JUNIOR' FLIGHT HALTED BY STORM Rain Forces Goldshorough to Impromptu Bean Field Landing Place. By the Associated Press. COLTON, Calif, May 3.—Frank Qoldsborough, 19-year-old flyer of Jackson Heights, N. Y. was halted temporarily in his record-breaking jun- jor transcontinental flight today by heavy rain storms. The youthful aviator, son of Bryce Goldsborough, pllot of the ill-fated transatlantic plane “Dawn,” attempted this morning to fly the remaining 40 miles of his cross-country flight from ‘Westfleld, N. J., to Los Angeles, but rain forced him to return to his im- romptu bean field landing place. He clipped about 15 hours from the | 48-hour record set by Dick James, and with but a half hour flight ahead nl| him, it seems assured that only a dis- | abling accident can keep Goldsborough | from cutting more than 14 hours from | the present record. | Goldsborough started Monday, and according to his computations has been in the air 33 hours when he made an emergency landing here last night. Ap- rtclchlng darkness and a failing gaso- ine supply forced him down after he | had nosed his way through treacherous | 8an Gorgonio Pass. | ‘The boy took off from El Paso, Tex., gesterday and stopped at ‘Tucson, Arizona, for fuel. Continuing on what he hoped would be the final leg of his ! flight, he ran into a thunderstorm near | Yums, Arizona, and came down. After | waiting two hours for better weather, | the youth became impatient and climb-« | ed back into his plane. | Ageinst the advice of experienced | pllots, he took off for Los Angeles. Head | winds en route from Yuma, Golds- borough said, caused a heavy consump- tion of gasoline. The flight will be resumed when the weather permits, Goldsborough said. Overcast skies and frequent bursts of rain late today indicated this would not be before tomorrow. ARMY-NAVY PROMOTOIN FOR PRINCE OF WALES Reported He Will Be. Gazetted | Major General and Given Rank of Rear Admiral. By the Associated Press. LONDON, May 3.—It was understood today that the Prince of Wales prob- ably would receive promotion in both army and navy during this year. ‘There were reports that he would be gazetted a major general in the course of the next few months and possibly promoted to the rank of rear admiral. ‘The prince has been a full colonel for 11 years and is sixth on the senior- ity list for promotion. He is colonel in chief in several regiments, including the Welsh Guards, and has gone through all grades of rank in the same way as any officer who receives pro- motion. In the navy the prince has held the rank of captain since July, 1919. i e NEW CRUISES PLANNED Cunard Line May Charter Three Ships for 5-Day Sea Trips. | NEW YORK, May 3 (#).—The Herald- | fribune says the Cunard Line, with | germl&slon from the State Department, planning to charter three ships of its associated Anchor Line to the National | ‘Tours Co., which will operate them on & series of three five-day cruises out of | New York and return without touching | at any other port, all of the time to be | at sea. | Aside from the unusual plan of send- ing & liner to sea without a set destina- tion, the newspaper says, American shipping men see in the coming cruises something new in the way of relieving the thirsty, because the ships carry in ll.rse supply of liquors, wines, ale, stout and beer. Foreign ships are allowed to carry an unlimited supply of liquor, provided they keep it under stal while in terri- torial waters. 200 Men Rescue Girl, 5.

P. Bradley. Hundreds in Alexandria know Mr. W. P. Bradley, who resides at the George Mason Hotel, where he is employed as steward. A few days 8go he said: “I think every one here should know about Miller's Herb Extract (formerly called Herb Juice) 88 it is one medicine that helps where others fail. When I bought my first bottle I was in a bad condition and for months I had not enjoyed a good night's rest; my kidneys acted 8o irregular that I was up at all hours and when morning came I felt as tired as when I went to bed; my liver was out of order, black spots seemed to float before my eyes, bilious spells made be deathly sick and lots of times I felt so weak and dizzy 1 could not stand without holding to something; what little food I ate did not agree with me and constipation made it necessary for me to be continually taking a strong laxative. This medicine proved to be just the remedy for my trou- ble and before I had used all of the first bottle I felt better in every way. The continued use of it for a short time not only cleansed my sys- tem of all the poison, but has regu- lated the kidneys, liver and bowels, put my stomach in good condition and I never have a sign of my for- mer troubles. As far as my general health is concerned I feel better in every way than I have for years and never expect to be without this great medicine.” See the special repre- sentatives direct from the laborato- ries at their headquarters in Peoples Drug Store, 505 7th St. N.W., Wash- ington, also Peoples Service Drug Store, 727 King St., Alexandria, Va., NEW CEMETERY POLICY DECLARED BY DE WITT Washington Man Stands Fourth Among 51 to Qualify for Posts as Superintendents.
