Hughes' Great Flight
TJ OWARD HUGHES and his crew
n 0f four completed their remark-
able flight around the world when
they landed at Floyd Bennett air-
port, New York, 3
days, 19 hours and
17 minutes after
starting from that
place. They had cov-
ered 14,824 miles
and made six stops
for refueling — at
Paris, Moscow,
Omsk, Yakutsk,
Fairbanks and Min-
neapolis.
They cut more
than three days off
—s— the record made by
Wiley Post in 1933, but Hughes said
after landing that he still consid-
ered Post’s solo flight was the most
remarkable job of flying ever done.
On the hop across the Atlantic
the time made by Lindbergh was
nearly halved.
With Hughes, wealthy sportsman
and aviator wrho financed and or-
ganized the flight, were Harry Con-
nor and Thomas Thurlow, naviga-
tors; Richard Stoddart, radio opera-
tor, and Ed Lund, flight engineer.
Hughes himself was at the con-
trols all the time, but said the robot
pilot did all the flying except the
takeoffs and landings. Much credit
also was given the automatic navi-
gator loaned by the army air corps.
The chief perils encountered were
on the flight to Paris, because they
had barely enough fuel to reach Le
Bourget airport; and the trip over
Siberia where they had to go to an
altitude of 17,000 feet and accumu-
lated much ice. Radio communica-
tion with the land was maintained
most of the time except for six
hours before Minneapolis was
reached. During that period their
transmitter was out of commission.
The monoplane, named “New
York World’s Fair, 1940,” was wel-
comed at New York by Mayor La
Guardia and Grover Whalen and a
tremendous crowd. The weary fli-
ers soon got to bed, but next day
the metropolis gave them one of its
customary ticker-tape receptions
with a parade. The wives of Stod-
dart, Connor and Thurlow were at
the airport to meet their husbands.
Katherine Hepburn, the movie star,
bade Hughes good-by when he start-
ed and welcomed him back. In Hol-
lywood it is rumored they are en-
gaged or possibly secretly married.
Another woman deeply interested in
the flight was Miss Elinore Hoag-
land of New York, fiancee of Ed
Lund.
Deficit to Be 4 Billions
N REVISED budget estimates for
the current fiscal year, given out
in Washington, the President fore-
cast a net federal deficit of $3,984,-
887,600, an increase of $2,525,639,500
over last year’s deficit and $3,035,-
000,000 more than he had estimated
in January for the 12 months end-
ing next June 30.
The deficit, which will increase
the gross public debt by $3,485,000,-
000, will be financed, the President
indicated, by a reduction of $500,-
000,000 in the working balance of
the treasury’s general fund; by the
use of $680,000,000 in special issues
of government obligations and by
$2,305,000,000 in new federal financ-
ing.
The gross deficit was estimated
at $4,084,887,700, in which is includ-
ed $100,000,000 for debt retirement.
The business slump, which grew
sharper after Roosevelt submitted
his budget estimates to congress
last January, was blamed by him
for the inaccuracies of his forecast^.
Japan Cancels Olympics
JAPAN evidently thinks the war
** in China is not near its end. The
Tokyo government has cancelled
the Olympic games of 1940, drop-
ping all plans to be the host of the
world’s athletes. The announce-
ment, made by Marquis Koichi
Kido, public welfare minister, sur-
prised even the Japanese organiz-
ing committee, and the members of
I
that body declared the games would
be held, “whether or not the gov-
ernment supports them.”
In Tokyo it was said the govern-
ment’s action was due to the cost
of financing the games and to mili-
tary leaders’ opposition to a growth
of nationalism among the Japanese
people.
Though the government lacks
money and materials for the neces-
sary sports structures, it had pre-
pared to contribute $1,250,000 to-
ward the cost, and only a few
days ago 40 men for the Japanese
football team were selected and
started training.
Count Michimasa Soyeshima,
member of the International Olym-
pic committee, said Japan might
bid for the 1948 games.
“I hope Japan can bid then,” he
said. ‘‘Apparently it is impossible
to bid even for the 1944 games.
The cancellation was inevitable un-
der the present circumstances.”
It was expected the international
committee w’ould meet soon to de-
termine the next move. London
and Helsingfors, Finland, were men-
tioned as possible sites for the 1940
games.
Senator Thomas Wins
\T ICTORY of Senator Elmer
* Thomas of Oklahoma in his fight
for renomination by the Democrats
was hailed by the New Dealers as a
direct result of the
campaign speaking
tour of President
Roosevelt. The Pres-
ident told the Okla-
homans what a help
the senator had
been to him and how
much he had done
for the state; and
he gavesome
:1VJ swipes to Thomas’
~ rivals, Governor
Sen. Thomas Marland and Repre-
sentative Gomer Smith. So the
Oklahomans picked Thomas by a
good majority. For governor they
named Leon C. Philips, much to the
disappointment of Alfalfa Bill Mur-
ray.
In the course of his trip across
the country, Mr. Roosevelt, in his
capacity of head of the Democratic
party, first boosted the cause of
Senator Barkley of Kentucky, his
staunch supporter, and cleverly
avoided hitting too hard at Gover-
nor Happy Chandler, who seeks
Barkley’s seat.
In Arkansas Mr. Roosevelt found
time to say kind words about Sena-
tor Hattie Caraway.
Passing through Colorado and Ne-
vada, he avoided politics in his talks,
for Senators Alva Adams and Pat
McCarren, both of whom have op-
posed some of his chief policies,
are mighty strong in their states.
Both of them boarded his train but
their reception was decidedly cool.
The President delivered the only
set speech on his program at the
San Francisco world’s fair adminis-
tration building. Ila then reviewed
the United States battle fleet of
66 vessels, and spent several hours
aboard the cruiser Houston. Next
day he spent in Yosernite National
park.
After three days in California
the President boarded the Hous-
ton at San Diego and went to the
Galapagos islands for some fishing.
Thence he was to pass through the
Panama canal and come back home
by way of the southeastern states,
Van Nuys Nominated
PPONENTS of Senator Freder-
ick Van Nuys of Indiana ac-
cepted defeat with wry faces. They
had intended that he should be
“purged” for his fights against New
Deal measures, but realized his
threatened independent candidacy
would split the party in the state
wide open, and also would injure
the presidential aspirations of Paul
V. McNutt. So Governor Town-
send invited the senator to present
his name to the state convention,
and other candidates withdrew.
Van Nuys was then perfunctorily
renominated without anyone saying
a good thing about him.

“an old man, broken and despair-

The world seems to have little heed-

wants to die in Clamecy, the vil»

The greatest novel of a cen-
tury, possibly of many cen-
turies, “Jean Christophe” has
been called by great critics
and multitudes of lesser lights.
It was published in 1913. This
writer has found few young per-
sons, even those majoring in
literature, who have read it.
He has found others who have nev-
er heard of Romain Rolland, the'
Nobel peace prize winner exiled
from his country, while Carl von
Ossietsky, German Nobel peace
prize winner, was impoverished,
jailed and harried to his death in
the same “years between.” There
is in this age swift obsolescence in
the spiritual heritage as well as in
machines.

Luxuries Available.
Lobsters, shrimp and clams are
now available in suburban eating
places, thousands of miles from wa-
ters in which they were caught. Lus-
cious commodities, formerly classi-
fied as “luxuries,” now adorn Main
street and Park avenue tables alike.
The old merchant, as an individu-
al buyer, did not have facilities for
purchasing anything but widely-used
staples. But introduction of efficient
methods of mass buying and distri-
bution enabled the grocer to en-
large his line and reduce prices.
Last year more than 141,000,000
pounds of spices were bought. These
included paprika, cinnamon, cara-
way and cardamom seed, cassia,
cloves, mustard, ginger, nutmeg,
mace and pimento.
The Grocer Has Them.
More than 7,000,000 pounds of
swordfish and sturgeon are con-
sumed annually, and 2,000,000

Tribal Apartment House
Is Excavated in Texas
CANYON, TEXAS. — The first
apartment houses on record in the
Panhandle of Texas have been ex-1
cavated on Antelope creek, north- i
east of Amarillo, officials of the 1
West Texas State Teachers college j
lave announced. Indian dwelling I
ruins, inhabited apparently about j
1300 A. D., have been found. Their |
excavation has proved definite rela-
tionships between the Pueblo tribes |
ulture of the Southwest and the I
ilains tribes culture farther east, |
according to the college.
One ruin now being excavated,
hrough co-operation of the Works j
Progress administration, contains
ibout 40 rooms. The walls are about
8 inches thick, plastered neatly
nside. They are covered with cot-
onwood logs and a thatch of brush
ind mud. Doors of each room are
bout three feet high, and there are
o windows. Most of the units con-
ain a fire pit. The rooms are about
0 feet square and are paved with
acked clay.
Refuse heaps show that the in-
abitants were hunters and agri-
ulturists. Numerous bones of buf-
ilo, deer, bison and antelope have
een excavated, indicating that the
’anhandle Indians ate an abun-
ance of meat in addition to their
rincipal vegetables—corn, beans,
quashes and tomatoes.
\l rlNSOME frock of chic silk
W print that makes you look your
prettiest, hat big of brim that brings
romance into the picture, it’s the
twosome that “does something for
you” and it’s exactly the type cos-
tume that is holding the spotlight in
the midsummer fashion scene.
Special emphasis is being placed
on the vogue of picturesque hats
that have a sentimental air that
tunes in charmingly with the witch-
ery of a brightly colorful, flattering
print gown. Which goes to show
that there is a trend to dross in
lovely-lady fashion. You will find
more and more as the summer
comes on that the “be pretty” mood
prevails throughout the mode.
The trio of charming summer cos-
tumes illustrated is convincing as
to the “prettiness” of current fash-
ions. The dress to the right in-
terprets a new version of the
dirndle in black and pink print silk
crepe. It is shirred at each side
to give moderate skirt fullness in
front with a slim back line. The
box shoulders emphasize smallness
of waistline, a feature especially
indicated in the newer dresses.
Wear black accents with this gown
for town and change to touches of
pink w'hen you go to your country
club. The black hair hat posed far
back on the head and flaring far
up in front is a foremost millinery
fashion. Even the new white felt
tailored shapes have this upward
off-face movement.
A word about black and pink. As
the season advances costume after
costume favors this combination. It
gives a pretty effect indeed, when
the dress of pink and black print
is enhanced with pink costume jew-
elry, perhaps adding a girdle sash
of soft pink suede with possibly a
pink suede bolero.
A lovely midsummer sheer cen-
ters the group. This nrirted blue
and white silk chiffon C 1 ess has
the new square neck . Watch
necklines! Designers are iving a
lot of attention to them, introducing
novelty in lowcut fanciful outlines
that impart an entirely new char-
acter to the styling of blouses and
gowns. Note also the horizontal
tucked bodice and the skirt pleats
released below the hips. And the
big flower-trimmed leghorn hat.
Wide brims and colorfully patterned
prints play a charming duet in the
fashion picture.
For an afternoon ensemble select
a bayadere silk chiffon dress in
rainbow colors, together with a
navy wool full-length unlined coat,
such as pictured to the left. Take
note of the hatpin on the merry]
widow black straw hat with its
crown of taffeta bows and horse-
hair brim.
Speaking of wide brim hats to
wear with print silks the latest
models are taking on tremendously
high crowns that taper toward the
top in early Pilgrim fashion. The,
leghorns of this type are especially
attractive. For the most part their
trimming is confined to ribbon
bands with streamers down the
back.

ACCENTS OF SUEDE
By CIIERIE NICHOLAS
Receding Chins Are Now
Corrected by Operations
PHILADELPHIA.—An operation
sed by dental surgeons to correct
utting or receding chins was de-
cribed at Temple university den-
al school at a program celebrating
he school’s seventy-fifth anniver-
ary.
Dr. James R. Cameron, professor
if oral surgery, said the operation
vas known technically as resection
if the ramus, the short “handle”
if the lower jaw which locks with
he upper jaw in front of the ear.
The ramus is cut horizontally
ind the jaw moved forward or back-
ward as much as a half inch, then
he teeth are wired together until
the bones knit, according to Doc*
tor Cameron.
31ocks From All States
Used in Forming Quilt
CLEVELAND. — A “friendship”
juilt composed of 48 blocks, each
Ramped with the autograph and
iddress of a woman from each of
the 48 states has been completed
jy Mrs. Eleanor Stech.
Mrs. Stech said it took her almost
4even years to make the quilt bc-
jause it was not easy to find some-
one in every state who would send
her an autographed quilt block.
“When it came to the one from
Arizona, for instance, I had to get
a friend who had a friend in Arizona
who would make an exchange.”
She had to send everything from
gladioli bulbs to .somethin * for a
new-born baby in return for a quilt
block
Now that designers have sensed
the vast possibilities suede offers to
the fashion field and now that suede
has been so scientifically treated
that it is rendered thoroughly fab-
riclike, there’s just no end to the
exciting things being done with it.
For instance, this lovely silk print
summer costume, posed by Lucille
Ball, radio player, is greatly en-
hanced with a girdle sash of grape
colored suede with streamers of
matching suede on the attractive
wide-brim hat.
Milliners Are Featuring
Button Bonnets Just Now
Milliners are featuring “button
bonnets” this season. They are as
fashionable for “big sisters” to
wear as they are for the tiny mem-
bers of the family. They are made
of pique, sharkskin, printed linens
and such. While the new button
bonnets ore as pretty as a picture
and os chic as can be, they are
something more than mere eye teas-
ers for they are practical to the
nth degree, in that they are made
to unbutton at will so as to lay out
perfectly flat. Which means you
can launder them easily and when
buttoned back into shape they look
like brand new millinery. Flatten
them out by unbuttoning and they
pack without taking up room—ideal
for week-end trips.
STRAPLESS BRA IS
GOOD STYLE NEWS
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Here is good news, it’s about
the strapless brassiere designed to
wear with the very fashionable
strapless evening gown. It is made
of net or lace with drawstring at
the top and is boned just enough to
keep it up without the aid of straps
over the shoulders. Solves the prob-
lem of what to wear under that
transparent blouse or dress in the
daytime where one must do away
with unsightly straps to look well
groomed. Try the new strapless
bra under your costume slip in
the daytime and you will be delight-
ed at the nicety and neatness it af*
fords.
White for “Undies” Latest
On Calendar of Fashions
If you are casting about for “un-
dies” that express the ultimate in
chic, be style-alert by asking to
sec the latest creations in white
“nighties” and slips or foundation
garments and corsetry. A vogue for
pure white is down on the calendar
of new fashions.
Also there is a sentiment gaining
to use fine wash materials, such as
choicest of nainsooks and batistes
and handkerchief linens, dimities
and a whole list of the quaint, beau-
tiful wash fabrics that again have
come into their own.
You will have joyous surprises,
too, in the styling of the various
garments. For instance a dainty
bed-jacket is made of white batiste
with vertical rows of embroidery
beading with the traditional “baby
ribbon” run through and val lace
edgings for trim.
White rayon satin corsets and
foundations that slenderize one to
a finish are also in promise.
Terry Cloth Retains Its
Popularity on the Beach
The introduction of many new cot-
ton fabrics fails to check the popu-
larity of terry cloth when it comes
to beach attire. Coats and capes
of the toweling continue to be fea-
tured, the most striking version be-
ing a two-toned striped pattern. Bold
contrasts such as bright navy or
black with white present the theme
to best advantage. Jacket-like
blouses that have been dubbed
“night shirts,” are made of white
terry cloth and take the place of
longer coats for beach wear.
