LIEUT.. CRUMRINE USES
ARMY PLANE FOR
LONG JOURNEY
VISITS PARENT S
COVERS DISTANCE BETWEEN
GRAND RIDGE AND EASTERN
METROPOLIS IN EIGHT, HOURS
AND FiFTY.FlVE MINUTES.

Completing the first flight on rec
ord from New York City to Ottawa
and Grand Ridge in eight hours anC
ffty.fve minutes actual flying time
Lieut.. Clarence Crumrine, one Of the
army's most famous birdmen, yester
day morning landed in a pasture near
his home in the Ridge and spent the
greater portion of the day with his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs George Crum
rine.
Lieutenant Crumrine, who gained
world renown for his flight from New
York to Nome, Alaska, had a comrade
and Nordic as his companions on the
flight from New York to his home
Nordic is a dog, but not an ordinary
dog. A gift from the citizenry of
Nome, after reaching that northern
city at the conclusion of a scouting
trip clear across the American contin-
ent. Nordic in his day trecked the
sled. He is typical of the Alaskan
canine breed with but one popularity.
He has bright blue eyes. Nordic,
like his master, enjoys flying and new
er misses chance to get into the ship
and take off for a long iaunt thru the
azure.
Having crossed half the United
States and then over Canadian forest
and mountains to mark an uncharter-
ed trail into Alaska, Lieut.. Crumrine
found flying from ~ Y. to Chicago an
ordinary sort of trip. He completed
the hop off and landing in eight hours
fiat. After visiting his sister, Mrs.
CARBON Gulbranson. Mrs Anna Wads-
worth and Miss Georgia Crumrine, in
Chicago, Lieut.. Crumrine again took
to the air and headed for Ottawa. Fif.
ty.five minutes later he was among
the home folks, giving the locality its
first mark for covering the air route
between it and the eastern metropolis.
With Nordic. the esquimaux dog and
his fellow lieutenant as his pals on
the long jaunt from New York, the
plane arrived over Ottawa at about .
o'clock. It circled low for several min
utes. The machine headed southwark
howard Grand Ridge In the afternoon
about o'clock the daring birdmen
again flying hove into view from the
south, cIrcled over Ottawa, still fly
ing low, the roar Of his engine aud
ible in all parts OF the city and then
pointed its nose eastward for the re-
turn "jaunt" to New York
Hundreds watched the plane cavOrt-
ing about overhead and speculated on
the identity of the driver. Not until
late in the afternoon did it become
known that the purring machine
which just skirted the treetops over
head was just completing a flight
which made history for aeronautics in
Ottawa and the rest of La Sale coun-
ty.

rine was a regular army two scatter

SPARE THE RINSING
ISL AND SPOIL THE
CLOTHES

No matter how carefully you
have washed your clothes, if you
have not rinsed every bit of soap
out, they will still be yellow. Use
a soap that dissolves completely
and there is less danger of par
ticIes sticking to the clothes to
yellow them.
Rinse is an entirely new kind of
soap that dissolves instantly,
making both water and clothes
slippery with its pure, rich suds.
1t soaks all the dirt out of the
clothes so that no hard rubbing
is needed to get them spotlessly
clean.
Rinse is easier to rinse out than
a soap with solid particles to stick
to the fabric. But because the
rich Rinse suds loosen every bit
of dirt, very thorough rinsing is
necessary to carry off the dirt.
Rinse is rapidly replacing bar
soap for the family wash.
