PARIS. December 20.--The mental
picture of the stork on the way to
pay visit to his home caused Adjt
Bonnet, an aviator. to travel faster
than any bird or man, and shatter the
world speed record.
Bonnet for months had been en-
gagged in eliminating from his mono
plane tho air resistance and other
speed impedimenta and in tuning up
his $50 0horsepower motors at the Bas
Istres Airdomc, near Marsellles, for a
speed test.
The adjutant. already father of two
children, had been expecting another
addition to the family the latter part
Of this month. ON the evening of
Wednesday,. December 10. he received
telegram from his wife at Thion-
VILE, saying the stork was hovering &
about and might land any minute.
Bonnet went to the aviation field the
following morning and surprised the
officials officers and mechanics by
saying he would make his fight i'm
mediately.
Taking off at 10 o'clock. in perfect
flying weather. Adjt Bonnet smashed
the world record of 429.02J kiIo-
meters t266.6S milesl an hour, former
~ held by Lieut.. a. J. Williams OF the
United States Navy, setting the new
mark at an average of 44S.17o kilo-
meters tabout 27S miles) an hour,
travelling four times over a three
kilometer course.
Had Bonnet headed northeast, in
stead of keeping to the measured
course. he would have been with his
wife in less than two hours. Instead,
the fastest man in the world took a
train homeward that evening and the
journey necessitated 20 hours.
