 Apparently, however, the flyers encountered heavy weather and the supply was drained prematurely.
 Their actual a&nding place, the air ministry said, was on an estate named Liwyncelyn at Manordilo, near LlandiIo.
 The original route as planned was 3,574 miles. Llandilo iS about 175 miles from London.
 Only 15 Hours
 Richman telephoned to the town from Llwyncelyn, saying he thought the flight took only about IS hours.
 Richman said he hoped to refuel and continue to Croyden tonight. Llwyncelyn Manor is about six miles from Llandilo, which is about 69 miles from Cardiff. It IS a fat, oren agricultural region, suitable for an emergency. landing.
 It was raining in Cardiff.
 T am going to fly to Bristol with enough gas to enable Merrill to reach Croydon" Fsichman said. "AIl- other plane will fly to Ilwycelyn in the meantime with enough gas to get them to Bristol tonight"
 If the other plane is successful in refuelinS the Lady Peace" Rich man said, "t think 1t is likely that the flyers will stay in Bristol for the night. expect they are pretty tired, now that 1t is nearly 20 since they left new York"
 Landed in small Field
 It was under, ,Co0d the flyers land ed in a small field from which q takeOf might be difficult, especially with Q heavy fuel load.
 A refueling plane carrying 50 gal- Ions of gasoline took of from Crowdon airport at b:22 p. m. 70 supply fuel for the Lady Peace at Llwncelyn, Wales.
 Harry Richrnar told Croydon of- ficials by telephone that he believed he could take oil from the field at Llwncelyn, although 1t was very small.
 Early Report of Flight
 They reporteded at 8:ol a., m, (3:0l a. m. EDT) that they fiew into the sunrise 27 minutes before and calcualted they were 2,0ll miles at that time from New York. They were flying at 10000 feet to escape clouds but even so were efagulfed frequently in fog that forced them to fly blind. .
 The air ministry said weather conditions were certainly not ideal. ' Rain was falling over Ireland and wales and storms extended far out to sea.
 It was estimated that the biz Vultee monoplane Lady Peace, which Richnlsn bought and out fitted with every advanced accessory for this flight, should reach Ioav don at about 3,3O ?. m. (l0iSO 2. m. EDT.), lS hours after Merrill lifted 1t oil Floyd Bennett field, New York. The air distance is S,S74 miles.
 Spelled Each Other
 Merrill and Richman, who also is . licensed pilot, were spelling each other at the controls. Rich- man made the hourly radio calls. His deep voice boonaed cheeTfuily through heavy static but cDnvessa- tions were kept short to conserve the planes radio batteries. The calls were made on the e,beo kilo- cycle frequency.
 Before the sunrise the Lady Peace had been immersed for tive hours in a fog 50 dersse that Mer. Till and Richlnan could see neither

tive expense, also the expense of the
General Assembly every two years,
the total cost would still be only 81
| pei cent of the total State expendi-
lures.
Where 1t Goes.
All of the balance of the States re-
venue, or 93.6 per cent, is spent for
educational, charitable and benevol-
ent purposes, including the amount
needed for debt service, since all of
the general fund indebtedness has
! been incurred for buildings and equip
ment for the various educational,
it was pointed out.
Thus out of every tax dollar collect
| ed by the State-not a cent of which
comes from property taxes-68.1 cents
| goes for education, IL cents for the
administrative State departments, 4.6
cents for the support of the various
charitable and correctional institu-
tions, "a cents for pensions, IL cents
for State aid to various projects, es-
pecially welfare; IL cents for the sup
port of the judiciary and seven-tenths
of one cent to defray the expenses of
the General Assembly every two years
In showing the various sources of
the States general fund revenue, the
Department of Revenue has prepar-
ed another graph or cut depicting the
proportion of revenue derived from
each source. On a percentage basis,
the States revenue yield is as follows:
Corporation franchise and income
taxes, AL per cent, of which 24.7 per
cent is franchise and 20 per cent cor
poration income taxes.
Individual income taxes, II per
cent.
Sales taxes, 1873 per cent.
License taxes, GA per cent.
Inheritance taxes, 1.9 per cent.
Beer taxes, IA per cent
Transferred from highway fund, 81
per cent
Non-tax revenue, SO per cent.
Schools Big Item.
A comparison of the two graphs
shows that if the State had not un-
dertaken the support of the public
schools, that the revenue from either
the corporation franchise tax or from
the corporation income tax would be
sufficient to pay the expense of OPP
Grating all the State departments, in
stitutions and agencies, with the ex-
ception Of debt service, and that the
two together would be more than
enough to pay all the cost of operat-
ing all State departments, institutions
including educational institutions and
debt service as we'll and still leave
several millions of dollars year sur
plus.
A further study of the two graphs
disclose that the license tax and the
non-tax revenue would be sufficient
to pay the cost of operating all the
State departments and of all State adj
ministrative salaries and the cost of
maintaining all State charitable and
correctional institutions.
At the present time all of the cor
poration income tax, all the personal
income tax and all the sales tax rev.
enue constitute only Sc per esn: of the
States total income and lacks per
cent of providing enough revenue for
the public schools alone.

1t must be remembered, observers
point out, that it is not only the city
unemployed, but the farm unemploy-
ed who are a problem. The United

SOCIAL SECURITY
Four years hence, also, our social
security measures may be considered
a failure. Few states have complied
with the federal regulations, in order
to participate. State legislatures are
governed largely by forces opposed to
social security.
Proponents of the present measure
assert that this opposition now may
result in drastic" measures later
against which this one will seem
weak and watery.

HINT went into it's seventh year

how and why Supreme Court Jus,

Fighting Force Fell to Low
Ebb as World Nations
Looked Toward Peace
By JOSEPH H. BAIRD
copyright 1886 by United Press)


WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. (UP)
The beating of war drums abroad
has inspired an increase in both
the size and efficiency of the
United States army during the
last year.
Although still small in compar-
ison with the land forces of Euro
pean powers, the army has in
creased its strength from 5000
to los, 700 men. More important,
it is stepping up its firing power
and mobility at a rapid rate and
is building one of the most pow
erful air corps in the world.
Fast tanks, a completely motor
lied artillery, rapid transport and
swift-striking airplanes are the
weapons in which the modern gen.
eral puts his trust. General staffs
are agreed that the next war;
will be one of quick, daring ma
lneuvers rather than a gruelling
deadlock b etw n entrenched
forces like the World war. Hence
the emphasis on speed.
Behind the building of what
might be called this "new army
lies an interesting period of
American military history. The
United States always has adhered
to the idea of a small, well-train-
ed force in days of peace, backed
by a reserve corps with some
training which could be quickly
expanded in time of war.
When Europe burst into flame
in 1914, the U. S. army was in
significant compared with forces
across the sea. Even in 1910
when the first national defense
act was passed, it numbered only
5,025 officers and 102,616 men.
The original national defense
act, the cornerstone of modern
American military policy, author,
lied a standing army of 11,45C
officers and 223,5S0 men and q
national guard of 1900 officers
and 100000 men. Further, it sci
up a reserve officers corps, estab,
hshed a system of military train,
ing in colleges and founded 8
council on national defense.
1t also provided $14,000,000 fol
aviation. With amendments, max,
ing changes in numbers, the ACT
still stands.
But the armies established BY
the act remained largely theoreti,
cal. Right on the eve of Americas
entrance INTO the World war, this
country had only 100000 mer
under arms-133, 900 in the reg,
ular army and $1,000 in the ma,
tional guard.
Then the wolNi saw a military
miracle. In less than Is months
the United States had 3,757,624
men under arms-2,086,000 OF
them actually at the theatre OF
war in France.
In the great, Meuse-Argonne of,
Ifensjve, 100000 U. S. soldier:
took part.
But military historians are care
full to stress that most of these
troops were carried across il
British ships and that the U. S
army relied largely on the French
for artillery. The country was no
self-sufficient.
When it came time to disbant
this huge war machine and con
gress began forming a permanent
defense system in the amended
national defense act, it provided
for a standing army of $4,000 OF
ficers and 100000 men. But, a.
the size of the army always ha:
been dependent on the money ap
propriated by congress, it never
has approached that strength.
While there seemed hope of dis
armament throughout the world
