not encounter bad weather or road
conditions.
Roads throughout the state are re-

some of the dirt roads are somewha:

Little Rain Over State
Only six of the 18 reporting sta

The heaviest was at Pembina, with
30 of an inch, while Bottineau re-

mitted inside the railroad station on
the arrival Of the train.
Determined to See Airmen
Determined to see the American
airmen, however, wOrkmen crowded
the car roofs Of every train in the
vicinity and passengers craned their
necks out of windows to their great
peril in an effort to catch even Il
fleeing glimpse of them.
All the way from Caen to Paris, "A
four-hour trip, Commander Byrd and
his companions were kept busy ac
commodating autograph hunters, and
most of the passengers Of the express
train left their own cars at one time
or another to enter the car where the
aviators had reserved compartments.
At the railroad station itself. 200
police sergeants lined the way to
the small waiting room wnere d re-
ception committee had it's chance to
shake hands with the airmcn and
offer them congratulations.
Levine C0ngratulates Them
One of the first to rush up to the
flyers and shake hands in congratu-
lation was Charles A. Levine, who
arrived in Pairs yesterday with
Clarence d. Chambcrlin. Levine had
waited Is minutes, surrounded by a
crowd Of his own admirers who were
eager to obtain his autograph.
The ceremony in the waiting room
was brief and then the flyers, emerg-
ing from the station and preceded by
20 burly policemen, had to face a
new mob of excited, cheering thou
sands. AS they entered their waiting
cars they smiled and bowed and even
kissed hands in acknowledgment OF
their welcome.
Commander Byrd and his compan-
ions said that they had no plans fol
the immediate future, but that they
probably would remain in Paris 3

COMMANDER BYRD WILL
FLY OVER SOUTH POLE

to fly over the South Pole and
Neville and Balchcn will be with
me-" Commander Richard f.
Byrd said this afternoon.
my plans are not complete
and | cannot announce when VIC
will start" he said.
When asked where he would
take off, he said that it must be
from the great ice pack south OF
New Zealand which is the most
solid great bit Of ice from which
to start"
Commander Byrd said that
a south pole flight. while longer
than one over the north pole,
would not necessarily be more
difficult.
"The object Of the flight will
not be chiefly to fly over the
south pole" Commander Byrd
continued. "Thcrc is an unex-
plored area of 100000 square
miles in that area and it will be
of great scientific interest to
have knowledge Of it through
exploration from the air"
The commander said that the
flight will be more than 1000
miles and should result in great
benefit to geographcrs, metcorol-
ogists and other scientists.

TRAGIC ENDING OF FLIGHT
FIRES FRENCH IMAGINATION

Paris, July 2-R)--America's new
"air ambassadors" have made an i'm
preston on Franco in no way below
that of their predecessors.
The dramatic and almost tragic
end Of their great flight has fired
French imagination; they are he
rocs Of the hour. The public talks
and reads about nothing but them.
the newspapers almost entirely being
given over to long accounts Of their
flight and their nearfatal landing
in the sea over Vcr-Sur-Mer.
In intellectual circles the interest
is intense, for there is scientific
nature about the flight of Command
er Byrd and his three companions
that appeals more than the sporting
quality, and the hope is expressed
that the commander will consent to
give some account Of the valuable
observations made during the DIFF
ficult journey.
Commander Byrd calculates that
from the time the America took off
at Roosevelt Field. N. Y, until the
forced landing was made, it covered
4 200 miles. This would be 295 miles
further than the distance covered
by Clarence D. Chanberlin and
Charles A. Levine in their recent
transatlantic flight from New York
to Germany. According to the flyers
they came down at $3.50 o'clock Fri

time over the ocean was computed
by the commander as 10 hours.

FASCIST BODY IN WAR
ON PARIS FASHIONS
Makers of Women's Garments De-
mand Severance of Relations
With Rue de La Paix.
By the Associated Press.

ROME, March 15.-Rupture of all
diplomatic relations with the Rue de
la Paix was demanded yesterday by
the dressmakers of Fascist Italy.
The demand was made by the gen
eral assembly of the Fascist National
Association of Tailors of Women's
Garments, which has been debating
means Of freeing Italian women from
''enslavement" to Paris fashions. This
step was taken after the leading dress
makers attending the assembly had
been forced to admit that all previous
efforts to make Italian women prefer
domestic modes had been failures.
The only remaining possibility, the
assembly decided, was to ask the gov
eminent forcibly to remove from the
sight of Italian women the irresistible
temptation of Frances sartorial de-
lights. Accordingly, an order of the
day was adopted requesting the au-
thorities to forbid foreign dress houses
particularly French ones, from giving
the usual exhibitions of the latest
modes in fashionable hotels.
These fashion shows, which were
said to be increasing in number, were
declared by the delegates to have a
fatal effect. upon the patriotic inten-
tons of Italian women to use home
products. thereby seriously affecting
ltaly's national economy. The authori-
ties also were asked to prohibit. the
sending of fashion scouts" to Paris
by Italian firms to import the latest
french modes in dresses, coats and
hats.
