give clue to the fate Of the three
brave men who accompanied Old
Glory to this Inflated endeavor."
Aboard the plane when it left Old
Orchard Beach, Maine, for Rome,
were Lloyd Bertaud and James d.
! Hill and their passenger, Philip A.
Payne. managing editor of the Mir
rOr.
Shipping men believed continued
search was useless. They pointed to
the observation Of masters Of YES
sells who looked for the plane last
week, that the stormy, shark-infested
waters would prevent the survival Of
the strongest regulation life boat.
Wreckage Seen in Pacific
The seas continued to yield frag-
mcnts of information concerning the
fatcs of recent aerial expeditions
that evidently ended in tragedy. The
latest came from the Pacific, where
wreckage painted bright yellow,
like that of the Golden Eagle of
the Dole flight casualty list, was
sighted September by sailors aboard
the fishing schooner William H.
Smith.
Ignorant of the transpacific flight
and its tragic features, the scamen
thought the wreckagc merely a piece
Of driftwood, and did not pick it up.
They sighted it about 1000 miles
east Of the Alcutian islands at spot
which the plane might have reached
ii 1t had been blown oft it's course,
or through the wind and tide.
The Golden Eagle was plotted in
the race to Honolulu by Jack w.
Frost Of New York, with Gordon
Scott as navigator.

Rules For School
Entrance Formed

Unless children are SIX years of
age before the end Of the second
month after the opening Of school,
they will not be admitted to school
during that year. it was decided, at
the monthly meeting Of the school
board Tuesday night. II was also
decided by the board that no children
under seven years Of age will be ad-
mitted after the fret month Of
school.
These rules were formed because
Of the crowded condition Of, the low
er grades. and because OF the fact
that when q child comes into the
first grade after school has been. in
session more than month it makes
much additional work for the teacher
as such child must have individual
attention for several weeks in order
to catch up with the other students.
No other business was transacted
by the board except the consfdcra-
ton Of bills against Tho district.
