FIELD WORK
IS COMPLETE;

Commissioner McDOna a Id
Assures No Delays Need
Be Feared
MIDDLE OF MAY
Wait Only Approval of u.
S. Bureau of Public Roads
To Commence

.'The reconstruction lof highway
30 east of Douglas will not be started
for at least so days and it will prob
ably be somewhat longer than that
before bids are called for" This was
the statement last night of j. F..
Mcdonald, state highway commits
sioner for this district VINO arrived
IN Douglas yesterday with County
Engineer sgd Smith.
Mcdonald said: Field work has
been completed on two surveys o. the
26-mile stretch at Douglas and run
ming east and the office work is 20
per cent complete 1t will probably
take go days to complete the office
work. After that the data must be
submitted to the bureau of public
roads. The bureau will send the re-
ports to the San Francisco office for
study and recommendation and from
there they must go to Washington
for final approval.
after the bureau has approved one
survey or the other o. a combination
CT both, the project will be returned
to the state highway cOmmisSion, aid
hids will be called Tor at once
There will be no delay ON the part
of the state engineer or the state
commission and the work VIII GER
tSinly be started IS soon as the bu.'
rrau of public roAss has completed
jts recommendatio and approval
while am awa"e that the public
Is impatient over the delays OF this
project the work has been carried on
as rapidly as posSlo.e AS a matter
of tact these surveys should have been
II ade under the previous administxa-
ton and while l am not disposed to
md fault with anyone or with any
parU of the hlg way system at the
same time it IS true that we are about
six months baauld in the highway
program. The construction on the
Rodeo-Douglas highway cannot start
before the middle Of May and pcS,,hly
not until later.
Mcdonald called attention to an
other matter in his statement. He
said "It is an interesting fact that
the people appear to be much mere
concerned in the Douglas-R PFC
ject than they are in the bridge
building program on rough highway
out of Yuma which effects tourist
traffic over the highway 30 to q
much greater extent than the condi-
ton of the road east Of Douglas" Z"
The commissioner pointed out that
tourists in California would be in-
formed that the bridges over the San
Pedro are temporary structures and
that there is very poor piece OF
road out of Yuma and they would
take the northern route instead OF
coming this way.
The commissioner also went into
the detail of the governors emer-
gency proclamation. EIe said,, 'The

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 20 pP-7Lindbergh


81. LOUIS, Feb. 20 tP-zLindbergh
tiew the air mail again today.
Fresh from the most brilliant flying
conquests in aeronautical history, Col
onel Charles A. Lindbergh went back,
for two days, to his old job as mail
pilot on the St. Louis Chicago route,
for the purpose of advertising and
dramatizing the air mail service.
Approximately 100000 pieces of mail
were dispatched here on the Lindbergh
flight. This shattered all records. The
volume was so great that five planes
were required to carry it. A sixth mail
plane carried movie men.
Lindbergh went aloft in two of the
planes and flew around Lambert-St.
Louis field before he took off at 425
p. m, in new Travelair plane. He
planned to change planes at Spring
field, and Peoria, the two regular
stops, so that all the mail would be
personally flown by him.
A crowd estimated between son ~-
1000 was at the field to witness the
take-off
The first plane to leave was piloted
by Thomas p Nelson, Chicago
Cleveland route flyer. He left at 4:O8
p. m, Phil Love, an old air mail
buddy Of Lindbergh, hoped off at
Alb p. m, Then Lindbergh took the
air simultaneously with Bud" Gurney,
one of the regular pilots. The fifth
plane, piloted by E. Sloniger, left at
4:43 p. M, and the sixth, piloted by
Leslie Smith, at 4:44 p. m.
Lindbergh took as his passenger
Frank H, Robertson president of the
Robertson Aircraft corporation holder
of the air mail contract. Love took
Harry H. Perkins, secretary treasurer
Of the company
Lindbergh and co-pilots will make
the return flight from Chicago tomor-
row.
The official count of pieces mailed
here was $4,000.
They weighed about 1850 pounds.
The envelopes carried "a special can
cellA:iCn stamp, horse shoe with the
words "Lindbergh again lies the air
mail" Most of the envelopes will be
treasured by their recipients as souven-
irs Of the return of the great flier to
his old service, which he left year
ago to prepare for his transatlantic
flight.
CHICAGO, Feb. 20 l9 - Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh completed his
st. Louis Chicago air mail flight at
7:45 p. m.
The flier's landing was kept secret,
airport officials bundling him into q
truck and spiriting him away before
making the announcement that he had
landed.
Lindbergh's plane was the third to
land here but he was carried away
before anyone knew that it was his
plane. Police squads kept everyone
back from the field, enabling the flier
to make his departure unmolested.
So methodically did he move that
not until 16 minutes after he landed
was it kJNown he had reached Chicago.
At 8 o'clock airport officials made
known Lin6bergh had arrived but had
departed at once to an unannounced
destination.

REGISTER UNIFORMS
Designs Filed With Government
Use of Native Materials
Sought.

CANTON, China LP).-Student bodies
which have their own caps and uni
forms must register their respective de-
signs with the government and now the
use of native-made cloths is urged by
the authorities.
The provincial governments OF KWang-
tung and Kwangsi have been instructed
by the branch political council to in
augurate campaign in universities and
middle and primary schools to encourage
students to practice economy and thrift.
AS step in this direction attention
has been called to the attractiveneSs OF
the native woven materials, which are
both low in price and very durable.
recommendations governing the max
ing of uniforms were published by the
school authorities as a guide. The
color and style of the uniforms are to
be chosen by the school officials them
selves and are to be reported to the
government for record. Uniforms, caps
and badges for students in universities
and technical schools are to be of dis
tinctive pattern so as to be readily diff
fentiated from those used by ordinary
schools.

the Commissioners, "the schools would
get only what's left after all other Dis
trict needs were taken care Of" The
people of Washington, he said, have a
right to ask the question, why is 1t
that model Washington, with its white
marble place for the Commissioners to
work in, and its beautiful broad streets,
is obliged to send its children to frame
shacks and to part-time classes?"
THE Board of Education is required
by law to submit its estimates for school
needs and for improvement of these
unpleasant conditions, and when it does
some one comes along and says au-
thority over the schools should not be
with that board but with the Commits
Sioners," Carusi said.
This thing has humor in it for all Its
seriousness" he observed. Here two
years ago. when the people of Wash

planning of the 'deplorable' conditions
of the public schools 1 didn't hear a
peep out of the Commissioners about
responsibility for the schools being
theirs Now, however, when improve.
ment in the system is becoming notice
able, they claim the system as their
own"
