St. Louis. Mo, July 30.?'The Ion?- ; est flight In the history of aviation ended undier virtual compulsion here tonight when the St. Louis Robin j mad? a feTfect "three-print" land-" ine at 7:37 p. m.. C. S. T. Pilots Dale "Red" Jackson and For rest "Oble" O'Brlne, who took off at | 7:17 a* m.. July 13. had been con- j tlnously aloft for 420 hours and 20: minutes, or approximately 174 hours j longer than any other men in hlstorv. The nearest approach to the Rob- I ln's record was that of Loren Men-! dell and Robert Relnhart, who early; this month piloted their "An-?eleno" 246 hours, 43 minutes. 32 seconds, a j a mark extended by the Robin a full week at 2:01 p. m. today. Deafening Greeting. A dripping wet crowd of mroe than zu.uoo spectators?raised?s?deafoning '? 'fcoth the crowd and the plane had heen "trapped for almost an hour be fore the landing by a sudden rain squall. As the plane came to a stop, fren zied admirers of the piloW pulled them out and bore them off the field on their shoulders. Flares were fired and cast an un- ' usual, almost ghastly glow on the plane. v A tractor worked Its way through the hilarious crowd and dragged th' plane to its hangar. Flash-light pictures of Jackson and O'Brlne?both smiling broadly the confident smiles they wore aloft near ly 18 -days ago?were taken. Police finally were able tQ Surround . them and keep them from the crowd. Physically Excellent Both flyers stepped out almost as fresh looking as they were 11 days ago. They were clean shaven, wore fresh white linen shirts, and both carried straw hats in their hands. Their physical condition appeared ex cellent. "Outside of being a little tired, we feel fine." Jackton remarked as po licemen guided the two flyers Into a waiting automobile and took them to a nearby hangar. There they were met by their wives j, and posed for still and motion pic tures. Later they were bundled Into the automobile again and driven down j town to an exclusive hotel, which 1 turned over its double bridal suite for them to rest In. . Landed By R?ni?t. Jackson and O'Brtne grounded th?lr plane at the reo'uest of Curtlss Ribert?on Alfnlnne Company officials sponsor* of thr flight, who pointed out In a let^-r to them today th?v already had far ??exceeded the "test" of 150 hours the/ set out to make. A sobering -aspect was cast on th* f'Vht by the fatal termination of th? 1 endurance nP^ne. Minnesev? j which crashed Monday morning. kill ing both of Its pilots.

Denny, who lives in the eastern section of Person county on a rural route from Vlrgllina. Va.. was in town yesterday and had with him a giant Rattle snake that he killed on his farm Monday.

Denny stated that sev eral of his little children were play ing near one of his tobacco barnS and discovered the snake within a few feet of them, stretched flat on the ground. A farm hoe was used In kill ing the snake. ..which speakes well In favor of Mr. Denny's bravery, as the average man woul<Jhave jJrefered a long range Winchester rifle or rapid firing machine gun with a safe dis- 1 tance* to open fire from. A Rattler al most as large as this one was killed, bv Mr. Denny five years ago near the lame place and he is to be congratu lated upon successfully ending the iife of this, our most dangerous rep tile.

From the dawn -of creation, down through the ages, to the triumphal return of the doughboys, mankind, has been struggling for true democ racy; for brotherhood, for peace. This Is the theme of the epic photo p!av, "The Birth of a Race." To portray this brilliant drama of romance, tragedy and achievement, I from the garden of Eden to the pre sent day. the producers have selected only those great historical eposldes which marked the advancement of the Zi*at Ideal. The flr=t part of this production b?7ins with the wonderfully beauti ful scenes of the Garden of Eden and show the happiness of the first man and woman. - Then discord and violence come In to the world, and mankind Is nunWh ed bv the first great calamity, the Flood. Noah and his family are spared and the world's .history begins anew. j Coming down the ages, we !lnd the ^ Hebrew race In slavery to the Ezpo : tians, and we see a reat leader. Mos 1 es. arise to lead his people to the pro ! mlsed. iand. j Centuries nasi, and Home rules the I world. Again cruelty reigns. The .Christ is sent to warn men against i their sins, to teach them to love on' another. *i preach the brotherhood ; of man. This Man nf the Pcop'e is crucified but his teachings remain to gi'tde the world. But still the war lords rule am thr. dream of brotherhood ts only a dream, until Columbus and his men. .sailini w?H"vard discovered a new continent wh'ch bec-mes the home of demoracy. R?t even in this land of freedom appear oppressors and oppressed. Another great Emancipator. Abra ham Lincoln, appears to free the slaves. In Europe. In 1914. the war lords are in conference. They plan to en slave all Europe. DON T MISS XT. Matinee 3:00 p. m.?Evening Perfor mances 7:30- 0:00 p. m.
