oRviLLE WRIGHT IS IN THE AIR
AN HOUR AND TWENTY
MINUTES.
FLIES SEVENTY MILES

LIsH CHANNEL AND RETURN
ED WITHOUT STOPPING.

Washington. : Establishing new
record for aviation in America, Orviile
Wright, in the Wright aeroplane late
Tuesday at Fort Myer, made spec.
tacular flight of one hour, 20 minutes
and As seconds duration. The longest
previous flight was "A minutes made
by Mr.. Wright last fall.
Several thousand people were given
an exhibition which included the most
daring feats of avivation yet accom-
plished. The machine Travelled about
seventy miles, it was estimated by
Wilbur Wright, and at one time during
the flight the height attained be-
tween 26O and 2S0 feet. exceeding the
highest point ever reached by heav-
ier than air machine on this continent.
The most wonderful part Of the flight
was the execution of three complete
figure eights," which required care
full maneuvering in directing the ma
chine.
The machine was released from the
starting point at $40 o'clock. After
travelling several hundred feet only
about five feet from the ground, the
aeroplane rose gradually to IS feet be-
fore making the first turn. After pass
the machine up on each turn to about
$50 feet, which was maintained until
toward the end of the flight. When
making a turn on the sixth round of
the field the aeroplane began fitting
perceptibly. but Mr.. Wright brought it
down on an even keel again before
reaching the third turn.
After he had been in the air half
an hour. making complete round of
the field each time. Mr.. Wright ma
neuvred the machine through several
feet in diameter.
After circling the field fifty.four
times, the machine started cutting the
Figure eight" much to the delight OF
the crowd. The aviator started to
make a showing in regard to height.
The aeroplane rose on each lap until
1t was between 260 and 2S0 feet in
the air. At this altitude the machine
flew half dozen rounds and then
gradually descended. On the last lap
before the landing Mr.. Wright ap-
preached within twenty feet of the
earth and made a successful and easy
landing after completing eighty-three
rounds OF the field.
Mr.. Wright met every requirement
set forth by the government except
that of carrying one passenger and
making the five-mile straightaway
runs Both OF these requirements
probably could have been met, but it
Is the brothers intention to get their
machine in perfect condition before at
tempting the official flights.
The Wrights declared the machine
is working much better, but that they
want to have several more trials be-
fore the official test. Wilbur Wright,
replying to comment that the flight

width OF the English Channel. which
Herbert Latham unsuccessfully at
tempted to cross Monday, said it
would have been possible for his

No person of the Caucasian race can marry a person of the Mongolian race in Arizona Neither can a Cau casian marry one having negro or In- dian blood. As Koreans are MongOl- ians of undoubted type.
