NAVY FtYEft, USING BIGGER CRAFT, TO MOP FROM CHICAGO IN JUtY BY ROBERT TALLEY NBA service Writer Akron, Muy 12, per haps 15 miles above the earth- Licensed and qualified'' to pilo every type of aircraft, T. a. W. Settle hopes to crown hi career of adventure by ascending an altitude higher than any mar has ever gone before. Commander Settle, winner numerous balloon races for the U.

navy, Is completing plans for an as cent into the frigid region of th upper skies known as the strato sphere. With a balloon both large and lighter than that used by Prof Auguste Piccard, Belgian scientist Commander Settle hopes to the record of nearly 10 miles se by Piccard over Europe last year. Settle's flight will be made fror Chicago early in July as a feature the 1 Century of Progress exhibition which is financing it. A scientis chosen by the University of Chicago will accompany him to make atlons at various altitudes and stuay cosmic rays. Like Piccard and his assistant Settle and his companion will mak their voyage into the skies in an air-tight ball suspended from thei balloon.

This is necessary to pro tect them from the biting cold and lack of oxygen encountered at higl altitudes. They will carry tanks oxygen in the ball and release it needed. "As High As We Can" Settle's balloon will have capacity of 600,000 cubic feet hydrogen gas as compared wit! 500,000 feet in the Piccard balloon Moreover, the ball in which the tw Americans will ride, seven feet in be made of mag one-fourth lighte ROYAL BELL RINGERS AT FIRST METHODIST CHURCH WEDNESDAY NIGHT The Royal (Swedish-American) Bell who captivated a great audience here a year and a half ago will make a second apeparance at First Methodist next Wednesday, May 10, at 7:30 p. m.

"Since we will have a balloon tha Is both bigger and lighter than Professor Piccard's, we should able to go higher than he did, Commander Settle says. "I won' know what altitude we will be abl to reach, but we will go as high as we can." When weather is favorable, Sett! and his assistant will take off from Chicago about midnight. At th start their big balloon will appear pear-shaped, since it will be only one-fifth inflated to allow for ex pansion of the hydrogen gas at higher altitudes. "We will keep to moderate alti tudes until the sun comes up," Com mander Settle explained, "and then we will go up with it.

As we ascend the thinner air, under the heat the sun, the balloon fill out. "We expect to arrive at our peak about mid-afternoon when the sun is hottest and the lifting power the gas is greatest. We should land that night about dark." At an altitude of about seven miles, where the stratosphere begins Settle and his companion will encounter an air temperature of abou 70 degrees below zero. At this same rieight, the temperature inside Professor Piccard's metallic ball was 106 degrees above zero, due to absorption of the sun's heat. Settle however, plans to overcome this by painting his metallic ball in such a nanner as to reduce the amount of heat from absorption.

In the bitter- cold of the stratosphere, the two men'will encounter conditions about like those at twi- ight. The sky will be darkened appreciably, though it is mid-day, and sun will shine like a great fiery orb in the partial blackness. "Just In Case" Throughout the flight, they wil in radio communication with the ground. However, they are taking no chances; if their radio should fai: and they should be forced down far from human habitation, they will have emsrgency rations to last six days. Professor Piccard came down 200 miles from his starting point.

Moreover, to the bottom of the ball will be affixed an inflated rubber ring which will float it in case the two aeronauts are forced down on water. They will also carry parachutes. "Hazardous?" replied Commander Settle. "Why, this flight won't be any more hazardous than ballooning in general, and that's the finest sport there is. Ballooning is no more hazardous than yacht racing and far less dangerous than auto racing.

There's always a possibility that something may happen, of course." Winner of numerous balloon races for the navy, including the international balloon race in Switzerland last year, Commander Settle has had an adventurous career ever since he was graduated from Annapolis in 1918. After brief service on American destroyers in European war zones, he left sea duty for aviation. Anything That Files Since that time he has qualified as a pilot of every type of aircraft. He is said to be the only man in the world who is licensed to fly a balloon, an airplane airship of the size of the U. S.

S. Majton, and even a glider. One' of his feats was his descent from the U. S. 8.

Los Angeles in a tiny glider. Settle also has made a tram- Atlantic crossing on the Graf Zeppelin, accompanying it as an observer for the U. S. navy on its return flight from Lakehurst, N. to Germany.

His most perilous experience came during the national balloon races at Pittsburgh in 1928 when two other balloon pilots were killed in a terrific storm which he rode out. The storm whipped his balloon around like a plaything, shooting it alternately from position dangerously close to the ground to an altitude of 8500 feet, amid deafening thunder and almost inky blackness. After two hours Settle and his aide succeeded in making a safe landing- Commander Settle recently has been stationed in Akron as head the ruvy to supervise the ship Micm the navy MS ed" hiffi ts eWcifd wortd'i fftif the stratosphere night, CO'dNTY DOCTORS TO ATTEND MEDICAL MEETING AT DIXQN THURSDAY It is expected that 'A representation of about twenty-five members of the Stephenson county Mediccl society will present on Thursday at the meeting, of the Lee County Medical society, which will be held at the state hospital neaf Dixon.
