is to disSipate the illiteracy prevailing

typical of the reforms brought about. For
1000 years examiners had been en-
ployed by the Emperor. The positions
now are independent of political con-

cantS for governmental positions are
judged according to impartial examina-
tons. The function of censors. SINH

The greatest immediate problem in

PLANE IN AIR

Pilots VIII Fly Until Motor
Falls Apart, They
State

CULVER CITY, Calf, July 10
(P-The record-smashing endur-
ance flight Of L. w. Mendell and
r. 5. Reinhart passed its ninth day
here today. Neither the filters nor
their motor showed any signs OF
quitting.
At II a. m, more than 1875 hours
after they had lifted their plane
from the ground on the morning of
July 2, the pilots continued to guide
the craft in circles ver the airport,
putting added hours between them
and the TIA hour, SO second mark OF
Roy L. Mitchell and Byron K. New
comb of Cleveland, which they
passed yesterday.
Before taking on a full nights
supply Of fuel last night the pilots
dropped a note ~reiterating they
would continue the record smashing
flight until their engine falls apart.
A. z. McManus, chief hacker of the
enterprise, declared then that "a
true endurance test, to determine
how long the motor would rum" was
the object of the continued flight.
The Cleveland Record, made by
Roy L. Mitchell and Byron K. New
comb, was broken by Mendell and
Reinhart at 2:30:29 p. m, yesterday
The fine physical conditions Of the
filters then was evidenced by theil
Joyous antics. Reinhart stood in the
rear cockpit waving jubilantly tt
the cheering crowd below. Mendell
chief pilot, dipped the plane low
over the field, also raising his heac
to display a wide grin. The biplane
then was spiralled high.
