Ooebel made the flight in less j
than 19 hours, reducing the ree- j
ord by eight hours.
With the Panama Canal we ;

South America. Battleships go j
from New York throu
h the !
Panama Canal to Sun Fran
cisco, or vice versa, in less than
two weeks.
The battleship is now a joke
on which our country spends
millions because those that
make the battleships need the
money.
The real defense and attack,
as British experiments have
proved, is the airship.
We know now that we could

Less than two hours beforo the

being deferred mull the last mo

to confer wlllt Smith around 5 p.

close to the governor thought, he
would hold out for Ihc outdoor ex
ercises unless the rain turned Into
a downpour and scattered the thou
sands who were expected to stand
on the lawns and bordering streets
to hear the speech.
An emergency radio hookup had
been Installed In the assembly

outside world nnd emergency tele,
graph instruments also were hook

Chairs wero placed In the assem

stood, but accommodations were
available there for only a Utile
more than 1 l'mu, whereas seals
were provided for several thousand

Doors of the assembly chamber
also were taken ot f to allow a
more free influx. An ante-chatn-her,
with luwo divans around Its
walls and nrfordlng a view ol the
chambers dins, could take care of
lOh or more.
Amplifiers were left In their
places on the outside platform and
around I he surrounding st reels,
now displaying banners and flags,
and the crowds that hail been pour
