Stock Grain Live Stock Stock Finals NEW YORK, Oct. 24 (U.P.) The stock list opened irregular, started upward only to meet bearish opposition. In the afternoon a definite advance got underway, but was short lived.

Steel moved in a narrow range due to the uncertainty overhanging the market with regard to the third quarter report of that corporation due tomorrow. This offset the good effect of the statements made by bankers meeting in Houston, Texas, that the year would end with prosperity paramount. General Motors generally ruled higher as did the remainder of the motor group. Rails were strong. Special issues and the oils furnished the principal gains.

arkets CORNER OF STATE MICHIGAN CITY, Oct. 24. (I.N.S.) One of the worst fogs in many years covered northwestern Indiana early today from Gary to South Bend and far to the south. The mist which came from Lake Michigan and swamp lands in this district settled down over the highways causing numerous accidents and bring traffic almost to a standstill. Many motorists from Indiana, Illinois and Michigan who spent the week-end in Indiana's sand dune country viewing nature's autumnal panorama and gathering bunches of gaily colored foliage were literally fog bound.

Many of the drivers parked their machines besides the roads and waited for the fog to clear. Relief did not come however until just before day break.

ARREST 36 RAID Gary Police Break up 'Big Crap Game But Only for Evidence "Hurry on down to 1733 Washington dey's a big crap game on down there." Acting on the above tip Imparted by an excited colored man's voice over the telephone, police loaded the patrol with a raiding squad and drove post-hoste to the address. Pushing by a look-out at the door, officers arrived In time to find a seething mob of dusky colored gentlemen excitedly crowded around a dice game. "Dee law, dee law." yelled the discinlrs of the "rollin' bones as officers broke into their midst and they fled for windows and exists onlv to find them blocked by the police. There was a wild scramble for pennies, nickels and dimes, and the best police could do was to pick up asum of $1.60 to be held as evi dence.

A dice rake, dice and Severn! decks of cards were also found. Ic took the police patrol two trips to take them to tne station, so gamblers in all. Ike Smith, who is well known in police circles, was booked as the keeper of the game. JAPAN LOSES DIRIGIBLE TOKYO. Oct.

LONDON-BERLIN TRIP DESCRIBED ARTICLE II COSIMERCIAL AVIATION IN EUROPE ON BOARD THE IMPERIAL AIR WAYS LINER 949 ENROUTE TO BERLIN (U.P.).

From the side windows of this giant air liner, Croydon Airdrome, even so early as 7:30 in the morning, looks like a miniature railway station. In the front of the plane the pilot Is giving his wlrelss set its final test before the take-off. His mechanic is standing on the right wing examining the engine for the last time. He climbs In beside the pilot, who speeds both the motors until the plane strains at the wheel blocks. The motors run more slowly and the waves the "all clear" signal.

The engines roar and the plane slowly taxis down the field. Then the turn is made and again the engines roar under the touch of the pilot's hand. As the plane sweeps up the field two figures are silhoutted by the huge flood-lights against the wall of the watch tower overlooking the field. One has a stop watch in his hand, the other has a telephone connected directly with the Croydon wireless station, ready to give all stations between London and Berlin the information that "the 949 left on the Berlin route at 8 a. m.

First the buildings and then the fog-penetrating flood-lights fade into the mist. In the distance to the left as the plane heads eastward toward the English channel, a light here and there can be seen in London, but the city is soon lost from sight of the. eight passengers, besides the United Press correspondent, on board, two are German business men, one is a Dutch diamond merchant, three are English tourists (all women) and the remaining two are Americans. Some watch the altimeter mount steftdily to 800 feet, the three busi ness men are reading or examining papers, the rest are watching the ground slip by. A slight rain Is beginnings fall and the altimeter mounts steadily to 2,000 feet.

The sun now peeps through the windows and all below is a bank of solid clouds. Farther on, however, they break and finally disappear altogether, leaving a beautiful view of the channel for many miles in either direction. The towns of Belgium are seen and left behind us. The Zeeland Islands, with their wind-mills racing in the wind, dis appear and at 10:45 the city of Am sterdam is in sight. The engine is now trottled down and the altl meter begins a downward course as the plane rushing at a terrific speed comes toward the Schiphol air drome.

ground seems to be throwing itself up toward us. The plane glides along the field. There are a series of slight bumps, hardly more than those of a railway train pulling into a station. The plane stops and attendants crowd around the plane to help the passengers to alight and transfer our baggage to a waiting Deutsche Lufthansa giant standing nearby which will land us in Berlin at 4:30 this afternoon. A trip to Berlin from London by air is no different than a trip from Paris to Constantinople, or from Warsaw to Brussels.

In fact, Eu rope is getting the "air habit," not onlv so far as existing lines throughout the continent are con cerned, but Europe is looking forward to the day when London will be sixty hours from New York and 120 from Tokio for the air traveler. In Europe there are now 18,120 miles of airways compared with 6, 000 in 1920, and the cross-channel services between London and the continent, which can be taken as a barometer of aviation progress of Europe, have grown at the rate of 3,000 passengers a year since 1920. It is also noted that the number of miles flown per fatal accident is now over 1,000,000 to one, while in 1920 it was something over 100,000 to one.
