FIy Across Atlantic Ocean
First Journey Made Without
Stop Or Accident.

London, June 15.-The final goal
of all the ambitions which flying men
have ventured to dream since the
Wright brothers first rose from the
earth in heavier -than-air machine
was realized this morning, when two
young British officers, Capt. John
Alcock and Lieut.. Arthur w. Brown
landed at $40 O'Clock, British sum-
mer time, on the Irish coast after the
first nonstop flight across the Allan
tic Ocean.
Their voyage was without accident
and without unforeseen incident. so
far as can be learned. 1t was a
straight-away, clean-cut flight ac-
heived in 16 hours and II minutes
from Newfoundland to Clifden, Ire
land, a distance of more than 1900
miles.
But the brief and modest descrip-
ton which comes from the airmen
at Clifden tells of an adventurous and
amazingly hazardous enterprise. Fog
and mists hung over the North At
lantic and the Vickers- Vimy biplane
climbed and dove, struggling to ex-
tricate herself from the folds of the
airplane's worst enemy.
She rose to II 900 feet, swooped
down almost to the surface OF the
sea, and at times the two navigators
found themselves flying upside down
only 10 feet above the water.
Describing the experience OF HIM
self and Lieut.. Brown, Captain AL
cock, in a message from Galway to
the Daily Mail. says:
"We had terrible journey. The
wonder is we are here at all. We
scarcely saw the sun, moon or stars.
The fog was very dense and at times
we had to descend within 800 feet OF
the sea.
"For four hours Our machine was
covered with a sheet of ice, caused
by frozen sleet. At another time the
fog was so dense that my speed indl-
Gator did not work and for few
minutes it was very alarming.

Brief addresses along the same lines
were made by Department Command

ment.
DR.. Clark told the veterans of the
relation between materialism and
patriotism, declaring that one OF the
noticeable benefits of the war is de-
crease in the pursuit of selfish aims
and a corresponding increase in
thought and action along public
spirited lines. The time is coming,
he said, when men will think more
in terms of national and international
welfare and less about the personal
pursuit of wealth. He intimated
that the League of Nations will be-
come effective and prove step to-
ward world patriotism.

HOW SAVINGS HABIT

These great dividend days bring
American bankers new opportunities
and also responsibilities How can
new thrift habits be linked to thrift
institutions? How can this money,
The product of thrift, be mobilized for
further work?
Already the bankers are working
with the Treasury Department to
continue thrift habits. For people who
save money there is wide range OF
thrift institutions that will take
charge Of funds, put them to work
safely, and return good earnings. AS
the government plans to borrow by
general education of thrift in every
kind, so the banks and thrift institu-
tions can aid the government by en-.
couraging general thrift and building
bigger business themselves.
One OF the first steps to be taken by
bankers is that of spreading informa.
ton about banks, life insurance, build
ing and loan associations, federal farm
loans, and all other thrift institutions.
The best way to meet Uncle Sans
borrowing needs is to promote thrift
on the broadcast possible lines.
Every dollar deposited in savings
bank becomes available for national
finance Every life insurance policy
sold is equivalent to an indirect loan
to the government. Every obligation
assumed by thrifty people such as
building mortgage is stimulus to
production and saving, and therefore,
as much a national service as the dl.
rect purchase of government securi'
ties. In placing these matters clearly
before everybody in his community
the banker will live up to his opportu-
mites and his responsibilities in the
new thrift movement When the bill
