Our living quarters during the trip
were confined to a space about feet
square. That was living room, dining
room, bedroom, etc, during our more

A dual control had been installed in
the back part of the ship for use during
refueling, but this was abandoned when
We discovered the ship was much easier
to handle with the regular control stick
in front. That space after the control
was removed made a comfortable cor

Regular periods of rest were taken

all thoughts of sleep then.
Delicious meals were sent us twice
daily. We had hot meals every night
and during the day enjoyed hot coffee

WET NEWSPAPERS HIT
BY BISHOP CANNON
Declares They Are Partly Respon-
sible for Disrespect Shown
Prohibition Laws.

Responsibility for much Of the dis
respect shown toward the prohibition
laws was laid partly at the doors OF
wet newspapers" by Bishop James
Cannon, jr., of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, in an address yesterday
before the Citizens Service Association
at Foundry M. e. Church.
Bishop Cannon scored "the leading
metropolitan dailies, especially in the
cities with large foreign-born popula-
tion," for making "a determined war
| fare to break down the morale of sup
porters of prohibition"
| But the President has not yielded to
this doctrine of defeatism SO widely adj
vocated by the metropolitan press" he
said.
Rev. Dr. William S. Abernethy. presi-
dent of the Citizens Service Associa-
ton. introduced Bishop Cannon, who
was followed by two other advocates
of law enforcement, United States At
torney Leo A. Rover and Representative
Stalker of New York, co-author of the
Jones-Stalker liquor law.
With passage of the Jones' Stalker
bill, the New York Representative said,
he was convinced the laws were suf-
! ficiently strong to enforce prohibition
effectively. Every election has been
more dry than the previous one, he de-
clared.
Mr.. Rover termed the local law en-
| forcement outlook as promising and
cheerful" and pledged his cooperation
IN prosecuting Offenders.

"nuss RANGER AFTER RECORD.
Plane Up More Than 40 Hours II
Endurance Attempt.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 81 R).-Better
than 40 hours of continuous flying had
been marked up by the single-motored
monoplane Miss Ranger as she scared
over Minneapolis early today in an
attempt to break the record of the Fort
Worth.
Notes dropped by the pilots. Gene
Shank and owen Haugland, indicated
that all was well, allaying fears that
Sundays heavy rain and the resultant
fog might have impaired the efficiency
of the motor.
The endurance flyers took on fuel
and food twice Sunday, both operations
being performed without a hitch. They
arrived above the Robbinsdale Airport
at lao PM, Sunday and after flying
above Minneapolis for several hours
returned to the airport for the first
refueling contact.
The ship took Off from the Wichita,
Kans., field shortly before 9 am, Satur-
day. She spent the day and Saturday
| night cruising about the vicinity and
departed for Minneapolis at tbs am,
Sunday. The supply ship, manned by
o. H. Harrah and Verne Nelson, fol-
lowed short time later.
Haugland and Shank plan to fly over
Minneapolis for two or three days and
then proceed to Ranger, Tex, after
which the ship is named. If she con-
tinues to function satisfactorily, they
then plan to return to Wichita, where
the fight Is to be finished.

some apprehensions though. AS We be-
gan to approach various world records
for sustained flight we became more
determined than ever to stick 1t out II
humanity possible.
Our rebuilt monoplane has bettered
every world record for endurance flying.
We are proud of its performance and of
our part in setting up a recod, which
We hope will aid in promoting public
confidence in air travel and the safety
and durability of airplanes.
No more endurance flying for us
though.
At least, not for some time.

His oxygen tube was repaired, and
he tried again and succeeded. His pur-
pose was to test the effects of rarifled
air and cold on his motor and fuel.
He used Junkers monoplane of the
Bremen type.
Neunhofer credited the safety appa-
ratus on his plane with saving him
when he lost consciousness on his first
altitude attempt.

Plans of a group of members oI the New Britain high school foot ball squad to have tag day to col lect funds for the purchase of gold footballs for the victorious team were defeated today when it was learned from Principal Louis P. Slade that he would not give his approval
 Although the plan had not pro- gressed to the point where it was given the unanimous approval of the squad or where Principal Slade's ap- proVal was asked, Mr. SIade said he would not sanction the plan if he were approached. He believed that this stand woul1 also be taken by the school committee.
 Another plan, that of approa ching merchants for support. would moi meet with Mr. Siade's approval, he said. The members of the squad are anxious to receive gold footballs in token of their winning the tri- angular championship. The team will play as an independent unit against the alumni eleven Saturday and half the proceeds will be used for the gold football fund.
