ROOSEVELT FIELD, N. Y.. June 21. ! —Viola Gentry, former holder of woman's solo endurance flight record, and Charles W. Parkhurst, former in- |structor at Roosevelt Field Flying School, took off at 11:22:15 o'clock, Eastern daylight time, today on a re- fueling endurance flight. They were flying a light biplane with a 110 horsepower engine. The plane is called the Answer and the refueling ship is called the Exclamation Point, names recalling the title of the famous Army endurance plane the Question Mark. The Exclamation Point will be flown Emil Burgin and the 50-foot ‘hose will be handled at the refueling ship end by Harold Wilder. The Answer had 114 gallons of -fuel when it went aloft {and it was not planned to refuel until this evening. The refueling endurance flight record is held by Reg Robbins and James ! Kelly, who kept the plane Fort Worth | in the air for 172 hours, 32 minutes and 1 second, beating the time of the Army Question Mark by 21 hours 51 min- utes and 10 seconds. “Miss Gentry is known as the “flying | cashier” because she has worked in a restaurant from time to time to get. money enough to continue her flying. She first came to newspaper notice in 1926 by piloting a plane under the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. In December of last year she established an endurance record for women by staying aloft 8 hours, 6 minutes and 37 seconds. The record was soon beaten and since then several have held it. Elinor Smith is the incumbent® with an official time of 26 hours, 21 minutes and 32 seconds. Miss Gentry tried to regain the women’s record last January, but cracked up her plane on the takeoff.

Temporary relief from the heat wave looms this afternoon in the form of an electrical shower, but no perma- nent break is in sight, it was said at noon at the Weather Bureau. The out- look is slightly cooler and generally fair today and tomorrow. The temperature at noon was 84, and the thermometer was not expected to reach the 91 of yesterday, which was marked by one death, in which the heat was reported as a probable con- tributing factor, and three prostrations. No prostrations had been reported at noon today, the official first day of Summer. Isaac M. Bailey, 80 years old, veteran of the Indian War and an inmate of Soldiers’ Home since January, 1913, was taken suddenly ill yesterday afternoon and died before physicians at the in- stitution could minister to him. Daughter Notified. A daughter, Mrs. Maud A. Fritz, re- siding in Capitan, Lincoln County, N. Mex., has been notified of her father's death. The deceased, a native of the vicinity of Cleveland, Ohio, served in the 4th United States Cavalry from the latter part of 1870 until 1875. Yesterday afternoon the elderly man left the institution to meet a niece from New Mexico, he told friends, and when he returned to the home he said ge );.ld met her and escorted her to a otel. On his return to the home he com- plained of suffering from the heat. He took a bath and shortly afterward com- plained of being sick. It is believed a heart attack was superinduced by the heat.

By the Associated Press. The lgrlcun.unl Northwest carried a plea to Congress today for changes in '.he House ul'lfl bill thlt would further encourage crop diversification. Flax was the principal commodity mentioned. Representatiye Burtness, Republican, of South Dakota, urged before the Sen- ate finance subcommittee on agricul ture rates an increase to 70 cents a bushel in the present rate of 56 cents on flax seed. The House bill raises the fluty to 63 cents. infreasing the Fordney-McCumber duty of 40 cents to 56 cents, Burtness said, was based on differences in cost of production in this country and Argen- tina, which took into consideration tine invoice prices, including rofits and other items of cost. Amer- ican costs, he said, did not include | Of profits. It cost the domestic grower $2.54 a bushel to lay down flaxseed in New cost of $1.52. Burtness also urged a 20 per cent duty on millfeeds and screenings. The present rate of 15 per cent on millfeeds is reduced to 10 per cent in the House biM, while the 10 per cent duty on screenings is retained. ‘The agriculture rates in the House bill,” Burtness said, ‘‘are better than in any tariff bill in history, although they | could be improved by raising them more in some instances.” Cigars Graded by Colors. In the packing of cigars it has always been regarded as essential that the rolls of tobacco as they repose in the box should be perfectly matched in color. There was a time when experts graded according” to their color. A machine cigars—a light shines on each—and with no human aid does the color or “shade” . Four thousand per hour! Give another machine tobacco leaves at one end, and in one operation it makes a complete cigar and discharges it at the other. How? By making machinery imitate exactly the movements made by human hands in cigar-making. 3 Celestial Bodies More Distant Than Any Others Found PossibilitySeenThatStudy of Them May Prove Limits to Space. By the Associated Press. BERKELEY, Calif., June 21.—New evidence bearing on the structure of the universe has been laid before the Amer- ican Association for the Advancement of Science with announcement of a study of three celestial bodies, fainter and more distant than any whose Ilght has ever before been analyzed. Dr. Milton Humason and Dr. P‘un-_ cis Pease of Mount Wilson Observatory presented the evidence, which included the measurement of the greatest velocity | known in nebulae, 4,900 miles a second by one of the bodies. All three bodies are moving away of 4,600 and 3,100 miles a second. Two are believed to lie in a cluster near the pole of the milky way, while the third i.s nearer the earth. The bodies, analyzed by their xpectmm | in the great 100-inch reflector of thc‘ observatory, are 50,000,000 light years away from the earth, Each light year | ln"equlv:lent to about 6,000,000,000,000 miles. ‘The significance of the work fis thought to le in the curious relation | that, where bodies are moving away from the earth, the more distant they | -re. the faster they appear to be mov- %’hh relation has been suggested as a | clue to the structure of the universe. ‘The theory is that velocities are il- luuory and the displacements seen in | the spectrum are not actual motions | but distortions in light waves that have | traveled enormous distances | space, The distorticus may be dus to 2l curvature of D;L alnhuvlty '!'mu. universe h , exhl m’i te volume with nt \nunlmn | "5 the murface = the €arth is losed | two dimensiae.
