LAMBERT, ST. LOUIS FIELD,
Aug. IA u.NS0.-With the refuel.
ing endurance flying champion
ship again in their possession.
Cale ("Red'D Jackson and Forest
O'Brine were circling the field
here today in their monoplane
Greater st. Louis" in an effort
to set a mark that will assure
them of the title for some time
to come.
The endurance flying cham
pions completed 579 hours in the
air at 10:11 a. m Central Stand
ard Time) today.
After breaking the old record
of $50 hours, Al minutes and 80
seconds yesterday, the fliers sent
down word that they hoped to
establish a duration standard that
would remain in the books much
longer than the mark of 420
hours, broken within a year by
the Hunter brothers at Chicago.
1000 Hours is Goal
The tentative goal set by these
perpetual room-mates of the air
is 1000 hours, considerably more
than double their previous re-
cord, but they plan to remain
aloft longer if the condition of
the plane and their own physical
conditions make it appear safe.
Plane and engine appeared to
be functioning perfectly today,
and the pilots were in good
health and spirits. Occasional
troubles with oil lines have been
their only, difficulty, and these
seemed to- have been overcome.
Field FeteS In Rain
A celebration and fireworks
demonstration was held here last
night to mark the establish
r1ent of the new record. At. .9:52
a. m. yesterday morning, when
the Hunter brothers mark was
passed. an impromptu parade was
staged on the field in spite of a
heavy rainStorm.
At 9:52 a. m. Central Standard
Time) today. the Hunters mark
will have been surpassed by IL
hours.

Shamrock in :Shipshape y
In Week, Says Skipper

the 30 grim-visaged men, who
brought her across the ocean, it
wouldn't matter a. bit to them
if she remained on the ways for
a month.
Was Hard Trip
They were sea-weary, storm
tossed and weather-beaten lot
when the Shamrock v finally
staggered into this port late yes
terday. Her hull was painted
emerald green before she left
Gosport, England, 26 ! days, ago.
But yesterday, it was greenish
white, due to the layers of salt
than had washed ceaselessly over
it for. nearly a month.
There were moments, during
the epic voyage when Capt. Ned
Heard, Shamroek's professional
skipper, did not know whether
her slim hull could Withstand the
terrific battering. Out of the 26
days that she was battling her
way westward she had only IL
hours kindly weather.
Battered, but triumphant. Sham
rock rose out of the waters of the
Thames today and rode high on
the ways of a Criton shipyard.
She is a beautiful thing and is
unquestionably the most impreS-
sive challenger Sir Thomas ever
brought to this country.

Never Had Engine Wide Open
On Way East; Greatly Aided
BY Tail Wind Most of Trip
(Pictures on Page II

NEW YORK, Aug. IA 0N.S0.
Not satisfied with establishing a
new transcontinental flight rec
ord of IL hours, 25 minutes and
8 seconds, Capt. Frank M. Hawks
today announced he would soon
attempt to cross the country in
''real fast time" The new record
is the fastest time ever made by
man for such q distance.
Hawks, who arrived here last
evening after his record-breaking
dash from Los Angeles, which
lowered the record Of Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh by more
than two hours and 20 minutes
said, after the national air races
when better atmospheric condi-
tions and more helpful winds
may be possible, he would make
a new assault on his own record.
He said: ,....... ....,..
"At no time during the flight
yesterday was my engine opened
wide. Flying conditions were al
most perfect. / first had the
moon to fly by on leaving Los
Angeles and then the sun. /
struck q little rain near st.
Louis but soon came into car
weather again.
$50 Miles an Hour
"I made the fastest time in
my trip between Albuquerque
and wichita. A tail wind Of "a
miles an hour followed me out
Of Albuquerque and stayed with
me for 800 miles or more. i
moved along at ESQ miles an
hour and could have increased
that speed"
His acknowledgements Traveller
plane never dropped below a
speed of 200 miles an hour, he
said.
Hawks left Los Angeles at
5:16:27 q. m, Eastern standard
time, and arrived here at 5;41:3O
.. m. He halted for fuel at AL
buquerque, Wichita and Indiana
polls, stopping about Is minutes
each time. At times he flew at
more than 10000 feet.
AS soon as his, plane is over
hauled he will fly to Chicago to
participate in the national air
races the latter part of this
month.
His Third Record II
Captain Hawks began his per
sistent attacks on the transconti
mental records in 1929. Twice be-
fore he held the west-to-east
record, losing it last Easter Sun
day when Colonel Lindbergh
made his record flight with Mrs.
Lindbergh as his passenger. R
Only a week ago he took Nff
from New York and flew west in
IA hours, so minutes and 43 Sec
onds, beating the record for the
westward flight made by Capt.
Roscoe Turner by more than
four hours.
Except at the start, the record
maker flew entirely by daylight.
He crossed the San Bernardino
mountains by moonlight and met
the sun at Flagstaff. He slid
into Albuquerque at 8:43 o'clock,
Eastern stardard time. having
covered the 665 first miles of his
hop at an average speed of 207
miles an hour. He left Albu-
querque at o'clock. arriving at
Wichita at 1923 o'clock. The
average speed for this leg was 241
miles an hour.
Passing st. Louis winds again
aided him, so that he arrived in
Indianapolis in slightly more
than three hours.
AS he sped on to New York the
sun had not yet purpled Man
hattan's towers.

HOOVER COMMENDS
CHRISTMAS SEALS
Anti tuberculosis Campaign
of National Association
to Begin Tomorrow.

President Hoover today. in a signed
message to the Nation, commended the
campaign for the sale of Christmas
seals of the National Tuberculosis AS
ISOLATION as providing funds for one of
the most valuable of all services to
mankind IN helping to prevent and de-
stroy disease which threatens millions
of homes and weakens millions of the
children and youth of the Nation"
The Christmas seal sale, which will
gather in funds to fight tuberculosis over
the country, will begin tomorrow and
last until Christmas. DR.. George M.
Kober, for many years president Of the
local association, will dispatch thou
sands Of letters, each containing one or
more sheets of 100 seals each sent on
approval and stamped return en-
velope. The headquarters of the Wash
ington tuberculosis Association is main
tanned at 1922 Eleventh street and from
this center of activity the letters will
go forth with a short summary of the
work of the organization, which is to
be financed by sale of the seals.

SAYS SPIRITUALITY
CAN AID BUSINESS
Bishop Freeman Cites Moral
Unity Rather Than Laws
for Depression Relief.

Restoration of confidence in business
and prevention of depression cannot be
accomplished by legislative enactments
declared Right Rev. James e. Freeman
Bishop OF Washington, in his special
Thanksgiving day sermon this morning
at washington Cathedral. The sermon
was broadcast locally over WMAL and
over Nationwide hook-up of the Co
lumbia BroadcaSting System, and be-
fore distinguished gathering.
Spiritual Unity Needed.
Bishop Freeman said the security of
state Is conditioned by the moral and
spiritual attitude of its citizens, and
that II was folly to believe that ere
ent ills.
In making plea for religious con-
Victlons that are more evident and OPP
erative in common, everyday life,
Bishop Freeman asserted that neglect
OF religious practices. bigotry and deifi-
cation OF machinery were responsible
for many of the complex problems of
modern life.
"A spirit Of unity in diversity that
looks with generous pride. upon a COM
mon brotherhood, in which all men
share according to their aptitudes and
traditions" Bishop Freeman said, lis
fundamental to the enrichment of the
Nations spiritual life.
Blessings Often Overlooked.
Religion, no matter what its name
or however venerable its institutions.
Is of little worth unless It promotes in
its professed adherents a better under
standing Of those obligations that re-
late man to his fellows In sympathy and
love.
Our situation as people at this time
may give occasion to those who view
life specifically to regard this day as
lacking those elements that contribute
to the spirit of thankfulness. 1t is sin
gularly Characteristic of human nature
to pass unacknowledged and unrecord-
ed the days of plenty, peace and pros
pertty. We are prone to take these
blessings as matters Of course. On the
other hand, 1t Is also characteristic of
US to regard with complaining voices
days that are Swallowed by misfortune,
the interruption of our common pur-
suits and activities or the suspension of
our normal ways of business and do
mestic life.

This years seals are made up in vest
pocket size booklets, containing 100 OF
200 seals each and separated by oiled
pepper after the fashion of booklets of
postage stamps.
The goal of this years campaign is
$4,000, Mrs. Joseph Sanders, chairman
of the enlarged Christmas Seal Sale
Committee of the tuberculosis Associa-
ton, announced today.
This means" said Mrs. Sanders,
"that in order to carry on our program
of health services in Washington dur
ing $780, as planned, we must sell at
least 100000 of the penny seals. To
do this we must enlist the hearty sup
port of more people and more generous
use Of the Christmas seals than ever
before. I feel confident that we can do
this for the need of the work is more
urgent than ever"
I'VE ask that every one able to do
so will buy and use as many of the
seals as possible and then say good
word for them to others All remit
tances are to be sent to the headquar-
tiers of the association in the Social
Service House, at 1922 Eleventh street,
checks made payable to the Washing
ton tuberculosis Association"
DR.. Kober's letter stated:
Every dollar sent in payment for
these seals will help to bring care and
cure to diSease-6tricken lives and to
prevent illness. Special attention will
continue to be given to the discovery
and arrest of tuberculosis in early child
hood. The money so spent will return
to bless the giver and to safeguard those
near and dear"

In by pastors of several other churches

Declaring the United States is deeper
than heredity, DR.. MONTGOMERY who
also is chaplain of the House of Repre-
sentatives, contended that the worth of

zenship.
Cannot Make Character.
I'VE cannot Judge the character Of
our Nation by looking at the man." DR..
Montgomery declared. ''The Nation
gets its highest meaning from the char.
acter Of its citizenship. Take God Al
mighty out OF the Mayfiower and Won
nave mighty poor substitute, for our
Nation Is deeper than heredity."

In order to relieve the unemployment

issued Tuesday by the Board of Bishops
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
after a meeting here.
1T is grave indictment of our
present economic system that multi
tudes of men and women are forced to
walk the streets jobless, seeking en-
ployment and finding none," the state
ment said.
unless a way Is found by which the
hours of labor may be lesSened and the
days reduced to correspond to the out
put Of machine production. labor-saving
devices may prove a curse rather than
blessing to those who are dependent
upon their daily toll for their living.
Further. we cannot escape the con-
viction that there is something unjust
in a system that allows an industry to
absorb the surplus earnings of its en-
ployes in prosperous periods and to cast
them aside for society to care for when
their labors are no longer profitable.
Those who receive the BENEFITS Of
labor in good times should bear ir
share Of labor's maintenance In n
times"
