As soon as dinner was over the girls made a bee-line for the old swim-min- hole. Three of the girls sur prised the rest ot their crowd byj their exhibition of swimming. No one had suspected them of this ability, but they Informed their friends that that was one of the things they had learned at the 4-H club camp at Deweese.

At 2:20 the plane carrying the school teacher as a passenger, was re ported passing Point Lobos. Oklahoma thirst In Air.

The Oklahoma was the first to take the air. It taxied to the starting line, started down the even runway and left the ground just at noon. Goddard's El Etichanto was at the post next. It lurched down the runway and. the crowd gave a gasp as it veered off the path at the 4,500 foot mark and turned over cracking one wing off.

A cheer went up when both Gaddard and Hawkins crawled out. There was a short delay and then LMajor Irving gave his Pabco flyer the gun. He roared down the stretch, but was unable to get more than a few feet off the ground. He taxied back, re-fueled and on his second take-off, "cracked up" at the end of thelane Irving emerged from his cabin with tears in his eyes, exclaiming, "Now it's impossible for me to take-off."

SS' 8 the Oklahoma came back shortly arter lu take-off and after circling about the field a few times to be sure that the runway was dear, It lanaea safely. Great crowds surged about the runway and shrieked, gasped and cheered as the starters succeeded or failed to take the air from the T.OO0 foot runway.

Police struggled to hold them back. The "Miss Doran" developed motor trouble at 800 feet and turned back from the Golden Gate. The young passenger, was smiling when she stepped from the machine, apparently a trifle unnerved and disappointed. Mechanics began to work feverishly and succeeded In getting the entry back into the air at 2:03 o'clock. Deafening applause rose from tht spectators when the teacher was seen to walk from the group of friends and climb Into her cabin, waving and smiling in response the tribute paid her.

The forced landing had not frightened her. Ships on Lookout, As the first plane tok off, word was radioed out to ships at sea to be on their guard and report sight or wireless word of them. All the planes in the air were monoplanes with the exception of Pedlar's. His was a biplane. Work was being rushed late today on Ihe badly ripped under fuselage of the Dallas Spirit where it was blown from the" framework shortly after It started.

Little was said about the Oklahoma. Men were working on the ship and questioners could only surmise by the Intensity of their efforts that the plane would not abandon the race. The two crashes were spectacular and strangely devoid of fire. Elaborate preparations had 'been made by field officials to handle a fierce gasoline fire for it was ber lieved that If a plane crashed In the take-off. It stood little chance of escaping being burned.

'The' mishap to Irving's plane came when the craft lifted a few feet from the ground but could not gain altitude. It was more a long hop than a rise.

When it struck the ground, it tipped and the right wing was crumpled against the ground. Irving's wife tried to cheer him fn the face of blasted ambition to be the first solo filer to the islands. 1 JAPAN SUK BOOMS WHEAW Added Farming of Worms Brings Cut in Bice Crop With De mand Resulting.

RATE CUT PUT OFF Interstate Commerce Commission Issues Suspension Order in 'Railroad Hearing of (taction Eequeit WASHINGTON, Aug. JP) A suspenslcli order Uaued today by the interstate commerce commis sion destroyed all hope for a reduction this season In lake cargo coal rates for the. West Virginia, Ten nessee, Kentucky, and Virginia mining territory.

The Norfolk Western, Chesapeake 4 Ohio, and Louisville and Nashville railroads, which had proposed on Aug. to apply a 20 cent per ton reduction to coal originating in that territory when consigned to great lakes ports for cargo purposes, were ordered to maintain their present schedules unchanged at least until March 28. In the meantime, the commission will institute an investigation to determine whether the, reduction or any part of It should be allowed to become effective. The suspension marked another stage in the prolonged controversy between northern and southern bi tuminous coal operators over the great lakes cargo trade, which provided an outlet for upwards' of 000,000 tons of coal a year. Northern operators were successful last June, over the protest of the southern group In obtaining a 20 cent per ton reduction in railroad rates on lake cargo coal originating In Ohio and Pennsylvania.

The com mission also held that the southern railroads would not be justified in cutting their schedules to meet this reduction which became effective Aug. 10. Notwithstanding this expression irom me commission the principal southern railroads concerned In the lake cargo traffic after conference with the mine operators of the southern territory determined to attempt to meet the northern rate cut. schedules. Incorporating 20 percent per ton.

reductions, were niea witn tne commission July 28, and immediately protests came to the commission from both branches of the coal industry. The northern operators asserted the southern cut was aimed at removing an advantage from the northern producers, and that it was a disregard of the commission's finding after full investiga tion. The southern mine Interests declared that the lake cargo trade would be lost for them completely by the northern rate advantage. ANOTHER JOP BY JUJiKERS QUESTION (Continued from Pace One.) eluded as the plane actually started for America and no guaranty to reach the United States was given. One of the directors' of the Junkers works today said 1 hat.

the prospects of another attempt at a trans-Atlantic flight were extremely slight because of the advanced season. At the present, time, the experi ence gained by thetwenty-two hour flight of the Bremen which carried her to Ireland is being investigat- ea Dy tne junners tecnmcai Doara and the decision to make another attempt will depend largely on these findings. 'ine omciai report of the Bremen's flight states that when heavily ballasted the Bremen southwest of Cork, was unablo to contend against a western Atlantic gale, being obliged to fly at full speed. The pilots and passengers thereupon decided to return at 6:15 arriving at Dessau after completing a flight of twenty-two hours and three minutes with a fuel copsump-. lion or Half the entire fuel carried.

The Miss Doran, carrying the twenty-two year old "flying school teacher" of Flint, as a passenger, piloted by John "Auggy" Pedlar, and navigated by Lieut. Vilas R. Knope of the San Diego Naval Air station, was not- equipped with radio and started across the sea with the understand In.g, that communication could be the only method of checking with ships enroute.

I Replacement of spark plugs and other hasty repairs delayed the plane more thanan hour, but the school-teacher, her pilot, J. "Auggy" Pedlar, and navigator, Vilas R. Knope, climbed Into their seats and took the air safelyon the -second attempt. Lead By Hour and Half The other three plane's in the air, with a lead of about an hour and a half, were blessed with the good luck of beautiful take-offs.
