HAIZLIP SETS CROSS-NATION SPEED RECORD 10 Hours 19 Minutes New Time for Coast-to-Coast Dash Over U. S. TURNER SMASHES MARK Beats Jimmy Doolittle’s Time, Although He Comes In Second. J> y lii ill and I'lf A* NEW YORK. Aug 30.—Two fliers who .pent a record-breaking day Monday in the fastest coast-to-coast flights ever made, planned to show the fans at the national air races in Cleveland today some more of their record smashing speed. They left for Cleveland early this afternoon. Jimmie Haizlip, St. Louis, and Jtoscoe Turner, Hollywood, both shattered the flying record set last year by Jimmy Doolittle. Haizlip's elapsed time from Los Angeles to New York was 10 hours, 19 minutes and 48 seconds —56 minutes and 12 seconds under Doolittle's time. After Haizlip landed here, Turner brought his red and yellow plane roaring out of the west, thirty-nine minutes behind the new record-holder in elapsed time, but * till ahead of Doolittle's old mark of 11 hours and 16 minutes. Both Fly Tiny Planes Both Haizlip and Turner were flying in the *15,000 Bendix trophy race from Los Angeles to Cleveland. Haizlip's earnings, won in an average man’s working day, were $6,700 in first money to Cleveland and $2,500 additional for breaking Doolittle’s record. Turner and Haizlip both piloted tiny, bullet-like planes designed by Jimmie Wrdell of Paterson. La., and Harry Williams of New Orleans, and powered by Wasp Junior motors. Wrdell, also an entrant in the Brndix race, won second place with faster elapsed time for the Los An-geles-Cleveland distance than Turner. He also flew one of his own planes. Haizlip took off at Los Angeles at 6;45 a. m. (eastern standar dtime). Within five minutes he was up 8.000 feet. As the rising sun gleaned over the Grand Canyon, his white ants black stream-lined plane shot along at 270 miles an hour. At noon, he passed over the Missouri river after a brief refueling stop at Goodland, Kan. At Lansing, 111., he took on 130 gallons of gas in five minutes. Then he streaked over Cleveland in midafternoon. He lifted his plane over the Alleghanies, after flashing over the finish line at Cleveland, and, an hour before dusk, he sighted the Allantic. Haizlip traveled so fast he overshot Floyd Bennett field. He banked, and landed at 100 miles an hour at 5:04:48 p. m. (astern standard time>. Oil-spattered, his face black and dirty with grime and dust, the diminutive 4-foot-11-inch flier crawled out of his cockpit, grinning. "Am I the first one in?” he asked, as a crowd of about 1.000 persons cheered.

Marguerite Clark Is There Marguerite Clark Williams, movip star of fifteen years ago and wife of the co-designer of his plane, presented Haizlip with a bouquet. Then there was a roar overhead and Turner shot down onto the field. Haizlip hurried out to greet him. Turner, a large man. laughed heartily at the sight of the greasecovered Haizlip. ‘ You were the one man I wanted to beat," he exclaimed. Arm-in-arm. they went for a cup of coffee. Out in Cleveland Jimmy Doolittle received with a grin the new-s that his mark had been broken. He sent Haizlip a telegram of congratulations. commenting, “Haizlip js one of the best pilots and one of niv closest buddies." “It won't be many years fore planes will be crossing the country in seven hours or less." Doolittle predicted. And don't forget that. I’m not through flying yet." SPENDS OLD GOLD PIECE 50-Cent Coin, Minted in 1860, Finally Gets Around. MORTROSE.

Sheaffer asserted. and mentioned perjury as he ! assailed her.

Bn Science Service WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. The sun will go out. The moon slowly w'ill blot out the sun. The rush of a gigantic shadow across the earth will turn day into night. The sun’s corona halo will flash suddenly. Stars will shine in the daytime. The air w'ill have a sudden chill. The greatest astronomical show on earth is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, when there will be an eclipse of the sun. The best seats can be found along a hundred milewide band passing through Canada and New England.

A total eclipse of the sun is probably the most impressive spectacle in nature's repertoire. To an observer fortunate enough to be in the path of totality there will be presented a celestial drama that never will be forgotten. Any one who ever has seen an eclipse will recognize that no description can do it justice, but let us try to give some ide~ of what is in store Wednesday at a point in the center of the path, such as Con- i way, N. H.; Kennebunkport, Me.; Derby, Vt., or Sorel, Quebec. The sun will rise in the morning, and ascend the sky until it reaches the meridian at noon, just as if nothing extraordinary were about to happen. But at about 1:15 p. m„ central standard time, the sun will begin to take on a strange aspect. No one. of course, ever should look (Turn to Page Seven)
