Mr. Mcintyre returned to Tulsa
last week and IL is from him that
the story of the long journey via air
plane is obtained. First, however,
1t should be said that Mr.. Mcintyre
brought with him from Portland
Mrs Mcintyre. formerly Miss Jeanne
Sanderson OF sydney. Mont, Mr.. Nc
Intyre's former home. Mr.. and Mrs.
Mcintyre were united in marriage by
the Reverend Crawford soon after
their airplane landed at Portland.
The story Of the trip made by Nc
lntyre and Crawford reads like one
of Jules Nerne's novels. on account
OF the winter season they were
forced to take the southern route,
that Is to follow the Mexican bor-
der to the Pacific coast and then
along the Pacific ocean to the Ore
gon metropolis.
The aviators were forced to land
three times on account OF snow
storms. almost trapped to their death
in an air pocket while attempting
to fly over Mount Shasta, and were
once forced TO guide a large part of
their Journey before they reached
the California border only by COM
pass because of the continual fogs
and rain. Nearly all of their meals
We're eaten in the air.
Mr.. Mcintyre was rarely able to
obtain high test gasoline, and when
he landed at Tatum, n. NJ, he was
only able to replenlsh his fuel tank
by coaxing the good housewives of
the little village to drain their kero-
sene lamps and stoves. In spite OF
such difficulties the engine OF the
airplane never once faltered.
Leaving Tulsa the aviators first
stopped at Fort Sill. and then dl-
rected their course for the Mexican
border. After flying through a
heavy fog bank, with less than 1000
feet altitude, they descended at
Roaring Springs. Texas, Their trip
across the barren stretches of west
ern Texas was marked by rainy
weather and low-hanglng clouds,
forcing them to depend entirely upon
their compass for directions.
The first government landing field
that they reached along the border
was at Carlsbad and here they had
to make their landing on top OF a
high hill. From Carlsbad TO Cochise,
n. NJ, the clouds were so low that
they were forced to fly through river

canons and mountain passes. Twice
they met heavy storms in the passes
and had 10 turn around and fly In
by pass until the storms passed, and
then come back TO the river canon
route again.
The best landing field that they
found on their trip was at Tucson.
Flying at an altitude of 5000 feet
they crossed the desert wastes of
Arizona and made their first land
ing on California soil at Beaumont.
From here 1t was only a short hop
to Los Angeles, where the landing
was made on the Sydney Chaplin
aviation field. This field Is owned
and operated by Charles Chaplin.
the famous movie" comedian, and
his brother Sydney.
In an attempt TO reach Bakers
field by direct air line they ascend
ed to $4,000 feet but were forced by
severe snowstorm to turn around
and glide $50 miles at half-throttle
to Los Angeles.
The next day they made the trip
to Bakersfield by more circuitous
route and reached Fresno. From
here they made their way TO the
government landing field at Sacra-
mento. although they had to dodge
high tension wires in making their
landing. The next landing was made
at Redding.
In flying from Redding over
Mount Shasta. the aviators received
the greatest thrill of their journey.
At an altitude OF l2 900 feet they
encountered a severe snowstorm,
and then struck an air pocket often
found in the mountains The plane
continued to settle. but they were
able to make safe landing at
Slsson on a seven-acre tract that
was probably the only landing place
within "a radius of so miles 1t was
impossible to take off" into the
air from this place, so the plane was
taken apart and shipped 100 miles
across the mountains From this
place the trip was made without
mishap to Portland, although in
making a landing the plane rolled
within two feet of the Columbia
river.
When the landing was made In
Portland Mr.. Mcintyre handed to
Reverend Crawford an official pi-

Nuch valuable data concerning tex

effects on them Of washing The
discovery that holes and tears In
limo, after Il f. returned from the
laundry arc more often the fault of
weak or defective textiles than care
less wcrl, In washing prompted the
iJcq that manufacturers should
label their goods.
The Inundrles Of pittsburgh now
do much Of their work as suggested
by charts drawn up by the institute.
Many interesting things were found
by Tho chemists.
You may send a shirt to the laun-
dry and It comes back torn. one
reason is that one OF the colored
stripes may have been given n sui
phur dye before It was woven into
the material. This sort OF dye on a
material Will weaken the goods upon
us contact with moisture. The shirt
will be torn easily along the weak
ened stripe.
Many shirts which TO the unalded
eve pass for silk are composed of
cotton filling threads and n few
bushed out unspun silk fibers. A
intimate contact with soap and
water even when carefully laun-
dered by hand.
Again n shirt may come back with
holes under the armpits which were
not there when II was sent. The
chemists have discovered that the
garment at these places were weak
ened from hydrochloric acid formed
by deodorants used.
Another thing. The dirtier a gar
ment or piece OF linen Is the harder
the laundrles must wash II to get II
clean. So tho moral here IS the
cleaner the stuff is when you send II
the longer II will last.
Then there is the question of
aged garments. Clothes are like a
horse. There is no way to tell the
age OF shirt or pair of socks or
such things. When laundered in the
regular way with the other dirty
work the ancient stuff often can't
stand 1t and so is bound to come
back rather the worse for the ex-
perience. This state OF affairs can't
be helped II there Is no discretion
used in the laundry bag.
Special care chemists say, Is taken
ny the laundries to remove every
stain. II II is new one that the
laundry people never met before the

tory, where II is given particular

WOMEN AND
PACIFISTS SCARED
Write Congressman Urging Them to
Vote Against Bill - New England
Delegation Is In Favor of Universal
Training-south Against.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 31.-Congress
is in tight place over universal mil
itary training as part of the army
appropriation bill, Every officer of
high rank who testified before the com
mittees strongly advocated such a law.
Gen. Pershing and Gen Wood stated
with great fervor that, had this eoun-
try previously adopted such training for
men of military age, thousands of
American lives would have been saved
in the recent war, much suffering would
have been averted and the war brought
to close many months earlier 1t
was grim lesson of the need of pre-
paredness, they both said, vet in spite
of all that, it is recognized here that
the country is doubtful regarding the
wisdom Of the adoption of such an in
ovation. There must be either a LARGE
standing army or compulsory military
training for q short period and of an
intensive nature. That is the verdict
Of all military men. But letters come
pouring into congress from thousands
OF women, pacifcists and others not
Verscd in military needs, urging men to
work and vote against such a measure.
Any number Of those people object to
| training on the ground that it will
breed a disease for war Somehow a
great mass of people, judging from the
correspondence, feel that to even men
ton military training will give i'm
petus to the thought of another war.
That is the only thing preparedness
! spells to them. Some time ago, 4 poll
Iof the New England delegation was

Morrisville is somewhat anxious over
the low water situation. Springs there
are drying or freezing up that were never
known to be dry before and all industries
using waterpower are handicapped. The
Sheldon Paper company had to shut
down its pulp mills last week to let the
mill pond fill up, which caused the Swan
ton electric power plant TO Highgate to
freeze up, so that no power has been OBJ
tainable from that source since. Ice cut
tiers in Morrisville say that ice cut last
week was from 70 to 80 inches thick and
lay on the bottom of the lake, where
there should have been several feet of
water. In Stowe the low water in the
