FLEW ACROSS THE COUNTRY

The longest flight ever made by an
aviator was that completed by CAL
braith P. Rodgers, who landed on the
Pacific coast after trip by the air
route across the country. Rodgers
left the Sheepshead Bay race track,
New York, and when he reached Pas
adena, Cal, he had travelled a distance
of 4,231 miles, being 40 days in COM
pleting the journey. He met with q
number of mishaps on the way and
his machine practically had to be re-
built several times on the long jour-
ney across the continent. His actual
flying time was three days and ten
hours. He travelled at an average
rate of 81 miles an hour while his
machine was in the air. The daring
aviator had many nerve-racking expe-
riences on his journey.
Rodgers Is a newcomer to the field
Of aviation. He became pupil of the
Wright brothers at Dayton, Ohio,
only last July. His first exhibitions
of consequence were made during the
meet held in Chicago during Septemb.
He is thirty-two years of age and CO

The hottest political campaign In
the history Of Philadelphia came to
an end in the election of Rudolph

The campaign really began months
previous to the election, when Will

Earle, who had the support of United
States Senator Penrose. This some
what split the Republican ranks. for
the fight over the nomination left

and many soldiers were shot, the am
