Brooks Is De- i termined To Be in Derby Tempted by the prize of $10,000, but more by the thrill of the race which offers competition with sonte of the best known air pilots of the eountry. Reginald Langhorne Brooks, nephew of Viscountess Astor, hopes to enter the New York to- Spokane National 'Air Derby. Brooks, who studied aviation with the DeHavilands in England and who holds an American pilot's Heense, has temporarily given up his $18,000 auto- mobile in order to # his ambi- tion to be in the race: car may go into temporary pawn with the American agency of its makers, But this move will produce only $6,000. More lucrative financing will be nec- essary to moquire the air racer, a Wright powered Waco, which Brooks feels he needs for the air derby. It costs $8,000. Brooks, who has won the sobriquet of \Bellanca Pete\ on the flying fields of Long Island, for the long weeks of service which he put in at the Bellanca hangar during the conditioning of the Columbia, ad- mitted to a friend that an expensive grand piano in his bachelor apartment 'an Beckman place, New York, might follow the motor car.

The Department of Highways and the Long Island State Park Com- mission, it states, have co-operated in the extension of existing highways and in securing rights of way for new traffic orteries. Within the New York City :imits the work of con- structing new arteries has been some- what slowed up, so that the state developments beyond the city line are expected to eep pace with the open- l‘f‘ of new routes inside the city ine. The plan cmbodies two new state parkways, tne Northern Parkway, ex- tending eastward, the present Nassau Boulevard through Wheatley Hills, and the Southern Parkway, extending through the former city water supply and eastward to Sagitins Manor, north of West Islip, a dis- tance of. twenty-six and a quarter miles. Construction of the pavement cn the first six end a half miles of this parkway is now in progress and- will be completed this fall. The two park- ways will be connected with a cross highway- starting just east of the Dix Hills. Another cross country boulevard will run north and south nflatten: Little Neck Bay and Jamaica 9.)

A report was current thatthe Eu- ropa would unload some fuel at Bre- men and be brought back to Dessau, to be made ready for ® fresh start. The Bremen and Europa, both Jun- kers W-33 planes, having stocked up with fuel sufficient to keep them in the air for 80 hours, hopped off from the Dessau Airdrome Sunday at 6:21:47 and 6:25:13 p. m., respectively. New Yorker as Passenger In the Europa as pilots were Corne- lius Edzard andJohann Risticz, who used the same machine to establish a world's endurance record recently of 52 hours 28 minutes. They had as a| passenger Hubert R. Knickerbocker, representing the New York American, which is one of the financial backers of the enterprise. ._ * Herman Koehl, a night flying ex- pert, and Priedrich Loose, who has m notable aviation record, left aboard the Bremen, with BaronGuntherVon Huenfeld, former Junkers | pilot, as passenger. He represented the North German Line, which has also given financial support to the fight. The planes got off to a quick start, shot across the field and soon dis-] appeared in a cloudbank. No ceremo- | nies preceded the s'art, only a few Junkers and North German Lime of- ficlals being on that part of the field from which theytook the air. The crowds which rushed to the airdrome when it became known the | double trans-Atlantic effort was to get under way gave the filers an ovation as they passed overhead. Confident of Success Pilots and ts, who had been anxiously walting for days for the ac- cepted time, took their places in the machines with every assurance that the expedition would be successful. In a parting statement the four . said: \We have firm confidence we shall succeed. 'They had . received good luck messages from Jacob Gould Schurman, American ambassador to Germany: Karl G.

FAMOUS FILM ON MINEOLA SCREEN \What Price Glory\ Opens at County Seat Before Packed House A magnificent, dramatic war com- Jedy greeted the packed mudience ati the Mincola theatre last night, where \What Price Glory,\ William Fox's sereen version of the famous play of the same name opened a four-day run. The audience showed its fecl- ings toward the play in no uncertain manner as they applauded the picture after the showing. This picture, which many . New York critics praised more than \The! Big Parade,\ has everything necessary to make a great picture. Every de- tain is of the best. The work of Raoul Waish in handling the mega- phone must rank with one of the best pleces of directing in the movies. War scenes, ms good as those in ''The Big Parade,\ were shown, proving the Fox photography can be good. The act- ing, with Ermund Lowe, arid a new star Dolores Del Rio, is far wbave re- proach. And above all this, the cin- ema is a great comedy... Gales ot laughter swept the audience ms Tea McNamara and Sammie Coben clown- ed before the camera. Human drama, pathos, comedy and love were all combined into this one picture. At times the audience. would scream at the comedy mntles of the players and a few moments later would be so solemn tnat mas and handkerchiefs could be heard and seen all the theatre.
