L. eny, Jr., son of the milionaire magnate, was shot to death in his erly Hills mansion here early tohv Hugh Plunkett, who killed self after the murder. olice said Plunkett was ynderd to have been Doheny's seery. Dr. E. C. Fishbaugh, personhysician of the oil man, wafr called Doheny's home about midnight, n entering the house, he told :e, ha heard a shot. Guided by sound, he rushed to a bedroom before he reached it he heard a nd shot. The bodies were found ither. oheny had been shot in the head with the same gun. r. Fishbaugh summoned W. Blair, f of police of Beverly Hills; Dist Attorney Burton Fitts, and oner Frank Nance. Blair said : Plunkett apparently had become | insane suddenly. I I)r. Kishbaugh said he hud been summoned by Doheny to attend Plunkett, who had been suffering from nervous trouble and was to undergo a throat operation. District Attorney Fitts said Lluy. Plunkett evidently had gone to Doheny's home with the intention of committing suicide, and that the oil man had remoTistrated with him. In a fit of insanity, Plunkett was believed to have shot Doheny and then turireif the gun on himself/ Plunkett was 35 years old and had been employed by Doheny, Sr., for 15 years. The senidr Doheny was notified of the shooting, at his Los Angeles home. Young Tern Makes I^ong Flight Washington, Feb. 18.?The longest flight ever recorded for a banded bird, marked .by the United States biological survey, was made by a fledgling artic tern from Turnevilt Bay, Labrador, to Margate, 16 miles southwest of Pprt Shepstone, Natal, South Africa. The bird was marked by a - cooperator of the bureau at Turnevik Bay on July 23, 1928, and was found dead at Margate on November* 14, 1928. The bird was only about four months old when found. A passenger train on a Mexican railroad near Yurcxaide, Michoanan, Friday, was dynamited and rebels attacked the military escort, passengers and train crew. Dispatches received at Mexico City said that from 25 to 50 persons were killed.

Darlington Youth Grew Over Hale Acre * Darlington, Feb. 15.?Clifton Galloway, an 18 or 19-yeur-old boy, probably had the beat five acres of cotton in Darlington county last year, "undoubtedly th$ beat of the county entered in the State Cotton Contest. Clifton picked 2670 pounds of lint, stapling an inch and an eight, from his five acrea of Caroling Foster long staple cotton. He 'actually made about 1500 pounds more lint than thb but the atorms hit his cotton just as it was opening and this much rotted. . ?, L~ Although his land had the reputation of producing a large "weed" Clifton reasoned that the more stalks he crowded on the plot the less each would grow, so he left the plants very thick ij\? the drill in rows 34 inches apart. He protected the cotton from boll weevils by mopping with sweetened poison and then dusting with a hand gun when plants grew larger. He fertilised the five acres with 1000 pounds of u 15-5-5 mixture ypd applied 750 pounds of nitrate of soda as a side dresser. Clifton's own statement us to lessons learned is: "Close spacing payB best; use 800 pounds of high I grade fertilizer and 150 pounds of j nitrate of soda per acre; sweetened J poison applied properly-paya^rotating cotton with legumes js a good practice for cotton growing." ^ Want Bridge at Catawba Junction At a meeting of the directors of the -Hock Hill Chamber of Commerce i last Tuesday, the matter of building a bridge over Catawba River at the Indian ferry was brought up and discussed. It was stated that the erection of a bridge at this point, connecting York and Lancaster counties^wouid make possible the shortest route be-twcen Wilmington, N. C., and Asheville, N. C., the saving in mileage between the two* points amounting to "approximately 30 miles. The statement was made that th* bridge would cost about $100,000 and that possibly $60,000 could be secured through Federal aid, the balance being divided between York and Lancaster counties. It. will be recalled that an effort was made to build a bridge at this site several years ago but York county people were unable to get the co-operation of Lancaster county, the latter Contending that the building of a bridge at this point was a scheme* to draw trade from the western part of Lancaster county to Rock Hill. Just what attitude Lancaster people will take toward the proposition ut this time remains to be seen Strange Sights Found tig A viators in Skies i Dayton, Ohio, Fob. 13.?-Two Army fliers in an old Army plane reached an unofficial altitude of 39,000 feet from Wright Field yesterday, and brought down with them ait account of a condition above the clouds which meteorologists long have suspected but never have been able to prove. The fliers, Lieut. Johnson and Cuptain A, W. Stevens, pilot and photographer, were forced down by deplenished fuel at Horton Field Columbus, Ohio. The instruments attached to the plane, used in many tests and alii-" tude flights, indicated that they had reached an altitude outreaching the record of 38,402.6 feet held by Lieut. C. C. Champion, of the United States Navy. No record wuh claimed because mles of the Federation Aeronautiijue Internationale prescribe that the plane land at the field from which it left the earth. The two pilots blamed their failure to establish a record for a two-man i plane on another phenomenon of the air: Excessive visibility. "The ordinary horizon line when Hying is between "seven and eight thousand feet," they explained. "After we got" above the clouds of ice, we couldn't see the ground and the horizon line above must hav?been at least 60,000 feet?and we didn't know where we were." After they had reached the pinnacle of their flight, .Johnson and Stevers were Hying in a temperature of 7o degrees below zero. They looked below and saw what appeared to Ik- billows of ice crystals hung in midair and resembling the formations of a cave. The aviators described the spectacle as a dazzling sight, with the light rays broken by the rtragile crystals into all the colors oi the spectrum. In order to verify this seeming mirage of the heavens they dipped again and again Into the Crystals, and Lieut. Johnson, to make more certain, removed a glove and stuck his bare hand from the cockpit. It j was pierced as though by a thousand i needles. Not satisfied, Capt. Stevens exposed part of his face, and today he bore a huge ice blister on one cheek as a souvenir. Capt. Stevens made several pictures on the flight but the results are in doubt. Exhaust from the engine fouled the lens several times, and a thick blanket of snow which covered the territory over \fchich they flew made his photog.aph of little value in studying the earth from the great height. ' ^ Diving Depths For years the diving fraternity lias been trying to perfect methods to enable man to"~~"gor down to greater depths and remain undersea longer than is now possible. Drivers rarely work below 200 feet, and even at that depth they ran stay but a short time. It takes about three minutes for a diver to descend to 200 feet, but it takes a longer time to bring him back. The hauling is not continuous; pauses must be made to allow the gas occasioned by great pressure to escape from the body lluids and tissues. The number and duration of C* . i the stops naturally increases with depth. At a depth of 200 feet there is a water pressure of nearly 90 pounds to each square inch of surface Thus, at that depth, a diver with an average exposed area of 720 inches would feel a weight equivalent to more than 20 tons. No wonder, then, that a diving suit Weighs about 200 pounds and costs in the neighborhood of $1,000. >Vt 20 feet the pressure is 8 1-2 pounds to the square inch; at J 30 feet, 13 pounds; at 40 feet, 171 pounds, and this increases proportion- ' ately with depth untilt at 300 feet the. equivalent weight in 150 pounds to ( the square inch. Another of the many dangers that. bes^et a diver is to rise frotn the depths toy rapidly and so receive an excejtsivo amount of compressed air. in proportion to'the water pressure. This is ill thu- risk- of? rupturing?a? blood vessel, (>r worse. Most divers are deaf because sudden changes of pressure break their enr drums. A diver must swallow constantly to keep his head clear, and that is the reason most divers chew gum while at work. Some have been known to smear vinegar on their face plates, licking it from time to time to faeiliflte the flow of saliva. Full-blooded men or men with weak lungs cannot be used in diving or submarine work. Even for those in the prime of health, a few years of work at high pressure finally cause gas bubbles to form in tho blood and result in severe nervotis twitching* or premature retirement because of paralysis. Notwithstanding, the professiqu has a strong hold on its followers and the writer has yet to hear one diver say that diving is not fascinating and thrilling work.?The Pathfinder. ' ..
