WORLD AVIATORS NOW HOME
American Soil Touched After Flight
From Greenland to Labrador.
U, S. S. Richmond, at Ice Tickle,
Labrador. The American army filers,
Lieutenant Lowell II. Smith and Lieu
tenant Erik Nelson, came overseas
Sunday from Greonlaud to Labrador,
closing up another long and perilous
gap lu their round-the-world flight.
They completed the air Journey from
the old world to the new, speeding
across that dangerous and Ice-hound
stretch of water from Ivlgtut to Ice
Tickle, a land-locked bay behind lofty
ridges, two miles north ot Iudlan
Harbor.
With the American pilots were their
mechanicians, l.leuteuaut John Hard
ing Jr. and Lieutenant Leslie P.
Arnold, to whose unceasing labors not
a little ot the success ot the flight is
due. Ships ot the American navy
have guarded this course for many
days.
Just five months and It days after
beginning their world-girdling tour,
the American fliers landed In the
waters of continental North America.
They took the air at Ivlgtut at 6:29
A. M eastern standard time, and ar
rived at Ice Tickle at MS P. M, east
ern standard time. They completed
the difficult crossing ot the North At
lantic, beset with mishaps and delays
in the early stages, covering the last
stretch ot 570 miles next to the Iceland-Greenland
flight the most diffi
cult of the entire Atlantic Journey
in six hours and 49 minutes. They
flew In a northwest wind which blew
from 20 to 40 miles an hour and speed
ed their machines at times as high
as 126 miles an hour.
Sunday the American army men
brought to a successful termination
the first continuous aerial circumna
vigation ot the earth, excluding the
North American continent. Their was
the first westbound crossing ot the
Atlantic ocean by airplane.
The planes swept in from the ocean
like huge gray gulls and, flying low
over the broad expanse ot water, cir
cled until they dropped to their bright
yellow buoys and floated lightly In
the green water under the shelter of
lofty ridges of rocks.
This cove was chosen because of
comparatively safe landing conditions
and for the additional reason that It
is situated on a pronfbnlory Jutting
toward Greenland, providing the short
est route across the arm ot the At
lantic which extends northwest into
Davis strait.
On shore near where the planes
were moored were a group ot news
paper men and camera men who had
lived on the destroyers here since
August 2. a few fisher folk and a de
tail ot sailors from the Lawrence.

ADOPTS
DAWES DEBT PLAN
Railway Bill Is Approved by
Two-thirds Vote.
RIVALS YIELD POWER
Representatives Empowered to Sign
Proposals on Reparations Ac.
cepted at London.
Berlin. The German rclchstag Frl
day accepted the Dawes reparation
plan agreement concluded at the.ro
cent London conference by adopting,
by a vote ot 314 to 127, the neeessarj
two-thirds majority, the railway bill
to put into effect the provisions ot the
London agreement.
The German nationalists, whose
open opposition to the agreement and
whose attacks on It during the debate
had made the results of the voting
problematical, voted In favor ot the
railway bill, but they voted against
the banking bill, another of the Dawes
measures, which was adopted by a
vote of 295 to 172, a two-thirds vote
being unnecessary on this bill.
The industrial debenture bill, the
third ot those provided under the
Dawes plan, also was adopted by the
necessary majority. The vote on the
railway measure provided 20 voices In
favor of the bill In excess ot the two
thirds majority which was required,
more than two-thirds of the national
ists favoring Its acceptance.
It was the eleventh-hour agreement
between the government and the na
tionalist which resulted in the de
flection ot 57 votes from the ranks of
this opposition party and uhlch en
abled the government to obtain a con
stitutional majority in support of its
work at London.
L'p until ten minutes before the vote
was taken on the all-Important rail
way' bill the outcome of Friday's vot
ing on the London agreement had been
wholly conjectural, although persons
In well-Informed circles had learned
early in the day of a peace part whlrb
was said to have been concluded be
tween Foreign Minister Stresrmann
and the nationalists.
The price which the government
paid for the support of the national
ists Is reported to be a promise that
the present cabinet will be reconsti
tuted In the near future to Include
several nationalists.
The government's approval ot a tar
iff on grain also Is reported to be part
of the bargain made by Dr. Strese
mann, who acted as a go between' for
the present ministry.
When the vote on the railway bill
was announced there was a deafening
roar ot bowls and Jeers from the com
munists and the members of the ex
treme right Admiral von Tlrpltx and
other nationalist leaders and the par
ty's agrarian wing voted In favor of
the agreement, while the communists,
Von Lndcndorffs party and about 50
nationalists comprised the opposition.

O
Have You This Habit?
By Margaret Morison
DRIVING A BARGAIN
pEJUUrS there had come to Ufa
again In Phoenicia Flint the spirit
ot some old Roman-British ancestor,
a grim trader In pelts and tin. Who
knowsT At all events, there wss the
same aquiline profile, the same tight,
thin lips, the same love of a bsrgala
for Its own sake and the rigor of the
game.
When she was a young girl of seven
teen, her habit of making a good deal
was already fully developed. That Is
the age when femininity enjoys ei
travagantly exchanging Its various
frivolous possessions. It was a ques
tion of a brooch ot Phoenicia's for the
party dress ot one of ber friends. The
friend wss doubtful; and Phoenicia,
with that old Inherited trading In
stinct of hers, did not press her bid.
Many ribbons and furbelows had
changed owners when finally Phoenicia
said as with sn after thought. "I tell
you what I'll dd; I'll give you this pis
of mine for those gloves of yours If
yon throw In your old party dress 1"
And the dress wss Miss Flint's.
At the reduction sale at a small
shop, one saw the glitter In her eye
that meant business. She would hold
a French hat off at arm's length criti
cally with the expression of one who
knew a good thing really. Tlien she
would ask for the original price and
smile like an expert unbegulled.
Finally, picking up her gloves to de
part, she would say casually over her
shoulder, I will give such-and-such
for the hat," naming a figure several
dollars below the msrked price. Usual
ly she got what she was after. And
her habit grew apace. '
Then Phoenicia fell In love In love,
that Is, with ss much ot her emotion
as bad not been diverted to business.
At all events, she wsnted to marry a
certain young man. Therefore, there
naturally ensued a conflict within her
personality. She went to her father;
her fiance was poor; they couldn't
afford to marry on his present Income;
her own allowance from the family
lncressed somewhat would meet all
needs so long as there were no chil
dren, etc., etc. And the bsrgsln wss
made. That same day, Phoenicia called
upon her aunt to announce her en
gagement She had decided upon an
early wedding, she said, although ber
husband would not be In a position to
support her according to their stand
ards for some time; ot course her fa
ther was doing what be could, but that
was not much. And so forth and so
forth. The upshot wss that aunt
doubled the allowance, and Phoenicia
faced matrimony with the sense of hav
ing successfully combined business
nd pleasure.
That evening the divulged to her
fiance what a useful partner he was
taking Into his life, Phoenicia, how
ever, struck no answering spark. 'In
deed there was coldness, silence, and
a somewhat abrupt departure where
she had looked for endearments and
congratulations. When eventually Jfrr
engagement was railed off, she was for
the first time In her life baffled. She
had come upon a situation where busi
ness methods would not work. Her
habit of driving a hard bargain bad
met Hi Waterloo.
