CHILOREN HURT IN PLAY WITH BOHB New Haven Boy Expected to Lose Sight of Eye New Haven, Aug. 26.—UP—When Albert Riccio, 8, of Hamden found 4 railroad torpedo not far from his home Thursday, he called his broth- er Domenic, 10, and his sister Helen, 9, to demonstrate to them, how the torpedo should be fired. While they stood admiringly by, he placed the torpedo on a rock and pounded it with a hammer until it | #xploded and burst into bits injuring all three children. ‘l As the result of his experimenting, | Albert has already lost & piece of his | nose and may lose the sight of his right eye and Domenic and Helen are in serious condition Thelr parents, hearlng the explo- 1on and the children’s screams, and thinking that they had been shot, alled the Hamden police depart- ment on the telephone. When a po- liceman arrived with Medical Ex- iminer George H. Joslin, the three ~hildren were rushed to New Haven hospital where they are now re- celving treatment. COSTES I3 READY T0TRY LONG HOP French Aviator Completes All His Tests 26 Parls, Aug. (A—For more than two years the plans and dreams of Dieudonne Costes have been centered about an airplane flight from Paris to New York. While he made ready for his| tlight and tested his plane he has seen the Atlantic crossed from the west by Lindbergh, Chamberlin and Byrd, and he has seen two com- rades of his own nation, Nung ser and Coll, strive in vain to to America from Paris. After months of Costes is ready for his flight, and he hopes still to be the first to journey by plane across the east- ward route from Paris to New York. Last May the French aviator flew trom Parls to Djarsk, Russia, on a test voyage preliminary to his ocean jump. That flight set a non- stop distance record which stood until Chamberlin and Levine cross- ed the Atlantic. v Returning b: way of India, Athens and Rome, he got to Paris to see his non-stop record wrested from him and he took off again for Russia on another flight, but got only to Nijni-Tagilsk, 5,000 Kkilo- meters from Paris, when storms . forced him down. His tests have served to kim ample confidence in the motored Breguet plane of military design, in which he made all his experimental voyages and in which | he will essay the Paris-New York | fly preparation give hop. The French government has Ik permitted him to use the ship in his flight. The plane has been modified to “make room for more fuel than military planes ordinarily carry, and its two 650-horsepower motors, nfde by Hispano-Suiza, have been placed tandem-fashion, one behind | the other. Costes will pounds of gasoline, of the plane at the takeoff will exceed five tons. Like Byrd's America, the Breguet will have a | dumping valve permitting -quick emptying of gasoline tanks, thus reducing danger from fire in event | of a crash and giving the plane the buoyancy of a boat it it has to make a landing in the sea. Costes is 35, and he has few superiors in skill or experience mong TFrench airmen. He has been flying since 1912, and he won | cleven citations during the war for | achievements in airplane combat. He has remained in the air service | since the war. carry almost 8,000 and the weight Le Gallienne’s Daughter | Exhibits Her Paintings Paris, Aug. 26 (A —Fame seems to be contagious in the family Richard Le Gallienne, the poet. | The name of his youngest daugh- | ter, Gwen Le Gallienne, has been added to the family list of artists by an exhibition of her latest paint- ings at her studio in the Latin Quarter, where she is a well known figure.
