GIRLS FIGHT RAIN,
FLYING 1O6 HOURS
Hope to Beat ReCord>of Cues
ton Mark, Says Note
of RefueIerS.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, January 9.-Endur-
ance flying has proved no lark for
Bobbie Trout and Edna May Cooper.
Nevertheless the girls and their plane,
the Lady Rolph, named in honor OF
the first lady Of California, showed no
signs of weakening today as they passed
the 106-hour mark at 1890 am.
The perseverance Of the flyers, who
by a rainstorm, apparently was reward
ed, for at midnight the rain ceased and
the clouds egan to disperse.
Second Storm Since Start.
The storm was the second since they
took of at 2:20 pm. Sunday. They
rode out the first Tuesday night.
The weather and series Of mishaps
however, caused Bobbie and Edna to
lower their sights. When they began
the venture they had them trained on
the 645-hour flight record set by Dale
jackson and Forest DIVINE at ST.
Louis. Last night, while the storm was
at its height, they dropped a note say
ing, I'VE want to beat the Question
Mark
$50 Hours Two Years Ago.
The Question Mark, a tri-motored
Army plane, manned by five OF the
Armys best, set the first refueling fight
record of $50 hours here two years ago.
The promise Of clear skies and a warm
sun today may revive the old ambition.
A rip in the fuselage of the Lady
Rolph was patched last night. The rip
was Just one of the series Of mishaps
to the girls. The others included foul
ing of the tail controls by a rope and
small parachute. Trouble was avert
ed through cutting the material away
in those cases.
Tonight the Lady Rolph will have
tripled the 42-hour woman'S record it
exceeded Tuesday.
