fear are not at all uniform with
all people. An object or condition
may be tolerated or exen enjoyed
by some persons, which would
cause utmost discomfort and annoy

Probably. however, the motive OF
Powers vas simple enough. lie

really strange thing is that action
in accordance with the dictates Of
common sense should be SO rare as

Gen: Mitchell Flies. at

Mt. Clemens MlCh.. OcC. lS.-
Brig. Gen. William Mitchell. as
sistant chief of the United States
army air service. today set a new
official worlds speed. record when
he few over one kilometer course
lat sSelfridge fiel dat an average
speed of :224.05 miles an hour IN
four heats. The test WAS timed by
representatives OF the federation
aeroque internationale, this making
the record Official.
General Mitchell drove the army
Curtiss plane which last week aEon
the Pulitzer speed trophy and IN
(which Lieut.. r. j. Vaughan later
drove unofficially at speed of
1855 miles an hour. While Lieu
tenant taughan's speed at that
time was faster than that of .o-
da: and was, under United States
army regulations. no representa-
tives of the Federation Aeronau-
tcue internationale were present,
la fact that prevented his mark
standing as an official worlds
speed record.
The former world S record. recog-
nizcd by the federation. was made
in France last year by Sadi lie

an average OF 295 miles an hour.

tests with the wind he averaged
243.e4 and 241.s3 miles an hour
respectively. Against the wind his
average was 20i.29 and o0S.15
miles an hour.
Commenting on his great speed,
General Mitchell said it might now
be considered IAN ordinary feat
for, an aviator in one of the mod
ern high power planes to attain a
rate far in excess Of 200 miles an
hour. Only mechanics, develop

met was split by the wind during
.his:i Eslsh through the air. This
showed, he said, that the aviaiors
I.fieadgear must be re-designed be-
fore the high speed could be main
stained with safety. An ineIosed
cockpit might also aid in solving
the problem. he said.
The force Of the wind at the
speed attained today, General
Mitchell added. probably would be
