Gets Legion of Honor.
Premier Poincare pinned the deco
ration of the Legion of Honor on the
breast of Comdr. Byrd this morning.
The ceremony took place at the min
istry of finance. in the presence of
Sheldon Whitehouse, American charge
d'affaires; Capt. White, the naval at
atche, and II. A. gibbons, personal
representative of Rodman Wanamak-
err, who sponsored the Americas flight
across the Atlantic.
The premier chatted pleasantly for
a few minutes with the airmen, con-
graduating them on their courage and
endurance and the great scientific sue
cess of their exploit.
The commander thanked him simply

lions located over the transatlantic
route to enable a navigator to locate
his exact position at any time, so that
he need not fear being drifted off by
strong cross winds which he was I'M
able to calculate. A wind of 40 miles
an hour from the left side would blow
q plane 40 miles off the route per hour.
Those planes of the future flying
10000 feet will always be high enough
to enable the navigator to see the
stars and sun practically all the time,
thus permitting him to keep his
course.
On the America, at frequent inter-
walls. despite the clouds, we had oppor-
tunities to do this on her flight.
The result was that while we could
not tell how much the wind had
blown us off our course nor calculate
the errors of our compasses, we knew
before we got out of the dense fog
almost exactly where we We're.
The big landing wheels of such a
plane would offer considerable resist
ance in the air, slowing up the plane
by perhaps five or ten miles an hour.
Therefore the landing gear would
have to be made so as to be with
drawn close against or into the fuse
1age.
I believe that Neville has demon
strated that passengers in this air
liner Of the future will be able to sit
comfortably in their cabin and re-
ceive messages from any place in the
world.
Single Engine insufficient.
It Is thought that only one engine
will not be used for these planes, as
too much would depend on it's work
ing, and no airplane engines are like
ly to be built in the near future
which will be absolutely infallible. No
mechanism built today is infallible.
The engine of railroad train may
break down and no great harm be
done. If the engines of an airplane
stop, the plane must come down i'm
mediately and the landing speed of a
plane is always such that if it hits
any obstacle disaster must result.
On our trip our three motors ran
for AZ hours without any one of them
missing a beat. That should be proof
enough of the reliability of the mod
ern engine, and to Charlie Lawrence
of the Wright Aeronautical Corpora
ton, who designed them, a great deal
of credit must go for the success of
our trip.
IL SiI6lIiSS 50 ISiledDlS DIS tflCSc can
be designed and go successfully
through 42-hour test such as we
gave them. then flying across the At
lantic cannot any longer be regarded
as a risky or unsafe business. The
difficulty of motive power has been
overcome.
While we are on that subject of
new inventions let me recall that
when Alcock and Brown made their
first great daring jump from New
foundland to Ireland, they flew in a
fog a great deal of the way and never
knew on which side they were fly
ing. For many minutes they were
flying upside down.
Lucky for US, since then there have
been invented instruments which
show exactly at what angle a plane

CHICAGO. June 14.-Trading in
wheat was quiet on the Chicago
Board of Trade today. While there
we're scattered rains in Oklahoma
and Texas, it was generally believed
the precipitation was not sufficient
to delay harvest. Weather over the
spring wheat belt was more favor
able, although temperatures are
still a little below normal. Late
profit taking in corn caused wheat
to decline l cent. Receipts here
we're only eleven cars. The cash
market was steady and unchanged.
Corn was higher early, reacted,
and then moved up on a heavy sec
ondary wave of buying, closing x
higher. The weather was unsettled
over the belt. with heavy rains re-
ported in Missouri and the Ohio
valley. There we're rumors from
Springfield that the Kessinger bill
had been sidetracked, which brought
in some buying. Receipts were 1O6
cars. The cash market was q to

Oats were strong with corn and
