TRIUMPHS RIVAL
SEA HOP TRAGEDIES
1931 Produces Best Cross
ing Record Since Busy
Year of 1927.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 25. —Aeronautical
progress suite LinuDergn«flew to Trance
can be gauged by a comparison c: North
Atlantic triumphs and tragedies in 1927
and 1931, the two busiest years in the
history of aviation.
In 1927. the year in which Lindbergh
led the way to victory, attempts were
made to flv 11 planes across the North
Atlantic. Four of them, carrying nine
men, succeeded. But five others were
lost at sea and wdth them were lost 12
men and two women. Two planea were
forced back.
This vear three planes 'already have
crossed the North Atlantic, bearing six
men. and there have been no fatalities.
Miss Ruth Nichols oid crack up on her
way to the Newfoundland hop-off point,
and Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Hern
don narrowly escaped a serious accident
when their plane failed to rise under a
heavy load, but both expeditions still
are on the calendar for this year and
Others are preparing.
Pacific Has Tragedy.
There has been tragedy in ocean fly
ing this year, though this time it was
not above the dangerous North Atlantic.
Early in the year William MacLaren and
Mrs. Beryl Hart started across the
South Atlantic, reached Bermuda, con
tinued toward the Azores and were I
never heard of more.
Up to the present, 1927 still holds the ,
records both for successes and failures, I
but this year is far ahead of any other, j
except 1930, which also was a good I
year in its ratio of successes to failure, i
The calendar of North Atlantic I
feiiures and successes follows:
1919 —Alcock and Brown make first !
Con-stop flight. Hawker and Grieve
(ail. but are saved.
1924—United States Army around
the-wiorld flyers make first westward
crossing, with stops at Iceland, Green
land, Labrador and Newfoundland.
Two Are Killed.
1926 — Rene Fonck crashed on take
off, two of crew being killed. No suc
cesses.
1927 Lindbergh, Chamberlain and j
Levine, Byrd and crew and Brock and j
Schlee successful. Nungesser and Coli,
Princess Lowenstein Wertheim and
three men, Bertaud and Hill and Payne,
Tulley and Metcalf, and Mrs. Frances
Grayson and three men were all lost.
Capt. Frank Courtney and James Fitz
maurice failed, but were not lost.
1928 — Amelia Earhart and two men
succeeded, but the Hon. Elsie Mackay
and her man pilot were lost. Von Huen
feld, Koehl and Fitzmaurice got to
Greenly Island.
1929 Williams and Yancy and three
Frenchmen, Jean Assolant, Rene Le
Fevre and Armeno Lotti, jr„ with Ar
thur Schreiber, American stowaway, in
the Yellow Bird succeeded.
Flights Successful.
1930 — Kingsford-Smith, Coste and
Bellonte and Boyd and O’Connor made
non-stop flights and Von Gronau came i
by a northern route with intermediate j
stops. Mears cracked up on take-off.
1931 Post and Gatty, Hillig and i
Hoiriss and Magyar and Entires all I
succeeded. Prospects for remainder of |
flying season are three attempts by j
women solo flyers, a round-the-world
flight starting w-ith an Atlantic hop by j
two Americans and an Atlantic flight
by two others.
The tercentenary of Capt. John I
Bmith was celebrated bv the English
speaking Union at St. Sepulchre's I
Church, London, where he is buried. 1

YOUTH WITH PARLOR TRICKS
WINS PROSPERITY AS BEGGAR
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 25.—Out In the
neighborhood where James Reynolds,
18, lives, he seemed to be prosperity per
sonified. He always had plenty of
money for sodas and movies and he
was the best dressed boy for blocks
around. His companions told one an
other that he was a commercial artist
who made big money.
Besides, he was a good fellow. He
: had a wide assortment of parlor tricks
that would amuse the boys and girls
and sometimes make them shriek. He
could snap his elbow Jolnta, twist his
feet Into distorted positions, summon
horrible grimaces and crook his neck at
an angle that amazed his spectators.
Yesterday a twisted figure came Into
the court of Municipal Judge Francis
Allgretti. It was James. He had been
arrested, accuse* of using his parlor
tricks for his financial advantage by
posing as a crippled beggar at a rail
road station. He hobbled Into court, j
unaware that the authorities had sus
pected his deformities were the work of
a master contortionist.
“Take him Into chambers,” the judge
ordered Dr. David Rotman.
“We know you are a fake.” the doctor
said. “Now Etraighten up.”
Frightened, James unklnked his joints
and was his normal self again.
He was put under probation for a
1 year.
