AGED MAN WILL
STAGE FUNERAL
BEFORE HE DIES

WALLER, H., Aug. Is. U.P)-S. p.
Patton, 80, will have the novel ex-
perience on Sunday, August 80, of
attending his own funeral.
The idea of having his funeral in
advance and then lust being
buried" after death, was Patton's
own. He decided that if he's to get
any flowers he wants them while
he's still alive and added that he
didn't see how any eulogies would
do him any good unless he actually
could hear them.
The aged man has arranged for
four ministers to preach sermons at
his funeral" He also has sent out
the announcements and asked all
persons who would consider sending
flowers to his real funeral to send
them now instead. He told them to
throw them on his lap rather than
on his coffin.

TO EVADE LAW

Augustine Garcia of Brawley, is
held at the county jail on charge
of theft of an auto. following his
arrest yesterday.
Garcia chose the auto of Judd
Porter, Brawley mailman. as his
mode of exit from Brawley and
thereby made a mistake. But he
gave Constable Bill O'Brien an ex-
citing chase before he was finally
placed in custody.
When the going got too hot for
Garcia he hoped into an n
rigation ditch and swan long dis
tance under water in the hope of
putting the constable off the track.
The latter kept watch however and
was close by when want of air fin
ally forced Garcia to the surface.
His eXertions had taken such toll
from him that he was glad to call
it quits and so was the constable.

Siberia at Lac a. m. tEST) today,
according to a radio message re-
ceived at navy radio station here.
The first man to fly alone across
the Atlantic ocean from the United
States to Europe thus was joined by
his wife in blazing new air line
from America to Asia across the Pa

Their flight of approximately
1867 miles from Nome to Karaginski

message Mrs. Lindbergh tapped out
slowly but expertly on the tiny
portable radio sending apparatus
aboard the ship.
"Reeling IN antenna," she stated.
"See you at Greenwich time Il a.

A short time earlier, Mrs. Lind :
bergh mad messaged that departure
from KaraginSki for Petropavlovsk,

the Lindberghs believed they were
over Witgenstein Point on the coast
of Siberia and that they expected tc
arrive in three hours. In tha
message it was not stated where thu

1t was a treacherous land owe
which they flew-usually land o
