DUST CHECKS j LONG FLIGHT Laura Inf all* I» Forced Down After 10 Hours In Air ALAMOSA. Oolo , April 17. (JP>—A blind battle with dust four miles In the sir, more terrifying than a trans-ocean flight, was described Wednesday by Miss Laura Ingalls, whose attempt to set a new trans continental speed record for wo men ended here. “Stupendous. terrific, tragic." were the adjectives used by the 120-pound brunette aviatrix in pic turing the black blizzard through which she flew blind before land ing her new black monoplane near here Tuesday at 4:50 p. m., (5:50 p m.. C. S. T.). She had been in the air 10 hours and 40 minutes—four of them spent in blind navigating—since taking off on her projected non stop flight from Los Angeles to New York. Before retiring. Miss Ingalls made a hurried tnree-mile trip to the airport to see that a deputy sheriff was guarding her $20,000 ship. Then she had a telephone con versation with her New York back ers. who were understood to have encouraged her to make plans for a new attempt at a transcontinent al crossing in 15 hours or less. The present mark of 17 hours, 7 min-j utes and 30 seconds was set in 1932 by Miss Amelia Earhart.

And under old-time methods of heating water, it really was a luxury in every sense of the word. The cost and inconvenience was so great, that plenty of hot water was placed in the ne cessity class. Fortunately for present day folks, that condition no longer exists. You can have ALL the really HOT water you want or need at such a ridiculously low cost, us ing Natural Gas for Fuel. For a few cents a day—less than you pay for your daily newspapers — you can have an unfailing supply of hot water ample for your every need. Use either an Automatic Gas Storage Water Heater, or an Instantaneous Gas Water Heater. The one keeps a tankful of hot water always ready, the other heats the water as it runs through the pipes. Either is very efficient, it’s only a matter of choice. t Why Deny Yourself the Luxury of Plenty of Hot Water —Let NATURAL GAS supply you with all you can use! Rio Grande Valley Gas Company
