t
New York, June 29.—(AP)—Rich
ard E. Byrd's Hying test tube, the
[ monoplane America, was on !ts way
} to France tonight on the first scien
j tific adventure in non stop ocean
} Might.
the America was south of the New
foundiand coast at 2:55 o'ciock,
Eastern daylight time, this afternoon,
nine hours and 31 minutes after leav
I ing Roosevett Field at 5:24 this morn- i
! ing. Reports on her speed were con-1
tiicting. the Associated Press iog
; showed nearly 100 miles an hour. Tne i
I flight over Nova bcotia was covered in i
, one hour better time than tnat made
j by Charles A. Linaoergh, m the Spirit
] or St. Louis.
The scientist-aviators who manned
; the America were conducting, as they
: flew, technical experiments which
j promised to aid the advancement of j
j commercial flying m the days to
! come and as tney experimented,
[radioed to their friends ashore their
, progress, observations and greetings !
j—an accomplishment in itself new to
j oceanic aviation.
{ That others may fly in safety later
^ on, Byrd and his tnree companions
faced the dangers of uncharted winds
to wrest the secrets of the elements
out of the region where storms are t
brewed.
The purpose of the flight, over an t
air trail already blazed by two planes
primarily interested in speed and dis
tance, was the study of atmospheric
conditions over the ocean at differ
ent altitudes.
It was planned to attempt to for- j
niulate some broad general rules by I
which aviators may be able to sub
jugate the winds to a condition of
servitude, and to make allies out of
storms which at present are the air- j
man's principal enemies.

FIRE DOES $500 DAMAGE
At BAKER SANATORIUM
Biate Thought to Have Started from
Biectric Iron Gains Big Headway
in Laundry, Doing Damage to
Machinery, Nurses' Clothing and
Buiiding—-Fire Department Does
Fine Work.
Fire thought to have started from
an electric iron did damage estimated
by Dr. H. M. Baker at $500 to the
laundry room of the Baker sanator
ium in Lumberton in the early morn
ing hours Tuesday.
The blaze was discovered at 5:45
a. m. At that time it was breaking
though the top of the building, and
the whole washing and ironing room
of the laundry was a mass of flames.
The Lumberton fire department made
a quick response over the 15 blocks
that divided the burning building
from the town hall, a strtng of hose
was laid to the nearest hydrant, and
the flames were soon under control
before they reached the drying room,
which adjoined and of which the door
was oPcn. Had the door of this room
been ciosed, Fire Chief Ed J. Glover
thinks the fire would have been put!
out without any damage at all to this
room. As it was, the contents were
damaged by water only. The whole in
side of the laundry room was burned
over, and the fire went through the
top enough to damage part of the
roof. The equipment was greatly
damaged but is not considered a total
loss. The boiler room, only 10 feet
away, did not catch. The greatest loss j
was to the nurses clothing.
Workmen began Tuesday morning
tearing off the woodwork that was
burned over, and the building will be
repaired at once. ,
