Plane Crash Shows Need of Air Lanes, Says Pilot 3 o'; .. ii , mr Type of Paris-Lcndon air liners which crashed in mid-air yesterday. The Taris-Loudon airplane acci dent emphasizes the need for well defined air lanes, said Clarence Lange, Omaha air mail pilot, yester day. "Wc are going to take up the mat ter soon in the Pilots' association, as the same thing is apt to happen to us," he said. L'p to date there Is nothing but an informal agreement between pilots as to what route they will fly. Lange cited an incident which hap pened week before last. "1 was flying east trom Cheyenne in very bad flying weather. Knowing Pilot H. G. Smith was starting west from Omaha over the same route, I landed at North Platte and phoned him I was flying right along the river, a little to the south, so he would fly north of the river. "Flying conditions were worse north than they were south and this arrangement sometimes may work a hardship-on one of the fliers, but something must be done to avoid ac cidents." Lange. who made the Faris-Lon- don trip himself a year ago last Feb ruary, is at a loss to account for the accident. "I thought they had an agreement to fly at different altitudes," he said. "If the v were flvmir bv eomnass. they probably didn't correct for shift ing side winds. Any compass would be 'off: four 'or .five, points, due to the shifting and this 'must be-taken into account by the- piloti.? .... , JLange made the trip as the guest of the Farnam Freres, who' operate one of three air lines much in use by tourists. The ' Others are Instonc and Handley-Page. Close Shave for Omahan. . Milton Darling, Omaha art dealer, made the Handley-Page trip from London to Paris on September 6, last. He also started on an air trip from Brussels to London. "Both times were nearly fraught with disaster for inc." he recounted yesterday, "but I'd make the trip again, any time. I he first time he started from Brussels one of - the motors went dead just as they ' were about to cross the channel. The pilot decid ed not to risk it and flew back to the airdrome. "A terrible accident occurred at the landing place 10 or 15 minutes after I landed, on my London-to-Paris trip," he said. "Four Amer icans were killed. A plane, landing, struck a tree. A bridal couple and a young Harvard student, who had forgotten his passport in Paris and was flying, back to get it, were among, tose killed." Take Zeppelin Trip. : Mr. and Mrs. Ware Hall made the London-Paris trip while on their honeymoon a year ago. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Coad and Miss Beatrice Coad, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Cowell and daughter, and Miss Mona Cow ell are among Omahans who have made the trip. - Frances Nash Watson, sister ot Louis C.

Marley, who went abroad with Mrs. John C. Coburn of St. Louis. They started in a Handley-Page plane, but were forced to land three miles out of Bcauvais and 60 miles from Paris, until the pilot shifted the baggage, because its position inter fered with the balance of the car. "Ve fot 1)RC' 'n ,0 make the sec ond start, when the pilot in taking off struck a rock, which knocked out all the underpart of the machine. We had to motor back to Paris for the night." . The women were undaunted by their experience and started again, the next morning, making the trip in a scant two hours. Lincoln G. Valentine, aviator lost with Lieut. Dunn in 1916 while making experi mental flights on the Atlantic coast, was their traveling companion on this trip. No Thrills. Mrs. Hall, who made the trip May 5, 1921, and was caught in a thun derstorm, said she would "never do it again." "I was not frightened by the storm, but the trip kcked thrill," said she. "Every one sat calmly reading their newspapers, just as if they were on a street car." Forrest Smith, Brother of ' Late Federal Judge,1, Dies.; :' Forrest L.

Milliraml Takes 5,000-MUe Trip Across Colonics DiiirrganJa HUtory of Ill-Fortune Met With by Pre dVcMsori on Their Travel. H? IM AmmUImI frna. rrii, April 8, President Milif rand, undimcd by the frequent mUhap to French presidents who have made long trips during their in cumbency, is taking a 5,000-mile, trip into Africa, More than half of hi journey will be traveled by automo bile through the protectorate colonies of Morocco, Algiers and Tunis. President Millerand owes his elec tion to the accident which befell for mer President Deichanel when he let! out of a train window. Premier Poincare, when he was the chief executive, met with no personal misadventure, but Austria-Hungary took advantage of his absence in Rus sia to present the ultimatum to Serbia which caused the war. When former President Itihet lefi the Elysce palace to visit the king ot Italy he embroiled France with the Vatican. Former President Carnot, on a visit to Lyons, fell under the dagger of an assassin. The other presidents, with the exception of Fallieres and MacMahon, did not travel much. Mac Ma Won, during a trip through the flooded regions of southern France in 1875, offended the press and in curred intense unpopularity, and the elections of that year wen( heavily against his party. President Millerand. is disregard ing all these precedents. Monte Carlo Stock Drops. Monte Carlo Casino stock is drop ping on the stock exchange, and the company is considering passing or re ducing its dividends. It Is said the croupiers have not raked in bank notes at the roulette and baccarat tables fast enough to meet the high cost of fast living. The casino's per centage of profit has remained un changed, it is claimed, while every thing else has gone tip. Its dividend, if any is declared, will be only S per cent of the book value of the stocks. Monte Carlo is not the only resort to be hard hit. This season also has heen dull at other similar resort along the Riviera. Negro Track Sensation. Winfield, a Kentucky negro, has been the sensation of the French flat racing season, winning nine races with his 14 mounts for Leon MantachefT, a Russian owner. Win field was caught in Russia by the bolshevist revolution and was res cued through the efforts of the Swe dish legation after a series of hard ships. He has won nearly 100,000 francs since the season opened and is Second only to Frank O'Neill, who is leading with 14 victories. Ameri can jockeys continue to hold the dominant position on French race tracks. ddie Haynes has made a great hit ; and has been dubbed the second Johnny Rciff, as he rides perched high on his horse's neck, but has shown weakness in some of the home stretches. O'Neill beat him re cently in two thrilling finishes. Princess Mary Shops. The 10-day incognito tisit here of Princess Mary and Viscount Las celles at the home of Lord and Lady Granard, has been largely a shopping trip. Being incognito, has not pre vented Parisians from recognizing the princess on entering or leaving the shops of dressmakers where she has been accompanied by her hus band. Viscount Lascelles is known to the Paris trade as being fond of pretty gowns and a -keen judge of what a woman ought to wear. ' Plan New Racing Motors. Radically new designs for auto mobile, motors are being developed for the French grand prix race at Strasbourg, July 15, undr the new regulations limiting engines to a cylinder capacity of two litres. French automobile engineers are conducting their experiments under much the same secrecy as that which surrounds the foreign office, but it is known that several eight-cylinder motors are being evolved to make over 5,000 revolutions a minute capable of developing close to 100 ,ore potter and of traveling mote thin ltti miles an hour.
