-7 TURNED BACK VB FIERCE STORM Goste and Bellonte fo Brave Rockies Again Today Denver, Colo., Sept. 24 (A—The =storm-ridden crest of the Rockies, responsible for the first hitch in their good will tour, flung a fresh challenge today at Capt. Dieudonne Coste and Maurice Bellonte, French transatlantic fliers. The airmen, forced to abandon the Salt Lake City leg of their flight yesterday by a snow storm and ter- rific gale over the tontinental di- vide, tentatively set 5 a. m., M. 8. T. for the resumption of their aerial jaunt begun in New York, Sept. 15. In announcing plans for their second attempt to fly the scarlet ses- quiplane, Question Mark, to Salt Lake City, Captain Coste said the choice of routes depended on weath- er conditions. The French ace was advised be- fore his takeoff yesterday to fy north to Cheyenne and thence west to his destination, traversing the air mail route. Forced Back By Storm The flier decided, however, to pit his skill against the hazards that lurked among the snow-capped peaks jutting into the sky. Returning three hours after their takeoff the French fliers said at times the storm encountered over the continental divide threatened to tear to pieces the sturdy plane which carried them in safety across the Atlantic. The loss of a day caused by the interruption of their schedule, prob- ably will be accounted for by cut- ting down their stay in Los Angeles from two days to one, Coste said.

Russell, famed under his pen “AE," will spend the next six months giving lectures in which he will advocate adherence to the soil. His theory of agriculture concerns not so much statistics, production, consumption and such scientific terms used by “experts,” but is more interested in the philosophical as- pect. “After three and four generations in cities the population tends to de- teriorate and there is a retrocession to animal functions alone,” the phi- Associated Press Photo GEORGE RUSSELL losopher said in his soft and beauti ful Irish accent. “People who live in | the open air get an original rude strength which d4s impossible in cities." Russell will address rural groups in various parts of the country in the hope of keeping them away from cities and slums, devil dwells in a dark room,” stay on their farms and strength needed by the race. Farm Labor Aids Health “Agrictulural labor brings out the best in man, mentally and physical- " the sage continued. “Not so Jong ago I saw a laborer in Ireland breaking stone along the roadside. He was like the figure of Adam in Michael Angelo's fresco in the Sistine Chapel in Rome. A few days later I saw in Lancanshire peo- ple with sunken cheeks and hollow eyes — nice people, but entirely out of the circle of natural living. “We are a dying fire, you are a beginning. It is to the interest of a nation to preserve its agricultural lite at or above 20 per cent. If you have a country 90 per cent urban 10 per cent on the farms you are going to have trouble.” Russell quoted an American farm authority to the effect that the av- erage income of the millions of farm dwellers in this country is 3650 a year. This low figure. and not a lack of appreciation of rural life, is responsible for the migration to urban centers, in his estimation. Ireland Now Advancing Ireland, he said, has settled down to peace after years of struggle, and is advancing. Schooling has been made compulsory to the age of 16, do “with the ignorance that has kept Ireland back for generations.” The country is stable, financially sound, and going ahead with its great pro- jects such as the utilization of elec- tric power from the river Shannon, famed in song and story.

SCIENTISTS PEEK AT NEW NEBULAE Use Largest Telescope in World to View Stars Pasadena, Calif., Sept. 24 (UP)— The nation’s leading scientists gazed through the world's largest tele- scope today and discused astro- nomical problems dealing with the structure of the universe. An all-night session was held at Mount Wilson observatory, closing a two-day meeting of the National Academy of Sciences at which ex- periments ranging in scope from the atom to the largest star were reported. Dr. Robert A. Millikan, head of the California Institute of Technol- ogy and discoverer of the cosmic ray, turned aside from the highly technical subjects espoused by most of the savants and revealed experi- ments which he believes may solve the noise nuisance of high speed traffic. Experiments on Plans Dr. Millikan said Dr. H. Bate- man, a co-worker, had experiment- ed with the motion of a solid in a compressible fluid, especially asto the effect of an airplane wing in flight. A mass of mathematical for- mulas enter the subject and Dr. Millikan said they pointed the way to progress in this fleld. Dr. Calvin Bridges of the Carne- gie Institution, experimenting with a small tropical fly, announced im- portant discoveries regarding chro- mosomes. These are found in the cells of all living things and are credited with determination of sex. Dr. Bridges sad he had concluded that if the number of chromosomes in a body were cut in half the in- dividual would be a female. A discovery that kidney diseases can be determined by changes in | the blood was repprted by Dr. Hen- | ry Borsook, who has a thermo- dynamic analysis of a kidney func- | tions as an aid to the medical pro- fession. Data on New Nebulae In the astronomical field, data on newly discovered nebulae were sub- mitted by Dr. Edwin Hubble of Mount Wilson. He determined that the average luminosity of these bodies was 1,000,000 times that of the sun and velocities away from | the earth were almost 7,500 milés a second. : Dr. John Campbell Merrian; head of the Carnegie institution at Wash- ‘xnglon. D. C., contributed a paper | describing the Pacific south west as a field containing the most abun- dant evidences in America of an- | clent man.

G. Woods and Teofil Gai- da, proprietor of a club at 287 Broad street paying 150 and costs. Grabowski conducts a store at 219 High street and a police squad seized a small amount of alleged liquor there last Saturday. As to the reputation of the place there was little evidence in possession of the police, the prosecuting attorney said, and it was Grabowski's first offense. He was represented by At- torney B. J. Monkiewicz and plead- ed guilty. Gaida pleaded nolo contendere through Attorney Harry M. Gins- burg, and Prosecuting Attorney Woods made no recommendation as to penalty. He sald there was a front door bell at the club and the police had information that fac- tory employes had been patronizing the place for the past two months. When Sergeants Feeny, Flynn and McAvery broke in two doors last Saturday they found Glada alone and he heaped abuse upon them, us- ing language which the prosecuting attorney classed as unfit for the court to hear. There was a gallon can filled with alleged alcohol place and Gaida accused the raid- partly ers of “planting” it to bring about Wood | his conviction, which, Mr. said, was untrue. There were four empty pint bottles, several glages and a funnel taken by the police and offered in court. Attorney Ginsburg was in court as a first against the liquor law and the club, having been in operation only two months, could not have acquired a reputation of any extent.

He had a one-ring circus all his own, and was ring master, clown and brass band. He held a large crowd of spectators, his ighbors, spellbound while he was performing. The circus started about 4 o'clock when Holmes, who, it is said, had imbibed too much hard cider, push- ed his wife and children out of the tront door and bolted the door. He wanted to make sure that they would not return, so bolted the rear door, too. To make doubly sure of not being disturbed, he rolled tables and chairs against the doors, and upon a kitchen table which bar= ricaded the rear door he placed sev- eral jars of canned fruit, newly made ketchup and other foodstuffs, so that the table would be well weighted down. “Just Wants to Talk" After being securely barricaded, Holmes went to the telephone, and central asked, ij a pleasant voice, “Number, please.” “I don’t want a number. I just want to talk to somebody,” replied Holmes. He\hung up, and about 15 min- utes later repeated the stunt in ex= actly the same manner, using the same words. After this had happened about a dozen times, from about 4:30 until atter 8 o'clock, a supervisor in the telephone exchange called Constable Ray Halleran and told him the ad- | dress whence the calls were coming. | Constable Halleran found Constable Harold Whitney and both went to the Holmes home. The tried to enter and could not. Halleran then forced | his way into the kitchen and in do- ing so overturned the Kitchen table, and the canned peaches, Kketchup and food fell to the floor.
