for home.
Passing over q little Summer cottage
colony a few miles out Of Baltimore.
now flying quite low, we were picked up
by a motor boat searchlight, which sill
vered the wings and flooded the cabin
with light. We slid smoothly beyond
It's range a moment later and were
over Baltimore Harbor, with the run
ming lights Of ships shining In the
stream.
Ahead the beacons beckoned us on
to Logan Field. Once more the boun-
ary and obstruction lights appeared
below and then, as we passed overhead,
the whole field broke into light as
great foodlight spread a warm and
CHEEKY glow over the landing area and
smaller lights bathed the hangers. IT
was a heart-warming sight; friendly
and inviting.
We left Logan behind and after few
moments the great glowing lights went
out leaving us hes ding out over the
darkened countryside, where Occasional
lights marked farm houses OF high
ways. Ahead there appeared row OF
four green lights, which Miller in
formed us were block signals along the
electric railroad line. Glenburnie ana
Bowie beacons appeared.
Ahead the clouds were dropping
lower and lower. We were down to
few hundred feet and still the trauers
from the cloud masses just above
streamed away below. One OF the pea
cons blinked its last as 1t became
shrouded in white. A mist seemed 70
rise from the ground to join the mist
which dropped from above. Between
the clouds. however, the air was clear
and the lights cleaned brightly. The
lights of Washington, however. dlsap-
reared to the west In bank OF mist.

Hvattsville and Riverdale were below
and to the right. Soon the Eastern
Branch could be seen in the reflected
glow of the city lights from the low
hanging clouds. The Capitol, bathed
in fioodlights and with beacon shin
ing above its dome, was hard by I'M
der the right wing. The clouds were
heavy and almost to the ground over
Mount Pleasant and the row OF nils
stretching away to Wisconsin avenue.
We came low over Potomac PARK, on
a level with the top OF the WaSnlng-
ton Monument, now Shrouded In cloud,

were many shadows of the Monument
cast on the cloud fllamentS, each larger
and more ghostly than the one pre-
ceding.
Flying up the Potomac at 400 feet,
we finally were barely able to make
out the great revolving beacon on top
of Wardman Park Hotel, with its fixed
pencil of light pointing the direction
to Boiling Field. Both beacon and
marker were shrouded in clouds. An
easy swing to the left brought us back
to Boiling Field, where the landing
fioodlights came on and the lighted
"wind-T" shone brightly. Miller set
the wheels down lightly as a feather.
1t had been demonstrated that light
house in the middle of a farm Is not
so inappropriate as it might seem; that
it Is. in fact, one of the great neces-
stiles of the day in which we live.

CHINESE IS KILLED

Police Believe Staying Was

Groups Pledge Peace.

NEW YORK, June 7-Scarcely was
the ink dry on the peace treaty signed
today between the Hip Song and On
Leong tongs when another Chinese, the
seventh to meet violent death in the
last three days, was shot and killed in
his Harlem laundry tonight.
Tong officials failed to identify the
body as that of one of their members
and Police Commissioner Mulrooney
believed the killing might be an act of
private vengeance.
The victim was Charles Wong, 25,
who operated a laundry in West 124th
street. Neighbors said they saw a Chi
nese wearing a brown suit and a straw
hat run out of the laundry after the
shooting. There were five bullets in
Wong's body.
Summoned into conference by Dis
trict Attorney Grain and Police Com
missioner Mulrooney and warned that
further outbreaks would lead to whole
sale deportationS, the tong leaders
agreed TO end the disturbances, for
which they blandly disclaimed re-
sponsibility.
The leaders pledged themselves to
notify the tong headquarters. in other
cities of the agreement.

From this review of the battle line we might be tempted to con- clude that the enemy. of God, the foe Of Jesus Christ and the church which He founded, has so far ad- vanced and has caused so much havoc to souls and society in Amer ica that Christian civilization and stable government are in immediate peril Of annihilation.
