worlds record. Boehm remained aloft
twenty-four hours and twelve minutes,
during which he covered 1850 miles.
His machine was driven by six-cylin-
der 100 0-horsepo%er Mercedes engine.
The nearest approach to this record
was made on April 25, this year, by
Lieutenant Commander H. B. Grow, of
the United States Navy, in q twin
engined F5-L flying boat off Hampton
Roads. Commander Grow remained in
the ar for 20 hours and 20 minutes,
covering q total distance of 1,250
miles. Throughout the flight he en-
countered winds with an average We
locity of twenty-five miles an hour
which materially affected the distance
covered His machine was equipped
with two twelve-c cylinder Liberty
motors of 400 horsepower each.

N. F., to Horta, in the Azores, with the
NC-3, while snot braking any records
for distance covered, actually made two
worlds records for speed over the dis
tance of 1900 nautical miles, as we'll
as the worlds record for flight over
ocean. His average speed was 1O3 8
land miles an hour This mark prob
ably was exceeded by Hawker.
Commander John Fl. Tower on the
NC-3 may have set new records. which
cannot be determined until he makes
his official report.
on April 10, this year, Captain Z. I.
White, of the United States Army

to New York, covering TAI air miles
In SIX hours and fifty minutes. This was
the first time the fight between the
two cities had been made without a

Another remarkable United States
Army nonstop fight was made bv
Major Reuben +. Fleet on March 8

this remarkable flight over hostile ter.

The Sopwith is equipped with one

The Sopwith carries a crew of two
men, the seapanes a crew of six. The
former is land machine solely, un-

body offered a smaller surface.
The whole people are wild with
enthusiasm over the flight, and the
prediction is made on all sides that
the other British airmen now pre-
pairing at Newfoundland success
fully will achieve the nonstop flight
across the Atlantic before another
month has passed.
The greatest admiration is felt
at the remarkable endurance of both
men and their machine which, it is
pointed out with pride, is all-British
throughout, both in design and con-
struction.

LONDON, May 19.-Even though
Hawker's whereabouts was still Of
cially unknown tonight, it was gen.
orally believed that, dead or alive,
the daring Australian had flown the
Atlantic and had set new worlds
record for both distance and speed.
If he reached a point within forty
miles Of his goal, he covered more
than 1900 nautical miles, equiva-
lent to 2,100 land miles, distance
never before approached in nonstop
airplane flights.

There is likewise some rueful COM
ment by the press upon the organized
naval aid given the American airmen,
which is contrasted with the apparent
indifference of the British Air Ministry
to the plans of the British aviators
If the ministry had bestirred itself,
says one commentator, the British
might now be celebrating a triumph in
stead of congratulating the Americans
At the Air Ministry the action of
"The Daily Mail" in Offering a prize
for the transocean fight was given off,
cial vindication, it being pointed out
that the policy of the ministry through
out had been to foster the enterprise
of the aviation companies.
"Had no prize been otfered,' said
one official, "the Air Ministry would
have undertaken the flight months ago.
We have airplanes, seaplanes and men
capable of making the trip, but at the
request of the aeronautical trade the
ministry stood aside to give the com
mercial firms a free hand. 1t is quite
possible that within a few weeks any
loss of prestige will have been more
than regained."

On The Wing
By JAMES H. HARD

Winnipeg, Man, Canada. July ss-(spe- cial)-We left Minneapolis at 6:l5 Sun day afternon and in a luxurious train on the Soo line sped northwest and then north. We had an observation car at tached to this sumptuous train furnished by the Soo line. which is the nickname of the St. Paul, Minneapolis and Sault Ste Marie, and they evidently laid them selves out in their efforts to please.
 Northward through the wheat fields and ccrnfields and timothy and clover fields we sped past the source of the Missis- sippi. up through the land of the lakes, realizing that we were in the north for the sunset was at $50 and the afterglow continued for an hour after that so that the signs alongside the tracks could be read at $50 D. m., which is rather late in the evening for that kind of amusement.
 The sun sets up here just about 50 minutes later than it does at Jackson, Tenn, and the further north one goes the later the sun is seen above the hori- zon, until the land of the midnight sun is reached. The long twilights in this section are in strong contrast to the short ones al Tampa, Fla, and further south, when the evening" are short indeed, the dark dropping down soon after the sun goes to bed. We have a very interesting party, people from over 20 states, Illinois sending the largest number. There are not many from the southern states: but they are well, if not largely represented by Mir Richard son Of Indianola. Miss: MT. Albright
