WOMAN MAKES RECORD
FLIGHT IN AN AEROPLANE
Ruth Law BetterS CarlStrom'S
Record From Chicago to
New York
CBy Associated Press. }

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-The record
breaking airplane flight of Ruth Law.
begun yesterday in Chicago. terminated
at Governors Island here at $40 a. m.
today, after stops at Hornell and Bling
hamton, n. Y. The final 1872 miles from
Binghamton to this city was covered
this morning in 2 hours and 20 minutes,
and the entire journey, S32 miles in an
air line, in the actual flying time of
hours and 1 minute.
Miss Law was greeted by Major Cen
eral and Mrs. Leonard Wood, who con-
graduated her on her achievement. She
was considerably chilled and was taken
TO the house of an officer to recuperate.
She said she had to fly much lower
that she wanted to. on account of the
haze Those who examined her machine
remarked that it's structure was such as
to expose her to the air more than in
most modern airplanes. The pilots seat
is placed on a projection in front of the
machine so that the aviatriX gets the
full force of the wind.
The machine used by Victor Carl
strom, previous holder of the American
nonstop record established in a flight
November from Chicago to New York,
was of the fusillage type, in the cockpit
of which he was snugly protected from
the wind.
Miss Law bettered Garlstrom's record
by about 100 miles. making the $50 miles
in an air line from Chicago to Hornell,
n. Y, where she arrived yesterday with
out stopping.

CRITICS OF PANAMA CANAL
ARE SCORED BY COCKTAILS
Canal Zone Governor Declares
Slides viii Be Overcome
L for All Time

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20--Sharp Ian
guage is employed by Major General
George w Cocktails. governor OF the
Panama canal zone, in replying 40 pub
lshed criti cisms of the big waterway
which he charges have seriously affected
It's commercial rating. In his annual
ieport, made public by the war depart
ment, the governor declares that the
earth movements which have frequently
interrupted traffic through the canal
finally will be overcome for all time.
General Goethals goes into lengthy
review of the geological problems which
have been encountered, of the steps
taken to overcome such obstacles and
the measure OF success attained. So far
as the Culebra cut is concerned, he said,
''the worst is over, the intervals between
movements are becoming greater and the
quantities of material less"
The report replies to the published
statements of Prof. Benjamin Leroy
Miller, of Lehigh university, and former
Senator Thomas Kearns, of Utah. The
charges made in each case, General
Cocktails brands as erroneous, unwsr
ranted and unfair" 1t is shown in the
report that during a part of the fiscal
year 1916 during which the canal was
opened, All vessels passed from the
Atlantic to the Pacific and $50 in the
ether direction. Of all these, only nine
ty-one were engaged in the American
coastwise trade.
The total cargo tonnage handled was
S.14O,046 as against 4.969,792 the pre-
ceding year, although the waterway was
i'll operation for only five months last
year. Commenting upon the reduction
in coastwise traffic shown, however. the
report says 1t was due principally to
the scarcity of ships for foreign trade
which drew American coasting vessels
into that, service.
Difficulties of the present system of
levying tolls are recited and General
Goethals again recommends that legisla-
ton be sought making the earning ca
pacity OF a ship the basis upon which
charges should be computed. He points
out that s2,399.S3O were collected in tolls
during 1916. Had the so-called Panama
canal rules applied In measuring the
ships, ne adds, this sum would have been
increased by approximately 100000
