“Lindy” Flies To The
Capital For His Plane

O’clock This Morning

TOST. LOUIS
Wanted to Have Plane for
Trip so Suddenly Decid
ed to Make Trip While
Most of the City Slept.
New York, June 16.—Colonel dine.
A. Lindbergh in evening clothe* flew
to Washington at dawn today, and
back to bring his other half of “we,”
• the Spirit of St. Louis, to New York.
The young nvitor's stunt was al
most a* dramatic as his hopoff in the
fog for Pari*.
It was a demonstration of his
ideas on the progress of aviation, the
ease, safety and convenience with
which an experienced flyer may do :
the seemingly impossible.
After a hasty breakfast at Mitchell
Field, Lindbergh parted again for the
intimate party of his adventures, and
returned to Manhattan for a rest be
fore'continuing the vigorous program
laid out for him.
The Park Avenue district above the
Grand Central terminal, where the
flyer is staying in a borrowed apart
ment, was astir with excitement as
the time approached for Lindbergh
to leave for Brooklyn.
When he appeared on the street a
snow storm of torn paper descended
upon him from windows and his car
rolled away between sidewalks crowd
ed with cheering men and women.
Work was temporarily suspended in
office buildings as employes crowded
the windows. The route lay down
Broadway and past City Hall where
lie was welcomed on his arrival Mon
day.
After a brief visit to police head
quarters, where Lindbergh thanked
Commissioner Warren for the police
protection given hims he went to the
offices of the Sun, where he was pre
sented with a scroll on Which was in
his way to France, and which has been
widely quoted. ij
The round trip from New York to
Washington, a matter of 560 miles,
and four hours flying, was essgyed
after a strenuous program of enter
tainment during the afternoon, eve
ning, night and early morning. , He
flew in his dress suit, covered by fly
ing togs. The entertainment was
hi progress until 45 minutes before
he jumped from Mitchell Field at 2:48
a. m. daylight time. ,
After viewing boxing at the Polo
Grounds and a Ziegfeld show Lind
bergh saw a chance for the reunion of
the famous flying firm of “We”, an
opportunity to bring his Spirit of St.
Louis from Washington in order to
fly It to its home port of St. Louis
tomorrow. So he borrowed an army
plane all of a sudden to the surprise
of friends, and flew to Washington for
his ship.
His mother left by train for St.
I<ouis last evening.
At Capital just 25 Minutes.
Washington, June 16. —(A*)—Cha*.
A. Lindbergh swooped down upon
Washington out of the darkness of
the early morning hours today, jump
ed into the coekpit of his famous
trans-Atlantic airplane, the “Spirit of
St. Louis,” threw open her throttle
wide and darted away toward N#w
York.
The unannounced and unceremonial
visit required Only 25 minutes, mere
ly time enough for the flyer to change
from the army plane which he board
ed two hours before at Mitchell Field,
L. 1., to his own plane, which was
left here after his home coining wel
come because of engine trouble.
Only a Jew newspaper men, a'
scattering group of sleepy-eyed spec
tators, and the personnel of the naval
and army air fields, witnessed tMs
quiet arrival and hopoff, which was In
sharp contrast to the clamor which
accompanied Lindbergh's home com
ing here on Saturday and his depart
ure on Monday .

STATE SHOULD PROVE

Raleigh, June 16, —With the same
amount of effort and attention North i
■ Carolina opportunities for hunting
can be made more attractive than
Pennsylvania affords, is the general :
impression gained by a special com
mittee .of, the Board of Conservation i
an(l Development after a study of the

ing to a statement today by Maj. \
Wade H. Phillips, director. / \
The Pennsylvania system is out
standing among these of the country, :
and a number of states have adopted '
many of the fentures in vogue there, I
North Carolina's new statute being i
ione of these.
“We were impressed." declared Di- I
rector Phillips, “with the popularity, 1
success, and economy of the opera- f
tion of the Pennsylvania game law.
“The success in that state demon- 1
strates what may be done town rtf de- i
veloping this natural resource in '
North Carolina where our natural I
advantages are much greater. Most i
of the game In Pennsylvania is t
grouped in a few counties, while vir
tually all parts of North Carolina i
are well suited for this purpose. ]
“In some sections of Pennsylvania, <
\ye were told, A. me increases so rapid- <
i* some yeats that restrictions are i
J raised temporarily to allow thiuniuf 11

features of the) laws affecting natural t
resources in that state is the amount
of authority given to the governor l
and commissions charged with their j
enforcement.” (
Members of the special North Caro- |
lina committee, which studied the ,
Quaker State game laws, besides Di- (
rector Phillips, included Fred I. Sut- ,

Quebec, Canada, June 16.—(AO—A
rumor that Nungcsser and Coti, 'the
missing French aviators, had been
found on the Shipshaw Itiver, was I
generally discredited today. f ;
The rumor originated in a tele
phone conversation, an employee of a

of the Saguenay River had with his
mother in Quebec City. He is said to
have told her the missing flyers were
there alive and safe. Government of
ficials and lumber companies, however,
declared they could find no verifica
tion.
They said the rumor probably was
based on flares seen in the country
northeast of Saguenay River, which,
if was thought, might have been sent

THREE ARE HURT
AS TRUCK TURNS OVER
Three Unknown Persons Have Nar
row Escape on Concord-Charlotte
men and a negro, were slightly hurt
about 11 o’clock Wednesday night on
the Concord-Charlotte’ highway, .when
the large Reo speed wagon in which
they were riding overturned on the
Rocky River bridge. The fact thnt
the occupants of the truck escaped
serious injury is described as miracut
uoiis J>y passing motorists
The truck was one of the fleet o#'
transports used by the L'iiited Stntesi
Film Transport Corporation, Char
lotte, in collecting and distributing
motion pictures at the various theatres
in this section of North Carolina.
The truck was travelling in the di
rection of Concord, when the mishap
occurred.
Conflicting stories are told as tu
the cause of the accident. One story
quotes the driver as saying that hs
lie approached the. bridge that two
men were sighted, at the side of the
southern end of the bridge, one of
which was believed to have .been hold
ing a pistol in his hand. The driver
thought that he was about to be held
up.
At that instance he swerved the
truck to the right of the highway, the
truck fenders striking the guards of.
the bridge approach, causing the ma-“
chine to almost turn completely around
and overturn in the middle of the
concrete bridge. The truck was bad
ly damaged and contained, several'
valuable films, some of which were
damaged.
Still another story of the accident
describes the driver swerving the car
to the right to avoid striking two
hoys who were on the bridge. None
of the proprietors of local theatres
kenw them.
’ I)r. R. W. Fisher, Concord dentist,
who was returning to Concord, passed
along the bridge about one hour fol
lowing the accident, and brought the
driver to the Concord Hospital for
examination. The man was said not
to have been seriously hurt. The'
other occupants were rushed to Con-;
cord before the driver. They were
not seriously hurt, it was said.
Trucks of the United States Filin
Corporation puss through Concord
daily on their missions of delivering
and collecting pictures.
Traffic on the Concord-Charlotte
highway was blocked for some few.
minutes until the truck could be re
moved to the side of the bridge to;
permit cars to pass.

Better Schools at Less Cost Are
Becoming Reality in State
• T
The Tribune Bureau t
| Sir Walter Hotel I
By J. C. B.VBKKRVILL
I Raleigh, June 16.—Better school* at;
less cost are already becoming n real
ity and the goal of the State depart
ment of public Instruction to provide;
better schools apd better teacher* at:
a decreasing cost to the taxpayers is;
rapid’.y being reached, according to;
the analysis of Hchool expenditures:
presetted in the most recent issue of,
"School Facts", just off the prees to-;
day.
For the total school expenditures
for the year 1925-26 show a decrease
of $1,534,637 over the school expendi
tures for 1024-25 despite the fact that
more children were enrolled—Blß,739,
ns compared with 809,834 the year
previous—and despite the fact that
there were more teachers, better pre
pared and better paid. And the per
capita cost ha* been reduced from
s4l.!k> per pupil to $39.63, or $2.33
cent* less than the preceding year.
Then, how has it been possib e to
bring about this saving, and with no
decrease in the efficiency of the school
system of the state?
The answer is found in the fact
that while current expenses—teach
ers’ salaries and all other expenses in
cidental to the operation of the schools
—have increased steadily from year
to year, and most rapidly from 1019
to 1926, the expenditures for new
building* and new school property
have decreased in the last year. These
expenditures are chassifled as "capi
tal outlay" to, distinguish them front
expenditures for “current expenses.”
The reason for this is obvious.
When the awakening of the public
mind to the need for more adequate
schools and equipment started in 1919
there followed a six-year period of
unusual activity, in which the rate
of new building and expenditure of
money for capital outlay went far
ahead of the increase in expenditure*
for running expenses. And this in
crease became largest in 1923, 1924
and 1925. Now, however, as a re
sult 1 of this intensive building and
expansion, the peak seems to have
been reached in expenditures for cap
ital outlay, with the result that dur
ing the past year 1925-26, much lees
was spent for new buildings and equip
ment than the year previous with a
resultant decrease in the total amount
of school expenditures.

SECOND HAN© CIGAR
New Kagtander Is Now Wondering
Whether Honesty Really Is Best
Policy. ’
Boston, June 16. —Tlic adage that
“honesty is the best policy" doesn't
appeal <tn Fred D. Rankin of o 9
Commonwealth Park, Newton. He
used to belive in it. but after receiv
ing a 7-cent cigar as a reward for
finding $1,263 and returning it to its
owner, he is now beginning to won
der.
While walking in front of the First
National Bank at No. 1 Federal
Street last week. Rankin noticed a
man peering anxiously into the gut
ter. His face was covered with sweat,
and, thinking that something was lost,
Rankin joined in the hunt.
After a moment Rankin picked up
from the mud a package of bills, and
a deposit slip, held together by an
clastic band. He walked toward the
anxious man and asked him if he had
lost anything. When the proper iden
tification of the mony was made ltan
,kin turned it over to hiiu.
I With a murmur of thinks the an
xious searcher reached into his pocket,
produced the 7-cent cigar, proffered
it to Rankin and ran into the bank
Rankin looked at the cigar, noticed
that the end was broken, and tossed it
high iuto the air in the midst of the *
crowd.

cial immediate!/ following the reor
' ganiaation. Every member of the
J church who is eligible for a Senior
, B. Y. P. U. is urged to be present on
! thu occasion.
i
t| Thus it is that despite a steady in
! crease in the current school expenses
j over. the state thnt the total school
expenditures are decreasing, due ;o
the fact that the bulk of the bigger
■; building programs have been com
•; pleted and explains the reduction of
:i the cost of the schools from $33,978,-
063 in 1924-25 to $32,443,426.
ii But there are many other interent
i: ing facts brought out in the presenta
' tion of the various statistic* dealing
with school expenditures. For with
in 25 years, the total expenditures in
ithe state have increased from $1,250,-
00 in 1901 to $32,443,426.
In 1901 there were but 435,183
children enrolled in the public schools
and in 1926 there were 818,739.
The per capita pupil cost of the
schools in 1901 was but $2.87 per
year, while the present per capital
pupil cost is $39.63.
Only 59 per cent, of the children
enrolled attended school in 1901, while
in 1926 more than 74 per cent, of
the children attended school daily.
The average annual salary of a
white teacher in 1901 was $98.77, and
of a colored teacher, $79.85. In 1926
the average salary of a white teaeher
was $853.23 a year, and of a colored
teacher $467.43 annually.
The average length of the school
term in the white schools was but 86
days in 1901, and only 79 days in
the colored schools. At present the
average term in the white school* is
149.1 days and in the colored schools
138.3 dqys.
But despite the tremendous progress
which has been made in the past 25
years, the expenditures of this state
for education are by no mean* ex
cessive and are still far short from
what many other states are expend
ing.
While the per capita cost of the
schools in North Carolina is but $39.63
annually, the average per capita cost
in the United States as a whole is
$74.96. The per capita cost for the
five leading state* in the country in
1923-24 are as follows: Nevada,
$132.23; New York, $125.97; Cali
fornia, $121.55; New Jersey, $118.84;
Wyoming, $112.87. And for the five
leading southern states: Maryland,
$79.94; > West Virginia, $56.21: Ok
lahoma, $49.94 : Louisiana, $49.46;
Missouri, $49.41.
Thus it would seem that the school
cost in North Carolina is excessive.

New Method of .Advertising Revival
Services.
Lexington, June 15. —Evangelist
I Fftaser, Presbyterian Wnister, who
I has been conducting evangelistic
meetings in this city for the past
two month*, introduced an entirely
new method of advertising a re
vival meeting here recently when a
party of enthusiast* toured tthe city
and the village of Erlanger between
5 and 6 o’clock in the morning. The
tour was for the purpose of awaken
ing the city and the party used a
large drum and slide trombone,
which were accompanied by singing.
The procession moved slowly through
the residential sections of the cityi
and the people were awakened by|
the noise of the drum and singing.;
A large placard was displayed an-1
nouneing the evangelistic meetings,
which are held in an airdrome near
the business section of the city.
The novel method of announcing
the revival meetings is said to be the
first of its kind ever used in Ameri
can evangelistic history, and Evange
list Fraser declared ttbat God had
directed him to use the method.
For ipany years the hammer throw
ers used a straight wooden handle andt
the record was 147 feet.

London. June 16.—C/P)—Fear of
arousing Russian nationalistic feeling
to a dangerous point has caused
abandonment of the plan for a con
certed warning by the European pow
ers against further communist propa- i
ganda abroad, and alleged terrorism
by the soviets at home. <
In reconsidering their original de
cision the foreign ministers now in
Geneva for the league of nations coun
cil are said to have concluded that
formal collective action of the nature
contemplated might create the impres
sion in Moscow that a united front 1
was being formed against the soviet
