RUTH LAW BREAKS RECORDS IN
LONG DISTANCE FLY
New York, Nov. 20,-Ruth Law
took her place as premier woman
aviator of world today, when she
equalled American record for cross
country flying.
She landed at Governors Island at
9:38 a. m. having flown $40 miles
from Chicago in an old style exhibi-
ton aeroplane.
Miss Laws record stands as the
second longest nonstop fight that
has ever been made. Her flight of
500 miles is exceeded only by that of
Sub-Leutenant march, of the
French army, who flew from Nancy
to CheIm, Poland, in June Of this
year. The distance of this flight was
S12.5 miles.
She made but two stops, the first
at HoTnelI, N. Y, and the second at
Binghamton, where she spent the
night. She was forced to aight be-
cause she had run out of gasoline.
Numb with cold, Miss Law was
helped from her aerOpIane at Gov
ernOr's Island by Maj Gen. Wood,
Henry Woodhouse and Augustus
Post, the latter two governors of the
Aero Club of America, The plUcky
little woman was Immediately hus-
tied into an automobile and rushed
to an officers house to thaw out.
The last leg of the fiight-27O
miles - was made through a dense
fog. Miss Law said the fog was so
heavy that she was forced to fly very
low, barely topping the hills along
the Hudson.

The record Of plump and smiling
Miss Law is all the more wonderful
because she had never before made
a fight over 25 miles long and be-
cause she was using a biplane five
years old, which Glenn Curtis, the
maker, did not think capable of do
ing more than 100 miles at a stretcr.
The girl did much better than Vic
tor Carlstrom, who in a carefully
'groomeds moderp, two-motor, double
propeller, modern army plane at
tempted to fly from Chicago to New
York few weeks ago. He made 452
miles without stop and 652 miles in
the first day.
