AVIATOR RODGERS WILL END
LONG FLIGHT TOMORROW

Imperial Junction. Cal, Nov. 4.-Un-
less engine trouble or other unforeseen
difficulty develops, Cal p Rodgers,
trans-continental aviator, virtually will
end his long flight from the Atlantic
to the Pacific coast Sunday afternoon
when he arrives in Pasadena
When Rodgers reached Imperial
Junction, he had flown 4,034 miles in
47O3 minutes In other words the ac-
tua time he has put in from Sleeps
head Bay, n Y, where he started Sep
tember II, to Imperial Junction in
three days, six hours and 23 minutes
which is much faster than the time of
the fastest express trains. Rodgers
arrived here at 1927 a. m, Friday, 1S4
miles from the finish. Engine trouble
brought him down, but not until he had
established what is believed to be
new worlds record in aviation.
Rodgers, in his flight, has broken all
long distance records and has already
made a distance record which likely
will stand for some time. When he
arrived at Marshall, Mo-, October 10,
he beat the record of Harry N Atwood,
who flew from st. Louis to New York.
Atwood's mileage for that trip was
/ ,265 miles. Rodgers, when he landed
at Stovall, Ariz., last night, was reck-
oned to have covered 3,704 miles, near
Ily three times the mileage covered by
Atwood and when he arrives at Los
Angeles he will have covered, accord
ling to the same reckoning, 4,121 miles.
This will give him an average of more
than eighty miles day since the start.
