A famine of silver coins is threat

MAKES DARING FLIGHT
ATWOOD FLIES FROM NEW YORK
TO ATLANTIC CITY.
Aviator Has Fierce Battle With Gale
and Is Much Fatisued at
End of Trip.

Atlantic City, N. j., July 5.-Harry
N. Atwood Of Boston, the newest SEN
sation in aero ranks, is the popular
idol of Atlantic Citys half million
Fourth of July population.
His daring five-hour fight from Gov
ernor's island to Atlantic City, the
first leg of his air trip to Washing
ton, ended on the beach in front Of
the Marlborough+Eienheim in the
midst of a cheering throng.
Atwood was forced to descend three
times during his flight shoreward to
take on gasoline. His first supply of
10 gallons was exhausted by his con-
slant battle with near gale which
impeded his progress and caused him
to fly $50 air miles to cover course
of about 100 miles on land. So ia
tlguing was the trip, Atwood decided
to change his plans and rest.
The young aviator created frenzied
enthusiasm as he swung over the tops
of the tall hotels fronting on the
board walk at Ohio avenue and shot
high in the air over the ocean.
He circled up the beach, dipping and
cutting figure Fights in sight Of the
thousands that had waited patiently
for hours to witness his daring.
He landed in small space roped
off from the crowd. Police reserves
were necessary to keep back the
cheering thousands who gathered from
every section of the city with the
news of his arrival.
Il was blown all over the lots, +"
were his first words, in describing his
trip and its sensations. 81 aimed to
follow the coast line as much as pos
