POISON DUST FOR

ual extermination of the malaria
spreading mosquito and his less
dangerous, but pesky brethren Is
aeen by Public Health Service au
thorities In recent results of air
plane dusting experiments In the
swampy areas near Bamburg, 8. C.
These experiments have demon
strated the value of the airplane
in spreading parts green over large
marshes and swamps where drain
age or other methods of eradica
tion are Impracticable. Navy planes
with dusting equipment were flown
ever the South Carolina swamps re
leasing the poisonous powder over
the mosquitoes' breeding places. At
least 90 percent of the larvae, the
investigators estimated, were killed.
The effectiveness of parts green
as a weapon against mosquitoes de
pends on several facta discovered by
the scientists working on the pro
blem. The larvae, deposited In stag
Bant water by the insects, come to
the surface and turn on their sides
to obtain food and air. It la there
. tore desirable that the poison used
to kill them will float.
Paris green, which contains arse
nic, will stay dry and remain on
the surface of water at least two
hours. In that time the larvae can
be expected to come to the top at
least once and are almost certain
to receive a death dealing dose.
The method is Just as effective
gainst salt marsh mosquitoes as
gainst the malaria spreading va
riety, and by repeating the treat
men over a period of years the au
thorities believe that a nearly 100
percent destruction can be attained.

DM HELEN TERRY
FAMED ACTRESS DEAD
- (Continued from Page 1)
Henrv Irving constituted one of the
most brilliant periods of the English
stage.
She was almost as weu known in
the United States where she was
presented by Charles Frohman as in
her native Britain, naving tourea it
10 times and considering It ner sec
ond home. In her tours of America
she was greeted as a queen and a
monster Jubilee In 1906 was cele
brated In honor of the half-century
of her connection with the stage.
She was married three times.
She was personally acquainted
with many of the great personages
of the Victorian era, Including Dis
raeli, Gladstone and Tennyson,
Autograph hunters pursued her
everywhere and she finally capital
ized the situation for the sake of
charity by. charging a shilling for
each autograph and turning the
money Into maintenance of a cot In
a children's hospital.
VICTORIA SAW DEBUT
Queen Victoria witnessed Miss
Terry's stage debut at the age of
eight, and thought so much ol ner
r-lstronlo ability that -years later she
'commanded ' her nresen.ee at 8aa-
dringham Palace where she pre
formed for the queen and the future
King Edward VII.
King George v created Miss Terry
a Dame Grand Cross of the British
Empire In 1925. St, Andrews uni
versity honored her with the degree
of Doctor ol Laws.
Miss Terry's outstanding roles
were those of Portia and Ophelia al-
tnougn sne made remarkable por
trayals of Juliet, Beatrice, Desde-
mona, Margaret, Lady MacBeth,
Rosamund, Guinevere, Imogen,
Olivia and Madam Bans-Gene. Her
great triumph came In 1875
Portia . under the management of
the Bancrofts and her fame was
firmly founded three years later
when she played Ophelia to the
Hamlet of Sir Henry Irving.
Her last stage appearance was in
the aid of charity when on January.
is, 1933 she spoke the prologue to
"The York Nativity Play" at the
League of Arts Guildhouse, London.
After that she virtually retired to
her home at Burleigh Mansions,
London, where she spent the declin
ing years of her life surrounded by
her friends and loved ones and
basking in the glory of her dramatic
honors. ;
Miss Terry was born February 37,
1848 at Coventry In Warwickshire,
almost In the heart of the Shakes
peare country she was destined to
represent so well. -
Her parents were Benjamin Terry
and Sarah Ballard (Terry,) provin
cial players of prominence. Her
father, an associate of Charles Kean
and William Macready, gave Ellen
her elemental training In the tech
nic of the stage.
FAMILY IB FAMOUS
Probably no family In the history
of the modem stage can count so
many men and women possessing a
high - order of hlstrohlc ability
among Its members. Kate Terry,
Ellen's eldest sister, was one of the
leading emotional actresses of the
Victorian era. Ellen was the second
daughter. Her next sister, Marian
Terry, made her debut In 1(71 and
became a noted English actress.
Florence Terry, youngest of the four
sisters, went on the stage In 1870 In
Charles Reade'a version of Mollere's
"La Maladle Imaglnalre." She died
In 1194.' There were two brothers.
Charles Terry became a prominent
theatrical manager and had a
daughter, Minnie who became
prominent in Juvenile roles. Fred
Terry also met with success on the
stage.
Ellen made her first appearance
as a child on April 38, 18M, playing
with Charles Kean In "The Winters
Tale" at the old Princess's theater
of London. Queen Victoria, Prince
Albert and the Princess Royal were
in the audience and so Ellen Terry
really began and ended her stage
career In the sunshine of royal pa
tronage. She left Kean'a management In
1880 and thereafter played In var
ious stock companies with her sister
Kate. In March 1803 she appeared
in London at the old Haymarket
theater opposite- X. A. Sothern,
whom she did not like because of
his penchant for practical Joking.
When "Our American Cousin" was
revived two or three months' later,
Miss Terry was chosen to play the
part of Mary Meredith. She quit
during the run of the play to marry
O. F. Watts, the noted British artist.
Four years later she returned to the
stage to play, for the tint time, op
posite Henry Irving In Garrlck's
version of ''The Taming of . the
Shrew," she playing Katherlne to
his Peu-uchlo. But their famous
partnership, was not to begin until
11 years later.
Soon after the withdrawal of
"Katherlne an( Petruchlo" In Jan
uary, 18M, Miss Terr? again retired
from the stage, this time to become
the wife of Charles Warden, known
on the stage as Charles Kelly. He
died In 1888. They were the parents
of two children, Miss Edith Warden
who went on the stage under the
name of Allsa Craig and her bro
ther, Edward Warden, who Went on
the stage a Gordon Craig. Her

SAYS ATHLETIC
FLIGHT SAFEST
IN AMPHIBIANS
Berlin, (United Press). Am
phibious aeroplanes are the logical
type of machine for transoceanic
flying, according to Otto Merkel, the
director of civil aviation. In a speech
delivered nere recently. --.-
Merkel, who Is also a director
of the Lufthansa, added that al
though the amphibious plane was
tne ultimate ooiective seaplanes
met. vim, viaijr vj-JC v, uuvuuu; buii-
able for long-distance overwater
flying at the present moment. The
amphibious plane has not yet reach
ed a suincientiy nign stage ol de
velopment, ne declared.
Merkel was describing the Luft
hansa's air program, which is re
liably understood to' be the govern
ment's policy as well.
The Lufthansa has determined,
he announced, to collaborate with
foreign aviation circles in an ef
fort to bring transatlantic flying
within the range of practical com
mercial operations. After an ex
haustive study of the numerous
possible routes across the Atlantic,
company experts have decided that
the Cape Verde-Brazil hop offers
the greates't advantages as a field
for the first commercial experimen
tation.
The flight from Ireland to New
foundland Is judged cUmactically
inadvisable since a year-round ser
vice would be impossible and even
summer flying Is, at the present
stage ox development, uncertain.
It was even felt that a route via
IceUr.d and Greenland would be
better than the hop to Newfound
land since it offered much shorter
oversea jumps.
Merkel recalled to his hearers
that the Condor Syndicate, with
which the Lufthansa organization
Is affiliated, already is operating
service irom pemamouco to
Montevideo.
"It Is only necessary to link this
service with a line from Europe,
tnrougn spam to tne cape verde
Islands and so across to northern
Brazil," explained Merkel.
This tne Lufthansa experts are
hoping to accomplish.
VIKINGS ART LOVERS
EXCAVATIONS REVEAL
Stockholm, (LP) That the Swe
dish Vikings of old were art col
lectors as well as feared warriors
and world travelers, has been dis
covered by Swedish archeologists.
When Vikings, more than 1,000 years
ago, penetrated the Russian plains
and sent expeditions to the Black
Sea and the Mediterranean, they
captured rich booty which they
brought back to Sweden.
This consisted of beautiful gold
and silver ornaments and bric-a-brac
as well as Roman. Byzantine
and Oriental coins. Their spoils
also comprised an Interesting mar
ble statue, which was unearthed on
the Swedish Island of Oreland In
the Baltic Sea.
For many years this piece of
sculpture was believed to be the
Image of the goddess Freya of
Norse mythology. Recent systema
tic researches have, however, shown
that It represents an ancient Greek
horsemen, of which exact replicas
have been found In Greece. How
this statue, sculptured In the early
Hellenic period of 600 B. C. came
to be shipped to the Baltic shores
remains a mystery, but It seems to
indicate that the Vikings were no
barbarians with love only for money
and glittering gold, but also showed
a liking for beautiful things In art.
in elevation, the point bring desig
nated in aeronautical terms aa the
"ceiling." This celling, for the Waco
10, is between lim and 14,000 feet
for the ships powered with low
compression motors. - It la hoped
that the high compression type will
be able to mount above this point.
The record height attained by the
low compression motor In this type
ship Is 13,500, with two passengers.
With only one passenger and the
combined whelght of pilot and ob
server practically 300 pounds, there
Is every reason to believe this point
can be passed In the test Tuesday.
The front cockpit will be equipped
with a naddltlonal altimeter to en
able the pilot and observer to check
on altitude attained. It la expected a
thermometer will also be Included.
After a flight taking the pilot to
8400 feet Friday afternoon, from
which point Portland could be seen
In spite of the haze, and a decided
ly chilly area encountered. Direc
tions to the observer for the flight
Tuesday Include the wearing of a
heavy flannel shirt and heavy
weight sweater in addition to the
leather flying jacket, because of an
ticipated low temperatures. It'll es
timated that at least an hour and
a half will be consumed In reach
ing the celling and the return to
earth will be made by gliding to
Silverton and return, if possible.
An aircraft has, ruoghly, a 10 to
one ratio that Is, for every mile in
the air It can land approximately
10 miles away and with favorable
weather, the glide should be made
without difficulty.
