TRESPASSY, N. F., May 23.--With
the cheers of a motley and shivering
little group of townspeople and news
paper men still ringing in his ears,
Col. Francesca De Pinedo, Italian
four-continent flyer, bade farewell to
the hemisphere at dawn this morning
and hoped for the Azores and home.
A light west wind was blowing as
the great white Santa Maria III rose
slowly from the water of the harbor,
circling the bay in spirals until an
altitude estimated to be about 900
feet had been reached. Then. with a
roar, De Pinedo turned his planes
nose to the southeast and spun swiftly
through the morning mistS and out of
sight over the Atlantic Ocean.
Refreshed by a long rest and ap.
parently reconciled to two previous
delays. which had detained him here
much longer than schedule, De Pipedo
was confident when he got into his
plane. An Italian assistant had put
everything in perfect order, while a
tug from St. Johns assured the
aviator that he would be able to get
his machine into proper position
quickly.
Fog Adds to Danger.
The road from Rome and back,
which has carried him across the
broad South Atlantic, over the i'm
penetrable jungles Of Brazil, above the
stretches of Caribbean Sea and into
Arizona, brought him today to one of
the most perilous portions of the long
adventure, since it meant that the
treacheries of fog on the Grand Banks
must be successfully negotiated and
more than 1000 miles of water con-
quered before victory was grasped.
But the Italian aviator predicted
that he would be in Casdelo Branco,
Port the Azores, within 12 hours,
where, according to Capt. Rocha, the
Portuguese consul at st. Johns, who
spent yesterday here with De Pinedo,
the inhabitants plan rousing recep.
ton for the flyer.
He left at 4:2S o'clock local time,
or 1858 Eastern Standard time.
De Pinedo arrived here last week
by easy stages from Montreal, after
completing his North American tour,
which was marked by the destruction
of the original Santa Maria by fire
by a careless cigarette smoker in
Arizona.
A second plane was rushed from
Rome to New York, and the intrepid
flyer resumed his way.
Originally he had hoped to reach
Rome by May "a, but his revised
schedule calls for the end Of the tour
in two days.
Drops Excess Equipment.
In making preparations for the hop
to the Azores De Pinedo jettisoned
his radio and other excess equipment,

well to get acquainted with this before the touring
season opens.
Conflicts between federa-numbered and state-num-

ordnated.
All the east-andwest roads given odd numbers
The eastand-west transcontinental routes

south routes are all given numbers the federal
routes being multples of 10. Roads running into main
arteries have high numbers, the last two figures of
which the numbers of the arteries they join It
will be readily how this arrangement should help
the tourist always to know where he is and save him
troublesome inquiries and possible accidents
Twenty-Five states have already finished this re-

port of work done on State roads
has just been published, containing
among other views pictures of I'm
pcrIal county work and detailed
description Of the difficult work

The report states that the paving
across the sand dunes, on the Ell
Centre Yuma road, was probably
the most spectacular undertaking Of
highway commission during the
past biennium, classifying the form
er road over the shifting dunes,
which had been in use for over ten
years, as menace to traffic and Il
barrier between the imperial Valley
and the east. One of the most un-
usual accomplishment of the high
way commission in building the
sand hill road was the drilling of
we'll, which produced flow of 500
gallons Of water per minute, and
assured a plentiful supply during
the work. Over 10000 cubic yards
Of sand per mile were required to
build the road to the level desired,
and an asphalt concrete surface six
inches in thickness with nine inch
edges and 90 feet in width was con,
structed, making permanent road
over the dunes and closing the last
gap of impossible road across the
desert between FL Centre and Yuma.
In addition to the survey of the
sand hill road paving, the report
contains photographs of other I'm
