.IFIC COAST HIGH FLYING
RECORD is SMASHED

SAN FRANCISCO, April 9O-The
former altitude record of 1890 feet,
held by Olaf ("Swede') M~eyerhoffer,
made in San Diego in 1917 with an
old type Curtiss plane equipped with
an 80 H. p, motor, has been shatter-
ed. An altitude of q, 800 feet was
made by Walter r. Varney flying a
Lincoln-Standard airplane equipped
with a 23S-horsepower Hispano-Suiza
motor. The new Pacific Coast altitude
record was made over the City of San
Frnr~'
Narney took off" at lV.v4 o'clock
attaining an altitude of 10000 feet on
his first circle of the field. The fur
Their series OF circles took him out of
sight of the spectators on the ground.
His attempted altitude of $4,000 feet
failed on account of the intense cold
and the rarity of the air. At $4,000
feet he began to feel the cold and the
thermometer on the ship registered
six degrees below zero at the maxi
mum height attained on this flight.
Varney's face and wen his hands al
though encased in fur gloves were
blue with cold upon landing.
While Varney reported he had diff
Guilty breathing at MS great dltlluue
he had no engine difficulty whatever.
Varney used Red Crown gasoline and
Zerolene lubricating oil. Under the
normal conditions of the first stages
of his flight he climbed at the rate of
1000 feet a minute, but at an altitude
of $4,000 feet the air was so thin"
that at times the plane dropped so to
rs feet before catching hold and the
speed was cut to 600 feet a minute.
Varney did not attempt to break the
record set by Major Schroeder who,
flying a lie Pere, attained a height
of $4,000 feet. Major Schroeder on
this great climb was equipped with
oxygen tanks and apparatus and cleo
trio heated clothes. Varney plans
other flights over San Francisco and
expects to establish a e altitude
record for the Pacific Coast.
MeyerhOffer, Chief Test Pilot for
the Varney forces, also made a test
flight and attained a height of $500
feet which is 300 feet better than the
rerord he established three years ago.

The world realizes that the United

not be aggressive nor extravagant
particularly at this time. The situ-
alton demands that not a penny of
our naval appropriation should be
wasted. Our surface and submarine
fleets should be rounded out. Our

money available should be devoted to
