SPANS CONTINENT IN DAY New York-San Francisco Dash Is Com pleted by Aviator Maughan. Crissy Field, Sun Francisco. -Lieutenant Russell L. Maughan, army flier, successfully completed his daylight long distance flight Monday from New York to San Francisco when he landed at Crissy Field at 9:17:15 P. M. He arrived in Snu Francisco at 9:41 P. M. As soon as the plane landed news paper men broke through police lines holding back a huge crowd lining the field and greeted the fliers. A few- seconds later the mammoth throng of spectators, cheering and shouting, while automobile sirens shrieked in a bedlam of noise, surged over the landing ti M and surrouuded the plane. Maughau landed in a brilliant path way, huge flares making the field al most as light as day. The landing was made without mishap. The plane, in which Maughn left New York At 2:59V4 A. M. (eastern time), Monday on his third attempt to span the continent, was first sighted when he circled the field twice in the deepening dusk. Maughan dropped down on the field at the northeast corner and taxied to the center of the field. There the plane became the center ot a surging, shouting, wildly excited mass of spec tators. The way was cleared however, for news photographers to take pictures of the plane and the daring flier. Maughan's landing at 9:47:15 P. M. made his time for the 2S50-niile air line dash from New Y'ork. including five refueling stops en route, 21 hours 47 minutes, slightly under his orig inal estimate of the time the flight would consume. Apparently almost overcome with emotion and jubilant at the victory which he had achieved, Lieuteant Maughan seemed unable to -speak hen his plane came to a stop. His face bore a serious and drawn expres slon. He was lifted bodily from the cock pit by his cneering comrades ot the air service and carried on their should ers through the swirling crowd to a rear door of the army headquarters. Lieutenant Maughan's landing time was given officially as 9:47:15 o'clock. making his total elapsed time for tht trip 21 hours, 47 minutes 45 seconds. The demonstration accorded Mau ghan was without parallel in the his tory of local aviation events. Darkness already clothed the field when the drone of his motor first was heard. The crowd began cheering. Maughan s plane then was lost to view in a slight mist which overhung the field, although its shadow could be discerned intermittently. Un his second circuit over the field the mist blotted it from sight completely, and the din burst forth with renewed vigor when he unexpectedly soared down the field at the south end of the big quadrangle. "Gee, but, its good to be here," were the first words of Lieutenant Maughan as he was lifted from the cockpit ol his plane "I am tired but happy." Aside from evidences of nervous ness and extreme fatigue, the airman was in excellent physical condtion de spite the rigorous Journey he had com pleted.

It would seem from ex pertinents of Blqukar and Card at Le land Stanford Junior university that a vegetarian diet practiced during sue ceedlng generations "would result in the extinction" of those practicing It, Dr. C.

Dr. Moulton said that the calorie measurement "Is an inadequate expression of food value." Chicago. A plun for grain tanners to own and control a huge system ot elevators and grain facilities now con trolled by tivo large board ot trade firms, which would bo merged in a co operative association, Saturday was in the hands of u committee of the Amer ican Farm Bureau federation, headed by O. E. Bradfute, president of the federation, us chairman ot the com mittee. The merger plan would involve about $25,000,000, it was said, repre senting the appraised value ot the properties of the five companies. The plan was indorsed by George .Marcy, president of the Armour Grain company, who said he believed it would go through. Although the firm of James A. Pat ten, known us the "wheat king" until he retired from operations on the board of trade, was mentioned In an announcement from the Farm BVMI federation late Saturday, Mr. I'atien said he had had no connection with the merger arrangement. John Callan O'Loughlln, spukesmau for Kmanuel F. Rosenbaum ot the Rosenbaum Grain corporation, said ap proval by the government ot such a plun as was proposed was already in dicated by the Capper-Volstead net and similar federal legislation. He added that the department of agricul ture was on record as encouragiug co operatives. Mr. O'Loughlln said he had conferred with farm bureau rep resentatives in Washington. The special committee of the Farm Bureau federation of which President IJradfute is chairman, appointed to study the co-operative merger plan, probably will meet within a week, It was announced. Mr. Marcy, head of the Armour Grain company, in discussing the plan, said the co-operative movement, fav ored by President Coolidge and aided by Frank O. Lowden, ex-governor of Illinois, had grown to an extent not generally suspected. "I do nut know what the other firms think, but we are certainly willing to go In and the matter is taking con crete shape," be said. "It will be a good thing for the farmer and a! for the present grain marketing ays tern. This plan will not upset the ex isting marketing mechanism In th. slightest. Grain must move through existing channels, but it will move in more orderly fashion. The function of speculation will not be interfered with. The proposed marketing cor poration would have to hedge and al ways be even on the market, Just like the millers. "This cooperative elevator move ment lias attained greater dimensions than people generally suppose. Presi dent Coolidge Is in favor of it and ex Governor Lowden has done much to promote it. But the cooperative ; valors grew up hit or miss Without any central organization. Under this plaa all marketing activities will bo co-ordinated. 'The farmers can still have tin b pools and hold or sell as they see fit, but when their representatives sit down with the expert grain market Hit men we have in Armour and other companies, and learn of the current situation, they can advise their local organizations much better as to their course."
