leave it in such shape that there will
be no set back to what has been done
The secretary praised most highly
the Rotary Club, which has cO-operated
with him in the Boy Scout work of the
year. The club has given it substantial
financial as well as moral support. The
members are deeply interested in the
boy life of the city, and expect to keep
right behin dit, Mr.. Stevenson said.
Without exception the Rotary Club
members have given their sympathy
and advice whenever sought. They are
fine bunch of men and | appreciate
all they have done to the uttcrmost. .
OF his successor, Mr.. Stevenson speaks
in the highest terms. "Mr. Melvin is
young man. full of enthusiasm; has
boundless energy, and has had six
years of Y. NJ. c. \. work, specializing
in boys work, and he will be Il fine
Scout he said.
The Stevensons have been identified
with the valley for many years, and
their departure will be regretted by

DOORN, Holland, Nov. An pre-
paration for his wedding to the Prin-
cess Hermine tomorrow, ex-kaiser Will
helm of Hohenzollern attended divine
service this morning in the little chapel
of Castle Doom. He heard a moving
sermon in which his courage in exile
was lauded and historic incidents in
his career as emperor were revived.
The former monarch was all atten-
ton as Pastor Vogel recited the glories
that were once Wilhelm's. More than
once the ex-war lord showed signs of
being overcome with emotion.
Meanwhile, at Amerongen, not far
away, the princess was happy again,
her six trunks with her trousseau be-
ing finally passed by Netherlands
customs officials without examination.
Outside the walls of Castle Doom,
milled great crowd of photographers,
correspondents, movie men and sight
seers, augmented since dawn until it
to be laying siege to the ex-
kaiser's stronghold.
Wilhelm, returning from early chapel
to find this state of affairs most try
ing to imperial dignity, fumed within
the gates of Doom house, declaring
that if he had his way he would
" Danish the whole gang from Doom. !"
Armed guards, increased drFing the
night, stood off the crowd of journal
lists and cameramen.
Prince Henry, brother of the mon
arch, arrived at Amersford, near
Doom last night where an extraordin-
ary reception awaited him. Booming
of flashlights began the moment the
royal visitor, accompanied by his son,
stepped from the train. Prince Henry
threw aside his dignity and scurried
like a frightened rabbit to a closed
that was to take him to
the Castle Doom.
Arriving at Doom House, Prince
Henry went Immediately into a
lengthy midnight conference with the
eX-kaiser.

MacReady and Kelly Forced
By Engine Trouble to
Abandon Trip
NEAR INDIANAPOLIS
Third Record Made By One,
2,O5O Miles Made In
25 Hours, 16 Minutes

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. A.
Lieutenant John A. MacReady, chief
pilot on the T-2 which broke the
worlds distance flight record in its
daring attempted transcontinental
flight, now stands out as the arny's
premier aviator.
The youthful MacReady now holds
three worlds aviation records, excell-
ing all other aviators in altitude, dur
alton and distance flights.
MacReady broke the official worlds
record for altitude when, equipped with
electrical heaters and a special oxygen
tank, he climbed more than six and a
half miles into the air to an altitude Of
34,563 feet.
He set the new record for duration
flight on October and 8, when he and
Lieutenant Kelly remained in the air
over San Diego for 35 hours, 1879 min

New Record Made

WASHINGTON, NOV. 4.-Offlclals
believe Lieutenants MacReady and
Kelly although forced to abandon their
attempted nonstop transcontinentai
flight at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind,
have established a new worlds dis
tance record but official computations
may be necessary to determine it.
Air service officials estimate the air
line between San Diego and Indianapo-
lis approximately 1,940 miles, while a
preliminary computation by the coast
and geodetic survey gave it as 1915.
The latter bureau said this estimate
might be off 20 to 80 miles.
Other distance records stand at 1916
and 1915 miles, the former being set
by the British filters, Aleock and
Brown in their trans Atlantic nonstop
flight and the latter by two French
men, flying from Villesauvage in
1920.
1t probably will be necessary to ex-
anime the flying logs of MacReady
and Kelly and measurements of the
route they followed before it will be
determined by the Federation Aeronau-
tie Internationale, the official aviation
organization of the world, whether a
new world s record has been set.
.'That Is might fine, said Presi-
dent Harding when he was informed
that the aviators in passing over Indi-
annapolis had broken the world 's dis
tance record.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Nov. 4.-The
attempted nonstop trans-continental
flight from San Diego to New York
ended here today when engine trouble
forced Lieutenants John MacReady
and Oakley Kelly to land'at Fort Ben
iamin Harrison, after covering 2,Oj0
miles.
This establishes a new world record
for long distance nonstop flying in
monoplane. p
They left San Diego at $3.50 Friday
morning and were forced down at Fort
Benjamin Harrison at 9:l5 this morn
ing, being in the air % hours and 16
minutes.
The two fliers previously had estab-
lished an endurance flying record ON
October 5 and 6, by staying in the air
81 hours and 1872 minutes.
On being forced down here, the cross
continental trip was abandoned.
MacReady and Kelly borrowed
plane from the Fort and proceeded TO
McCook Field, Dayton, their head
quarters, leaving at 1850.
Engine Trouble Cause
"Engine trouble" murmured Lieut.
enant Kelly as he climed stiffly from
the fusilage, "tough luck"
''Our engine started missing and we
had to come down.
Both MacReady and Kelly were be-
numbed by cold and sitting in cramped
positions while they attempted to blaze
the air trail from the Pacific to the
Atlantic seabaord.
Soldiers stationed at the Fort ran
out on the field when the aviators
alightcd. They offered to fix the
plane for continuance of the flight but
it was found that the engine would
need overhauling.
General Aultman, post eommandant,
was rushed out to the field by automo-
bile and congratulated MacReady and
Kelly on their record breaking run.

catches fire the spread is rapid. This
is why the rangers are so anxious to get
to the lightning fires quickly. Getting
them while small not only saves a lot
of forest from destruction, but it also
relieves the rangers of a good deal of
work.
Man caused forest fires, on the other
hand. ordinarily spread more rapidly
from the start, and no warning as to
when they will happen is given to
rangers. These fires are, therefore, more
difficult to get to as quickly as light
ming fires and often harder to control
after arrival. However. man-eaused fires
are generally in accessible country, along
roads and trails where they can be
easily reached, while lightning NAV
strike anywhere, often in spots very
difficult of access.
Studies have shown also that light
ming fires occur most frequently in GER
tain zones Parts of the national forests
of the southwest have virtually never
had lightning fires, while other localities
have repeated fires from this cause Such
areas are being definitely located as
quickly as sufficient information is
gathered and the Forest Service fire
organization is being constantly modi-
fed to take care of these emergencies.

LIGHTNING AS a FIRE RISK.
1t Is Fairly Constant Cause of Forest
CONGREGATIONS.

Lightning may not strike twice in the
same place although it strikes with sur
prlslng regularity, as shown by forest
fire statistic, complied by the United
States Forest Service, The figures show
that during three of the last five years
there were pol, l9l and 1917 forest fires
in the rationale forests of Arizona and
New Mexico due to lightning. although
during the other two years, which We're
unusually dry, there were considerably
more. This small variation of only ten
fires during the three years indicates
according to forest officers. that light
ming presents a fairly constant forest
fire risk.
1t. is pointed out by officers of the
Forest Service that lightning does not
always start forest fires, since q great
deal of, it occurs during heavy showers
especially in July and August Heavy
electrical displays during such storms
struck and often shattered trees, but
fires rarely start because of the down
pour OF rain. During June and the early
part of July however, there are dry
electrical storms. The skies cloud up
and there is a great deal of lightning
and terrific thunder, although little OF
no rain falls. In the course of such
storms many trees are struck by light
ming and forest fires often result 1t is
not at all uncommon for three or -four
fires to start in one locality from storms
of this kind. and as many as ten fires
have been known to originate thus.
Fortunately for the protection of the
forests. the Forest Service fire organiza.
tion always has sufficient warning OF
the coming of such fires. At the first
clap of thunder the whole machinery OF
