 Much in Record Flights

Dayton, O., Jan. 80 N}-Rapid strides mado in tho lest few years in building airplanes to ascend to great heights have done away with many of the thrills and hardships of q flicr taking an airplanc six or eight miles above the carth's sur- face.
 This was cXempliticd yesterday in Lieutenant J. A. Macready's attempt to set new worlds altitude record at McCook field here.
 In plane designed and built at thc field Macrcady ascended to q height ot S5, 300 feet. His goal was 4O,000 feet, or approximately eight miles above the earth, but the super charger on the motor of his CNO-S ship failed to function as it should,
 Three or four years ago an avia- tor who ventured 30,000 or S5,00O feet up in the air usually came down in a semi-exhausted condition, suf. ftring intensely from the extreme cold.
 Macrcady, however. seemingly stepped out of his plane yesterday like he had just made q practice cir cult over the field. He posed for a few pictures and then related his experiences in mnttcr-of-fact man. her.
