Fliers Conqu a Complete 4,100-Mile Trip in 37 Hours and 18); Minutes. Valley Stream, L.I.--Captain Dieu- donne Coste and his co-pilot, Maurice Bellonte, completed the first direct flight from Paris to New York on Sept. 2nd when they landed at Curtiss Airport at 7.12% p.m., after a.journcy of 37 hours 18 minutes and 30 seconds. They covered a distance of 6,500 kilo- metres, or about 4,100 miles. Their achievement marked the first uninterrupted crossing from Europe to the United States metropolis, What others have tried to do and failed, Captain Coste and M. Béilonte accom- plished. In doing so they triumphed magnificently vver the dangers which sent Nungesser and Coli, the first two Frenchmen to try the westward trip, to their doom. t CROWD GREETS VISITORS. Ten thousand throats gelled a wild greeting to the two French masters of the air as their plane, the scarlet Question Mark, beariug upon her sides the written record of a dozen Odysseys of the sky, came down smoothly and gracefully on the east side of *he field and taxied rapidly toward the hangars on the west side. Here among the first to. greet Captain Coste and M. Bellonte was Colonel Charles A. Lind- bergh, whose visit to Paris had now been returned. "It's a great flight," was the en- thusiastic comment of Colonel Lind- bergh after he had finally managed+ with .the assistance of policemen to make his way toward the French air- men, following their rescu- from the cheering, weltering crowds, whose en- thusiasm exceeded all bounds. Never before in the history of aviation in this country, according to veterans of the science, have any flying men ve- ceived the reception accorded to Cap- tain Coste and his companion. PARIS"HEARS NEWS. Paris.--The greatest celebration since the Armistice was staged by Paris as loudspeakers bellowed the announcement to anxious multitudes that Captain Dieudonne Coste and Maurice Bellonte had conquered the treacherous Atlandc on September 2nd, completing the hazardous west- ward crossing from Paris to New York. The explosion of delight was almost unprecedented as the pent-up enthu- siasmfi restrained for hours in fear that the fliers might meet the fate of Nungeseer and Coli three years ago, vanished with he official word that victory had been achieved. Then the loud speakers opened up with the voice of an announcer at Cur- tiss Field, and the crowds became simply delirious as the radio man de- scribed the landing of France's great- est aviator. The reception was clear and the words came through almost as well as if the Parisians had been standing on the landing field itself. All France was thrilled, all France was proud, all France was thankful, The news was sped quickly to all parts of the Republic and the rejoicing there was similar to that in Paris, although less in volume. Through it all the people offered prayers of thanks that the two brave airmen had not suffered the fate of Nungesser and Coli. me msn, BULGARIAN VALLEY OF ROSES HAS BUMPER FLOWER CROP Karlovo, Bulgaria--The harvest of roses here has been a bumper one. Distillers where the famous attar of roses is made are hard at work, and the district is filled with the perfume of the blossoms. Villages are empty, for men, women and children are gathering the flowers. From dawn to sundown country roads s are alive with the great wagons drawn by robust horses, little donkey carts driven by women and handcarts push. ed by children--all on their way to distilleries. ~ Nearly 150 villages in the Valley of Roses, as well as a few small cities, are dependent on the rose harvest. Nearly two tons of rose blossoms ane needed tc yield a pound of essence of roses. This year the official esti- mates are that the Valley of Roses will produce nearly 7,000 tons of flowers. gy Ocean Greyhounds Have Thrilling Race Brooklyn, ....Y.~--A race at sea be- tween two of the fleetest liners afloat --the Europa and the Mauretania-- was described on Thursday, August 28th, by passengers. The Mauretania left Cherbourg on August 16th just 20 minutes before the North German Lloyd vessel departed from the same port. Six hours later the ships were beam to beam. Passengers on both thronged the decks to witness the race through the night. By Sunday the Europa, with a speed of 26% knots, left the Mauretania behind. w-------- ~ , CHINESE WOMEN ARE y GAINING FREEDOM er Week-End Eleven Die -- Auto Crashes Cause Main Fatalities. Eleven Ontario people were killed in accidents over the weekend and four were seriously injured.

For 42 days they have seen everything backwards, and they nearly backed into pier Z, instead of pier A., where their friends were to welcome them on September Tth. Forty-two days ago the two youths, who come from St. Louis, where other non-stops flights of reality and imag- ination have been incubated, left the Battery in a flivver which had but one gear--reverse, Their dashboard was equipped with a wide-vision rear mir- ror, and their bright lights were drap- ed from the after-deck of the vehicle. Otherwise their equipment was stand- ard. They propused to drive the ma- chine backwardc all the way to Cali- fornia and return. An. obliging oil company bet them the cost of gas and oil they couldnt do it. But they did. They backed their way over the Lincoln highway to Chicago, out through the wide open spaces of Kan- sas, New Mexico and Arizona, and up the back door of the Los Angeles City Hall. Their motor nevar stopped running, and untii they reached New Mexico, where they were stopped by washouts, their backward progress was never stopped. They "ok turns driving and slezping, and ate from a well-stocked commissary department they carried with them. Their speed was never more than 11 miles an hour, and for the distance averaged about six miles. They used about 1,000 gallons of gas. If they had not been rurning in reverse, which is geared at a 5 to 1 ratio over the forward, they might have travel. ed 85,000 miles with the same motor effort, but they wouldn't have seen so much of the scenery. a ------ PRINCE OF WALES' . PRIVATE HOLIDAY London.--The Prince of Wales has declined to vndertake any public en- gagements until the end of September, He feels that he needs a completely private holiday. The Prince will spend much of his time at his residence, Fort Belvedere, Sunningdale, Berkshire, where he will play golf and take flights in his Puss Moth aeroplane. The Prince wishes to convert the grounds of Fort Belvedere into a typ- ically English garden, and it is ex- pected that he will devote much of his time to this. The King and Queen go to Balmoral towards the end of this month, and the. Prince will probably visit them there. roof CAMPING RECORDS BROKEN BY BRITISH BOY SCOUTS Decreased Attendance Is Not 80 For By midable As | Betty Nuthall, English tennis star, whose recent victory over Mrs. L.

Montreal -- Establishment of the Bantalor game refuge, consisting of fifty-nine sfnare miles in York County, N.B,, has been announced. The order setting apart the territory in the parishes of Stanley and St. Mary's is signed by Charles D. Rich- ards, Minister of Lands and Mines of New Brunswick, and sets forth that "no person has the right to hunt or trap or disturb-game, fur-bearing ani- mals or birds found within the limits of this game refuge, or travel upon it with either a gun or dog at any time," The penalty for violation is a fine of $300 or six months' imprisonment. Opening of the new refuge makes a total of about seven hundred square miles of territory set aside in New Brunswick as game sanctuaries, where game and fur-bearing animals may breed and restock the hunting grounds. Mr. Richards pointed out that the policy of extending these sanctuaries had the indorsement of the New Brunswick Fish and Ganve Protective Association and other con- servative societies. --ee JUST WHAT IS A FARM?

Son and Heir Born To Belgian Prince Crown Princess Astrid Now Mother of Prince and Princess. Brussels, Belgium--Crowa Princess | bo Astrid of Belgium gave birth to a son on Sept. 7th. As her first child was a girl, the little boy becomes heir to the Belgian throne in the direct male line, The baby was born at Stuyvenberg Castle, which has been fenced uff from public curiosity by barbed wire, in order to assure the maximum of quiet for Princess Astrid. The baby Prince weighs nearly nine pounds. He was baptized with the name Baudouin Albert Axel Marie Gustave. News of the birth was announced to the populace by a salute of 101 guns and aroused great joy. Great crowds gathered outside Stuvenberg Castle to cheer Leopold, his wife and new son. ee a em WHEN MASTODON LIVED Naturalists have always supposed that the American mastodon has been extinct for at least 50,000 years. Dr. W. B. Scott, professor of geology at Princeton University, told the Na- tional Academy of Science at Wash- ington that the elephantlike animal may have lived in the state of New, York only a few hundred years be- fore the time of Columbus. He ar- rives at this conclusion from fossils in northeastern North America and the fact that a complete skeleton of a mastodon found near Quito, Ecuador, supplied convincing proof that the ani- mal had been killed by Indians not later than the fourth century A.D. Tonopah, Nev.--A new mammoth cave has been found by four men who dared the stifiing heat and humid, stale air to descend into hitherto un- penetrated depths of a cleft of rocks on the fringe of Death Valley.

Br Samm Mushroom Theory Exploded at C.N.E. Way To. Distinguish Poison Varieties Shown. Toronto,--W. 8. O'ell, mycologist of of Dominion department of agricul- ture, explodes the old familiar theory that any mushroom which peels easily is safe to eat. As a matter of fact, he points out, the poisonous classes peel more readily than the edible. In the mushroom display of the Fed- eral division of botany, at the Can- adian National Exhibition, 46 varle- ties of edible mushrooms are shown, There is a very simple and safe rule for. distingaishi o pol from the edible mushroom, Mr. O'Dell 'ob- serves. The two poisonous classes are Angel or Death Cup. These can be easily distinguished by the white gills op of tho em an the Hoga 8 cup at the base of the plant.

At Ymuiden, in the Nether- lands, a lock has been opened 1,312 feet long, 164 feet wide, and 51 feet deep. This is over 300 'eet longer than the locks of the Panama Canal, besides being wider and deéper! In the construction of this lock innumerable difficulties were encountered. The ground was so soft that 15,000 rein. forced concrete piles had to be driven te stiffer the foundations. The new Cunarder, the keel of which is being laid now, will be over 1,000 feet long. The actual length is not yet announced, but in all probabil jty it would be too much for the locks of the Panama Canal. Itswill be the biggest ship afloat, developing 200,000 h.p., which is 80,000 more than the Bremen. And it is confidently expect. ed that, three years from now, this ship will win back the "blue riband" of the Atlantic that the Bremen re- cently captured from the Mauretania The Suez Canal, fortunately, has no locks, but its width was severely tested when the Singapore floating dock was being towed from the Tyne to its destination, The dock is 172 feet wide and 855 feet long, and tow- ered above the canal like a Colossus, It was towed by ten tugs, and there was only five yards clearance between the sides of the canal and the dock-- not much when you are dealing with 80 enormous a "craft." Furthermore, all the buoys and dredgers had to be removed from the waterway while the dock passed through, and the canal actually had to be widened. at Kantara to allow ship- ping to pass.
