For a way to spend warm summer days, it looks like the Quins have something here. As a suggestion for any hot afternoon, this peaceful
scene in a comfortable hammock is hard to beat. The little girl at the left, who has "a little curl right in the middle of her forehead" is
Cecile. Next is Yvonne, with Annette behind her. Marie’s attention centers on her gangly doll, while Err.Uie, at right, demonstrates the prop-
er attitude for any languid July day.

HONOLULU, July 14 - Sixty navy
planes scanned 21,000 square miles of
desolate South Pacific Ocean Tues-
day without finding a trace of
Amelia Earhart and Fred J. Noonan,
missing for eleven days on a flight
from New Guinea to tiny Howland
Island.
The planes, sent out from the deck
of the aircraft carrier Lexington,
returned at 1 p. m„ PST (3 p. m„
CST) and made ready for imme-
diate refueling for an afternoon
flight which was to extend further
southward and include the imme-
diate vicinity of Howland.
The sea was smooth, after a tropic
storm last night and conditions were
so improved that the navy fliers
could scan the water from a height of
only 500 feet.
In many navy quarters this plane
search for Miss Earhart and Noon-
an, her navigator, was considered
the "last chance” of rescue. They
were believed to have made a forced
landing when their fuel became ex-
hausted within 100 miles of Howland
Island on their projected flight
around the world.
The search by 60 planes was the
greatest the navy had attempted
and was to cover 36,000 square miles
of the sea surrounding tiny Howland
Island, the point at which Miss
Earhart and Noonan aimed on their
July 2 flight from Lae, New Guinea,
In her *80,000 flying laboratory.
On that day the coast guard cut-
ter Itasca, standing by the island
for emergency, heard her say by
radio the plane’s fuel was nearly
exhausted, and they were within
100 miles of Howland. They could
not then, she said, hear the radio
of the Itasca.
Many navy officers believed the
chances of finding Miss Earhart and
Noonan were extremely remote; that
they were lost, with their ship, be-
neath the waves.
Mikhail Gromoff is anxious to outdo
his own world’s record for non-stop
losed circuit flight — 7,750 miles
— and might attempt to better that
record by landing in Mexico.

eners on the question: “How Far Is
It to Heaven From Here?” In de-
veloping the theme, he indicated a
paradox in the lives of most people.
“There is a mirage which a self-
conducted journey through life
throws around us, so that we may
be much farther from the goal of
real life, the Kingdom of Heaven,
here and yonder, than we think,”
he said. “It is easy to kid yourself
that your own feet can take you in
the short span of life across the
desert of temptation, trial and suf-
fering, to t.hc mourn’a ins of rest,
and victor-' in the distance,”
“That is just what thousand? have
done.” he continued, "perhaps giving
God a formal allegiance, a lip service
of church membership and occasion-
al attendance; but never turning the j

to find life. No man can make it
alone, but they do not know it, until
the noon day sun grows hot and the
water of life leaves them and their
self-sufficiency is gone.
“On the other hand,” Rev. Webb
concluded, “all of us arc much near- .
er the Kingdom of Heaven, which

ize. First, we must recognize our
helplessness without a guide, and
then we must completely turn our j
lives over to Him. A partial surrend- |

ends in futility and respair ”

SOVIET TO EXECUTE
EIGHT FOR TREASON
MOSCOW. July 14 — Eight men
have been sentenced to death for
treason, terrorism and conspiracy in
Russia’s Georgian state, said a com-
munique in the Tints newspaper,
reaching here yesterday.
One of the men was listed as
“B. Mdivant.”
There was no further identifica-
tion, but it was believed here that
Bydy Mdlvanl was the person re-
ferred to, although he previously had
been reported executed on May 22.
Bydy Mdlvani, identified by Soviet
officials last January as a relative
of the “marrying" Georgian princes,
was arrested during the January
trial of 17 confessed conspirators
against the government. (David
Mdlvani said in New York at that
time that he never had heard of
Bydy Mdivani.)
