Shaken up and bruised, the four
airmen-Byrd, Lieutenant George O.

Berndt Balchen- quickly pumped up
the pneumatic air raft carried for
such an emergency, and made their
way to shore, 200 yards distant.
Tonight their tilree-motored plane
rested on the beach like a storm
battered bird, it's landing gear torn
away, its wings badly damaged and
everything about it soaked from ly-

The brave four, terribly iatigued-
having had only q few hours sleep

the comfort OF untrammeled rest at

Calvados, as the guests OF that city.

the reception awaiting them in Paris.

During the afternoon the plane was
inspected and it was found that the

motors were hanging from the wings.
Admiral DeMaugy, naval commander
at Cherbourg, ordered officers here at

instructions to take any steps necessary
toward salvaging the America.
Speaking to the newspaperlnen who
had flown from Paris, Commander
Byrd estimated CnaC ne nau COVeISu

He described the passage over the
Atlantic in the in1penetrable fog as a
terrifying experience"
Then, he mentioned the wandering
over France with the disabled COM

their position, and in conclusicn said:
"I want to speak especially OF the

300 American Marines
 Arriving in Shanghai

London, Feb. 10 P'-The arrival of 800 American marines in Shang- hai was reported in an Exchange Telegraph dispatch received here today. Two battalions of British troops are expected tomorrow. the dispatch adds.
 The general situation at Shanghai is reported unchanged, but circum- stances add to belief that Hang chow will become untenable for the northern troops and thus will open the way for a concentration of the Nationalists at Shanghai. It is be- lieved that this is an explanation for the dispatch of troops to Shang- hai.
 People desiring to return to Han- kow have been officially advised to remain in Shanghai, the dispatch says.

TREE FRUITFUL
 AFTER 63 YEARS
Monument Erected to Shield
 This Old Apple

Peru, Iowa, Feb. 19 P(--An apple tree so famous that monument has been built In tribute to it stands in the orchard of W. B. Landis, and age of 6S.
 It Is the parent of all apple trees of famous variety. Last year it produced more than five bushels of sound, red, five-pointed apples.
 Developed by accident, the tree has been kept thriving by the pains- taking efforts of tree surgeons. Doc tors and dentists of orchard culture have in the aged veteran their best client.
 The decayed wood of its trunk is periodically removed and replaced with special concrete filling. The trunk has been rebuilt with steel vertebrae, and the roots are watch cd for symptoms of old age like a dentist searches for cavities.
 Limbs and branches are kept cut away so that the limited cadmium layer of the trunk will not exhaust itself in carrying plant food to the upper tree.
 When a pioneer orchardist named Hiatt set out a Bellfower tree in his garden in 1864, the young plant dwindled. But the seeding root re- mained, and was grafted to another branch. The hybrid flourished. After Hiatt died, orchardists sponsored a boulder monument in the park at Winterset, nearby county seat, to perpetuate his name and the tree he developed.
