Louls, Mo., July 22—()—The “Missouri Robin,” second of two sis- ter endurance planes to go aloft at Lambert-St. Louis field in an attempt to set a new record for sustained flight, landed at 7:51 a. m. today after having been in the 117 hours 20 minutes. A leaky oil line which they were unable to repair forced the fly- ers, Joe Hammer and W. Gentry Shelton, to bring the plane to earth. The St. Louis Robin, first of the planes to take the air, continued its flight, entering its tenth day at 7:17 a. and passing its 218th hour at 9:17 a. m. (central standard time). ‘The pilots, Dale (Red) Jackson and Forest O'Brine, reported that the motor still was functioning smoothly. The “St. Louis Robin” was within 29 hours of setting a new world’s en- durance record. Land Safely Hammer, air mail pilot, and Shel- ton, St. Louis flying enthusiast, ex- pressed keen disappointment when they landed at Lambert-St. Louis field. They said the leak in the oil line, which developed this morning, threw oil over the windows of the cabin, making it :mpossible for them to see. They landed safely under ex- treme difficulty. Although they went up 99 hours and 14 minutes behind their rival Hammer and Shelton had hoped to surpass any record the St. Louls Robin might set. Both flights were sponsored by the Curtiss-Robert- son Airplane Manufacturing company to test the motors. A crowd, estimated by officials at 50,000 larger than the one which greeted Lindbergh on his return from Paris, watched the planes yesterday. ‘Former | raiiroad’s crack’ | Mayor ’ the municipal opera, promises.

D., July 22.—(4)—Mem- bership in the North Dakota depart- ment of the American Legion this year reached its highest total sinc 1922, John K. Kennelly, Mandan, told members of the organization at the opening of their three-day state con- vention today.- With the increase has come @ growth of activity, Commander Ken- nelly said, pointing to the work of the service department which recovered “many thousands of dollars for dis- abled soldiers and their dependents~ as an outstanding achievement. As the examples of other projects successfully sponsored by the depart- ment, Kennelly called attention to the junior baseball program, completion of tha United States veterans hospital at , and the North Dakota Le- gion band. Express belief that the year 1928- 29 will go down in Legion history as one of the most successful years of the North Dakota department, he said, “an increased membership en- ables us to be of still more service to our disabled comrades, which has al- ways been the first concern of the North Dakota American Legion. “Many thousands of dollars were recovered for our disabled comrades and their dependents from the gov- ernment through the efforts of our service department during the year,” he added, urging a continuation of (Continued on page nine.)
