New York, Nov 20 The record
breaking aerop1ane nigh; OF Ruth
Law. begun yesterday in Chicago,
terminated at Governors Island here
at 9;40 a, M, today after stops at Ior-
nell and ,Binghamton, N. Y. The
final lS2 miles from Binghamton to
this city was covered this morning in
two hours and twenty minutes and
the entire journey, 1882 miles in an
air line, in actual flying time OF nine
hours and one minute.
In making their official announce
ment that the American nonstop
cross-country record was won by
Miss Law, as we'll as the world record
in that classification for women and
the second best world record for men
and women, Aero club officers ex-
pressed surprise at the difficulties
with which she had to contend in
making the flight. A special point
was made OF the fact that she fire.,
quently had to dip her machine in
order to make the gasoline run down
into the carburetor from the tanks,
which are placed too low to feed auto
matically when the supply ebbs past
certain point.
"The airplane used to make this
record-breaking fight" their state
ment read, was the small loop-the-
loop biplane with the propeller in the
rear, which she had built especially
for herself. She wanted this type,
where the seat is in front withoHt
protection from the elements, she
said, because it affords wider range
Of vision while flying. The machine
was equipped with l00-horse power
motor and gasoline tanks. holding
fifty-three gallons. These tanks, being
much lower than the motor, feed the
motor in the normal way until two
thirds of the gas has been consumed,
after which il was necessary for Miss
Law to dip the machine from time
to, time to fill the carburetor."
The statement quoted Miss Law as
saying, that as she approached New
York her gasoline supply was getting
so low that even the feeding by
dipping was getting less effective"
She said she was getting ready to
land in the city streets il necessary.
The distance by which Miss Law
bettered Carlstrom's American rec
ord was given by the club as l38
miles, the distance covered today
from Binghamton to New York at
152 miles, plus about twenty miles
added by zig gags and the time was
given as two hours, fourteen minutes
and thirty-fve seconds.

AN EXCEPTION.

Life insurance is an exception ~
to the rule Don't buy thing until
you need it" and (2) in that its cost
has not increased along with practi-
cally everything else. If one waits
untiLhe actually needs life insurance,
he cannot then get it, Insurance COM
panies insure only sound lives, I'M
paired lives are denied all the stand
ard policies. The percentage which
companies reject is greater than their
death rate percentage.
If you have no life insurance, the
time to make your application is when
you are in good health. While the
cost Of insurance has not advanced,
yet the premium does increase with
each year Of added age. The younger
the age at which a policy is taken,
the smaller the premium.
