The American round-the-world flier* will make their historic flight across the American continent through Chi cago and Omaha over the regular air mall route, if Increasing efforts of Omaha business and civic organiza tions succeed. Service clubs of the city Joined Sat urday with the Chamber of Commerce and Ak-Sar-Ben in the effort to bring the famous filers through Omaha, and already are planning a big celebration in honor of the birdmen and in recog nition of their triumph in navigating the air completely around the world. The celebration will probably be In charge of the united noonday clubs, with the co-operation of the Chamber, Ak-Sar-Ben and army and postal of ficlals here. Steps Already Taken. Service clubs which have already taken steps to assure the presence of the filers here are the Rotary, Lions and Continental. Members or officers of Concord, Triangle, Exchange, Op timist and Cosmopolitan clubs have also expressed a desire to get into the fight and to take part in re ceiving the fliers. Montagu Tancock, manager of the Chamber of Commerce bureau of publicity, has been investigating the possibility of bringing the fliers through Omaha, and Is prepared to aid noonday service clubs In their concerted effort to place Omaha on the cross-continent itinerary. ‘.'We are also planning an effort to have the British round-the-world aviator. Stuart McLaren, come through Omaha,” said Mr. Tancock. Telegram Sent. Through the bureau of publicity the following telegram was sent Saturday to Col. Paul Henderson, second assistant postmaster general of the United States: ■JJ’e have urged General Patrick to route round-the-world fliers through Omaha. We feel that cities which have pioneered in furthering the establishment of air mall services are entitled to this recognition, especially as the post office eervloe has fields, emergency fields, supplies, equipment for giv ing the best service. Omaha and Chamber of Com merce will greatly appreciate any further efforts you can put forth to gain army approval of this ar rangement. Would point out that Omaha In addition to postoffice fly ing service, has complete army field.” Egge Co-Operates. Randall K. Brown, chairman of the federal relations committee of the chamber, sent telegrams Saturday to Congressman Sears and Senator Howell of Omaha at Washington re questing that they ask Postmaster General New to urge Secretary of War Weeks to route the filers over the air mall course, through Chicago and Omaha.

Keeney Arrives in Omaha ■ 3v$op Tftfetlck T Msetfity ] New Bishop Has Liberal Views Favors Lifting Amusement Ban; to Preach First Omaha Sermon Sunday. Bishop F. T. Keeney arrived in Omaha Saturday morning and imme diately took up his new duties in the Omaha area of the Methodist Episco pal church. Bishop Keeney is of medium height, inclined to stoutness. He is soft of speech, somewhat reserved, but in clined to smile' in quite a friendly fashion frequently. The new bishop was assigned to the Omaha area by the recent general conference in Springfield, Mass. Sat lit day was, he says, the first time he ever got off a train In Omaha. Favors Lifting Han. •'I am confident, however, that from my standpoint the assignment here will be a most pleasant one,” said Bishop Keeney. "I have never heard anything but good about the Omaha area.” Asked concerning his opinion on the lifting of the ban on dancing, the theater and card playing at the re cent conference In Springfield, Bishop Keeney said: “I am entirely In accord with the conference on its action. I believe that it was a mistake to catalogue sins, for what Is dangerous In one country may not be In another one. The document cataloguing sins per tained largely to the United States, yet It was applied to the world. “The conference mad# a strong statement against card playing, the theater and dancing, but left any ac tion against them up to the Individ ual. It Is no longer possible to put people on trial for Indulging In them, while under the old legislation It was possible to actually bring an offender to trial, although It waa never done. Quotes John Wesley. •‘I think rules of conduct may best be based on the statement of John Wesley: ‘Abstain from forms of amusement that can't be taken In the name of the Lord Jesus . Bishop Keeney was made a bishop four years ago In Des Moines, la-, and on his own request he was sent to China, where he has been for four years. Climatic conditions there led to his return, as he was In ths south of China, In a latitude the same as Key West, and suffered considerably from the heat. Mrs. Keeney Is In the east, but will Join the bishop here in the fall, he said. They have one daughter, who Is a missionary In a Methodist women's college at Foo chow, China. The bishop will preach his first sermon In Omaha Sunday morning in First Methodict church. He will preach Sunday evening at Dietz Methodist church. BRITISH HEAR U. S.
