He also was having difficulty feed- ing his reserve supply of lubricating oil. Instead of rigging a pump to| pour in additional oil, he had counted on pouring it from a spare | can into a pipe he had located on his cowling. Every time he poured a quart, about half of it blew ba in his face, and the little cabin was | S0 covered with oil that he was hav-| ing difficulty seeing out the win-| dow. | Owen had buiit emergency gas| tanks in the cabin so that he was able to see out of but one side of fhe cabin. It was on his blind side that he crashed. | Carried Messages : Laying like a broken bird in the| mud this morning, the little ship carried many undelivered messages | on its wings in addition to the labels which heralded forth the *“World's first international non-| stop flight with an automobile en-| '~ For example, there was| “Good Juck from Gladys,” “Let’s go | Russ,” & “good luck” insignia from “Rifk« Billy,” “Hello Mrs. Goss at Juneau, Alaska,” from an unsigned . “Happy Landings” from Adams” and signatures in- ‘Miss Aquilla Mathews, Bat- THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY. i I i | llllll|!|l|lllllIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIl||||I|||IIIIIIIII!!IIIIIIIIIl_llllllIllIIIllllIflIlllllIl}: ODES the MOMENT t Store” | i i {0 = Tailored Teed; Are Back on the Avenue With the whole fashion world teeming with ideas and defighs for winter styles, smart New Yorkers are donning tailleurs again.

WEATHER bsmqrsrs 1 The storm area that was over f.h'e“"meutlan Islands yesterday morning has decreased in intensity and moved slightly southward { during the past 24 hours, the lowest reported pressure this morning being 29.40 inches, a short distanc> south of Dutch Harbor. High barometric pressure prevailed from northwestern Canada westward to Nome, the crest being 30.46 inches at Fort Norman, Canada. This general pressure distribtion has been attended by precipitation over the Aleutians, and lower Yukon Valley, by fog over the Puget Sound, and by generally fair weather over the remainder of the field of observation. It was cooler last night over Southeast Alaska. Cooler weather is indicated over the northern portion of Southeast Alaska tonight, with frost. | EIG H T wlN PR]ZES !Mrs. E.
