WEBB TO BE AN AIDE

The good balloon Topeka H. will
make an attempt to break the Amerf-
can long distance ffving record in
Kansas City tn narsday The Topeka
gas bag will leave the aviation field
in that city about o'clock Thursday
evening and viii sail majestically to
the northeast-if the prevailing winds
come as expected by the aeronauts.
The American record for continuous
Aying is LIS miles. This was made
the America H. With good condi-
tions and with former experiences to
aid him. Frank NJ. Jacobs, the Topck Il
pilot, expects to break this record. He
is so positive that the Topeka H. will
land in Canada over the Great Lakes,
that he is making every preparation
for the northern landing.
w. w. Webb, a well known Topekan,
who made his first flight in a free bal
loon from Topeka few weeks ago,
will act as aide to Pilot Jacobs Webb
has made a number of ascensions in
captive balloons. He is qualifying FOR
a pilots license in the Western Aero
association of Topeka and his interes.
and experience will make him a val
liable assistant to Pilot Jacobs in his
effort to break the records in Ameri-
can atmosphere
Conditions Are Excellent
Conditions at this time of the year
are excellent for long distance flights
aeronauts delight. The winds of this
season are steady. No thunder storms
threaten the descent of the balloonistS
The sun is not too hot to hinder the
filing of the gas bags at the start
Everything is for the interests of the
flyer.
The record was made in the fall of
the year. And if Pilot Jacobs and the
Western Aero association carry out
their threats the record will be broken
in the same season. The Topeka II"
met with mishap in the national elimi-
naticn race in Kansas City in July,
or the pilot and aide are positive they
would have won the race. With the
game bag, the same pilot and under
better conditions, the Topekans have
hopes of erasing the marks on the
books of the Aero Club of America
In the international race in Kansas
City Thursday, France will enter three
balloons, Germany three and Switzer-
land one. America will have the three
winners of the elimination race in July.
Both Topeka and Kansas City-who
lost out in the national race-will en-
ter their balloons in an effort to break
they are uccessful-either of the bal
loons-they will be entered on the
Lahm cup-a trophy given tc the hold
ers of the American record
In Topeka October u will be held
the intercity races between Topeka,
st. Louis, Kansas City and Salt Lake
City with a possible entry from Den
yer. The winner Of this race will be
given trophy-to be won finally after
races have been held in Kansas City
and ST. Louis.
