Underneath me for a depth of
close to 1000 feet was clear night
air. Under that was a blanket O.;
smoke-thick fog which 1 had deter
mined by my altimeter to be at least
1000 feet in depth.

About 8:15 o'clock / judged by my
compass reading and process of
dead reckoning that 1 must be
over Chicago or its suburbs.
I nosed down a bit into the midst
Of the black haze. Sure enough
under my wings I could detect dull,
vague glows that indicated up
reaching beams OF electric light.
The city lights were evidently
not far below-far too close, in
fact, for comfort. I spiraled up
until again was in the open.
In clear weather the searchlights
that send their beams up from
haywood Field can be observed as
far as 100 miles.
But these lights, Of something
like 100000 candle power each,
were unable to pierce the over
hanging gloom, even to get a ray
up to me.

The 675 boy and girl pupils Of the

Groups Of the children sang songs,

HAYNES

A final effort was made today by
Wayne B. Wheeler, generalissimo OF
the Anti-Saloon League, to persuade
President Coolidge to go over the
head of Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon and appoint Roy A. Haynes
as prohibition commissioner.
Wheeler was closeted with Mr..
Coolidge for almost an hour. He
later issued statement setting
forth the reasons why Haynes should
be appointed, one of his chief argu-
ments being that Haynes has had
long experience in the work.
Secretary Mellon is understood to
be opposed to naming Haynes.
