I J I V II 1 I I IX 1 1 f LA LA AVIATOR TELLS OF EXPERIENCE AT 28.000 FEET Captain Schroeder Breaks the World's Altitude Record; : Lack Oxygen Causes Trouble.. .' San Francisco, Ca!., Not. 21. " Capt B. W. Schroeder of the Unit ; er States air service, who made a new record flying to an altitude of 28,000 feet over the state of Ohio ' on Seotrmber 18. which record has been officially confirmed, has writ ; ten an interesting report of his sen sational flight to Major General Kenly, director of military aero nautics. owing is Captain Schroeder's story: r "In order to take an airplane to a higher atitude than any other pilot in the world, I made three at- tempts. The first one took me 24, TXX) feet, the second to 27,000 feet and . the last one to 28.000 feet, but now I feel certain that I can get to 30.000 feet. .' "Th cold, thin air is one's great est adversity. I made a steady climb '-' circularly, passing through clouds at 8,000 feet, 12,000 "feet and 16,000 , feet. At 20,000 feet, while still climbing in large circles, my goggles become frosted, making it very diffi cult for me to read aiy instruments S . Feels Hungry at 25,000 Feet ; ? "When I reached 25,000 feet I no iiced the sun growing very dim. I could hardly hear my motor run. and I felt hungry. The trend of ; my thought was that it must be get - ting late hat evening must be com ing on, but I was still climbing so thought I might as well stick to it little longer for I knew I could reach myceiling pretty soon, then I should go down even though it were dark. I could land all right for I had made night landings many times before, and so I went to talk ing to myself and this I felt was a good sign to begin taking oxygen and I lid, ('l was then about 25,000 feet and 4S loop as I started to inhale the oxygen the sun grew bright again, my motor began to exhaust so loud that it seemed something must be wrong with it. I was no longer hungry and the dav seemed to be a most beautiful one. I felt like sing- ing with sheer joy as I gazed about through the small portion of my-t goggles which had no frost, due to ; a drop of oil which splashed on i them from the motor. Frost Hinders Sight. "It was wonderful to see the very clear blue sky with the clouds thou sands of feet below. The frost on my goggles bothered me very much. When I was about 27,000 feet I had ' to remove my goggles as I was un abe to keep a steady climb. My hands, by this time, were very numb and worried me considerably. The 'cold, raw air made my eyes water and I was compelled to fly with my head well down inside the cockpit. ' kept at it until .my oxygen gave put and at that point I noticed my aneroid indicated vvery nearly 29,000 feet. The thermometer shpwed 32 degrees, below zero, centigrade, and the -.' revolutions per minute had v dropped from 1,600 to 1,560. This is considered very good, and I could not understand why I was only 29,- 000 feet, after climbing for so long time, I remember that the hori zon, seemed to be very much out of place, but I felt that I was flying cor rectly and that I was right and the horizon was wrong. Runs Out of Gasoline. ; ; "About thfs time the motor quit, 1 was out of gasoline, so. I descend ed iff a large spiral. When I descend ed to about 20,000 feet, I began to feel much better and realized that the lack of oxygen had affected me. I passed down through the clouds 16,000 feet and as I remember, it was snowing from these clouds upon the next layer some 4,000 feet below. I am not positive of this as I may h&yt been affected by the lack of oxygen. I noticed as I descended , that the air seemed to bervery thick and stuffy, but very nice and warm, i !'I landed, O. K. 200 miles from where si statted and broke the tip of my propeller, which was standing vertical, when I rode into a depres sion in the ground. I did not nose or do any other damage to the plane myself and I flew back to Dayton , with a new propeller." Huns Change Names - of Streets in Towns , , of Northern France With the British-American Forces in Trance, Nov. 22. That Germany expected to occupy for a long time, and perhaps permanently, the north ern portion of France, is shown by the fact that the Hun military "au thorities changed the names of all the,; important streets in the larger, towns which fell into their hands. There is scarcely a village where a distinctly , German . designation was not given to a road or street. Such names as "Kaiser Wilhelm ' Strasse" israarck, Strasse." "Von Hindenburg Strasse," took the places of the French names. When the American troops operating with the British entered these towns they; ' took particular delight in destroy ing these signs and replacing ,the original French markings. The Germans told the French in habitants of these towns that, in ' future France would 4e divided into two parts North France, which would belong to Germany, and South France, which the French would be permitted to keep. They put the inhabitants under severe dis cipline anoTrequired them to stand at attention and talute whenever one of their officers addressed them or passed them on the street -v When the German officers entered any of the homes, the whole family was required to stand at attention - until they left Breaches of this order were, severely punished. The fcoches had the population thorough ly cowed and permitted them only .the most ordinary privileges.1 When the Americans vand British ame in, the people wept with joy at their deliverance from their p traaorfr , Drug Department Specials Take Advantaf of The On Lai ( Toilet Water Assorted odors; values op to 11 (or.... 40c SO Sachet Powders Assorted odor, at S4c SOc Fancy Perfume in boxes. ,39c 75 Pocket Manicure Sota 2Sc 75 Compact Toilet Kit 39c S2.ZS oa.
