London, June 16.-Capt. John Al
cock and Lieut.. Arthur w. Brown, in
their Vickers-Vimy bipiane, landed at
Clifden, Ireland, completing the first
nonstop airplane flight across the At
lantic. Their trip from st. Johns, n.
b., was made in sixteen hours and
twelve minutes. The landing was
made at 0 40 o'clock, British summer
time. Sunday. In taking the ground
the machine struck heavily and tile
fuselage ploughed into the sand.
Neither of the occupants was injured.
Much of the flight was made through
fog, with an occasional drizzle. This
hampered the airmen considerably.
Captain Alcock explained the 81
lence Of his radio instrument during
the trip by saying that the wireless
propeller blew off soon after the air
plane left Newfoundland.
I'VE were much jammed by strong
wireless signals not intended for us"
he added.
When word was received here of
the accident to the machine in land
ing, arrangements We're made for me-
chanics to leave London Immediately
to make repairs.
Word came from Clifden that the
pilot and navigator of the biplane We're
leaving for Galway, whence Lieuten-
ant Brown planned to travel by train
to London.
Captain Alcock, however, hoped to
be able to fly TO London in the ma
chine which made the record flight
as soon as 1t could be repaired. 1t
was planned to have him give an ex-
hibitiOn over London in the machine,
if possible.
The Aero Club received u message
from Clifden not long after the trans
atlantic filters landed, signed by them,
which merely stated that they had
completed the flight in sixteen hours
and twelve minutes. They requested
instructions from the club.
In reply the club telegraphed Cap
tain Alcock: Keep machine intact
until observer arrives"
The air ministry stated that certain
marks were put on the airplane at
Newfoundland which must be Off
cially identified by member of the
royal air force before the flight is
declared to have been officially COM
pleted. 1t was said ut the ministry
that 1t was probable one of its Of

1t was hardly believed there that

Mr.. Mann emphasized the impor-

newspapers. in selling merchandise.
Newspaper advertising, he declared, is
the greatest. asset a merchant has, and
he advised the travelling men present
to help make the merchant realize
this fact. In speaking to the travelling
men, he declared that 1t was not their
duty to sell to a customer. but to sell
for them. BY teaching them the best
methods of advertising, they help the
merchant turn over his goods, and,
therefore, help themselves by selling
more goods to the merchants.
Paper Great Asset. -
The travelling men should teach the
merchant, he said, that first of all
newspaper advertising is his greatest

tive newspaper advertising. He dis
played copies of several North Dakota
weekly papers which contained but
one or two ads from their respective
