the theory that the average mans
liberty ended where the other fell

was no such thing as isolation In

ANOTHER RECORD MADE
BY KEYPORT PLANE

KEYPORT, Nov. 27.-The all
metal hull flying boat owned by the
Aeromarine Company made a most
successful flight on Saturday after
noon, carrying 3445 pounds, includ-
ing passengers, crew, fuel and bal
last. This is the greatest number of
pounds ever carried by a Liberty
motor and carried by the only me-
tai hull flying boat ever constructed
in the United States.
This is the same flying boat in
which General Fitzpatrick and Sec
retary of the Navy DENLY made a
fight recently, the flight on Satur-
day having been made under the
supervision of the chief engineer of
the Aeromarine company, Paul G..
Zimmerman, who was also a pas
senger and who made observations.
If but two passengers had made
the flight and the balance of the
3445 pounds were converted into
fuel the flying boat could be used
successfully for the fight around the
world.
The all metal hull boat was de-
signed by and constructed under the
supervision of Chief Engineer Paul
G.. Zimmerman.
