HAwKER MAY TRY AGAIN
By Associated Press

London, May 27.-Harry G. Hawker and Lieut. Commander Mackenzie Grieye i were given a remarkable reception on their arrival in London tonight from Northern Scotland, where they were land ed Monday morning after their unsuc- cessful attempt to fly across the Atlantic ocean from New Foundland to Ireland in an airplane
 Such enthusiasm as was shown in the greeting of the two intrepid airmen prob ably never has been exceeded except in the times of coronations. The crowds began gathering early in the afternoon along the route from the railway station to the Aero club. where Hawker and Grieve were formally well ccmed on behalf of London. When the train pulled into the station the entire line over which the procession was to pass was damned with cheering peo- pie.
 A foretaste of the great welcome that the aviators were to receive came during the afternoon when Mrs. Hawker went to the railway station to proceed to Granthan to meet her husband. The throng about the station loudly cheered the plucky little woman who never gave up confidence that her husband ulti- mately would be rescued even though the hours he was overdue grew into days
 
 Arriving in London, headed by an Aus tralian band and a body of Australian roops and a large number of automo- piles, Hawker and Grieve passed through the densely packed streets on the way to the Aero club In the procession were the mayor and the councillors of St. Pan cras and a deputation of the Royal Aero club, including General Brancker, the Duke of Atho1 and other famous airmen. Another delegation in the parade, which was accompanied by a band, was com posed of workers from the Sopwith works where the machine in which Hawker and Grieve attempted to span the ocean was constructed.
 The first official welcome was accorded the airmen on the station at St. Pancras by the mayor of that borough but still another was given them inside the Aero club building After the ceremony at the Aero club the aviators were entertained by the Sopwth workers.
 Like Mrs Hawker, Mir and Mrs Grieve proceeded up the line and met their son ard bade him welcome and congratulated him on his rescue before he reached Lon- don.
 In every town through which the train ca irving the airmen passed today cfoWds oe neople gathered to cheer them. When ever the train stopped official receptions were extended the heroes by the mayors and corpora tions.
 Asked whether he would make another attennt to fly across the Atlantic, Hawk CT said tonight:
 'I don't know. It depends upon the Sopwith firm
 A series of entertainments, including many luncheons and dinners, have been arranged for Hawker and Grieve

of the flight of the American navy sea- plane NC-i from Ponta Del Gada to Lis bon was received with the greatest in terest in Plymouth. which is to be the final destination of the big aircraft in it's trip from New Foundland to Eng land. Wireless reports of today's flight, gwen out by the admiralty, showing that the seaplane was making excellent prog ress across the sea evoked considerable enthusiasm.
 All the plans for patrolling the course ot the intended flight from Lisbon to Plymouth have been arranged. There are to be Il American torpedo boat de- stroyers between Lisbon and Plymouth, five off the Portugese coast from Lisbon to Cape Finisterre and five between Cape Finisterre and Brest. The other boat, the Y. s. s. Stockton, will lie half way between Plymouth and Brest. The Stock ton, which is in port here, will not leave to take up her position until her com mander receives word that the NC-4 has departed from Lisbon.

PORTUGUESE ENTHUSIASTIC
By Associated Press


 Lisbon May 27.-The achievement or the first transa tlantic air flight, with Lisbon as the first European stopping point has aroused the enthusiasm of the 1 Portuguese as no event has stirred them | for many years. When the American 1 seaplane NC-4 came over the Tague river | this evening, the populace. crowding all 1 places of vantage. gave full expression | to this enthusiasm by cheers of welcome, the booming of guns and the ringing or bells.
 For days the people of Lisbon had been awaiting the completion of this mo- mentous voyage over the Atlantic, and. though disappointed from day to day be- cause of the inability of Commander Reads craft to continue it's flight from the Azores because of unfavorable weather conditions, yet each day they looked hopefully towards the west for
 the coming of the Americans. Now they are able to say they never doubted that the NC-4 would wing it's way safely
 across the intervening 800 miles of water. Early in the day word was flashed that the NC-4 had started and at inter- ,a1s there were bulletins of the progress
 made. The whole city was enfete and during the latter hours of the day vir- tually all business was abandoned by
 those who crowded everywhere to witness the arrival.
 1 Guided by skillful hands. the American plane, which had covered the distance between the protecting destroyers along the route with clock-like regularity.
 swept in over Lisbon and settled down gracefully.
 It was not forgotten by most of those who witnessed the triumph of the Amer ican commander that another man, equally stout-hearted, the Australian. Hawker was being welcomed in England OF his return from d wonderful trans atlantic flight more spectacular. but not so successful in it's ending, and there was praise for both,

HALsTEAD FLASHES NEWS

Official word of the arrival of the plane at Lisbon reached the Navy De- partment first through a dispatch from Brest France, sent by Rear Admiral Halstead, commander of the American naval forces in French waters. The mes- sage was received at the Otter Cliffs, Maine, station and rehyed to Washing ton.
 Immediately Secretary Daniels cabled the congratulations of the department to Commander Read The Secretary also sent a cable to President Wilson at Paris. telling him that American naval aviators had been the first to cross the Atlantic
 The message to Commander Read fol- lows:
 "Leutenant Commander Albert c, Read,
 Commanding NC4 Seaplane.
 Care Rear Admiral Plunkett,
 U S. S. Rochester, Lisbon, Portugal
 "The entire navy congratulates you and your fellow aviatorS on your epochal flight The ocean has been spanned through the air and to the American navy goes the honor of making the first transatlantic flight. It has been accom- plished without mishap to any one or the daring aviators who left our shores on the first air journey to Europe. To all of them and to you all honor is due.
 (Signed) "JOSEPHUS DANIELS.
 The telegram from the secretary 10 President Wilson says:

 Secretary Dnniels said today no definite plas for further transoceanic flights had been made. He explained that the first trip was the beginning of series of ex- periments in long-dstance flying ana that very probably after defects in naval aircraft, brought to light during this flight had been corrected another squad ron of seaplanes would be headed across the Atlantic. MT. Daniels said he had not decided whether the NC-4 should at tempt to fly back to the United States or be knocked down at Plymouth and shipped back to America.

Use Nomination Blank Found in This Issue--Good for 2,OOO Free Votes
Fair Method of Distribution of Prizes Makes Wonderful Offer Especially Attractive to Country Contestants Entrants Have Same Chance to Win Autos, No Mat
 ter Where They Reside.

With enthusiasm in The Age-Her- aids great s1S,000 automobile and prize campaign, in which 10 big, brand new motor cars will be given away free, increasing by leaps and bounds interest is now centering upon the ap- pearance of the first list of names of 2 young men and women who have all ready sent in their nominations. Thou sands of interested persons are won- dering who will wage the battle Tor the beautiful prizes. They will not have long to wait. The first list will be pub lished within few days, and then the 5 race will be on in earnest Tnere IS stlll , ample time for anyone to send in his. sor her nomination in time for the first < publication.
 The way nominations rolled into the campaign office yesterday made 1t cer- tain that the list is going to be an sextended one. From every section Of 7 the wide territory in which The Age N Herald circulates, they are coming in large numbers. The campaign manager predicted yesterday that there would be scarcely a town or hamlet within a radius of many miles of Birmingham that would not be represented by some energetic determined contestant But while many have already sent in their E names to be published, there still re-
 
 have thus far hesitated. To those who have held off let it be said that the larger number of candidates, the less number of votes anyone will have to poll to win a prize. The voting will be more evenly distributed. Every can didate who enters will have an equal chance to win the big $2750 Roamer touring car.
 QUALITY CAUSES RUSH
 The large number of nominations re- reived thus far is, no doubt, due to the exceptional quality and class or the machines which are to be given as prizes Who wouldn't gather votes if he had an opportunity to acquire through his effort a dandy touring car? Who wouldn't be pleased and tickled to death to make the attempt? The Age-Herald is presenting to the people of Alabama an opportunity of the caliber that doesn't come every day, and the lavish distribution of the gorgeous awards is going to make many hearts beat with happinesss.
 The object of the campaign is, pri- marily, to introduce The Age-Herald into homes and establishments where it is not circulating. And for this measurable task, undertaken by ambi- tious young persons The Age Herald will play well. Few, indeed, are the newspapers in the United States which VIII give motor cars III eAcHdHSe lor d little effort. The campaign extends only over a short period of time-just time enough for a short, quick spurt, en- hanced by pluck and energy-and then a big handsome touring car. The Age Herald is well known in every part of the state that obtaining subscrip tions will be- as one candidate put it yesterday, Hike going to a picnic" People of this section know that they are getting their moneys worth when they take out a subscription to The
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-05-28

Age-Hera1d, and when they are assured they are helping YOU to win one of the splendid prizes they will be glad to subscribe, or extend their present sub- scription.
 VARY WITH SUBSCRIPTIONS
 With each subscription certain num- Ter of votes are issued. The number of votes varies, according to the length of subscription. Also. new subscriptions have a greater voting power than old ones. Votes are also given in free vote coupons, which are printed in The Age Herald each day. These coupons are good for their face value, if sent to the campaign office neatly trimmed, be- fore their expiration date, These cou- pons will be placed in flat packages with the number of votes therein marked plainly on the top.
 Any candidate can easily make start in the race with the surprising total of 2 900 votes. Here is the way to do it.: First, send in your nominations that is good for 2000 free votes. Then go to one of your friends who you know is not a subscriber to The Age-Herald ex- plain to him that you are out to win one of the motor cars, and ask him for F months subscription The chances are 100 to 1 that he will help you-especially when you show him the magnificent list of prizes. His subscrip- ton is worth 15,000 votes. When you send it in, send along with it the First Subscription Coupon" good for an additional 10000 votes. That makes q, ,O00.
 The First Subscription Coupon, as it's name indicates, is valid only with the first subscription a candidate turns in And after the start is once made go- ing will be easy-so easy in fact, that YOU can place your name right among the leaders in very few hours. A clip of the scissors, a stroke of the pen, and it's done. The nomination blank will be found on another page of this issue. It is the wise candidate who starts early, as the advantage of head" start is too well known in any line of competition to require dis cussion. A little effort between now and August is going to win motor cars for some people. Somebody has just GOT to win them-and you might as well be one of them. The campaign department will, of course, loan, it's complete cooperation in helping any candidate to get started, and any as- sistance necessary will be rendered.
 CONTEST OPEN TO EVERYBODY The campaign is open to every body mot just to girls and young women, as most campaigns have been. The Age-Herald has exerted every effort to make this campaign one to be long re- membered, and accordingly has been ex- tremely liberal. The prizes will appeal not alone because of their value, but because of their quality and choice se- lection. lineup such as the SIS, 900 list includes has never before been given as prizes in any campaign ever con- ducted in the state of Alabama Look for that nomination blank in this issue. If you are over 16 years of age, man or woman, clip it, and send it to the campaign manager, Age-Herald, TO- DAY.

Ex-Gov. Noel is getting consid-

Gates a reduction in the number of
State officials. Some of these Of
fees mught possibly be cut out, but
the ones against which the shafts
of criticism have been principally
aimed are the tax commission and
the pardoning board. But as Gov
elect Russell defended both of these
boards during the recent campaign,
1t is reasonable to suppose that he
would veto any measure for their re-
peal that might possibly pass the
Legislature. We were present at
many political picnics when the Leg
islative candidates presented their
claims. In one county especially
where the tax commission had rails
ed the land assessment from $13 to
$19 an acre, we were amused at .the
earnestness with which, all the Leg.
islative candidates declared them
selves in favor of repeating the law
creating the tax commission. We
asked one of the candidates in that
county, who owned fine farm. how
much it was worth, and he said il
was easily worth $3.50 an acre. And
yet he raised mighty howl because
his land was raised from $13 to SIS
an acre. We believe that the ta1
commission has done a good work
and that the law ought to bs
amended, and not repealed.

Thousands of Bales Brought in And
Going out at Brookhaven
Compress.

There's a world of cotton" out
at the Compress lying on the ground
for lack of shelter. 1t does not stay
there however.
The Regional Director is stating
that a 492-pound bale when stored
fiat on the ground for six months
loses 232 pounds. This means that
if the price was 80 cents per pound
the loss would be $69.60 on the bale
in six months. Another bale stored
in the warehouse it is stated, lost
only two pounds.
Manager Estus Smith, of the
Brookhaven Compress states that the
overflow" cotton out there is turn
ed over once week for protection
and is never kept more than thirty
days. He states that from 75 to 80
per cent of the cotton at the Com
press is sold and 1t is shipped as
rapidly as facilities will permit
from 1900 to 1000 bales each week
and about that amount is brought
in in the same length of time. Cot
ton moves so rapidly out there, there
is no time for loss. Manager Smith
may lose weight, but the fleecy sta.
pie is impervious under his direc.
tion.
Cotton was $3.50 yesterday and ii
soaring today-at least that is the
prospect.
