NEW YORK CURB MARKET

The general market displayed more
irreg ularity than at any time during
the present upward movement. Dur
Ing the early part OF the day oil
shares were not inclined to pay much
attention to the latest increase in
gasoline prices. especially the ad-
vance by Standard of Indiana of quo
tations in its territory. But when
the whole market began to pick up
in the afternoon the oil shares went
along with the rest. Standard of
Kentucky had been exceptionally
weak in the forenoon and at one
time down as much as four points.

checked in the later trading.

that II had not fully measured the

have made the landing even earlier
had 1t not been for an uncharted
mountain range we encountered
near the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
We had spent considerable time at
Washington, in the Weather Bureau,
studying weather maps and fore
casts, and we thought we had taken
into consideration every contingency,
ana here was a mountain which
threatened to prove an unsurmount-
able obstacle when we were almost
within sight Of our goal. MacReady
was at the wheel. We were heading
for Phoenix, having planned to fly
directly over Phoenix. Flying COM
paratively low over q high plateau
we came to an immense forest. We
dont know the name either Of the
forest or the mountain, but the two
of them put US off our course almost
100 miles. Feeling it would be haz-
ardous to traverse this uncharted
course we struck a general course
toward the coast. MacReady sur
rendered the plane a short time later
to Kelly, and MacReady took 1t
again after we had passed the I'M
perial valley.
The practical results of our trip
could be specified in various ways.
There should be no fear now that
the Hawaiian Islands would be cut
off from communication or supplies
during a state of war. Dispatches
could be sent from the East to the
West coast in a day; passengers
could be transported in an equal
space of time, and ammunition could
be conveyed to beleaguered forces
anywhere.
The important point of this world s
record, however, is one which should
make every American proud! 1t was
made in America.
