One of the first to greet her as
she carne aboard the Riverside was
Elinor Smith, who had herself been
planning a transatlantic solo flight
when Miss Earhart beat her to It:
Miss Earhart said the five hours'
blind flying she was compelled to
mike had been to her the highlight
of the flight in that she found
that she could fly blind that long.
Some ono asked her what she
thought about during her night alone
over the Atlantic.
"You don't have time to think
much at least not about yourself
with rclutlon to your plane," she
said. "If you start thinking about
yourself It's fatal."

most Instantly.
The Jury which tried young Hill for
matricide. 61s agreed, but the case Is
still on the docket for re-trial, hav
ing lain dormant for several years

for several years, he held a private ,
plIot'B license, and twice had been
injured In airplane mishaps within
tho past year and half.

mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Hill was

a Streator eye, ear and nose specialist
and Mrs. Hill were divorced a short
time before she was slain. Dr. Hill

BOSTON' WOOL
BOSTON, June 20 (VP) Increased
confidence In wool values is Indi
cated by the diminished pressure to
sell and the movement recently of
fair weights of a few lines of wool at
currently quoted prices. Encourage
ment has been stimulated by the
willingness of an occasional woo!
buyer to submit bids above the pre
vious low offers. The greater interest
of manufacturers tends to confirm
rumors on Increasing wool machinery
activity. Receipts of domestic wool
here during the week ending June
18. eBtlmated by the Boston grain
and flour exchange, amounted 14,
350,000 lbs, compared to 4,-456,80!)

new contingents were pouring rn, and
an aggressive recruiting drive aided
by the wide-spread work that the

appeared to be bearing some results.
The lack of an Immediate objective,
however, was helping stir friction, in
the ranks. A disgruntled former com
