CONTINUOUS FLYING RECORD IS
BROKEN BY EDWARD STINSON WHO
REMAINED IN AIR OVER 26 HOURS
Stunt Surpasses Record of
Frenchmen, Who Remained
Up for Over 24 Hours.
M1NEOI.A, X. Y., Pec. 30. (A. P. .
A new world record for continuous
flying has been established by Edward
.Stinson, pilot of an all metal mono
plane and Mechanician Lloyd Rertr
aud, when they descended today after
being in the air 26 hours, 18 minutes
and 35 seconds. They commenced
their flight yesterday at 8:58 a. m., at
the Roosevelt field In a fmowstorm.
They surpassed the record of 2 4
hours, 19 minutes and 7 seconds made
in Franco June 1920 by Lui'ien llous
soutrut and Jean Bernard.
Three fingers of Slinson's left hand
and one finger of his right hand were
frozen. This occurred when he had
removed his glove to make an emvr
gcniy connection between the oil tank
and an auxiliary tank at 2 o'clo.'k
this morning. The pump refused to
work. That accident almost cost Stin
son and Hertaud their new record.
Ingenuity won for them. They punch
ed a hole In the main oil tank nnd
used n rubber tube to syphon the fuel
from the auxiliary to the main tank.
The fuel fed the motor that way for
he last nine hours of their flight. Tlv
aviators neither slept nor ate during
the 26 hour grind. They drank the
contents of one bottle of coffee.

jMILlTARY FUNERALS CALLt
j FOR USE OF TRUCK THAT
'FLAG MAY bY 'CARRIED
Why is it that when military
funerals are hold the casket is
never placed in a regulation
hearse but carried on a truck?
That question has been asked
by ninny Pendletonlans ,us mili
tary services for men who died
overseas are held ll'To.
The reason for that manner
of transporting the casket Is
that the funeral is military, and
In a military funeral, the casket
Is draped with the American
flag. It Is not proper lor the
colors to be encased in any cov-
ering except Its own encasement,
ent
or in other words, If a casket j
were to be put Inside of a !
hearse the flag would have to bo
removed from the casket, ac- '
cording. to army regulations. Ir.
regular military funerals, the
casket is ordinarily conveyed on
an nrtillery caisson. '
