Levine again postponed | his transatlantic hop today, weather) reports showing that a 35-mile gale was blowing over the north Atlantic. Levine and his pilot, Captain Wal- ter Hinchcliffe, arrived early this morning at the Cranwell airdrome, where their monoplane, the Colur bia, is in readiness. They were r luctant to postpone their attempt again, but bowed to the advice of the meterorological experts. Some of the weather men w:th whom Levine was in touch suid three or four weeks might elapse before good flying conditions over the At- lantic could be expected. Levine suggested, in view of this, that the Atlantic flight be called off and that ithe hop be made instead in the di- rection of Karachi, India. Captain Hincheliffe, however, demurred and asked that the waiting period be ex- tended until September 15.

The steamer reported that she was 83 miles away. “The Transylvania is now 83 miles from the plane and, owing to the pitch darkness, it will be difficult to see the plane,” read a message from the captain of the steamer. At the same time the steamships California, Carmania and Lapland, all westward bound to the states, re- ported picking up the S O 8S. At least the Carmania and the Lapland were believed to be in the general vicinity of Old Glory, although fur- ther away than the Transylvania. Warships to Join Hunt Not only were great liners doing their utmost to bear aid to Old Glory, but the navy department broadcast the news of the airplane's plight to al! naval vessels of the Atlantic fleet, It was assumed that within o short time warships would be ploughing to- wards the monoplane, Foremost in the minds of all dur- ing the hours of ‘anxiety was the question of whether Old Glory had suffered the same fate as her ill- starred sister ship, the St. Raphael, lost recently in an effort to fly the westward course of the Atlantic with the aged Princess Lowenstein-Werth- ¢im and two pilots aboard. Fresh in too, was the fate of the {Dallas Spirit, which never was heard :{from after sending out an S OS on {her flight over the Pacific from San Francisco to Honolulu.

Contracts have already been let for gravel surfacing the Red Trail in Burleigh county with the exception of about 12 miles in the eastern part of the county, and the work is now{in which airplane was sigh' either in progress or will be started soon. The highway commission will prepate plans and specifications for the last open stretch as soon as pos- sible and bids will probably be asked on the job in the October lettings. It may not be possible to complete the work this winter, it was pointed out today by H. C. Frahm. chief high- way engineer, but if contracts are let late this fall the work can be done early next spring. Dream Comes True This action on the part of the Bur- leigh county board brings to a real- ity the dream of many yea‘ st of having a gravel surfaced from Fargo to Bismarck. The road is sur- faced from Fargo to Jamestown at the present time and the entire dis- tance from Jamestown to the Bur- leigh county line, with the exception of 17.4 miles in Kidder county, is now under gravel contract.
