MAJOR Smith.
WITH 4PLANES
ON WAY FROM
;. San DIEGO,

squad of four airplanes, which are
on the first trans continental trip
ever started by the s. Army, arrived
at Souther field at 10:45 o'clock this
morning for stay of day. They are
on their way from San Diego, Calf,
which city they left Dec. 5. and are en-
route to Washington by way of
Dorr Field, Arcadia, Fla.
The squadron is under command OF
Major Albert D. Smith, Of San Diego
The trip this far has been made by
way of Ell Paso, Kelly Field at San
Antonio, Tex; Ellington Field, Hous-
ton, Tex; and Montgomery, Ala.
from which place the machines few
this morning. Major Smith is today
the guest of Major Wash command
ant at Souther Field.
The fight thus far has been a fair
ly strenuous one, and the four ma
chimes are undergoing an overhauling
at Souther Field today, one of them
having its engine replaced. The trip
will be resumed Thursday morning.
The rans-continental trip was un-
dertaken as an experiment for the pur-
pose of determining whether such long
fights were practicable. It is one of
the plans of the government to inaug-
urate at an early date transcontinen-
tai air mail service, and this initial
trip is for the purpose of gathering
preliminary data.

COTTON SCORES
GOOD GAIN; SPOT
HERE 28 CENTS;
CLOSEHSTRONC

The best cotton market in more
than a week" was the verdict at the
close of today's session of the ex-
changes. The closing quotations were
the highest of the day, showing good
advances, and the strength displayed
resulted in a quotation locally for
spots of % cents.
The rise was attributed to a flood OF
late buying, and was not taken as evil
dence that the expected rise in the
market had sent in, although there
was no concealing the fact that it was
a most hopeful sign.
News of the morning that four ad-
ditiOnal ships had been assigned to
carry cotton from Southern ports to
Europe is looked upon by cotton men
as substantial news of the right sort.
1t is contended by men who belle,
cotton should be bringing more money
than it now commands, that the rise
is bound to come as soon as the
movement for Europe is fairly start
ed, and all that is holding back cot
ton from Europe is the scarcity of
ships, An early free movement
abroad is predicted
