Culver City, Cal. (A) A bit more
than a day and a night separated
the biplane Angelno from a new
endurance refueling record as it
roared past the 149th hour of con
secutive flight here at 12:29:30 p.
m. Monday.
Culver City, Cal. (JP) With a sec
ond narrow escape from being forc
ed down for lack of fuel safely
passed, L. W. Mendell and R. B.
(Pete) Reinhart piloted their single
motored biplane into the seventh
day of its time journey at 7:29:30
a.m. Monday, determined to better
the endurance record of 174 hours
69 seconds. At that time they had
been In the air 144 consecutive
hours.
The mixun which all but threw
the non-stop refueling record at- j
tempt Into the discard as it neared
triumph, came as a result of a re
duced refueling load at the contact
Sunday night.
Ground officials said that only
106 gallons of gasoline had been
transferred to the plane at that
time, In view of the strenuous run

However, the amount of fuel In

RECLAMATION
PROJECTS WAIT
UPON SURVEY
Portland, Ore Of1) The future de
velopment of reclamation projects
In the west by the Interior depart
ment will depend on the economic
soundness of the Individual projects
proposed. Secretary Wilbur, on an
Inspection trip of Interior depar
ment activities In the west declared
here Monday that the department
was making a complete economic
survey of existing irrigation proj
ects and that where "the econom
ics of the situation are unsound
stern remedial measures will be re
ported to.
"Most reclamation projects de
pend largely on the kind of people
who settle them," Dr. Wilbur said,
"but In a number of cases we have
placed good farmers on reclaimed
land to compete in an open mar
ket with the result that they have
practically starved to death.
"There Is no dirtier trick in the
world than settling a farmer on
land where there is no chance for
him to make a living," he declared
"No land should be reclaimed un
til It is certain that when it be
gins producing it will rake some
thing that land watered by rains
cannot raise."

SEA AFTER TWO
SHIPS COLLIDE
Boston, (IP) Another thrilling ad
venture of the open sea has been
written, in the matter-of-fact phra
seology of marine records, into the
log of the United States coast guard.
It concerns the rescue of 240 pas
sengers from the coastal steamer
Prince George, carried out without
the loss of a single life after a col
lision, fifty miles off Cape Ann ear
ly Sunday.
The accident was described un
officially as unavoidable.
It was reported by some of the
Prince George passengers that the
coast guard patrol boat Agassis was
running at full speed through a
heary fog and tore Into the Prince
George, Boston-bound from Yar
mouth, N. 8. The passenger vessel
was ripped open above and below
the water line while the nose of the
Agassis was flattened.
An 8.O.S. was sent out Immediate
ly by the Prince George and the
work of transferring her passengers
to the Agassis which seemed the
more seaworthy of the two ships,
was begun.
The Agassiz sent out radio calls
for assistance and the cutter Mo
