SIXTH SENSE IS
POSSIBLE SAYS
FLYING WOMAN
Rome (LP) "There la no reason
e'hy m-e should not develop a sixth
sense," said Amelia Earhart, the
American queen of aviation, who
holds three trans-Atlantic records,
Just after she landed In Rome.
"At present, up In the air In
clouds and fog, we seem to be
blind and unable to orientate our
selves, but the birds can, and there
Is no reason why human beings
should not develop that sense of fa
miliarity which the birds have," she
continued. "There are today 17,000
pilots In the United States and, as
time goes on, that number will be
Increased to millions, and by the
time, when we are accustomed to
the air as an organism, we can ex
pect the beginning of the develop
ment of the sixth sense.
"We have only to conduct the old
experiment of being blind-folded
and whirled on a swlveled stool and
then reversed with a different speed
to realize that we Invariably make
the wrong answer if we are asked In
which direction we are going. This
shows how poor we are at orienta
tion if we have no eyes on the
simple distinction of telling the di
rection in which we are going. You
can then Imagine what the aviator's
task is way up at 10,000 feet sur
rounded by clouds and fog. Only his
Instruments can save him.
"We are not accustomed as hu
man beings to live in the air. We
have been from the very beginning
of the world living organisms who
have been attached to the earth.
Now that we have begun to fly, we
will learn to know the air, and In
time know how to live In the air."
Her latest trans-atlantlc flight Is
not going to be her last as she al
ready has an Idea of trying an east
to west crossing. There Is to be no
let-up in her flying activities, and.
If she is not carrying her husband,
George Palmer Putnam, the pub
lisher, across the continent from
New York to San Francisco, she
will probably be planning some oth
er stunt.
"Of course," she confessed. "I
know my flight was a perfectly use
less affair except for my own satis
faction. I wanted to do it and now
I am satisfied, at least for the time
being."
Then she smiled and continued:
"We do not know where avia
tion will take us. You may find
us everywhere. Indeed, with the im
provement of the present equipment
there is no reason why we should

The Italian government had plac
ed at the disposal of the American
avlatrlx a brand new twelve -passenger
trl -motored Breda plane. When
she first got Into It she began at
once to look over the gadgets and
tricks which the constructors had
put into It and which had made It
different from any other plane she
had ever seen. She Inquired of the
pilots who were assigned her ail
about the levers and clocks In the
pilot's cockpit.
Miss Earhart thought the idea
of occasional meetings of trans-At
lantic flyers was a great thing for
long-distance aviation. She said
that the Italians ought to be con
gratulated for starting these meet
ings and that the continuation of
them was bound to be a great ad
vantage, not alone to the pilots but
to constructors and designers.
"Of course," she added. "I think
now that I know a little more about
trans-Atlantic flying than I knew
before I made these flights. I feel
now as if I knew how to cross the
ocean. Who knows but what I may
acquire the habit?"
With that she gave a little ges
ture and a smile, as If further
trans-Atlantic flights were going to
be a kind of annual vacation for
her.

LOST BATTALION
SITE IS FOUND
AFTER 13 YEARS
Varennes, Prance (LP) A search
ing nartv In the Acremont wood
ot the Argonne forest has uncov
ered the whole setting of one of
the most dramatic incidents or the
World war. the fight against cir
cling Germans, thirst and hunger
of the famed American "Lost Bat
talion." Under the leaves of 13
autumns, the searchers found re
mains of at least one of the Amer
ican heroes.
As searchers brushed away the
leaves and cut through the young
saplings that have choked the
forest, they found on the north
side of the gulley between Blnar
ville and Acremont historic evi
dence of the great struggle.
The side or the hill Is honey
combed with "foxholes" cut Into the
shale and Just large enough to hide
a man. There 000 men took cover
when they found that they had lost
contact with their own troops. Only
1M came out alive.
Even after 13 years It b possible
to picture the heroic struggle of
the besieged men. In the "kit
chen' 'hole Is a great rusted can,
punched full of holes, which shows
that the cooks sought to build a
fire and heat water for coffee and
tea.
All around are pieces of equip
ment, rusted bayonets, rifles, gas
masks. After hostilities, the bodies
were taken to Romangne cemetery,
but It was 13 years later before the
setting of this dramatic action was
found again and it will now be
thoroughly hunted.

CHICLE HUNTER

In a tasty bit of chicle soon may
become a sort of pleasant duty, a
sign that you're willing to do your
bit for the advancement of civiliza
tion. Elevation of gum chewing to such
comparative heights may seem out
of line with past teachings of eti
quette but there was a time when
tomatoes were regarded as poison
ous, pepper was a dessert, and spin
ach was less highly valued than
dandelion greens.
Chewing gum owes Its rise In
intellectual esteem to the fact that
it was the Indirect cause of one of
the most valuable archaeological dis
coveries In recent months, deep In
the Jungles of Guatemala.
A chicle hunter, looking for more
chicle for gum hungry Americans,

John C. Merrlam, president of the
Carnegie Institution, reported. The

section of the jungle which was laid
out in regular avenues and sections,

walls and creepers growing over
pyramids and stone shafts.
Investigation revealed an ancient
Mayan city, Calakmul, apparently

HERE'S something to think about if you
want the biggest money's worth of
comfort, safety and trouble-free mileage
when you buy tires.
You don't have to buy low quality tires
to get low price.
You don't have to take second-choice tires
to save money because FIRST-CHOICE
costs no more.
Here are prices that prove it. Read them
and remember, they buy real Good years.
Big, stout, husky, tough Supertwist balloons
with the name Goodyear Speedway on the
sidewall, and Goodyear materials through
and through.
For 17 years, motorists have voted Good
year Tires the best on the market because
they have bought more Goodyear Tires
than any other kind. Because Goodyear
makes millions more tires than any other
rubber manufacturer, it stands to reason
Goodyear can build them better and better.
Take another look at the prices here, and
ask yourself: Why buy any second-choice
tire when FIRST-CHOICE costs no more!
