Prof. Auguste. Piccard. of the University of Brussels. and his com- panion.

The delicate instruments in the six-foot aluminum carriage of the balloon were not damaged and the two men—-feared deem-were in good condition. “We reached the height we desir- ed to attain." was the matter-affect way in which Prof. Plccard slimmed up his Journey away from the earth. “The flight was a success. We have an abundance of scientific material and we attained s. height of 16,000 metres. (just under ten miles)? He was far more excited about the data. he gathered in that mysterious layer of rarified air on the fringe of out- er space than about. the record- breakirig trip which he and Kipfer had made into the heavens. l-lé was calm concerning the hazards of the journey and said they never were ‘alarmed during their trip of some l8 hours from Augusburg over a tivisting route to the south. Prof. Piccard and Kipfer left their balloon on the mountain side and descended ‘to the village of Gurgl. the highest point in the Tyrol. They talked with officials and gendarmes who had sent out rescue groups and answered many telephone calls. Pic- wrd telegraphed his wife at Brussels and told her ilini all was well. King Albert of the Belgians. who had arranged special communication facilities for Mine. Plccard, made the scientist a Commander of the Order of Leopold and Kipfer a Chevalier of the same order. when he was informed of the success of the balloon trip. After eating, Piccard and Kipfer left Gurgl village and returned to the glacier to supervise dismantling and packing the balloon and instru- ments. Piccard said he would brlnE the most valuable instruments back with him when he returned to Gurgl this evening. He said he hoped to continue his researches at a high altitude, presumably at about the ten mile height he and Charles Kill- fer attained yesterday in gathering valuable scientific data on atmos- pherlcs. The two scientists planned to remain here three days supervis- ing the packing of their instruments and balloon. Professor Piccard revealed that the worm atmosphere close to the earth prevented the balloon from_ landin; yesterday. but said the descent was inude without difficulty 0n the snow- covered glacier. "I feel that n. scien- tifically constructed free balloon with hermetically sealed cabin and an artificial oxygen supply-such es ours-is the safest and most logical method for studying the higher stratus of ‘rnospheref’ Professor Piccaid said. He wormed "Wfll-sh‘ merit and was slightly angry when informed that most persons watchinl from the ground believed the flight had been a failure when the balloon did not lend yesterday.

This action was taken sf- ier the report of the films committee had been read. The report states that up until last year. there had never been anything like an ad- equate supply of good British films. The talkies had brought about some change, and contacts had been made which should prove of value in in- creasing their showing. but although Ontario should be of British origin. there were not even enough to sup- ply this amount The situation throughout Canndo was fraught with great danger to the national inter- est. the committee believed.
