LAKE SHRINKS TO POND
Body of Water in California at
Maximum in 1884.
SACRAMENTO. Calif. ,/T>—State
officials wonder whether there will
long remain a drop of water in what
once was a 184-square-mile lake.
The body of water—Tule Lake, at
n 4,140-foot elevation near the Oregon
border—was reported at its maximum
size in 1884. A survey in 1924 showed
it had shrunk to 92 square miles, and
in 1930 it had become a small, shal
low pond.
Geologists believe the water is
Seeping out through an underground
fracture.

HONOLULU. March 22 (N.A.N.A.t.
—Departure of the Pan-American
Clipper for Kingman Reef, the next
stop on our survey route to New Zea
land. has been delayed until tomorrow 1

The tests of the duplicate direction
finder installed at this station, by
j which the clipper will experiment with
| long range ocean navigation in the
far Southern sector of our survey
route, had been planned for yesterday,
! but were postponed to permit the
, closest possible approximation to ac

The North Wind, our station ship at
Kingman Reef, was shifted to per
manent moorings yesterday and we
will engage in a radio test with her in
our flight today over the Southern
approaches to the Hawaiian Islands.
Upon completion of our tests, the way
will be cleared for a continuation of j
our schedule.

EARHART CRASH1

Findings of Commerce De

Flyer Sails for Home.
BACKGROUND—
To test human endurance and
learn effect of fatigue on human
body. Amelia Earhart, famous
woman flyer, began last Thursday
a round-the-world flight. Taking
off from Oakland. Calif., she out
distanced two giant Clipper planes
to Honolulu. Her time was 15
hours and 5l’f minutes, or 1 hour
and 6'j minutes better than the
Clippers.
Saturday she set as the date for
her departure from Wheeler Field,
Hawaii. In the take-off a wheel of
her plane skidded after a blowout,
throwing the plane to the ground
and damaging it badly. The flyer
announced she would return to the
United States by boat, and attempt
the 27.000-mile flight later.
By Uie Associated Press.
HONOLULU, March 22.—A Com
merce Department investigation into
the crash of Amelia Earhart's $80,000
"flying laboratory" was under way to
day as the aviatrix and her colleagues
sailed toward Los Angeles to plan an
other globe-circling attempt.
Inspector Emil Williams said he
was studying the take-off crash which
halted Miss Earhart’s projected trip
and ior a brief moment endangered
the lives of the famed aviatrix and
her navigators. Findings will be sent
to Washington, where any announce
ments will be made.
Miss Earhart. had completed a
speed-smashing 2,400-mile jump from
Oakland, Calif. to Haw’aii, and was
taking off at dawn Saturday when the
undercarriage of her plane gave
way as the ship sped down the run
way at 50 miles an hour. Army of
ficers and civilians praised her for
her coolness in cutting the ignition
switches and avoiding possible fire.
Most aviation experts believed the
right tire burst. Damage to the plane
was estimated at several thousand
dollars.
Pan-American Airways officials said
the new Pan-American Clipper would
make a two-hour test flight today. If
successful, the giant flying boat prob
ably will leave tomorrow for Kingman
Reef, 1.067 miles south, on the second
leg of a 6,820-mile exploratory trip to
Auckland, New Zealand.

HERB LEWIS {above, left), spark-plug of the Detroit
Red Wings, a split-second before he scored! After
the game {above, right}, between bites of a big ham
burger, Herb said: "You bet I enjoy eating. And I'll give
Camels credit for helping me enjoy my food. Smoking
Camels with my meals and afterward eases tension. I’ll
second the motion—’for digestion's sake—smoke Camels.’
I enjoy Camels steadily through the training season.”
Experience shows that Camel smokers enjoy smoking
to the full. It’s to Camels they turn for an invigorating
"lift” in energy. At mealtimes, it’s Camels again "for di
gestion’s sake.” Thanks to Camel’s gentle aid, the flow
of digestive fluids—alkaline digestive fluids —speeds up.
A sense of well-being follows. So make it Camels —the
live-long day. And Camels don’t get on your nerves or
irritate sensitive throats. Camels are mild!

“OPERATING THIS 30-TON crane is no job fora
man unless his nerves and digestion are O. K.,”
Peter Gillen says. 'T like to settle back after a
man-size meal and enjoy my Camels. That’s living!
I smoke Camels all the time. They set me right.”
THE DARING glider record-holder. Dorothy
Holdermatt, says: "Guiding a sailplane is nerve
shattering and exhausting at times. Tired and
wrought-up as I may feel afterwards, a few
Camels keep my digestion running smoothly.'’
