ROY AMMEL MAKES 2270-MILE NON-STOP FLIGHT TO PANAMA: BARREN ISLAND, NY - Chicago broker-aviator, flying alone in a low-wing monoplane similar to that now used by Col. Lindbergh, hops to France Field at Balboa, Canal Zone, in 24 hours, 34 minutes, more than half his remarkable feat over water. He’s the pioneer of this sky lane. 4. DECLINING MARKET CAUSES DESTRUCTION OF $40,000 TIMBER YIELD: AMBOY, WA - Wooden pyramid 185 feet high and 250 feet long, containing 190 miles of lumber, is deliberately put to the torch because price and transportation costs could not be made to balance.
