Tha re-nrtrum nn.i rnmera men and ths crowd which averaged 16,000 during all of the hot Sabbath, wiped perspiring brows and sighed for the altitude of an endurance nyer.

Hot weather is still weather and the ideal flying conditions which mnnv of the exnerts believe has had major part in making possible the remarkablbc feat of the St. Louis Robin, continued to prevail. hi heavens became overcast towarrd dusk last night and some of the more tipftsimislic endurance fticcht bugs forecast a violent climax to the flight which would end with the plane be ing fclown out of the skies by a ter. riiic Florm or even a lornaao.

Bystanders dragged the fireman from the girl's escort and took tJonroy into tne station for treatment, they said. "Come in here with your friend and fight it out with the fireman yourself," one gallant was said to have commanded the young woman. Rose was suspended and held for hearing today. The berry pickers case occurred, police said, when Myrtle Feckert, 15, and Myrtle Schultz, 16, agreed to "go for a ride" with four young men who were driving a car said by officers to have been stolen. Five miles from Carnegie the car atopped.

"Out of gas," was. the laconic comment of the driver, the girlf said when they had been rescued. Then the Tilths were alleged to nave "got rough." Struggling, the girla cried for help and attracted the attention of several persons nearby picking berries, and also a farmer. When the berry pickers and the farmer rushed to the rescue, the youths fled, but not before tha number of their car had been taken. Police today were attempting to identify the young men.

Meanwhile, funeral services were to be held today for Thomas Winkle- boss. 26. who was shot to death by his friend after Winkleboss engaged in an ara-ument with the friend wife, Mrs. Rose Uhlir. William Uhlir, alleged to have wielded the gun on Winkleboss, told ponce tne latter struck Mrs.

To take care of persons who do not have a cottage the association had erected on -the -grounds four large dormitories, the four buildings containing 236 rooms, which can afford sleeping accomodations for 630 persons. Some persons desired to have the real camp -life, and this year lecated throughout the grounda there were erected ninety-three 12 by 12 canvaa tents, which also were rented to campers. While many of the persons in the cottages and tenta do their own cook ing, the camp association runs a cafeteria dining hall, serving breakfast, dinner and supper each day. Some idea of the system can be gotten by knowing that on last Sun day at the noon meal, 1,100 persons were fed in fifty-five minutes' time. The dining hall can seat 500 at one time.

A large permanent tabernacle. seating 2,000 persons, was used to hold the great religious meetings. A large tent was also erected on the grounds in which the young people and the children held their meetings. As in all well regulated boroughs there was a Jail and officers, and laws were made for the people to ob serve, the camp grounds contained a small jail and special officers were deputized to see that no rowdyism was permitted on the grounds. No smoking, drinking or use of profane language waa allowed on the grounds, and it was a real sight on Sunday to sea a crowd of 10,000 persons and not one of them smoking.

On only two occasions has the )ail had to be pressed into service, which is a remarkable record when the number of years is considered and the great crowds that have attended these camp meetings. The last arrest was for smoking. Any person not noticing the signs posted throughout the grounds giving the rules and regulations and found breaking one of its laws was first told of his mistake and if he continued action was taken against him. A full program of religious ser vices was furnished each day. The rising bell is rang each morning at 8 o'clock.

At 6:30 the firat service was held, an early morning prayer service. Breakfast waa served at 7:30 a. m. At 9 o'clock a young people's meeting waa held In the large tent. At 10 o'clock a Bible study period waa held in the tabernacle.

At 10:15 each morning a Bible School waa conduct ed in the tent for the children. At 11 o'clock a missionary address was given in the tabernacle, uinner was served at noon. The first service in the afternoon was a prayer and praise service at 2:15. At 8 p. m.

there was another Bible study period. At 4 o'clock each day the children! meeting waa conducted in the tent. Supper was served at 6:30. A mla- sionary address opened the evening service at 7 o'clock, followed by the song service and an evangelistic message at 8 o'clock. On the final Sunday a missionary offering was taken from over tha entire eastern district.

Last year ths offering amounted to over $150,000. The eastern district Includes Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, District of Columbia and part of New York. On the final Sunday a baptismal service was also held tn the Susquehanna river. For the convention the fineat relig ious speakers were secured. Among the workers this year were Rev.
