Of course, the delay may act to alter the original route here and there. Weather conditions will have changed in some sections so that a number of hops planned may not be feasible. On the other hand, some may be easier. ‘What will be the final baiance cannot be guessed until we have studied the weather maps of the world and talked with meterologists who know the ®bectal Dispatch to The Star. BURBANK, Calif., April 12.—About & week ago at Los Angeles harbor my wirplane was lowered over the side of the steamer which brought it from | Hawali. Only yesterday were Lock- heed engineers able to tell me the | extent of the damage suffered on the | attempted take-off at Luke Field, Hon- olulu. Their pronouncement is, “Five | weeks will be needed for recondition- ing and repair.” Like broken bones which nature | knits slowly in her own special process, | the injured parts of an airplane must | be painstakingly restored. There is | no short cut to full usefullness in either case if perfect healing is desired. In addition to “healing,” a strength- ening of certain members to withstand the excessive strain overloading sub- jects them to, is in order for my pet. | " This means some actual redesigning, another process which cannot be hur- Tied. As to the precious engines, | they are already in the Pacific auto- | motive shops here at Burbank being thoroughly checked. After the plane and engines are put together some | time must be allowed for testing. Ready to Fly in Late May. All in all, it looks as if the trip could not be resumed before late May.

What the least shift in the route means can only be appreciated when | it is realized that fuel, oil, and sup- plies have to be shifted correspond- ingly. And especially spare parts and mechanics already arranged for at designated points offer spéeial prob- lems in the replanning. Courses laid out on maps must be replotted and time for covering different distance | calculated again. Just “Happy Adventure.” Despite these troubles in revamping it, there seems to me many reasons for trying to complete the flight. I still think it a good idea and still want to make it—which is, and has been, the dominant reason for the project’s conception. I believe the equipment is the best for the purpose at hand. I would imagine in the present state | of aviation development. | For this flight, let me add, I mnke, no claims of scientific or other ac- | complishment. To me it can be, if | successful, a happy adventure. And | | perhaps there is a place in this pro- | saic world for the right kind of ad- | venturing.

I could not carry on nearly so happily without known and unknown well-wishers. I could not carry on at all without help and encouragement from G. P. P. There is, too, a humanitarian aspect to the flight. It concerns my navi- gator-to-be, Capt. Fred Noonen, who, after our 16-hour voyage to Honolulu, seems to want to continue 8s ship- mate. Shortiy before the Oakland take-off he was in & serious automo- bile accident. Three days ago he sur- vived another highway smashup. Now he and Mrs. Noonen are eager for him to take to the air aghin for safety It's sad but true that the stresses and strains of an airplane accident are just as severe financially as they | are mechanically. So I am more or less mortgaging the future to go on. But what are futures for? Miss Earhart Expected Here. George Palmer Putnam, Miss Ear- hart'’s husband, interviewed at the Barclay Hotel in New York yesterday, said his wife probably would make a brief visit here in about 10 days to care for some business matters in connec- | = tion with the flight. Mr. Putnam was asked to estimate | the actual cost of the accident, in repairs and resulting changes in plans. | “Just how much we cannot tell yet,” | he replied. “But plenty!” | He emphasized the fact, as originally | announced, that the project has nu‘ “sponsor,” its only financial returns | which help to defray costs, being from mail “covers” for collectors which will be carried, and from Miss Earhart's writing for newspapers. The Stamp Department of Gimbels announced in connection with the re- | | newed Earhart flight that there will | be a second issue of covers limited in | number. They will be differentiated newspaper ' from those carried on the first attempt, ' ALL INGREDIENTS of FINEST QUALITY Thomas Stops Baldness at These Three Points ATURE is calling for help when your hair begins to thin at the (1) temples, (2) crown, or (3) frontal point. hair at these points, or dandruff-infected, itchy scalp should warn you that your scalp needs immediate attention to prevent fur- Heed these positive warn- ings and have The Thomas’ correct the in that it supplies the f of which the scalp has been deprived through modern living ¢ results in healthy, growing hair.
