London, May 31.— UP) —Captain Lindbergh probably will sail for home from a French port at some date shortly after June 4 on the Am erican destroyer Breck. The Breck will be at his disposal after that date. It is probable that he will fly from London to Paris Thursday in a new British plane loaned by the Gritish government, and that he will remain in France less than a week. As he landed in France after his record breaking trans-Atlantic flight from New York, it is his desire to sail from a French port, and he probably will go aboard either at Havre or Cherbourg.

The Tribune eßureau. the week-end have been worth hun dreds Os thousands of dollars to the farmers in those sections where the rainfall was material, according to Frank Parker, of the U. S.*State Crop Reporting service. While the rain was not as general over the east ern section as had been hoped, the ■Wilmington section getting but a slight rainfall, other sections in the east have benefitted greatly, especial ly the trucking sections. In the potato sections the rain may be detrimental, in that it may cause a second growth, which is not desir-i ed by the growers at this time. Corn, tobacco, cotton, and virtually , all other crops have been much bene fitted by the rain, and what was rap- , idly ‘becoming a serious farm situa tion. due to drought, has been avoid ed, Mr. Parker states.

CONCORD, N. C., TUESDAY, MAY 31, 1927 CONTRICT FOR NEW LUTHERM CHURCH HAS BEEN AWARDED Blythe & Isenhour, of Charlotte, Has Lowest Bid.—New Church Cast Approximately SIIO,OOO. SALVAGEPRESENT chDrch Plant Final Services in Historic Building Next Sunday— Will Use High School for Services.. I'ontract having been awarded last ! Friday to Hlythe & Isenhour, < tial ; Lotte contractors and builders, for tA ■ new SIIO,OOO plant of Saint Jaira Lutheran Church, the task of salvag ing the present, church building and parsonage, at the comer of South Union and AVest Corbin streets, begins this week. THe SIIO,OOO represents church and equipment complete. • The magnificent new church, which will be an imposing structure of bead tiful Gothic architecture, and trimmed, in all probability, in Indiana lime stone, will be erected on the site of the present chore in 1882. a historic landmark of 45 years. Tin contract provides for the coinpletipn and the presentation of the new plant to the building committee eight months after its construction is begun. Allowing at least five weeks ' for the razing the old church and par sonage, it is expected that the new plant will be ready for the inaugural service sometime during the month of March. 1928. During the period the new building is under construction, all services of the Saint James Luth eran flock will be held at the Concord high school auditorium. At least for the next few weeks the high school will be the "home” of St James’ mem bers. The final services in the old ehqrcl will be held the forthcoming Sunday morning and night. The usual S&i day morning service will be featured with special musicnl numbers, -At the last eveniug service choir- music will feature the program, and also the older members will relate tk< history of the church. - L The temporary parsonage UCtW m the old Buchanan lioinf on Smith Union street, and ißev. L. A. Thomas and his family are preparing to move from the old parsonage, fronting on West Corbin street, during the cur rent Week. It is probable that the parsonage will be the first building to be torn away. Letting the contract for the new church required considerable time in asmuch as the half dozen contracting companies submitting bids had prices far in excess of the amount of expen diture proposed by the Lutheran mem bership for the building. Contractors used the paring knife in revised bids, and likewise a section of the Sun day school quarters as drawn by the architects, Spencer ft Phillips, of Memphis, was abandoned through lack of funds. But the portion of the Sunday school building which will be left out will not bring about any great change or cause any congested 1 conditions as to space, it is pointed out. The new building will be adequate in size, in fact its size will care for any im mense growth of the church in the ensuing years. The church membership and Sun day school enrollment long ago having grown to such size as to render the present church too small, grave con sideration from time to time to erect a new church building was in the minds of the Saint James’ Lutherans. Late in 1920 the matter came to forefront again, this time to develop, and in January the members sub scribed $90,000 toward a new build ing. The building committee was ai>- polnted, and immediately architectuul plans were made by Spencer & Phil lips of Memphis. Bids were asked for, and recently six contracting com panies submitted plans, Blythe & Isen hour of Charlotte, preparing the low est figures to build the new church. Magnificent Building. Whpn completed the Saint James Lutheran Church will be one of the finest buildings in the Carolinas or in the South. The church will cover a large amount of space, being com plete in every respect and unsur passed in its type of beautiful archie tecture. From the exterior it will resemble a great building of the Rom an age, picturesque and yet strikingly modern. The tower at the northern corner will rise into the sky in its quaint beauty, artistically trimmed and lend* ing 'added beauty to the skyline of Concord's business section. The main entrance will front on South Union street, with side entrances on West .Corbin street to the auditorium and to the Sunday school division. The interior will be finely finished in the Gothic design, presenting • spectacle of froridrous beauty, the unique window arrangements with varied colored glasses giving it an added touch of splendor. The\ spacious auditorium will ac commodate 480 persons—2o more than the present active membership—and the balcony will care, for 125 persona. Os course this ia not - the ultimate seating capacity, *lri time of its need considerable more persons may be easily admitted into the tiiditoriuia KING GEORGE RID PRINCE OF WILES GREET LINDBERGH I King Talked With Ameri can Airman for 20 Min utes, During Which He Gave Him a Cross. KING CHUCKLED AS HE TALKED i Heard With Great Interest of Lindbergh’s Experi ences on Historic Flight. —Crowds Cheer Him. London, May 31.—C4 3 )—A young i m an with keen eyes and a winning : smile called at Buckingham palace to i day and told King George how it feels to fly over the Atlantic all alone from New York to Paris, i The King received his visitor cor dially and before many minutes had passed decorated him with the Air Force Cross, to add to the other dec orations which he already wears. The honor conferred by the British sovereign seemed to stump Lindbergh. He Hushed and for a second hesitated! but another handshake from the King soon put him at ease. Then they sat down and Lindy told the King how it was done, talking in a most natural and enthusiastic man ner. The King was enthused too. George V doesu't care much for flying himself, in fact, he has never been in the air, but he is a sportsman, and he is a hero worshipper just like ev eryone else when he hears of a real heroic deed. His kindly eyes- twinkled as the American boy related some of his ex periences arid he was seemingly much taken by Lindy’s happy, way of mak ing his points clear. The King chuck led time and again at hiN visitor's live, manner of relating certain incidents. The flyer arrived at Buckingham Palace a few minutes ahead of sched ule, coming from Downing Street where he was received by Premier Baldwin, to whom also he related some of the most interesting details of his 'Mil ami --II t.-l-. | ||.Oil l-X 11.-l-M-in 11.- embassy, he arrived at the palace for his visit to the King he found an enormous crowd waiting. His car, however, passed into the court yard almost, unnoticed, owing to the fact that so many motors were going through. When, however, lie alighted at the Privy Purse door, and the American colors on the chauffeur's uniform were noticed, the spectators recogniz ed him. There was cheer after cheer while men even raised their hats, while women and children screamed themselves hoarse as he disappeared into the King's household. Captain Lindbergh was dressed in a dark suit with pin stripe, and the King and Councilor Sterling wore morning dress. The reception was without formali ties, Captain Lindbergh and Mr. Sterling being met by Gen. Trotter, one of the King's aides, and escorted to the King's private room. Limlberg was with the King just 20 minutes, and it is understood that he did his share of the talking. Afte'r the visit to the King he vis ited the Prince of Wales. Too Many Holidays. Constantinople, May 31.—50 many religions holidays are celebrated here by various creeds that Turkey's metropolis really has only three full business days a week. Friday is the Moslem Sabbath, Saturday the Jewish and Sunday the Christian. Tuesday is not religions, but held to be unlucky because cen turies ago it fell Into the hands of Moslems and Greek tradition as to its ill luck has been taken up by the Turks. Monday is a business day but not a good one. ■ ■ 111 ■ and its balcony. The interior front of the auditorium will be elaborate, the chancel in itself a hall of xpjendor, flanked on either side By the choir platform, and the pipes, of the organ rising above. The organist will be seated to the right of the chancel, and to the rear of the chancel will be the alter in the center, slightly elevated. Beneath the main auditorium will be the men's elaNg room. This de partment will >lso be known as the church social room, the room opening into- the kitchen at the right. The seating capacity will be adequate for all needs, and the room will be equipped with a stage. Just to the left of the kitchen will be the boiler room and to the right of the latter will be the church vault. Flanking the rear of the church, and running back for considerable distance will be the Sunday school department, three stories in height, or two stories in comparison with the main part of tbe building. On the first Boor will be the chapel, ladies’ class room, and the junior department. The church offices, including the pastor’s study, the cradle roll, begin ners’ and primary departments will be located on the second floor, while on the third floor will be tbe depart ments for the seniors, intermediate and young people.

L (I-I-N Exclusive) WEIGHTS AND MEASURES REGULATIONS STUDIED Regulations for State Will Be Based on Government Standards in Fu ture. The Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Italeigb. May 31.—Regulations gov erning weights and measures in North Carolina, to be formulated by the State department of agriculture, will be based on government standards as provided for by legislation enacted at the 1927 session of the general as sembly. Commissioner William A. Graham, who will have in charge the appointment of a superintendent of weights and measures, the appoint ment, however, not to be made until sometime hence,' has just returned from Washington, where he attended the sessions of, the National Confer ence on weights and measures. His purpoae was te Collec t da* on . en .foreeinept. ip., Jtije. vartoue state#-and to famifiame himself with gotwS» ment standards and requirements, to guide,him in drawing up regulations. He was accompanied by William H. Richardson, editor of publications, who also was present to collect data for the department’s guidance. The North Carolina law was de clared to be in keeping with the mod ern trend. While it differs slightly from some of the other state laws, it was pronounced satisfactory by those who examined it and was termed certainly a step in the right direc tion. It developed at the meeting that the avalanche of filling stations, for hire taxis and other modern contriv ances that have swept over the coun try has mayle it necessary to adopt very stringent rules in some instances and to pay particular attention to tolerances and correct standards. In many -of the states gasoline measuring devices constitute a problem. It was declared, however, that for the most part, at least, manufacturers of scales, measuring devices, etc., are anxious that their goods shall be standard, uniform and fair in every respect. The North Carolina law is very stringent in many respects. It car ries with it the power of search and sizure and is termed a law to protect the purchasing public. It is probable it will be administered, for a time at least, by agencies Already existing within the department of agriculture, so there will be no new appointments because of it at present. Under its terms, strict supervision of all weigh ing and measuring devices is called for. Incorrect, or dishonest scales can be confisoated and a penalty is provided for any who interfere with an inspector in the performance of his duty. As a matter of fact the inspectors, when the law becomes fully operative, will be special officers with power to arrest. Not only that, but they will have the right to examine all weights and measures and, if neces sary, to intercept incorrectly weighed or measured goods in process of de livery. Commissioner Graham stated that he had no definite announcement to make at this time. The conference lasted the greater part of four days. Southern Forces Win Again.
