WASHINGTON, May 23.-The tenth anniversary of the first transatlantic flight, achieved by the NC-4 in May. 1919, will pass into aviation history without any spectacular demonstration from an air minded world to mark it.
 Aviation historians, however, rec ognize it as one of the outstanding triumphs of aeronautics, surpassing in importance many other flights which received more general pub lie recognition.
 No official observance of the his tory making venture is planned by the navy or by the aviator5, now scattered. who made the flight

 Attempts to obtain a suitable museum building in which the fa- nous, but now almost forgotten plane might spread her wings in full glory, failed years ago.
 The ship, which carried six men in safety from New York to Ply mouth, England, by way of the Azores, on one of the best planned flights in history, awaits a better day in which to claim her just re- ward.

 Capt. H. c. Richardson, credited with the design of the NC planes hulls and pilot of the NC-3, leaves the navy this month to enter civil aviation as an expert designer. His ideas dominated the design of a long line of navy fliers which recognize no superior.
 Lieut.. Walter K Hinton. who with Lieut.. Elmer F. Stone, piloted the successful NC-4 is head of an avia . tion correspondence school in Wash ington. Lieutenant Stone is sta- toned at the Wilmington, N. C., coast guard station.
 Ensign Herbert c. Rodd, the ra : dio operator who kept in communi- cation with other planes in the trio and with ships at sea during the flight, is in the navy's bureau of engineering in Washington. Lieut.. J. G. Breese, the pilot engineer, left the navy to become head of Chi cago engineering corporation. while his assistant, l.. s. Rhoads, chief machinist's mate, is stationed at the naval air station in Pensacola, Florida.
 The three NC planes, built not for a conspicious attempt to be the first to span the Atlantic but as an answer to the world war sub marine menace, are bigger than any planes now flying in the United States.
 They had wing span of 126 feet, demonstrating their ability to carry 51 men on single flight still a record-and carried six men on their historic flight to Europe. No plane since the NC-4 has carried six men on a trans Atlantic flight.

CRAvESLEAvES ON INSPECTION
 TRIP WESTWARD
Will Inspect Dairy Cattle and Visit Many Island
 Fox Branches

Dr. Earl F. Graves, Territorial Veterinarian, has left for a several weeks trip to interior and western Alaska for a visit to fur farms and to inspect dairy herds. He will proceed directly to Fairbanks and work back to the coast, probably going to Kodiak before returning here.
 In addition to the work among the fur farmers, which he has been doing for the past two years Dr. Graves now is responsible for the inspection of livestock which here tofore has been done by the Fed eral States Relations Service under cooperative agreement with the Territory. To perform this ef- fectively it will require him to spend much of his time during the summer months in travelling. On his present trip he will inspect dairy nerds at Fairbanks, Matanuska, Anchorage, Seward, Kodiak, Cor dova. and probably other places.
 It is not expected that this work will interfere seriously with his fur-farm studies. In making his livestock inspections at the various points he will also get into contact with individual fur farmers, study ing their methods and advising them on their feeding, breeding and other problems.
 Dr. Graves was accompanied to Fairbanks by Mrs. Graves. She will probably remain there most of the summer.

"Barroorl Face

John Henry Titus, SO, recited
his way out OF the Third District

he said was the original version
of THE Face on the Barroom
Floor" written by himself.
Titus. a venera ble.looking char.
acter, faced eviction from his

and said he was the author OF
the noted verses. The late Hugh
Darcy, who had the copyright
on them and before his death
often told of the circumstances
OF the writing without mentioning
any previous verses of the kind,
Titus, said parodied his own poem
inscribed 56 years ago.
TO support his assertion he
broke forth in verse, differing
somewhat from D'Arcy's poem.
Justice Caffrey heard couple of

. ISFOUND IN
C|STERN

& WINCHESTER, Va. May 27.-
Frederick county officers are in
vestigating the finding of the body
Of girl baby in an abandoned
cistern on the John Nicodemus farm
several miles nortn Of town.
Discovery OF the body in the els
tern was made by John New
eonbe, jr., IS years old, who told
Sheriff Pannett that he was hunt
ing on the Nicodemus farm when
the discovery was made.
Newcombe told the sheriff that
last fall while hunting on tha
Nicodemus farm he heard dog
wailing and found the animal had
fallen into the old cistern. He
lowered himself into the place. and
rescued the dog. there being little
water in the cistern at that time.
Looked in Cistern
The youth said he happened to
BE in the same neighborhood yes
terdav afternoon and as he passed
he looked in the cistern and
caught sight of the baby lying a.
the bottom in several inches Of
water.
Newconnbe ran to the cooporage
shop of Roy Boyce, some distance
away, and told the workmen Of
the find he had made. The men
employed in the shop went to the
eistern and saw the baby's body
lying at the bottom.
Sheriff Pannett was at once noti-
fled and at his direction the baby
was taken out and brought to the
Kurtz morgue here for eD1balming.
DIR. A. C. Swimley, county physi.
clan. who was called, made an exam
inatior Of the body, and gave it as
his opinion that the child had
f,een lead at least week and prob
ably longer.
Apparently Strangled
Or. Swimley found a strip of cot.
ton cloth tied around the neck, In.
dicating that death had resulted
from strangulation. There was
also evidence that the child had
not been given medical attention
by a physician after birth. The
baby weighed 10 to IL pounds.
Whether the child was born in |
the vicinity of Winchester or was
brought to this section from an.
other part of the country and the
body thrown into the old cistern, |
II matter of speculation.
