Without Using Flares

Paris. July P1Flares were
burning steadily at the Caen air
field, less than 90 miles from where
the America came down. and the
plane must have passed close with

intervals and the fire department

When Commander Byrd was first

WOMAN'S NATIONAL
PARTY CONVENTION
Session Will Be Held Next Month
in Colorado =. =

Colorado Springs, Colo. July 2LR
The first national convention of
the National Woman's Party since
the suffrage amendment was passed
six years ago will be held in Color
ado Springs, Colo, July 7.10.
A new constitution will be adopt
ed, national officers elected. and
plans for international cooperation
With foreign feminists will be ar
ranged.
Last summer the International
Women's Suffrage Alliance refused
TO admit the National Woman's
Party to membership at the Paris
convention. The former body con-
tended that the two groups did not
employ the same working methods.
"A strictly feminist international
is being urged upon U.s." said Miss
Mable Vernon of Wilmington. Del
aware, executive secretary of the
National Woman's Party, who will
be in charge OF the convention.
Leading feminists :,i over the
world. such as Lady Rhlndda and
Mrs. Pethick-Lawrence OF England,
DR.. Aletta Jacobs of Holland and
Petty kjelsberg of Norway, are
anxious for the American feminists
to form such a group, since the ex-
listing International women's or
carnations are not devoted wholly
to feminism.
Lady Rhodda of the Open
Door Council of Great Eritain has
written the National Womans Par
ty that she believed our decision
in regard to international activity
would have great r-percussion
throughout the world" Lady
T;hondda is on the International Ad-
visory Council of the National Wom-
ans Party.
Madame Maria verone Frances
militant suffragis and president of
the League for Women's Rights.
would like to see the Woman's
Party play an international role.
She also favors the formation of an
international group which would
lobby for equal rights and feminist
action at strategic points in Europe,
such as Geneva.
Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont. president
of the Woman's Party and one OF its
founders. is in Paris. American wom-
en- could stimulate feminism abroad
by more aggressive policy. she be-
lieves.
Miss Anita Pollitzer. national sec
rotary for the party, will go to the
Colorado Springs convention straight
from a year abroad to talk on the
international situation.
Representatives from 81 states will
be present at Colorado Springs as
we'll as visiting delegates from other

Records Are Safe
En- route to Paris Commander
Byrd found TO his happy surprise
that most Of his charts and impor-
tant records OF his transatlantic
fight were among the articles that
we're saved from the transatlantic
plane America yesterday morning
after the landing at Ver-sur-Mer.
The discovery came when Com
mander Byrd and his three COM
panions got together on the train
and inspected what they had SAL
vaged from the plane.
The American aviators were
rather tired today for none of them
had more than five or six hours
sleep last night for they were kept
Up at the Prefecture of Caen long
past midnight and had to be up ear
ly this morning to catch the S:19
express.
All Of the fliers. except Com
nander Byrd, left Caen with boards
that had been growing since time
before their departure from New
York on Wednesday morning. Com
mander Byrd managed to borrow a
razor yesterday evening and got a
shave, but the others had to wait
until they could reach their hotel in
Paris.
Commander Byrd and Lieutenant
George 0. Neville wore their khaki
uniforms which had been dried out
for them In front Of the fireplace
at the house in Yer Sur-Mer where
they stopped Wednesday morning.
Bert Acosta had a suit OF clothes
given him by the keeper Of the YER
Sur Mer lighthouse where he and
Lieutenant Bernt Balchen bunked
after their landing. Balchen wore
a suit given to him last night at the
Prefecture Of Caen and sport
shirt that was so much too small
Tor him that he had to wear the
collar open and turned over his coat
in the fashion Of tennis players.
Commander Byrd and Lieutenant
Neville had sent clothes to France by
H. A. Gibbons, personal representa-
tive Of Rodman Wanamaker, spon-
sor Of the flight, and everything
from underclothing to hats and
shoes was waiting for them at the
hotel. Acosta and Balchen. however,
had no clothes OF their own to look
forward to on their arrival in Paris.
During the train trip Acosta tried
on the coats OF several newspaper
men and finally picked out one man
as being more similar to him
anatomically than the others. 1t was
arranged that twenty minutes after
the trains arrival. the newspaper
man would bring Acosta a blue suit.
a shirt. tie and other necessities for
his appearance at today's luncheon.
Acosta's feet, however, were larger
than those OF the man whose clothes
fit him, SO another newspaper man
offered 20 rush a pair Of number
elevens to the hotel as soon as pos
sible after the arrival Of the train.
No Plans for Future
Commander Byrd and his COM
panions said that they had no plans
for the immediate future but that
they probably would remain In. Paris
week or so until all official func-
tons given In their honor had been
attended. Lieutenant Balchen hopes
to 90 to Norway to see his mother

Denver. Colo. July R1The
courses travelled by the pioneers Of
the west are much better known by
students today than by those hardy
adventures.
This is the result Of five years
bert in mapping the trails. He is
spent by Prof. Archer Butler HUI
with the Stewart commission on
western history at Colorado College,
Colorado Springs.
The Oregon. Santa Fe and Nor
mon Trails, the route of the Pony
Express, those lines OF communica-
tions made famous by Kit Carson.
John G. Fren' ont. Buafflo Bill, Jim
Rridger and others. have been trac-
ed and mapped in terms Of Sec
ton, township and range.
The trek of the overland wagon
trains, the westward push of the
Pony Express and its allied cara
vans, the routes they traversed. the
place where they stopped. now are
definitely known for the first time.
A general map OF the roads Of
Fremont, Carson and the Forty
Miners shows lines following the
shadow cast today by the airmail
planes as they wing their way
across the continent. The landing
places usually are near points made
famous a century ago by overland
caravans
''lf. IN imagination" declares Pro-
fasor Hubert. "one swings the old
Oregon Trail or the Santa Fe Trail
eastward from Independence. Mo-,
instead of westward, he will find o
clearer idea of the length of the
journey which the covered caravans
made from the Missouri river to the
Pacific coast. Going east on the
Oregon Trail. one would cross South
Pass in northwestern Pennsylvania
and find that Portland, Ore. was in
Nova Scotia. Going east on the
Santa re Trail. one would find that
Santa Fe was in the Tennessee
mountains and that Los Angeles was
400 miles beyond Cape Hatteras In
the Atlantic ocean.
with this re-arrangement OF the
routes one can readily grasp the
magnitude of the trips undertaken
by those intrepid pioneers who car
ried civilization into the wilds be-
yond the Ohio river
The work of Professor Hubert
was plished through the CO.
operation of the American Geogra-
phical Society. the Library OF Con-
gress, Harvard. Yale and other uni
versities. The results have been
compiled into five volumes, contain
ing some 275 maps, showing about
1000 miles of trails in more than
1900 townships in II western
states.
The work Is to be followed by the
compiling and editing Of journals
and diaries Of the pioneers. which
will form a documentary history Of
the West between from the War of
1912 to the completion of the Union
Pacific railroad.
