WORLD FLIERS REACH HOME Parents Welcome Aviators at San Diego Seattle is Goal. San Diego. Cal. America's round-the-world fliers returned Monday to Kockwell field, San Diego, from which they took off last March to start ou their globe-enclreling trip. As if to give good measure to an achievement already heralded far and wide, the fliers got in ahead of the announced schedule, disappointing part of a large crowd which was assembling to meet and cheer them, but there was enough of a crowd on hand to make the wel i onio a real one, and the aviators nui.it' it plain that they appreciated the re ceptlon. The announced plan is for the fliers to continue as far north as Seattle. The end of the flight as far as Sau Diego Is concerned came at 10:34: IS A. ML, when lieutenant Lowell H. Smith, commander of the squadron, dropped the wheels of his air cruiser en the ground of historic Rockwell field, where the army turned out many fliers for service in the world war and where there still remains a great es tablishment for the training of Amer ican army aviators. Lieutenant Eric Nelson, wingmate of Smith on the entire world voyage, brought his ship to the field at 10:34:51. followed by Lieutenant Leigh Wade at 10 .35 o'clock. Above the crash of the band, the cheers of the spectators and even the roar of the propellers as Lieutenant Smith taxied his ship up to the dead line, came a cry from the lips of Mrs. Jasper Smith, mother of the world flight commander. It was: "I want my boy." From his seat in the forward cock pit. Smith, his grime-smeared face eagerly scanning the crowds for the sight of those whom he loved best, saw his mother and father wildly wav ing liny American flags to attract his attention. Major Shepler W. Fitzgerald, com mander of Rockwell field, sprang onto the lower wing section, reached through the strut wires and shook Smith's hand. "Let me get down, major." said Smith. "I want to get to my mother." Jumping from the plane. Smith rushed into his mother's arms. "My boy. my wonderful boy," she whispered as she kissed the flight commander time and again. Smith's father, reaching the only spot on the army aviator's face that was not being smothered with kisses by his wife, reached his arm around both and planted a resounding smack on his fboy's right ear. It was more than Lieutenant Smith could stand and not give vent to his feelings. The man. noted throughout the American air service for bis steel nerve, his stoical demeanor in the face of the greatest danger, wept softly. Another mother, too. wept for Joy at the home-coming of the globe air men. She was Mrs. Harding, mother of Llentenant Harding, relief pilot of Lieutenant Nelson. "God bless you," said Mrs. Harding as she flung her arms around her boy's neck and kissed him. "God has brought you back safely to me." TORNADO Two Masked Men Rob Inn. Kureka. Cal.
