A trans-Pacific flight presents several difficulties not encountered in flying across the Atlantic. The reason for fixing the time in the winter months is that the northern anti-trade winds die dowz in September. As much of the} flight would take place within the tropics, winter conditions would not obtain. The flight would begin with a straight-away jump of 2,400 miles, without a scrap of land in sight. This tre- mendous distance makes the problem of carrying enough gasoline extremely difficult to solve. Moreover, the risk would be great, as there are comparatively few craft even along this main artery of Pacific sea-traffic. Alcock’s flight across the Atlantic was only 1,800 miles long, but in the North Atlantic he encountered weather con- ditions far more severe than those between Venice and), Hawaii. From Hawaii, the aviators might fly by two routes, | west or southwest. The western route, to Yokohama or the Philippines, would present the greater stretches of landless ocean, and would be 260 miles farther. Weather conditions, however, are more likely to be equable. The western route would be as follows: Venice to Hawaii +----2,400 miles Hawaii to Midway Island 1,400 miles Midway Island to Guam..........2,800 miles Guam to Yokohama. . -1,420 miles Total. . 8,020 miles From Guam to “Manila is 1,640 miles, or 220 miles} farther than to Yokohama.

Shoes ranged in price from 75 cents to $3.50, and clothing was about a fourth the price of today. Whisky was eight and 10 cents @ quart and corn was 12 and 13 cents a bushel.

The big burglar alarm tn the Cen- tral Police station reverberated with a noisy clangor shortly after 6 o’clock today and half a dozen doz- ing “coppers” grabbed pistols, shot- guns and whatever weapons they found handy and hurried with all speed to the office of the property |clerk of the police department in the Hall of Justice, from which source the alarm came. The “coppers” burst into the room to find all serene, and not a sign of burglars anywhere. “Funny! mutters Capt. Michael Carroll, turning to his brave follow- ers. “Somebody must have rung that alarm So they proceeded with an investi- gation which ended with the discov- ery that a tiny mouse had gnawed away the insulation on the wires at- | tached to the alarm, Did you ever hear a man with an | obese bank balance say that the love \of money was the root of all evil? CANADIAN ROAD SPENDS MILLIONS OTTAWA, Canada, July 25.—It is estimated by officials of the Canadian National railway that $35,000,000 will be spent for new equipment during the present year.

Miss Tromp, the name, by the way, is significant—has spent five years wandering the Pacific coast, clad in a hiking suit and armed with her own personality and a small revolv- er.
