The escort planes that came out from Omaha missed us in the sky and came down at Fort Crook a half hour after we had landed on oud 440 mile flight. The next morning we hurried down the Missouri river for 125 miles to St. Joseph, where we landed to take on fuel and attend a etvio luncheon at which place we were presented with gold plaques entitling us to free ad- mission to everything in that city as long as we live. Oklahoma Leads tn Flying “A teow minutes before 1:30 we bade au revoir to our friends in St. Jos- eph, Jumped into our cockpits and torty minutes later circled over Kan- sas City before landing in a bee line for Muskogee. This hop meant a total of 450 miles for that day, As we approached the Arkansas river ‘we were met by nearly a hundred plan The air seemed alive with them, and they turned out to be privately owned busses that citizens of Oklahoma had fiown in from var fous parts of the state. In aviation, Oklahoma. is one of the most pro- gressive states in the union. Her cowboys and of] drillera are taking as naturally to flying as they took to shoting up the town in the early days, “Although Muskeges js only a small olty, fully 8,000 people were waiting at HAt Box fleld to gtve us one of the heartieat receptions that we met with anywhere, As we olr- cled and glided into the wind @ sa- lute of twentysone gunw was fired and at a banquet that night we were presented With gold medallicne com- memorating our visit, “Next morning when we te puch eff early for Texas ft Yee <\Ts aw WERE “WE STU PANE ABOUT 51X HONDREO SEATS MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1925 ——_———- AN “TRE PAVILION - THATiL BRING THE GRAND TOTAL UF To Horse S FL y NOW SALLY DO ANYTHING THE WORLD FOR You BUT CONT ask ME TO ee gest to beat the cars, and the wind was fore noon the celestial faucets were turned off by Jupiter Pluvius just as suddenly as they had been turned so strong that it blew in the win- dows of our hotel. But shortly be- on, and old Sol blazed to lure us forth. From mushy, boggy Hat Box field we ascended into the skies and droned on across Oklahoma and the Red river to Dallas, Texas. Droned is the only word to express it, be. cause a stiff head wind even made it possible for the ‘Katy Filer’ to sprint ahead of us.

After landing at I. field before a crowd of some 40,000 people, we attended another banquet very gratefully accepted more Lib- erty bonds, and shoved off the fol- lowing day, Sept. 20, for a 645 mile hop all the way to El Paso. Long Drag Across Texas “Again we had to face a stiff head wind. We had left Dallas at 9:40 and three hours later broke our jour- ney for an hour by landing at Sweet- water, where we took on more gas and oil and enjoved a picnic lunch that had been prepared by the thoughtful inhabitants of this city that Hes In the heart of the vast em- Pire-we call Texas, Thenfrom 1:50 until dusk we flew on and on across oases of farm lands, mountains, and barren country. As we approached the Rio Grande and Mexico the wing surfaces of our cruisers glistened tn the soft light of one of those match- less sunsets for which the southwest and the painted desret are famous. “With red fire shooting from our exhausts we taxied up to our han- gars on the north bank of the Rio Grande while the crowd of 20,000 people broke through tho guards and surged around us. That night we resumed our ordeal by banquet, met a lot more of our fellow airmen, and were presented with beautifully em- brolderied Mexican zerapas, the type of Spanish shawls that go so well with the beauty of a siren of Seville or a dark haired debutante of Du. busue. Fly Over Snowstorm “On our way to Tucson, just as ‘we crossed the border between New Mexico and Arizona, we encountered @ snowstorm and rose 6,400 feet to get above It. The most of this flight was made acro! desert, inhabited solely by wandering Indians. About 1 o'clock we passed over the Wincon mountains, and a few minutes later landed at Tuscon. A luncheon and banquet, as usual had been arranged by the city fathers of this venerable and picturesque Arizona metropolis, which claims to be the oldest city on the North American continent founded by Europeans. ‘avaho blankets, the choicest tn all the painted desert, were presented to us by different cities, such as Tuscon, Phoenix, Bisbes and others. ‘Then at 7:30 on the morning of Sept. 22, after a detour to enable us to salute the war veterans in the near. by tubercular hospital, we headed west over the Arizona desert to- ward the Colorado river and southern California, on what was to us the most important leg of our entire Journey around the globe, “Although our long long trail was not officially to come to an end un- til we reached Seattle, nevertheless at the outset of our trip we had flown our Douglea cruisers down to San Diego to get the instruments adjusted, therefore if we could but reach Rockwell field, Coronado, we knew that no matter what happened on the rest of our flight from there on up the Pacific coast, we would already have flown the entire dis. tance around the world, So thi day's fight waa the one thet was to bring all our dreams true, ——— ted jt wa it Tesulte try a Tribune Classified BARAEY:'S ALOCKY Dos ‘ si o ins BESIDES iTS HIS — nor MAN no sa, bd BE - SCARED AS THE GROOM mM NOT SO DOMB PLACE By Billey De Beck / ee Sepie INSOE INFORMATION C8 How To CRACK 1 A SAFE : ' 1 i , : 1 2 t AS TO ASK ——$= Ostriches May be able to eat barbed Uquor—but when a puppy swallows « trouble.
