The best previous American record was made by Atwood himself when he flew 148 miles from Atlantic City to Baltimore. July 10. The beat International eroaveoun-j try record la held - by Andre Beau mont, who. In the Paris-Rom contest, covered 401 miles in a single day, but In thla Instance he made three land ings, while Atwood today landed only twice between start and finish. Atwood In a biplane left St. Louis at 8:05 a. m. He landed In Chicago at 6:19 p. m. Hla total time betweea St Louis and Chicago, counting the delay a occasioned by the two atop, waa ten houra 14 minutes. - His actual tlm in the air, Atwood aserts, la three hours and II minutes less than tbe scheduled time for ex prea trains. . Sailing Into Chicago from the south west a lon apeck In the clouds, he made direct for the downtown dis trict and hovered for a tlm over the kyacrapera. Suddenly the crowd at the aviation grounda noticed the on-eemlng stran ger and a voice shouted, That'a At wood from St Louie." Immediately the vast assemblage waa In an up roar. Two or three of the armen Bailed' out to meet Atwood. ' Atwood will resume hla Journey eastward tomorrow afternoon. He. aald he probably would take a course along the Lake Shore railroad. POPE'S CONDITIO!! . NOTSOSATISFACW ROME, Aug. 15. 12:30 a. m. Pope Plua la not well at thla hour aa he was early last (Monday) night.' Hla aleep has been less tranquil and he twice awoke complaining of pains in the affected knee. IJla tempera ture also haa slightly increased over that of the early houra of the night Many dispatches from all parts of the world expressing hope for the (.Pope's quick recovery continue to ar rive at the Vatican. The prompt action of Policemen Green and Frost Monday night pre vented what orobably would have been a disastrous btase In tb block on the west aide of Main street be tween Sixth and Seventh streets. Mr. Oreen, while paalng the grocery store of F. T. Barlow, at 611 Main street, discovered that the room was filled with smoke. - He realised that there waa no Immediate danger and sum moned Mr. Barlow, who opened the door. In the meantime the fire alarm waa sounded and the department re-" ponded, but Policeman Frost, stand ing at the door, announced that it would not be necessary to pour water on the fire. Tbe Ore waa located In a wood box, and evidently had been smouldering for houra. Mr. Barlow thinka It caught from a lighted cigar or cigarette which waa carlessly thrown In the bin. The prompt dis covery of the extent of the fire by Policemen Green and Frost eaved the ator from being drenched by the department - and prevented heavy damage to the atock. v NELL BURDIIIE AND HEMPLOnSWED Mra.
