Shreveport Wins Fight.

Shreveport today won her fight for better train service between Ruston and Fl Dorado. and the Rock Island has been ordered to arrange the schedule according to Shreveport newspapers to- day. The ShrevepOrters have diseov- cred that Fl Dorado is long-lost cousin, and they are planning joyous family reunion wherein Shreveport will not be made to suffer sympa tehtically or financially. Furthermore a kindly sympathy is extended Arkansas peo- pie because of their ignorance about oil. Shreveport volunteers to be a big brother and to lead the Arkansans to better and brighter things. as repre- sented by Shreveport's markets.
 The influence of great wealth is dazzling to local business men, who are accustomed to big figures, but not to oil boom prices, and most of them can't turn down the terms that are of. fered. As one of NJ. W. Hardy's friends expressed it, "A bird in the hand is the noblest work of God"

Being lost To the world was not a new

pilOted the Asses from Rockaway Air

the NC-4, the famous naval seaplane
which made the first transatlantic air
voyage, and was in the cockpit of that
plane when it was lost out in the Gulf OF
Mexico in December. 1919.
On that occasion the NC4 left Calves
ton, Tex, early in the morning on an in
tended nonstop flight to Mobile, Ala.
Throughout the day and the night and
part of the following day the famous sea
plane was unheard from. The government
was making arrangements to send an ar
mazda of seaplanes and boats into the gulf
to lock for the missing craft, when a ra-
dio message from it was picked up in
New Orleans.

Latest Balloon Adventure
Recalls Other Air Trips

NEW YORK, JAN ll.-Aviation'
thrilling history, filled with adventurous
journeys in balloon and airplane, already
contains a story paralleling the one ere
ated by the flight into the frozen fast
nesscs OF northern Canada which has TO-
cused the news-hungry readers of the
world on the three American lieutenants
who recently completed it.
In 1910 two New York airmen, Alan r.
Hawley and Augustus Post, were lost
among the untrodden wilderness of Cana
da for seven days after travelling nearly
100 miles through the air from ST. Louis
in the balloon America IL.
They foated northeastward for two
days and two nights, crossing over the
Great Lakes and beyond the outposts OF
which are few and far between III the
northland. Despairing of finding a suita-
bic landing place, they brought their gas
bag down into dense trees, ending a trip
that won the Gordon Bennett trophy and
set a new record for distance, and be-
ginning a tramp over unknown land that
dwarfed in public interest their thrilling
experiences III the air.
Extricatng themselves from the limbs
of trees entangled i'll their basket, Post
and Hawley tramped along a stream and
woods were inpenetrable and trackless
For four days and four nights they pushed
southwark, through snowstorms, rain and
stabbing cold winds. and with little to
eat. Hawley wrenched his knee and the
pair stopped to rest at the first restful
place they found-an old cave.
There they prayed. exchanged conf
dences to be carried back by whichever
one lived if either failed to get back
home. and then took fresh start. The
next day they came upon a shovel-tbe
first sign of civilization they had encoun-
tered-and a few yards further tent.
They spent the night in this tent and
the next morning, going down to the side
of a lake they pierced the air with yells
Of greeting. From across the water came
a reply, and then two trappers in a canoe.
The trappers took the airmen down riv-
er in canoes for two days until they
reached Chioutime, a settlement, from
where they communicated with the world
they had left, and began their trip back
to New York They had lett st. Louis
