The American army flyers encircling the world sailed down onto Kashwabara bay here Saturday morning in a snow storm; thiB morning they mounted from the water and disappeared it the early morning fog. The flyers had waited here since Saturday for good weath er. Sunday was a disappointment. Snow fell Intermittently and a biting wind blew continuously. The air men rested and in the evening were entertained aboard the Japanese de stroyer Tokitsukaie. The early dawn in this latitude It comes before 2 o'clock found the flyers astir. The planes were fueled the engines were tuned. The low hanging fog threatened to make nec essary another postponement, but from tbe U. S. S. Pope at Hltakappa Bay, Yetorofu Island, and from the Japanese destroyer Hamakaze, half way between the two stops, came reports of excellent flying condi tions. The air cruiser New Orleans took the air at 7:36 a. m. quickly fol lowed by the Boston and tbe Chica go In order. Tbe take-orr was easy; tbe planes circled, once over head: the flag plane Chicago took the lead and all three disappeared in the morning haze. 'oelsted Press lsed Wlrs.) WASHINGTON. May 19.

The veto was 59 to 26 QUT ,of, tb! U086b,ur.to overthrow the veto. This is two more than the necessary Strawnerrv enrnivnl In t i .nnt.al which ended on Saturday evening. There were 166,239 votes cast in the contest, and less than four thousand votes separated the three leaders In the race. Miss Vivian Orcutt finished second and Miss Clarice Harpester third, all of these contestants having over fifty thousand votes. The queen s race was the most spirited ever held In the city, and after all of tbe costs are paid, Includ ing the cost of the automobile to be given away on the night of the queen's ball, the contest will have re sulted In a profit of more than $1,000. Queen Mary, who will rulo over Roseburg and Douglas county for three days of mirth and Jollity, has a personality that will make ber In stantly popular with her large num ber of faithful subjects. While the question of bobbed hair or long bair Is agitating the Rose festival commit tee at Portland the Roseburg carnival committee sensibly did not bring up the matter as each of the contestants for queen had bobbed hair. So Queen Mary's curly black hair is becomingly bobbed, her eyes are gray blue, and her cheeks the natural rose color that could only go with such hair and eyes. Queen Mary Is hardly the flap per type, her bclgbth of five feet seven Inches giving ber a grace and dignity very becoming to a queen. Her friendly smile makes Instant "friends for her, and Is bestowed without par tiality on all alike. Queen Mary Is 18 years old, and graduated from Roseburg high school with honors last year. She is the niece of Mr. and Mrs. R.

Over five hundred marksmen participated In tbe shoot ing, and over 350 were fed on Ump qua river salmon and sturgeon at the big dinner which was served at the gun club grounds. There were a great number of visitors from Coos Bay and Eugene sod these boys car ried away many or tbe honors of tbe day. There were some exceptionally fine scores made In various events, and everyone enjoyed tbe day to th utmost. There were many special events, bam shoots and purse shoots. but the greatest fun of all was the tower shoot, which was something new to mot of those present.

Several republican organization leaders joined with a strong democratic line-up in upsetting the veto on a vote which was in doubt until the last moment - Thirty republicans, twenty-seven democrats and the two farmer-labor senators voted to over-ride the veto.

The senate voted virtually without debate. An almost absolute silence prevailed during the roll call and as the result was announced cheering broke out In the crowded gallery. President Cummins ordered the strgeant-st-arms to clear the gallery, but as he added, "If the disturbance continues," the democrats arose and applauded loudly. The house on Saturday, by a margin of 62 votes over-rode the veto, 313 to 78, thus putting definitely up to the senate for the second time the final word on the legislation. The bill provides for 20-year endowment Insurance policies and for cash payments to veterans not entitled to more than $50 In adjusted service credits. (Associated Press Leased Wire.)

Msy 19 Enacts mint of the war veteran bonus bill Into law has laid upon tbe shoulders of the government departments an administrative task so huge that the flvures Involved stagger tbe Imagin ation. They must explore a veritable mountain of war records. From that mass of musty documents they must pick out the Individual war histor ies of more than 6.893.000 men to provide the data upon which alone bonus payments of any kind can be mads. The dally servlco of every soldier, sailor or marine who lerved under the flag In the Great War at home or abroad. Is subject now to minute examination. Through his days of sickness snd health, of training at home or abroad, the searchers must follow each man through the wilder ness of official records. And tho bulk of tbe tssk must be done In the close packed filing rases of the Wsr Department where tbe Intimate official story of America at war alone Is told. In these records alone are more than 167.000.000 separate docu ments, each of which It may be nec essary to hsndle many times before the vetersns can all be assured of bonus payments. It will require 27 separate checking operations to make the examination of the file and It will take 2,800 clerks to do the work In the war department alone. There are amazing stories by the hundreds of thousands among these Individual war records. There are tales of highest heroism, of great ad venture: tales, too. rich In pathos and sacrifice.
