' IS SUITED
Parity Between America and
Britain to be Reached
Before 1940
r
By C. P. WILLIAMSON
Meoolated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, Aug.
(AP) Naval equality or parity
between the United States and
Great Britain is expected in in
formed quarters here to be at
tained between 1934 and 1940.
The two nations have already
agreed upon the application of the
principle of parity to tne two ?a
1m and one of the most important
questions which Is now being dis
cussed between Ambassador Dawes
and Prime Minister MacDonald is
that of determining in what year
naval equality can best be ob
tained between the navies of the
two countries.
By 1940 under the present na
val building programs of the two
countries the British would have
a cruiser superiority of some 80,
600 tons. Prime Minister Mac
Donald, however, has suspended
work on the 10,000 ton cruisers
Surrey and Northumblerland and
If these are not completed the dis
parity would be reduced by 20,000
tons.
Decision Not Yet
Reached By Officials
No decision has been reached on
the year in which parity could
best be attained. Experts of both
countries have their own ideas on
this subject. Some contend that
the year 1936 when some 65,000
tons of small British cruisers laid
down between 1910 and 1916
would be completely obsolete
would-be a logical time to work
toward the securing of parity. If
these cruisers were not replaced
the tonnage basis by 1936 would
be approximately equal.
It has been emphasized, how
ever, that the buildiDg programs
of the two countries contemplate
different sizes of vessels, the
United States desiring the larger
type of 10,000 ton cruisers and
the British Empire while having
authorized one of these have also
authorized the. smaller 6,000 ton
cruisers.
Yardstick Declared
Necessary Feature
The theory of the yardstick
would necessarily have to be
brought into play to determine
the disparity in strength which
would naturally exist between
cruisers of different sizes.
The "yard stick" theory was an
Bounced by Hugh S. Gibson,
American ambassador to Belgium
and head of the American delega
tion to the league of nations pre
paratory disarmament commis
sion, as a method of determining
ielativ naval strength by consid
ering such questions as age, speed,
armor and gun power in addition
to mere tonnage.
It is considered possible here,
however, that a year other than
193 6 may be agreed upon. Con
siderations of how the two nations
would shape up in tonnage in that
year would not necessarily mean
the basis of an accord between
Great Britain and the United!
States. The two countries, how
ever, it was learned, have deter
mined that parity can be attained
between 1932 and 194.
No Agreement Yet
Kcaclu-d by Official
Reports that an agreement or
accord bad been reached on the
problem were described today as
premature, enrourat,ing progress
is being made in woking out the
principles in the whole question,
but these have not beon completed.
Details have not been discussed
.between the ambassador and the
premier, their conversations hav
ing been confined to the princi
ples involved in the question A
hopeful attitude toward the pros
pects for a settlement of the ques
tion is being expressed generally
i sere.
Ah agreement le:wern the
United States and Great Britain
on the basis factors is looked for-
ward to as a possibility within a j
matter of weeks. After the dis-!
cussions in London have been sat-j
isfactorily completed the other i
powers will be consulted with a '
view to a naval conferences

1930 Models Are Announced!
Harley-Davidson Line
Features Improvements
With the announcement of the
new models in the Harley-David-son
line, the public Is due for a
real surprise according to Harry
Scott, local dealer. The new mo
torcycles have a wealth of fea
tures designed to place motorcy
cling well to the fore in comfort,
convenience, ease o f operation
and economy.
The 1930 Harley-Davideon Big
Twin is an entirely new motorcy
cle throughout. Beginning with
the motor, which is radically dif
ferent from any Big Twin motor
heretofore manufactured, one's at
tention is directed to the ease of
access to the interior of the mo
tor by removing the genuine RI
cardo heads. This feature makes
the cleaning out of carbon depos
its a quick, easy matter. Although
having the same piston displace
ment as former Harley-Davidson
Big Twins, this new 1930 model
develops 16 per cent to 20 per
cent more power and speed has
likewise been increased.
Another marked advance fea
tured on the Big Twin, is the

demountable and interchangeable
wheels. This ingenious bit of en
gineering has caused much pleas
ed comment, and appeals espe
cially to those who use motorcy
cles for business and other pur
poses where lengthy delays for
tire changes are annoying and ex
pensive. Police departments are
expected to welcome this new fea
ture particularly.
Loosening a nut and slipping
out the axle permits the removal
of the demountable -wheels with
out disturbing any chain or brake
adjustments. Drop-center rims for
easy tire changing and larger bal
loon tires distinguish all models
in the 1930 Harley-Davidson line.
Wheels on the Big Twin and Big
Twin Sidecar are interchangeable
with each other.
Super strength frames and
front forks with specially heat
treated drop-forged sides are im
provements throughout the com
plete line of 1930 Harley-David-sons.
It Is stated that these ad
vancements increase the strength
of these important parts of a mo
torcycle 100 per cent if not more.
Unique and essentially practical
is an anti-theft lock, built into the
steering head of all the new mod
els. The owner has merely to turn
the front wheel of his motorcycle
at an angle, flip the key and it
cannot be stolen, since it is locked
in such a manner that it cannot
be ridden awaj.

OIL INDUSTRY NEARS
ITS 71 BIRTHDAY
TITU6VILLE, Pa. (AP) The
oil industry of the world will be
70 years old August 25.
The present tremendous indu
stry, witb. Us far flung refineries,
pipe lines and drilling operations
estimated to be worth $11,000,
000,000, bad its Inception near
here In 1S69, when Edwin
Drake drilled the first well, us
ing the equipment of a salt well
driller.
Drake died a ward of the state,
but in later years bis enterprise
and memory as a benefactor of
mai. id were perpetuated in two
monuments. One is In Woodlawn
cemetery here, where the bodies
of the first oil man and bis wife
are interred, and the other Is at
the eite of his well.
The marker at the well was
placed by the Daughters of the
American Revolution and bears a
bronze tablet with a likeness of
the well in relief and this inscrip
tion:
"This native boulder marks
the spot where, through the
foresight, energy and per
sistence of Edwin L. Drake,
the first well was drilled for
oil August 25, 1859. Oil was
found at a depth of 60 feet.
The great discovery inaug
urated the oil industry."
One of the men who aided
Drake in drilling the first well
is still living here. He is Samuel
B. Smith, whose father, William
B. Smith, owned and operated the
.salt weJl "Rig" that Drake secur

HICKEV1LLE, N. T.. Aug. 24
(AP) A young woman who
has attained the dignity of a col
lege degree and marriage to one
of the world's most famous men
without losing the air of being
still a little girl somewhat shy in
the presence of grownups walked
confidently beside her tall young
husband today to the side of a
waiting airplane.
He helped her in and she set
tled herself comfortably, for 6he
was accustomed to flying with
him, had for the matter of that
handled the controls for a total
of ten and a quarter hours herself
with him there to guide her.
But be told her suddenly this
morning that he was not going
with her this time, that she was
to fly alone. They looked at each
other gravely a moment, and then
smiled with mutual understand
ing. And so Mrs. Charles A. Lind
bergh opened the throttle and
roared the little plane across the
field and up into the air, the first
solo flight she bad ever made.

Mrs. Lindbergh rose to a safe
altitude, performed a graceful
figure eight, ud after a moment
dropped her pjftoe gently to earth.
Again she went up. stayed a few
minutes, and completed another
practice landing.
As she taxied across the field
for her third takeoff Cql. Lind
bergh walked back to the club
house with a smile of satisfaction
in the deminstration of aptitude of
his pupil in the element so nat
ural to him.
o Nervousness Shown
After Half Hour
While the colonel was making
some business telephone calls
Mrs. Lindbergh continued to fly
and land and fly again. She was,
altogether, In the air a little more
than half an hour, and at the
completion of her flying showed
no indication of nervousness.
The flying lessons and the solo
flight were carried on at the avi
ation country club's field with the
privacy which Col. Lindbergh has
sought so much since he became
famous and so seldom has found.
There were no reporters present
today, only a few friends and oth
er members and officials of the
club and it was only1" at second

learned what had happened.
