Washington, April 30.—
We’’ ended its last flight
when it was landed here today
preparatory to the Spirit of St.
Louis being enshrined in the
Smithsonian Institution as the
gift of Col. Charles A. Lind-
bergh.
Colonel Lindbergh flew here
from St. Louis. He said he had
ideal flying condition with a
tail wind all the way.
“The Spirit of St. Louis has
made last flight, the
colonel announced on landing
at Bolling Field.
The plane will be turned
over to the Smithsonian Insti-
tution as soon as arrangements
can be completed. . The ma-
chine has covered a total of
more than 40,000 miles and is
in condition to fly at least that
far again, Lindbergh believes.
The parade will form on West
Lee street and move to the
square, thence south on Stone-
wall street to the fair grounds,
where the judges will view the
parade just before it disbands.
The parade will be held imme-
diately after noon Tuesday, but
several towns are planning pa-
rades of their own delegations
Monday. Dallas, Terrell,
Shreveport, Bryan and Port
Arthur will parade when they
arrive.
The exhibit building has
been completely filled and an
annex secured'for the late
comers. The building will be
ready for the placing and ar-
ranging of exhibits
morning.
The tent to be used for the
main convention hall will be in
the air Saturday morning and
will be completely seated be-
fore the time for the memorial
service to the late Eugene
Blount Sunday evening, May
6. Following the memorial
service the sacred opera,
“Esther,” will be rendered by
a company of Dallas artists.
Street decorations are being
arranged and will be entirely
ready Saturday before the con-
vention opens. Interiors of
stores, buildings and exhibit
halls have been finished. The
town of Greenville will be
decorated more elaborately
than ever before in its history,
according to W. A. Grimes,
chairman of the decoration
committee.
Marion, O., May 1.—Nearly
five years of vigil at the tomb
of President and Mrs. Warren
G. Harding was at an end
Tuesday for the guard detach-
ment of the tenth United States
infantry.
Never for a moment had the
temporary Harding tomb in
the Marion cemetery and later
the large memorial shrine been
left unguarded until Tuesday,
when members of the detach-
ment were ordered to report to
various army posts.
Since the port was establish-
ed August 9, 1923, it is esti-
mated that more than 1,000,-

Waco, Tex-, May 1.—Pat M.
Neff favors a delegation from
Texas to the national Demo-
cratic convention uninstructed
as to the nominee. His views
as to this are made known in n
statement by him Tuesday, as .
follows:
*'l am now, as I was four
years ago. in favor of Texas se-
lecting forty of her very best
men and women and instruct
them as to the issues, laving
them free as to the individual
for whom they should vote as
the nominee of the party- ®
foolish to hogtie a delegation to
vote for any one individual, ■
first, last and all the time, as
was done four years ago. Con-
ditions change in a convention
and the delegates should have
freedom enough to change
with changing conditions.’’
Mr Neff plans to attend both
the State and national Demo-
cratic conventions, tmt not in
the capacity of a delegate. In
tris connection ho expressed
1 .mself as follows:
“While it is my intention to
attend both the state ami the
national Democratic conven-
tions, I am not thinking for a
moment of attending either as
a delegate. The Democracy ed
Texas has heretofore so honor-
ed me that it would take the
rest of my life to pay the debt
of gratitude I owe. There are
thousands of Democrats in the
State who have never been offi-
cially recognized, and it seems
to me that some of ‘.hose here-
tofore unrecognized should be
named as delegates to these
respective conventions.”

And every dollar that you save
Set it to work, make it yonr slave.”
