It was the first time airplanes
ever have flown from the North
American continent to Asia.
Japanese and American de-
stroyers with their crews were
awaiting the planes and cheered
their arrival.
The flight now will continue
through the Japanese islands until
the arimen reach Toxic, where
elaborate arrangements have been
made to honor them.
The Japanese naval air forces
will cooperate on the flight through
Japanese territory.
The jump Of the American fly
ers from Chicagoff to Paramash-
iru was more than 800 miles and
places them near the lead of the
efforts of four nations to gain long
distance supremacy in the air.

Greatest Exports Since War

Exports of domestic manufac-
lures from the United States in the
fiscal year 1924 which ends next
month, will materially exceed those
Of the fiscal years 1928 or 1922.
While they will not. of course, equal
those during or Immediately follow
ing the war, they will apparently
exceed those of the fiscal year 1928
by about 5000 900, and those of
the fiscal year 1922 by more than
S4QQ, 100000. and will also be much
greater than in any year preceding
the war.

LARGE CONTRACTS LET
SHOW NATIONAL GAIN
Large Public Building Awards Fall
ing OFF Gradually.

, Gains in construction during April,
as compared with the month preced-
ing and with the corresponding pc
riod in 1923, occurred in three Sec
tons Of the country, namely, the
South, the Middle West and the Far
West. In all the other geographic
divisions there were declines.
Large contract letting, however,
has shown steady gains over the
entire country during the past three
weeks. Both private and public con-
struction have contributed to these
gains. Large public building awards
have fallen off gradually since the
week of April "a. Judging from the
number of large projects now out
for bids, any gains in contract let
ting during the next three weeks
will be in private work.-Engineer

Bethlehem Steel Corporation to work their

ing between the lines of Duns and Brad

hope that slowing down Is approaching the

the final disposition of the bonus bill viii
be the determining factor in business with
it's natural reflection on the market; Even
the most optimistic press report estimates
that if the veto is sustained it will be by
a narrow margin.
You can make up your mind to thus tact
that if the bonus bill becomes a law you
Ncsn forget about tax reduction at this ses-
sion. 1t would be inconsistent to increase

Coolidge, at Age Of s,
Learns First Economic
Lesson From Election

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Presi-
dent Coolidge received his first lesson
in Sound political economy" and a
striking lesson in domestic economy
during the Embellishments cam
paign of 1880, when he was eight
years Old
Speaking informally at the annual
meeting of the Ohio Society of Wash
ington last night, Mr.. Coolidge told
this story of an incident of the Gar
field-Hancock campaign:
1T was during that campaign that
I, as small boy, approached my
father, who was a very good busl-
ness man, with the proposition that
he should furnish me with a penny
to buy some candy. He told me that
we were in the midst Of a political
campaign, and that there was a
probability, a possibility at least,
that we were going to elect Demo
crat for president. Such an action,
he said, would undoubtedly be fol-
lowed by hard times, and therefore
it was necessary to economic.
THAT was sound, doctrine, l
think. Anyhow it had to do for me.
81 recall the next morning after the
election, and, as soon as the news
reached our town that James A. Gar
field had been chosen president, l
went to my father and told him the
result indicated we were to continue
a. Republican administration, and
with that prospect in view, l was
able to secure the advance OF the
