Aug. 25. Another sensational ex

aviation week today when Paulham,
the plucky French aviator, brjke the
world's record in a sensational flight
of two hours, 53 minutes and :! 1-1
seconds, during 20 minutes of which
he was contending with a heavy rain
and wind storm. The previoiu r !
ord was made by Wilbur Wright at
Lemans December 31, in two hiur.i,
20 minutes and 23 1-5 seconds.
Paulham's new record for the dis
tance Is 83 milei. When In fiiiallv
descended It was because his fuel
was exhausted. He said the maihl.to
and self cooling motor had al.o-j.l up
perfectly and he could have ontliu-
