While the flyers were silent as to their plans, it was learned unofficially that the flight proper probably will start Wednesday morning and that the hop-off will take place about 5 a. in. A rumor here tonight as that one of the "mechanics" who came here from Germany last week to pave the way for the "Bremen," was Frieder- rich Loose, famous German pilot who handled the "Bermen" on earlier flights and who had been reported as the selection to guide the machine over the Atlantic this summer. It was fairly well established that one of the advance guards of the present flight was a qualified pilot.

LILLIAN GISH III "THE EUYITUU TAKE-OFF SECRET. Berlin, March 26-(AP)-Eluding the vigilance of both the Lufthansa and aerial police, Captain Herman Koehl, Baron von Huenfeld, sponsor of the flight, and Arthur Spmdlcr, a war aviator, as mechanic, took otf shortly after 8 o'clock this morning from Tempelhofer airdrome on an attempt to span the Atlantic, with New- York as the final objective. The single motored plane "Bremen," carrying the intrepid fhers, reached the Baldonnel airdrome in Ireland this evening and thus the first leg of the long stern air journey from Germany to America has been accomplished Captain Koehl took off from the airdrome in utter secrecy, in the face of the opposition of German aviation circles. Especially opposed to the flight was Lufthansa, the national organization, with which he had been identified, and which reiterated its contention that the east-to-west crossing was possible only with a triple motored hydro-airplane. Koehl succeeded in disguising his intentions so well that he was enabled to make JL fortnight's preparations for the Every picture brings with it some new experience for Lillian Gish.

Her latest has gone a long way toward making her an expert cook. In "The the new Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer vehicle coming to the Marlow this week on Friday and Saturday, Miss Gish cooks an entire meal, including a very ornate "souffle." Polly Moran acts as assistant cook. Between the two they prepared everything used in the meal, from a roast fowl to coffee. Inasmuch as the actual process 01 cooking had to be shown in the picture, there was no opportunity for outside help, and they had to do it all themselves-and do it well. Fred Niblo, the director, sampled portions of the meal, and proclaims Miss Gish a pcrieu cook.

However, he says, a good actress, when called upon to enact a cook, must perforce be a good cook to play the role. Voila! The new picture is a viud drama of Austria, based on the famous Channing Pollock play, and with Miss Gish in the role of the tragic heroine, "Pauli." Ralph Forbes, Ralph Emerson, Frank Currier, George Fawcett, Karl Dane, Polly Moran, Fritzi Ridway, Billy Kent Schaeffcr. John Peters and others of note are in the cast.

He withdrew from service with Lufthansa after differences with the directors about the advisability of the flight he is now making. The "Bremen" carries the markings D- 1167. The successful non-stop flight to Baldonnel represents a distance as estimated here, of 992 miles, which was accomplished in about 9 1-2 hours, or an average of nearly 106 miles an hour.

Snow scenes of exceptional beautj arc said to characterize this phase of what Mcnjou declares to be the up best picture he has ever made. High in the Sierra Nevada mountains of Northern California, twenty-four hours by train from Hollywood, snow is to be found all winter long. By the frozen shores of Lake Tahoe, one of America's most beautiful scenic spots, were the scenes made. A toboggan slide modeled' after the famous slide at St. Moritz, reputed the fastest in the world, was constructed.

There were made scenes declared by critics to be the most spectacular toboggan shots ever filmed.

Wall Street is convinced that their paper profits run into hundreds of millions, but there was a wide divergence of opinion as to how much of this has been converted into cash. General Motors opened today with a block oE 7,000 shares at $194, a week-end gain of $4 a share. The next sale was slightly lower, but word was Quickly passed around brokerage houses that "Duraut was buying Motors" and the wild scramble to buy the stock was on. Mid-day the price had reached $197.50.

Profit-taking sales came into the market and forced a moderate recession, but a fresh upturn took place in the final hour which carried It up to the new record price just before the closing gong sounded. In the wild confusion around the General Motors post at the close, the stock was reported "200 bid" but no sales were arranged at that figure, the final quotation being officially recorded at $198.75. The which the Raskob and Fisher interests are identified, also were reported to be heavy buyers of their own stock but there was no way of confirming these reports. "William C. Durant is credited with having engineered the driving in of the "short" interest in Chrysler Motors, which advanced nearly i $9 a share to a new peak price at $72.

Arthur W. Cutten, who headed the recent suciessful pool in Montgomery Ward, was named today as a heavy buyer of Sears Roebuck, which jumped more than $12 a share to a new top price at $110. The speculative mania in Wall street has reached such proportions that the mere mention of a successful pool operator's name with any stock is sufficient to cause a wild outburst of buying on the part of small speculators. The average of 20 leading industrial shares, compiled by the Associated Press, advanced nearly a point today to the highest level in history. The average of 20 leading rails recorded a similar gain but was still a point below the year's high and 6 1-4 points below the record top established last year.

The city of Sacramento proper lies behind high levees and it is the suburbs to the north and east that are under water from five to 15 feet deep. The waters might rise another feet before Sacramento might be endangered, in the opinion of city officials. In the meantime the problem of feeding and housing homeless of the communities to the north is being undertaken. Grocers of the flooded area are using rowboats to food to marooned residents who are still clinging to their homes. An appeal has been made to the Red Cross for cots and the Salvation Army has sent agents into the area Churches lodge rooms, theaters and armories are housing the homeless.

At the conclusion of the meeting, after, learning all details of the organization of file company, Helena became financially interested in the company, citizens subscribing for more than $4,000 of the stock. The National Parks Airways is incorporated for $125,000 of which $115,000 have been taken largely by leading business firms and banks of Salt Lake. The meeting last evening vas enthusiastic and made it plain that the city is behind the air'service and aviation generally. S. V.

Stewart, president of the Commercial club, presided and introduced R. E. Towle, chairman of the aviation committee who introduced the speakers. President Stewart welcomed Mr. Frank back Montana, telling of his work as a mining engineer and a strategist in charge of the Heinze interests a number of years ago, when politics was one of the great indoor and outdoor sports.

How Line Was Secured. Chairman Towle called upon Fred Sheriff of the aviation committee, who made the announcement regarding the airport. Mr. Sheriff followed this v.ith an account of the work of the committee, giving credit to Aua- tor A. W.

Stephenson and Secretary W. G. Ferguson for having conceived the idea of securing the airmail service for Helena and other Montana cities and following it up by meetings which resulted in bringing Irving Glover, second assistant postmaster general to Montana and the establishment of the route, the decision having been reached by that official in Helena. Mr. Sheriff said that Stephenson was to be one of the pilots of the company, he being one of the men so far chosen out of a list of 125 applicants.

Felix Stcinley, chief of operation for the company, had pronounced Stephenson, who had been one of his pupils at Boiling field, one of the best pilots in the country. Mr. Sheriff after giving the history of the work of the committee and the establishment of the line, said the citizens would now pass on the ques- Ladies' Matinee Today TODAY and Wed.

No further danger is expected as word from Boca is that the dam there is holding well, despite the fact that water continues to run over it from the basin of the Little Truckee mer. Truckee meadows, to the east of Reno, is largely underwater, a lake some i square miles in extent but not more than two feet deep covering most of the fields. In Reno, Wingfield park, an island the river, is still under water, and Idlewild park, to the west of town, has about half a mile of water along its northern side. Roads Closed.

Four miles of the new highway between Sparks and Vista on the Salt Lake road arc under water today but the road is expected to be cleared tomorrow. The highway to Truckee, 15 miles this side of Truckee where the river was turned in order to build the road, is closed, a large part of it having been earned away.

August Ferrier of Newhall brought 45 years of canyon proscpecting to bear in his testimony. He told of cracks and seepage and formations which he distrusted. To a young woman living in the canyon he said he declared: "I don't think the dam's safe.

He closed by answering two of the questions asked by taxpayers as to expense of maintenance and use of local labor and materials.

He said the maintenance charge would be light at first and that an aviation school had applied for use of the field and as compensation would attend to the upkeep without cost to the city. Later as the business grew, due to be fact that a municipal airport is pen to all commercial planes, as well the government air service, the ees would more than meet the cost maintenance.

He had secured and then the hard work began. "I was not familiar with aviation from a business standpoint or otherwise, so I sought Harry Guggenheim of the Guggenheim Foundation, which landled the Lindbergh tour and has racked many projects from purely philanthropic motives," Mr. Frank said.

Adams succeeded Will Hays as national chairman in 1921 when Hays was appointed postmaster general, and some ot the senate investigators declare that his testimony will be essential before the inquiry is closed, which, Chairman Nye said, probably would not be for some weeks. Testimony before the committee is that Hilles raised some funds during the 1D20 campaign, but there is no evidence that he participated in the drive to wipe out the deficit in 1923, when Hays obtained in Continental Liberty bonds from Sinclair for use in extinguishing the republican party debt in advance of the 1924 presidential campaign. Although the committee Itself is in recess, its field investigators are busy running down a number new leads, the details of which are withhold pending preliminary inquiries as to the facts.

When that is done, the committee will determine whether tho Liberty bonds which James E.
