ESTABLISHED 1870 EAST SWELTERS IN HEAT; LIVES LOST Rllt;de Island Town Reports Temperature of 10 THO DIE IN NEW YORK Beveral Lose Lives by Drowning— West Suffers Equally With East But Gets Thunder Storms to Break Wave, New York, Aug. 4.—®—The At- lantic seaboard states today were eweltering in the third day of a heat wave that already has taken sever lves and caused tions. In New York city two deaths oc- curerd directly attributable to the heat; in Boston and vicinity three; in Frovidence, R, L, two and in Erle, Pa., one. Several persons lost through drowning in attempte to escape intensive heat, while light- ning was responsible for others. The highest tempcrature in the east was reported from Limerock, R I, where the thermometer recorded 102 degrees, New York had a high mark of 90, Philadelphia 93, Trenton, N. J, 94 and Boston 95. The humidity at New York was 84 at 8 a. m. and remained high throughout the day, Storms in upstate New York and in Connecticut caused much damage but did little to relieve the heat. Thousands of dollars damage was caused by a thunderstorm at Am- sterdam, N. Y., and the light and power service of Waterbury, Conn., was demoralized when lightning struck a high tension power line during a severe thunderstorm. A mill was forced to close down at Springfield, Mass., because of the heat and many Dbusiness houses throughout the east closed early to allow their employes to eeek relief at their homes or at the beaches. Storms Oceur Chicago, Aug. 4.—(P—A two-day torrid epell that took 20 lives has been partly broken in the middle- west by violent thunder storms. The relief was more damaging than the heat in the vicinity of Benton Harbor and St. Joscph, Mich., where high winds that acom- panied yesterday's late afternoon numerous prostra- their lives storm unroofed some buildings and | 1*® felled trees and poles. A temperature of 94 degrees, the highest of the year in Chicago, was recorded at 4 p. m. yesterday, to be followed within a few minutes by a downpour which had washed the mercury down into the upper sixties early today. | Drownings and heat prostrations | acocunted for most of the deaths in | Chicago. There was one death by electrocution during last night's thunderstorm. The heat was general throughout the entire midwest, Ohio, Missouri, Indiana and Michigan reporting temperatures in the nineties. Most of the resort sections, filled with va- cationers hunting surcease from tor- ridity, had their share of heat, ex- cept in Northern Michigan, Wiscon- sin and Minnesota, where tempera- tures were moderate. Today's forecast was for thunder- storms over much of the forecast area, and cooler weather. Girl Killed Toronto, Ont., Aug. 4 P—A fif- teen year old girl was killed and a woman injured by lightning last night in Toronto's worst electrical #torm of the year. Power and tele- phone lines were damaged, and three persons were injured in acci- dents attributed to the storm. Eleven buildings, including St Michael's cathedral and electric sub station, were struck by lightning. Damage to the power station plunged the entire east end | of the city into darkness and halted street car traffic in that section. The rural districts reported heavy crop damage, houses and trees struck by lightning, power houses | and roads inundated. Dorothy Kennedy, 15. of Dixie was Killed by lightning while stand- Ing on a ladder in her father's barn. Mrs. Charles Good who lives across the etreet from the Kennedy's was struck while closing a window. The bolt burned her left arm leaving it partly paralyzed and rendered her specchless. Her eyesight was elso affected. She will recover. her doc- tor said, but her speech and sight | will be impaired.

Wants Stabiiity The important nceds of agriculture he said are not that it should sct the pace to the rest of the nation, nor even that its members should in- crease in wealth as fast as the runks of industry and commerce, - but rather that as a group of industries it should attain comparative econ- omic stability, that the individual standard of living should rise solutely, and that the group con- sciousness of agriculture should achieve content.

Weather Better | With weather conditions more |favorable than at the start of the miles i tatlantic flight from Paris to New York ‘Thursday morning, Majors Louis dzikowski and Kasikir Kubala were expected to reach the North American coast this afternoon. After leaving the French coast, the fliers had planned to cross over the Azores and then to head toward Halifax or Bermuda, depending jupon weather conditions. They were ot sighted over the Azores last !night, but a biplane, belleved to be itheir machine, was seen by the | steamship Aztec the archipelago. “All Scems Well” “All ssemed well.” was the word radiced by the Aztec. The Valentia wircless station |this morning announced that it had 1eceived a message from the Brit- lish steamer Port Hunter which was relaying a message intercepted from Ithe Aztec. The message read: ! “Biplane passed this morning, {latitude 44.22 north, longitude 24.08 {west, in the direction 75 degrees at 2:40 Greenwich time. Machine dis- appearing over the water. All seem- ed well.” The Aztec, a Norwegian tank steamer, left Curacoa on July 31 for England. Her captain's message | would indicate that the plane pass- ed the vesscl on the quarter east Ly north. To Pass Over Lanes Alrmen said that this morning the fliers should be over the steamer lanes and that something was like- {1y to be heard of them from some vessel. Reports of fog along the Grand Banks, it was thought, might cause them to abandon theip intention of going by way of New- foundland and they might head straight for New York from a point 1,400 miles to the east of metropolis. On this route they would meet no adverse weather conditions. lazikowski before the start seemed determined, however, to head for Newfoundland despite the possibility of fog. “If we should overfly the Canadian coast on account of fog or bad visi- {bility.” he said, “we shall turn south as soon as we make out land, even if we are far inland. It is New York itself that we want to reach.” 58 Hours in Atr The airmen were sure they could stay in the air for 56 hours with the fuel they carrfed. The last drop of this would be gone at 7:45 a. m., castern standard time, tomoerow. | They thought they would cover be- 200 miles north of continued on their course and the plane had a cruising radlus of more than 5,000 miles, “We are thinking of our flight joniy in terms of success,” Major Tdzikowski said. Success or Nothing “Such a flight means suceess or {nothing. There's no use trying to foresce everything. If an accldent happens, the chances are ninety-nine out of a hundred we are done for. “We are simply going ahead with- iout considering the possibility of failure. { No radio will ever send out an 8 O 8. from the Marszalek Pllsud- ski. The airmen felt that a st would be heavier than it was val- uable, | "A wirele set would slow ns np [too much* Major Kubala ex- plained. “And it seldom works well on an airplanc. We have astimated jthat its weight would limit our | cruising radium by 160 miles, {_ “We-are taking a collapsible rub- ber boat. But it is not much of a guarantee. We hardly rely on it: it takes too long to pump it up. We should be drowned long before we were able to use it.” | The Lorraine-Diertich 650.hgrse- 1 power motor upon which they stak- ed their lives is the third built up for them after careful experiments in the same model. It did not have a very auspicious beginning. The first one was badly shaken by the terrific vibration and the aviators were forced down on a trial fiight at Abbeville, France.
