THANKSGIVING DAY
The first Thanksgiving Day observed in America
was that proclaimed by Governor Bradford of Ply
mouth colony in 1921, the year following the landing
of the Pilgrims. During colonial days similar observ-
held on various occasions.
President Washington by proclamation set No
vember &c, 1889, as day of general thanksgiving,
but during the early history of the Republic such OBJ
irregular, and the several states gen.
orally set their own dates for holding them.
1t not until 1864, under President Lincoln
that the last Thursday settled upon as Thanks
giving Day throughout the United States.
The fixing of this date is said to have been large
ly due to the efforts of Mrs. Sarah j. Hale an Aeri-
can author, who began agitatng for uniform annual
date about 1910. Each year she wrote to all state
governors asking that they the last Thursday in
November, and gradually they fell in with her idea.
On the Pilgrims first Thanksgiving Day wild
turkey formed the chief constituent of the feast and
ever since turkey has been nseparaby associated with
the days observance.

statement to the grand jury, which
he did.

Head, was a suggestion that the

if the records would show the

by his office illegally.
The defense then brought up the
question as to the instructions
Judge Finney should give the jury

Judge Finney did not rule.
Judge Finney, in statement
this morning said his ruling of last
week regarding the admissibility n
checks and other records into tie
evidence and the matter of them
gazing before the jury had been ms
interpreted in some quarters.
His ruling, according to the
Judge. was that all of the evidence
would be allowed to go before the
jury but that they would be in
structed that certain items which
Gillett did not know about and
which were handled by deputies,
would be placed before the Jurors
as not to be passed upon unless they
were convinced Gillett did have
personal knowledge and benefited
by such action of his deputies.
The case becomes more compli-

According to competent observers
the trial should end the latter part
of the week and the jury take it

Bellonte, still undaunted, will try
again.
Neither the failure of their own
flight nor the tragedy of the Azores,
where the Polish plane, Marshal Pill
sudski, crashed Saturday night af'
ter developing motor trouble, kill
ing Major Louis Idzikowski and IN
turing his mate, Casimar Kubala,
discouraged the Frenchmen IN their
determination to blaze an air trlai
from Paris to New York.
After getting a perfect start IN
their attempt TO cross the Atlantic
last Saturday, Coste and Bellonte,
far out at sea, decided to turn back
to Paris because of the terrific
winds and their effect upon the
planes fuel supply. They landed
at Villa Coublay airport outside of
Paris after having flown $500
miles.
"What happened to the Polesf'
was the first question Coste shot at
the United Press reporter who shook
hands with him when he came out
of his cabin at the airport. The
news of the tragedy was great
shock to both Frenchmen.
I'VE are very tired - Coste sald,
''but it was a great experience. We
will try again. -
Meet Bad Weather
SON our outward Journey we met
bad weather 800 miles from the
coast Bellonte said. 1.-The hail
stones were as big as chicken eggs
There was fierce adverse wind. We
were able to go little better than
so miles an hour,
! Coste said they saw there and
then that they never could be able
to make the opposite coast OF the
Atlantic.
eve found we We're consuming
more gasoline than we had expected
so we finally decided there was only
one thing to do-turn back, he
said.
1--WE opened a bottle of cham
! paigne over the Atlantic, drank tt
our future success and started
back
The Frenchmen were almost at
the Azores when they decided to
90 back to Paris rather than risk
landing on the rocky islands where
the Polish flyer met his death.
Coste and Bellonte had always
known that a flight from east te
west was more difficult than IN the
other direction. But now they are
more convinced of it than ever
! Coste said.
''But l never realized it was Sc
difficult to do as it is. 1t is easier
TO do 10 flights from New York t.
Paris than one from Paris to New
York. he said.
