BIG RECEPTION
FOR u. S. FLYERS
Army Aviators Who Flew to
Alaska Are Welcomed
Home.
REMARKABLE AIR SPECTACLE
Escorted by Americas Biggest Dirigi.
bic and SIS AirpIanes, They Arrive
at Washington and Fly
Over the Capitol.

Washington, Oct 23-EScOrted by
the I'D l, four squadrons aggregating
90 airplanes and Americas biggest
dirigible, the eight army aviators who
in four planes flew to Alaska and
back, were welcomed home with the
most remarkable air spectacle ever
witnessed at the capital. Their re-
markable accomplishment is the out
standing air event of the year.
One squadron of IS planes accom-
panied the flyers from Mineola. Two
other squadrons from Langley field
met the returning heroes a short dis
lance from Washington. In squadron
formation with the returned aviatOrs
in the center all flew over the CAPT
tol.
Thousands of spectators saw the pi-
Oneers of the air land at Boiling field,
where they were greeted by Secretary
Baker, Secretary Daniels. General Per-
shing, Maj. Gen. Charles T. MenOher,
director Of air service; Brig. Gen. Will
liam Mitchell, director of military aer-
Onautics, and other high War depart
ment officials. And standing beside
them was a silver-haired, bright-eyed
little lady, who made no effort to con-
ceal her elatiOn. She was the mother
of Capt. ST. Clair Street, commanding
officer Of the expedition.
Mrs. Street pushed through the
crowd that surrounded her, and threw
her arms about his neck and gave vent
to her enthusiasm with a kiss.
Secretary Baker then presented GER
tificates to the men, whom he lauded
for having accomplished what not
long ago would have been held imp0s-
sible. In addition to Captain Street,
those who received certificates were
Capt. Howard Douglas, advance Off
Ger; First Lieuts Clifford G. Mutt
Eric II. Nelson, c. FL. Crunine and
Ross Fitzpatrick, ahd Sergts. James
Long and Joseph E. English.
A dinner given by General Menoher
and General Mitchell in honor of the
Alaska air expedition was attended by
many notable officials.
Altogether the expedition covered
5000 miles. The flight to Alaska re-
Quired 16 days, although the actual
flying time was 1856 hours. The re-
turn occupied 10 days. The route the
daring aviators took was over 300
miles of glaciers, where forced land
ing meant death, and over 1000 miles
of territory so sparsely settled that
no human habitation was seen for
hours at a stretch. The average flying
height was 5000 feet, although at
times the planes flew as low as 200
feet and at others were compelled to
ascend 10000 feet.
The flyers brought home data Of
great value to the government geodet-
ic survey. The maps by which they
flew proved inaccurate In designat-
ing the height of certain mountain
peaks. In one instance the planes
were compelled to ascend 10000 feet
to get over a mountain listed as being
only 500 feet high.

BIG LOSS TO FARMERS
Secretary Meredith Tells Bank
ers of Conditions.
Says Shrinkage in Value of Farm
Products Will Result in Loss of
S2,5oo,o0O, 900.

Washington. Oct. 21.-Shrinkage in
the value of farm products so far this
season will result in American farm
ers receiving $2.500,000,000 less than
they would have received on the 1919
price basis, Secretary of Agriculture
Meredith said, addressing the Ameri-
can Bankers association annual con-
ventiOn.
He classed the resulting situation
as one (which demands the best
thought and sympathetic consideration
of the bankers of America, and, in fact,
of all the people of the country"
Mr.. Meredith estimated that the fall
in corn prices had involved a billion
dollar loss to producers, while the de-
crease in cotton prices amounted to
third of & billion dollars. The sit
uatiOn was further much harder for
farmers, he said, because the labor and
materials necessary to crop production
had been supplied during the high
price period.
1.-The American people must see to it
tildI IdIlIlNES SeCuIC CIGuIl SulllNIcIlI
for their needs" Mr.. Meredith contin-
ued, only thus can they continue to
supply The nations need for food. I
think you gentlemen fully realize that
if the farmer is to continue to pro-
duce and to meet the food require
ments of the nation he must have adj
cquate prices for his products.
1.-THE farmer is not the only one
who would be adversely affected if he
fails to secure a reasonable return for
his efforts 1 do not think you can
fail to see that the farmers problems
are your problems, and that your uti}-
