The Carnival dance at the city

tronized and enjoyable affair. The

panied by Mayor and Mrs. Deane
left Tuesday morning of last week
on a trip to Billings and Hardin,

A man has crossed the ocean
alone. This alone is a notable fact.
That he did so in something like
thirty-three hours is wonderful
that he made the trip through the
air is equally wonderful. but that
he made the trip without the aid
of another or more persons, depend
ing entirely upon his OWL efforts
to pilot the ship, is the most extra
ordinary part of his achievement.
In coming years a trip across the
ocean from New York to Paris will
be a very ordinary thing, but it
will eve become common for a
single passenger, sitting at the
steering apparatus for thirty-three
consecutive hours to make the trip.
