BLUE EAGLE WILL
 NESTLE DRAGON
 UNDER ITS WING

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 8. = The dragon of Chinatown will humble itself to the less terrifying, but more influential blue eagle of Pre- sident Roosevelt's recovery cam palgn, it was revealed Monday. when a telegram was sent to Gen. eral Hugh s. Johnson, Recovery Ad- ministrator, pledging the Chinese Laundry Association with compli- ance to the presidents code.
 It is pointed out that the Oriental workers often work more than 72 hours week and this shortened Workday will be a novelty to them. The telegram did not mention any wage schedule.
 In Washington, Johnson was very pleased with the action as express ed in the telegram and stated that he would have someone versed in the ways of Oriental business pre- pare a real code to replace the pre- sent temporary code that the laun- drymen have adopted.
 It is said that Tong leaders had an important influence in bring ing about the decision of the laun- drymen to comply.

 RECORD IS SET
 BY FRENCHMEN

PARIS, Aug. 8. Completing their long distance flight with the claim of new record after 56 hours and 29 minutes in the air, Maurice Rossi and Paul Codos,, French fliers, landed at Rayack, Sy- ria, Monday at 1O:1O Pacific Coast time
 In message to the Air Orient Company, Paris, before landing, the fliers claimed a new distance non- stop record of more than 5.7OO miles. The old record, established by two British fliers was 5,35O miles,
 The fliers took off from New York Saturday and crossed the At lantic without mishap. They fought some bad weather over the mid Atlantic but came through alright.

They continued on, however, but their 1.77O-gallon supply of gaso- line became exhausted much soon CT because of the leak.
 The fliers kept in almost constant communication with the French air ministry. They attributed much of the success of their flight to the perfect preparations they had made in New York.

TWO new MEMORIALS
ERECTED TO LINCOLN

Springfield, Ill.-(CNS) Rich In
lore and traditions of its most fav-
orite son. Central Illinois will have
another State museum with the re-
iteration OF the one-time capitol
at Vandalia, where Lincoln first
served in the Legislature nearly
a century ago; and plans are being
formulated for the preservation OF
another historical landmark. the
old State House at Springfield.
Thus Illinois is adding two Of
its former capitol buildings to the
already numerous memorials 10
Abraham Lincoln.
1t was here at Springfield that
Lincoln. crusading against slavery,
made the famous speech in which
he declared that "A house divided
against itself can not stand"
Both the old capitols now are
being used as county courthouse
Typical OF the first some structures
erected when the frontier was
pushing toward the Mississippi,
the buildings have been altered
somewhat as they were put to
other uses.
Illinois is taking steps to restore
the buildings. inside and out, and
use them as museum for relics,
pictures and documents of the time
when Lincoln helped govern the
state and Nation.
