The discovery came when a large number of French firms accepted an invitation to show that models at an exhibition in New York. Their | finest work was sent across the At-! lantic in sealed coffers.

Large Area Inundated All territory between Okeechobee City and Bassenger, 20 miles to the north, was inundated. Part of La- bele was under water, and Micco Biuff, a community operated by a 101" Ranch” company, was flood- ed. The St. Andrew’s Bay Lumber Co. tracts were inundated in the Kissimniee area, forcing suspension and throwing 1,000 men out of work. Lake Okeechobee was slowly ris- ing, threatening an area to the °:|sl‘ as yet untouched. Whether that danger stage will be reached de- pends on rapidity of the approach of the next head of Kissimmee wa- ter now 100 miles upstate and the speed of drainage through the canals to the south. The Kissimmee meanwhile had cut a second channel into the lake which, wider than the Parent stream, wandered through a district of fertile farm lands.

New York, Aug. 15 (P —Fifteen vear old Mary Arenci walked into the East 104th street police statlou today and admitted that she had shot Sarferio Pantellena, a peddler nearly four times her age, as he sat on the porch of an East Side tene- ment last evening. Mary said ntellena had taken advantage of her. She fired five year old man, one of which took effect in his left side. He was taken to a hospital where his condition was said to be serious. After the shooting Mary told ge- tectives she went home to tell her mother. The family—there are three |other children—spent the night n a park, but this morning, with only ten cents for carfare, they all boara- |ed a trolley and went to the statign where Mary told her story. The girl contended that she was alone when Pantellena was shor. First reports to the police were that she had been accompanied by a man who had fired twice. WILKINS' FLIGHT CLOSELY WATCHED Important Data Will Be Obtain- ed, It Is Hoped Londen, Aug. 15 (UP)—Geo- graphers and meteorological experts are watching Sir Hubert Wilkins' preparations for his antiarctiy flight with the keenest anticipation. Experts in Great Britain and throughout the world hope that the hero of the first Trans-Polar flight in a heavier than air machine from Point Barrow, Alaska, to Spitzber- gen will succeed in obtaining im- portant information from the fast- nesses of the Antarctic continent. Sir Hubert believes that his re- searches south should be much more productive of results than similar He found no land near the North Pole on which a meteorological station could be es- tablished, whereas the known pres:. ence of land to the south renders this project likely. Although the North Polar seas are surrounded by a belt of cold, barren lands—Siberia, Alaska, etc.—the Antarctic continent is girdled by open seas to the north of which lie the fertile countries of Australia, w Zealand, South Africa and South America The abs barren belt of land is t cate a study of weather conditions in the Antarctic will be more pro- dvctive of results than has been found possible in the north. A plan is under way, which if car- ried out, will provide for meteorolog- ical collecting stations at Buenos ires, Melbcurne and Capetown. “ach of these stations will gather in- formation from four stations on the Antarctic continent or on nearby islands. These last named stations would employ airplanes and balloons to examine the weather conditions in the upper air. A head station in london would compile reports from the data thus gathered and it is thought, would be able to make rather accurate forecasts of south polar weather. The importance of an exact fore. cast, it is pointed out by experts can hardly be overestimated, For instance, the resultant saving to Australia from foreseeing a drought year wonld more than pay for the i tions. But before this work can be car- | ried out it will be necessary to ob- tain a more detailed knowledge of Antarctic geography. At the pres- ent time, the shores of Ross Sea, south of New Zealand, are fairly well known. Also King George V land to the west and King Edward VII land to the east are known.
