305 ac- credited to Chamberlin and Levine in their flight to Germa Head for Karachi. No definite destination in India has been set, but the fiyers will head for Karachi, a distance of 4,100 miles. If they reach that point and conditions are favorable, they will continue on to Delhi, which is about 700 miles from Cranwell. Lieut. Carr, in a previous attempt to reach Karachi, made last month. was forced down in the Persian Gulf. The crowds at the fiéld stood silent until the plane, which ran 800 vards before rising, cleared the fence at the end and slowly mounted into the air. The machine was so heavily loaded | that it had attained a height of only 20 feet when it crossed the boundary of the field. New Tire Put On. ‘While taking position for the hop- ff one of the tires burst and the plane | canted dangerously. A new tire was put on for the jump. The route to be followed is by way ©of Vienna and Constantinople, which should be reached in 16 hours: thence ‘mcross Asia Minor to Bagdad and Kar- achi. The flyers hope to arrive over the latter place Monday morning, but will continue on to Delhi if they have sufficient fuel.

However, as character develops, as those lines appear in the face and ‘maround the eyes which render the woman more and more interesting, ‘personality may be defined and dressed.” NEW YORK GETS PAIR IN AUTO-STEALING CASE Notary Seal and Typewriter De- clared Found in Car by ‘Washington Officer.
