PROUD OF THEIR RECORD.
German Aviation Circles Boast of Re
cent Exploits in Air.

BERLIN. July 30.-German aviation cir
cles are expressing pride in the part play
ed by their countrymen in record making
in the last few months. Als the records
were made in German aeroplanes equip
ped with German motors. The duration
record has been bettered four times this
year by Germans. The first was Bruno
LANCER. who set the mark at fourteen
hours and seven minutes on February 8.
This mark was raised to sixteen hours
and twenty-nine minutes on April % by
the Frenchman Poullet, but on June p
Basserman bettered this figure. four days
later Landman raised it once more. and
then came Boehm with the first twenty
four-hour flight ever made.
Boehm still had gasoline enough for
two hours flying and was comparatively
fresh when he landed. But for an ap-
preaching storm he would have stayed up
another half hour.

Call policeman" gasped one. while
others sought places of safety, being
more willing to be counted among
those who ran than among the fallen.

police station and Policeman Much re-
sponded. He found Butler on the
street going away from the saloon,

and making no particular effort to
escape arrest.

REDUCES THE EXPENSE
Of SOCIAL FUNCTIONS
Superintendent Of Naval Academy
Gives Midshipmen Lesson
in Economy.

tertainrnents and receptions given at
the Naval Academy has quietly been
brought about by Capt. William f. Full

dent II is along economic lines and
toward democratic simplicity. Capt
Fullam has not discouraged social in
tercourse at the academy, but has given
the officers to understand that expen-
sive dinners and receptions are not
necessary elements of entertainments.
No Formal Order Issued.
No order was issued to that effect.
but Capt. Fullam called the officers to-
gether and plainly told some of them,
in fact, most of them, that they were
spending too much money on festivi-
ties. He made it plain that it was not
his intention to discourage social af-
fairs; on the contrary, he believed that
officers of the academy and their fam
lilies should entertain each other fire.
quently. but they should not do It on
the millionaire scale.
These entertainments, he holds, should
be conducted on a plan that 1t would not
make it hardship for the poorest officer
to give dinners and receptions to the
officers and families at the academy
and outside guests.
Follow Superintendent's Example.
While Capt Gibbons was superintend-
ent he and Mrs. Gibbons entertained
royalty, sparing no expense. The Off
GERS and their wives at the academy
were not to be outdone by the superin-
tendent, and soon the entertainments at
the academy became very expensive af-
fairs. That was carried to such an ex-
tent that Capt. Fullam has felt called on
to restrain the disposition to excess.
