EDDIE STINSON SETS HIGH GOAL FOR SKY RIDERS Veteran Detroit Aviator Reaches 14,000 Hour Mark in Air. B'l Times Special CHICAGO, March I.—Eddie Stinson, barnstormer, war pilot and airplane manufacturer, has finished 14,000 hours in the air. a record, it is claimed, no one else anywhere in the world ever has approached. Fourteen thousand hours represent' 583 1-3 days of twenty-four hours each, or .the equivalent of about nineteen and a half months in the air, if they were all strung together in on® flight, writes J. Ear e Miller, in Popular Mechanics magazine. Fo/ a man still in his early thirties to have spent nearly two years in the air is a. remarkable thing, but more remarkable still is the fact that after fifteen years of flying, it still holds its lure—the one thing he wants to do. The great majority of fliers, after a few years’ experience, retire into something not quite so hazardous, but Eddie Stinson expects to keep on flying as long as he lives. The answer is that he is one of those rare persons, a natural-born flier. That is not to be wondered at, for he comes from the greatest flying family in the United States, and, so fa r as American and British records show,. the world. The flying Stinsons have produced four pilots Katherine, Marjorie, Eddie and Jack—a record believed to be unique. How does it feel to have spent 14.000 hours in the air? “I’ve never given it a thought,” Eddie confessed the other day. “It’s the one thing I want to do. and the only thing I know how to do—build planes and fly them. “I get in six to eight hours every Sunday, usually flying down to Chicago from the factory at Northville, Mich, to spend the day with the boys at the airport, and, while we have a test pilot, I usually manage to get in a bit of time on every plane we build.”

Breaks Truce

" /.\ \

A fight for railroad supremacy in the east has been precipitated by Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio, who has applied directly to the interstate commerce commission for permission to acquire control of fifteen smaller railroads. This action stirred financial circles, because it broke a truce of several years between the “big four” of railroads—the New York Central, the Pennsylvania, the Van Sweringen lines, and the B. & O.

REPORTER LOSES HAT Stolen During Interview With Josephus Daniels. By United Press , JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March L There may have been one of those "Watch Your Hat” signs in the food dispensary, but Jim Massey, Jacksonville reporter, had other things to worry about. He was int "•viewing Josephus Daniels, ex-navy secretary, and had hung his hat on a convenient hook. Someone evidently took a fancy to the topper, for when Massey returned the hat was gone.
