LOUIS, Mo., July 28 (U.R)— Lack of funds may end the attempt of Forest O'Brine and Dale Jackson to set a -new record for sustained airplane flight, it was indicated today as the flyers started their second week aloft. The flight, being made on a subscription taken in St. Louis, will come to a quick ending unless an additional .$9,500 is obtained. O’Brine said in a note dropped to the ground crew yesterday. “If all remains well we will land August 21 but it will be before if the people of St. Louis don’t get some more money in.

"I actually own a fully licensed public house near Blackburn,” said Bishop Rawstorne in discussing problems then before the licensing commission. “A public house, run as it should be run, can be as clean a business as any other," the bishop told a London newspaper. "It was not only a moral impulse that led me to purchasing these premises, on which I have a freehold. I did It like anyone else making an investment. "I pay frequent visits to assure myself it is conducted to my wishes.” ,—o — Get the Habit —Trade at Home.
