Conse- quently those who are planning mo- tor trips over the double holiday may rest reasonably assured that they will not encounter bad weather or road conditions, Roads throughout the state are re- ported in fairly good shape today.

Determined to See Airmen Determined to see the American airmen, however, workmen crowded the car roofs of every train in the vicinity and passengers craned their necks out of windows to their great peril in an effort to’catch even a fleeting glimpse of them. All the way from Caen to Pari four-hour trip, Commander Byrd and his companions were kept busy ac- commodating autograph hunters, and most of the passengers of tRe exp: train left their own cars at one time ‘another to enter the car where the aviators had reserved compartments. and the history of July 4. For instance, on July 4, the Dee- laration was adopted by only twelve of the colonies, New York holding back till July 9. And on July 4, the document was signed by only two people, John Hancock, president of the Congress, and Charles Thomsoh,| its secretary. The parchment copy of the Dec- laration, now in the Library of Con- ress, Was not signed until Aug. 2. fty-three delegates signed then. The last signature, that of Thomas Mel , was not affixed until 1781. And though the Declaration was thus formally adopted on July 4, the people of Philadelphia did not of- ficially know of the adoption until Monday, July 8, when the document was read from a platform erected by Rittenhouse to observe the tr t of the planet Vensus. The reader was Captainn John Hopkins, commander of the first armed brig of war of the infant navy. That eve- ning, “our late king’s coat of arms brought from the hall of the state house and bumed amid the ac- clamations of a crowd of spectators.’ News Traveled Slowly New York City heard about the Declaration on July 9 and staged sits celebration then, 4 Boston did not get the news until July 17. ‘there was a famous horseback ride connected with the story of its adop- tion of the Declaration—a ride that makes Paul Revere's performance from Cambridge to Lexington look like a mere pleasure jaunt. The rider was Caesar Rodney of Delaware, who mounted a black horse and rode 80 miles in a day and a night over the worst roads imagin- able in order to get to Philadelphia, vote for adoption, and break the tie which threatened’ to keep the Del- aware delegation off the “yes” side of Congress. John Dempsey, Brother of Fighter, Kills Wife, ‘Suicides Schenectady, N.

Levine Congratulates Them One of the first to rush up to the flyers and shake hands in congratu- lation was Charles A. Levine, arrived in Pairs yesterday Clarence D. Chamberlin. Lev: waited 15 minutes, surround crowd of his own admirers who were eager to obtain his autograph. The ceremony in the w was brief and then the flyers, emerg- ing from the station and pri led by 20° burly policemen, had to face a new mob of excited, cheering thou-}] sands. As they entered their wating cars they smiled and bowed and even ssed hands in acknowledgment of their welcome, Commander Byrd and his compan- ions said that they had no plans for the immediate future, but that they probably would remain in Paris # week or so until all official func- tions given in their honor had been, tended. Lieutenant Balchen hopes to go to Norway to see his mother and sisters, while Lieutenant No- ville's principal desire ‘ust at present: is to buy a tiny automobile and take it back to America with him. As for Acosta, he looked out of the windows at the rain that hadn’t ceased falling since their arrival in France and said he would like to be buck in his home town, San Dicgo, “right now.’ TRAGIC ENDING OF FLIGHT FIRES FRENCH IMAGINATION Paris, July 2—()—America’s new “air ambassadors” have made an im- pression on France in no way below that of their predecessors. The dramatic and almost tragic ond of their great flight has fired} French imagination; they are he-' roes of the hour. The public talks and reads about nothing but them,’ the newspapers almost entirely being’ given over to long accounts of their flight and their near-fatal landing’ in the sea over Ver-Sur-Mer. In intellectual circles th: is intense, for there is a scientific nature about the flight of Command- er Byrd and his three companions that appeals more than the sportin, quality, and the hope is expresse that the commander will consent to give some account of the valual observations made -duging the dif- ficult journey. . Covered 4,200 Miies Commander Byrd calculates that’ from the time the America took of! at Roosevelt Field, N. ¥., until the forced landin, s made, it covered 4,200 miles. This’ would be 295 miles further than the distance covered by Clarence D, Chamberlin and Charles A. Levine in their recent transatlantic t from New York to Germany. According to the flyers they came down at 8:80 o'clock Fri- day morning, French standard time, whieh would make their actual time in the air 42 houts six minutes. The time over the’ ocean was computed |by the commander as 19 hours. | ‘The America, badly damaged by the impact of landing on the water, tests -on the beach at Ver-Sur-Mer, it was havled ashore by fish-| ermen and naval men from the base at’ Cherbourg under the supervision of two: of the airmen, Bert Acosta! interest! ad ee aeuteneel jerndt pbiehen. ras. i . bear + q ir in remov nd sent Bedadvcatry ‘on with iy tyalning as/on_ thelr Paris. with other best pet to - his je seclusion timates of former champion that he returned by ‘automobile it Saratoga had provided for John tHe reason arts that . eadily removed, 1] | Gamnande Syed’ has ot ‘abandone ‘plane canbe salvaged. “There w wat ut answer to our some ber) boat, but rowed ashore all right. | ¢ Tt was about 200 seht and udden jolt and T cannot announce when we J[Acosti didn’t hear, i ” rn The: was nothing wor; ee wes alts bruises and shocks, however When asked where he wouid we : : our little boat after clearing out the cabinet. puble pumping up the (ruo t j aws ; fold program embracinng the find- | r {Ch ; c : #- Gerberry, the :location vot ates | Hench: " reads and the spreading. of intel- | lie ene licent: information concerning ba oft-ha called at kod | ath paws yall han q ’ | 4 : E so_ the * | ho is northwest of the piteh Attention | u ors box, thus the left-handed huvler H ae 4 oe Aik Ara co Ane wenth: Trap Shooters | Traps will be open at 2 p.m. Sunday and 8:30 a. m. the 8) A Fourth. ecal events will be ar- : nged en the grounds both PRICE OWENS ELTINGE BLOCK , Mahdan State “Pornatwent - h tide.
