Unaffected Girl, Dorothy Hester Is Stunting Star Of Dedication Air Circus By Eva Nealon A plane with bright orange wings swooped down from the clear summer sky onto the Medford airport yesterday afternoon to take its place in the long line of ships parked in the Pacific Northwest Air tour. A beret was brushed from a head of brown hair, tinged with gold, and a freckled nose came to view. Then a 19-year-old girl, Dorothy Hester, winner of first honors in competitive stunting in the Pacific northwest, climbed to the ground. The field did not ring with applause. A few people approached the girl, who stood calm and collected, wearing a simple print dress.

She smiled and wrinkled her pert little nose, then inquired of no one in particular: "Where is my sister?" "Down the line," Tex Rankin answered. then added: "You're coming on next Dot. You'd better, gO in and rest a bit." She started for the hangar building. Her ears did not seem to be "all stuffed up." Her face wasn't dirty and it didn't carry a worldly look. From appearances she might have been the champion forward on the home town basketball team.

Then Dorothy Hester returned from the hangar building, entered the plane with orange wings, and took to the air. And the crowd at the Medford airport stood with mouths open until she landed. The field rang with applause and no one said. "Just another woman flier." She took her plane into faint blue space with the same ease with which the eagle disappears, then darted upward, downward, with speed that made the engine howl. and under, upside Lovelorn Aviator Jumps to Death in Mother's Yard SETE.

RUBBER GROWERS TALK ABOUT PLAN TO LIMIT OUTPUT SINGAPORE- (P) -Efforts of Thomas A. Edison to produce cheaper rubber are not taken seriously by the rubber planters of the Straits Settlements. Planters here are quite frank.

however, in admitting that their light-hearted view of Edison's research work is "father to the thought" as any lowering of present prices for this commodity would be ruinous to the industry in this part of the world. Owing to the bottom price at which rubber is now quoted, the rubber merchants of the Straits consider 1930 I fateful year. By agreement a large proportion of the producers in Malaya, Ceylon and the Dutch East Indies ceased tapping of the rubber trees during May, but its effects as regards lightening the deep depression generally of the industry in these countries will not be realized for some time. According to some authorities the non-tapping scheme would keep from 30.000 to 40.000 tons of rubber off the market this summer. A recent proposal being considered in the Straits Settlements I is to stop tree tapping one day each week.

The work now goes on seven days a week, and the producers believe a day of rest would aid the industry materially, providing the producers abide by such an agreement. One drawback to the scheme is that some of the larger producers, such as Dunlop, have declined to enter any agreement reduce the supply. The Dunlop people assert the they need all the rubber their plantations are able to produce. MRS. MARSHALL FIELD SUING FOR A DIVORCE RENO, Aug.
