Possibility of Exploring High Levels by Means of Newly Developed Device Japanese Girl Slain SYDNEY. Australia (UP) Radio experiment Just completed by Dra. D. F. Martyn and O. O. Pulley of Sydney university have demonstrated the possibility of exploring the en tire stratosphere for a distance of 150 miles above the earth without the necessity of further dangerous ascen sions. Except for the possibility of ascer taining whether the stratosphere con stitutes a medium for speedy aerial travel, the two Sydney scientist are convinced that all necessary infor mation about the earth's upper at mosphere can now be obtained from the earth Itself. Under the system invented and thoroughly demonstrated by Dr. Martyn. the upper air can now be probed by radio signals. Hla new method give accurate data on the amount of electrification, the amount of ozone, and the tem perature throughout the whole thickness of the upper air from 22 Up to 150 miles. Robot Does Work The new type apparatus which Dr. Martyn has perfected consist of robot that sends out signal, catches the echo, varies the wave lengths and plots all the Information obtain' d on a. tiny chart. One of the first discoveries made by Dr. Martyn with hi new inven tlon was that there ta still another cold layer of air far above the strat osphere cold layer recently reached by Russian and American balloon lata. Between the two cold layers tbere lies sandwiched a warm layer, and It Is In this latter that Dr. Mar tyn thinks that stratosphere flying might become a possibility. According to the radio records made by Dr. Martin, temperatures again dip in the second stratosphere above the warm ozone layer, reaching a minimum at 50 miles above the earth's surface. From these upward the tempera tures increase till they end in a tor lid zone at 150 miles of altitude. Former Theory Upset On this latter heated zone. Dr. Martyn's radio reports contradict the belief of Professor Appleton, who was convinced this zone was hot only in summer. Martyn' experiments show that the seasonal drop la only from 1,300 to 1.000 degrees. As a consequence. Dr. Martyn de clares, that the earth Is perpetually girdled by a fiery ring of Inconceiv ably rarefied aJr, In which, necessar ily, no human activity could ever be hoped for. Measurements of the upper ozone how fluctuations exactly corres ponding to barometric measures on the ground, but antedating them. A a consequence weather forecasts. Dr. Martyn declares, can be made from these radio probes of the air. Australian authorities are so im pressed with Dr. Martyn' findings, that modern ozone measurer are "now being installed at the Common wealth weather bureau, the Solar observatory at Canberra and at the installation of the Council for Scien tific and Industrial Research. Midi Takioka (above), 25-year-old Japanese stage beauty, was slain at her Los Angeles home. She ran screaming from the house and plunged face downward on the lawn, her throat slashed with a butcher knife. Police sought a white suitor for questioning concerning the slaying.

Regular routes operated by Railway Air Service will be increased to 62, compared with 42 last year. The 500,000 miles flown last season are expected to be doubled this year. Service are confined entirely to the British Isles. New routes, on which large luxury air liners will be used, link Inverness, Perth and Glasgow; Glasgow and the Isle of Man; Belfast and the Isle of Man; Bristol and Cardiff: Leeds and Bradford; and the Isle of Wight and Brighton. Flying times will be reduced, mak ing It possible to travel by air from Manchester to the Isle of Man in 50 minutes and from Liverpool to the Isle of Man in 45 minutes. Railway Air Services offer tickets which permit the traveler to make the entire Journey by air, or to use part air and port rail and steamer. Passengers holding a return railroad ticket may pay a slight supplement and travel by air. Special discounts off the air fare are allowed railroad season-ticket holders on routes which also have airplane services. Combined surface and air travel facilities are being offered at lower rates thla season. BOTH WRESTLERS OUT WHILE COUNT TOLLED CHICAGO, Aug. 14. (AP Keepers of the heavyweight wrestling archives debated today whether the records of Ivan Rasputin and Hans Schnabel should show a mutual defeat or a double victory. The exchanged right hand punches during their match last night at the Arcadia Gardens, flopped simultane ously to the canvas and stayed there while Referee Sam Clapham tolled off the ten count. HELP TO START LABOR COLLEGE TABOR. Iowa (UP) Seventy-five freshmen are expected to enroll next fall in Tabor college, where boys and girls must work part time to obtain their education.

Liberia (UP) Liberia definitely favors the repatriation of negroes from the United States, ac cording to & statement made here by President Edwin Barclay. The re public's established principle la that It shall always be an asylum for those of African descent. The statement came aa a result of many Inquiries received by president Barclay and the American minister here, after the Virginia legislature recently memorialized the United States congress to permit the coloni sation of 400,000 American negroes who ha4 petitioned President Roose velt for government assistance In migrating to Liberia. President Barclay said he had. re ceived e-n inquiry from ft large Negro organization of Chicago's south side, whose aim is "to return people of African descent to their motherland, Africa." Mrs. M. M. L. Gordon, presi dent of this organization, asked President Barclay whether published reports were true that he is not in sympathy with the proposed whole sale Influx of Negroes. He denied this report and said the only persons not desired In Liberia were opportunists and political agi tators. Since Liberia la self-governing, he said, he would be compelled to take a definite position regarding the coming of organized groups hav ing as their object the making or the country as a base for International antagonisms. The type of Negroes that are wel come In Liberia, said President Bar clay, are skilled artisans, trained agriculturists, business men with capital, and young physicians willing to go into the Interior and develop the aborigines. He advised that all prospective immigrants communicate with the Llberlan government before making final arrangements for sailing.
