= The worlds record for airplane
speed was shattered by no less than
seven flyers in the Pulitzer. cup con-
est at Mt. Clemmens, Mich, last
Saturday. Lieutenant Maughan won by
travelling over 160 mile course at the
rate of 2OG miles an, hour. The pre-
vious worlds record in a similar race
was that Of Kirsch when he made q
France during last September. Lieut..
J.. j. Maitland, who ran second to
Maughan, made part of his flight at
the rate of 216 miles an hour, which is
faster than any one has ever before
flown jim n race. Lieutenant Fl. j.
Brow, also participating in this con-
test, made the 16O miles at the rate
of 1892 miles On hour. When he
brought his ship to earth, Lieutenant
Maughan was so exhausted that he
was compelled to lean against his ship
for several minutes before he revived.
He explained that he was lost four
times in the haze, and was more or
less stunned at each of sixteen turns,
coming to again in the straight-a-
ways. His feet went to sleep in the
flight because of the speed that tended
to stop circulation. The terrific speed
told on Lieutenant Maitland. After
the lap in which he made 2161 miles
an hour, his air pressure, feeding
gasoline to his motor broke down and
he was forced to use an emergency
hand pump. Throughout the last four
laps, with his plane hurling through
the air at a speed in excess of 200
miles an hour, Maitland was obliged
to pump away first with one hand and
then with the other. When he finished
behind Maughan he was so exhausted
that it was necessary to take him to
his quarters before he could be revived.

reading TO his men an order from di-

with duds, the order concluded:
'Duds should be treated with the
greatest respect"
