FIERRD PLANNING - MEXCO CITY TR Flyer to Take Off for New York Tomorrow in Prep- aration. By the Associated Press. BAN ANTONIO, Tex., June 3.—Col. Roberto Fierro, Mexican aviator, said last night he would take off from here Wednesday for New York, making the flight in one hw if possible, and after remaining in New York a few days would attempt a non-stop flight from there to Mexico City. Col. Fierro landed at Winburn Field There shortly before noon today, dispell- ing fears felt for his safety after he had | failed to put in an earlier appearance on his flight from Burbamk, Calif, where he took off Sunday morning in- tending to land her: Sunday afternoon. Because of a leaky connection his gas supply gave out and the Mexican flyer made a forced landing on a ranch 30 miles southwest of San Angelo, Tex., late yesterday. The landing gear was damaged in landing, but he took off without mishap this morning after procuring a supply of fuel. Ollie B. , rancher, and the unex- ted host last night to the famous exican aviator, said Col. Fierro coasted to earth at about the only place within 10 miles that he could have landed safely.

EXPLOITING GENIUS LAID 0 GUARDIAN Father Makes Charge Seeking Custody of 9- Year-0ld Violinist. in By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 3.—The father of a 9-year-old musical prodigy from San Francisco and the young woman who for several years has been his teacher met yesterday in a court in a legal battle for the youngster's custody. The little violinist is Rugglero Ricci, who made a triumphant debut here with the New York Symphony Orches- tra last Fall and was hailed by metro- politan music critics as a second Yehudi Menuhin. p ‘Two years ago Miss Beth Lackey be- came the guardian not only of Rug- gerio, but also of his younger brother Gilorgio, who also shows some promise with the violin. Now the father wishes to have the boys returned to him, chargi that Miss Lackey exploited them. e lat- ter appeared in court yesterday with Ruggiero and Giorgio in answer to habeas corpus proceedings. e In its first flight a commercial air- El:ne crashed in a cemetery at St. nis, France, recently, and the three occupants were injui v THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, CIRCUS CONCLUDES PROGRAM TONIGHT Crowd Packs Tents for Opening Performances Yesterday. After bringing joy to thousands of hearts the circus will pull up stakes following tonight's closing performance ‘|and bid farewell to Washington until another year rolls around. Lured by the call of the sawdust rings, A crushing crowd of carefree children and grown-ups packed the great main tent yesterday afternoon and last night to give the combined show—now Ringling Brothers and Bar- num & Bailey—a rousing reception. Favored by another day of sunshine, Camp Melgs was being invaded again this afternoon while rumors were being circulated that President Hoover was thinking about joining them for an hour or so of relaxation. Joining in the whoops of delight from hundreds of small throats on all sides, curly headed Paulina Longworth and a party of little friends sat on the front row opposite the center ring yesterday afternoon and received the thrill of thelr young lives. Mrs. Longworth, Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick and scores of other prominent men and women got just as much “kick” out of the per- formance as did_ the youngsters with em. More Action. There was more action in this 1930 | show than in former editions, From the time the herds of 40 elephants headed the colorful parade, amid the shouts of thousands of little and big throats, to the sensational end of the performance there was hardly a min- ute's lull. A human projectile by the name of Hugo Zacchini furnished the last big thrill that sent. the crowds scattering for the closing rodeo and the midway. Just how many times Zac- chini has been hurled into midair from & belching “Big Bertha” is not recorded, but he doesn’t look the worse for wear after two such stunts a day. ‘With an absence of tiresome pageants, cial acts with smoothness and rapidity. Countless clowns and freakish automo- biles that dumged and chased their occupants probably ranked first m the hearts of the juvenile portion of the big audience. A clownish artist drew a hearty laugh from the anti-prohibi- tionists by drawing the picture of a keg of beer on & canvas and then turned the tap and poured himself a foaming glass of something that looked like the real thing. For those who liked the aerial artists, Luicita Leers, a diminuitive aerialist of remarkable skill, gave an endurance test that ranked with the best scen under a circus tent in many a year. Miss Leitzel, the queen of aerial gymnasts, also held thousands of necks craned upward as she did stunts never before duplicated. Then, too, there were the Flying Codonas, the star of whom thrilled the big tent by turning three times in mid- air to catch the hands held out waiting for him. The first time yesterday after- noon he missed. The second trial was a perfect exhibition. New Wallenda Act. The Wallenda family, & group of high-wire artists who seemed to defy the laws of gravitation, came in for their share of applause. Their sensa- tional close is & new act. Two per- formers stand on a tight wire near the top of the tent and hold a rod be- tween back and chest. A third per- former balances himself in a chair on this slim rod and a daring young girl climbs to his shoulders. Her “head barely misses the top of the high tent. Grace and beauty of equestrianism contrasted amusingly with the convuls- ing mishaps of a band of riding come- dians, furnishing a rare treat in this always popular circus act. Glossy steeds waltz and prance to music just as they did vears ago. One unbilied act that made & big hit was the escape of a pigeon who simply refused to return to its trainer. It flew from section to section and escaped a hundred times from the clutches of roustabouts and even the clowns who joined in the lively chase. Probably the pigeon returned for supper, but when last seen it was perched high on one of the big poles, contentedly taking in the whole show. MRS. GARRETT WINS PLEA Custody of Minor Daughter Is Awarded to Father. Mrs. Alice Vandergrift Garrett was granted a divorce in the District Court at Reno, Nev., yesterday from George A. Garrett, prominent Washington broker, resident partner of F. B. Keech & Co., according to word received here. Both are prominent socially in Wash- ington. Custody of a minor daughter was awarded to the father, the mother hav- ing the right to visit and have the child visit her at all reasonable times. The wife is a daughter of Mrs. Sam- uel H. Vandergrift. They were mar- ried here in January, 1913. His home is 1808 New Hampshire avenue. Mrs. Garrett charged her husband with mental cruelty, alleging that it was impossible for her to keep up with his social engagements. She has a home at Cannes, France, and spends much of her time there. Plunges to Death at Niagara. NIAGARA FALLS, N.

How much does it cost? There are models at $220, $250, $270, $280, $370 and $455, completely installed. What is the operating expense? 25 to 70 centsa {week. About half what you probably pay for ice. e What about noise? Electrolux is the only automatic irefrigerator that is absolutely silent. It can never anake any noise, for, it has no moving parts. . What about mechanical troubles? Electrolux hasn’t 8 single moving part to wear. There is no machinery to cause trouble. Is it safe? Absolutely so. The refrigerant used in Electrolux never needs replacement. It is hermetically sealed forever inside a rigid, immovable one-piece _ welded steel unit that has no openings of any kind. Is it dependable? The N.Y. Herald Tribune Insti- tute, one of the nationally known laboratories that tested Electrolux, reports that “the refrigerator will probably be one of the most dependable appliances in the household.” Will it freeze ice cubes? Yes, and quickly, too. Delineator Home Institute tested Electrolux and re- ports that “in an 80-degree room with standard load, water at 70 degrees F. in all the trays froze in approxi- mately 4 hours.” How long will it last? Indefinitely. With no frie- tion, no vibration, no wear, science can find no good reason why this refrigerator should ever wear out. A tiny gas flame does all the work. It circulates the liquid refrigerant that produces the cold. No motor. No moving mechanism at all. You’ll be keenly enthusiastic about Electrolux. There’s nothing else like it. You are doing yourself an injustice if you do not see the Electrolux before you buy an automatic refrigerator. At our showrooms you'll find many models and sizes in white and beauti- ful colors, offered on extremely liberal terms. Or we will send complete illustrated information on request.
