Trip Cross Country—Towns
Report Rim Flying Steadily
Toward Goal
By Associated Press.
Pettisville, O., Aug. 16.—Continuing
hio record-breaking flight en route
fioni St. Louis to New York and Bos
ton, Harry N. Atwood this morning
traveled from Elkhart, Ind., to Pet
tisville, O.. where he descended for
luncheon and to take gasoline. The
distance is 97 miles and Atwood
made it in two hours and six min
utes. He traveled at a speed of a
mile a minute at times.
Atwood did not appear fatigued
after his exciting trip when he reach
ed Pettisville. He said.
My machine is in perfect condi
tion ana the air currents were fa
vorable. I had a delightful trip
from Elkhart.
“I am away ahead of my schedule
and am confident I v/ill finish my
flight before the ten days limit pre
scribed in the requirements of the
contract.
‘‘I expect to leave here at 3:30 p.
m. and arrive in Sandusky, O , before
6 o’clock this afternoon.”
Atwood had planned to stop at Tole
do, Ohio, at 2 o’clock this afternoon,
but he now declares that Sandusky
will be his next stop.
Elkha't, Ind.. Aug. 16.—Resuming
his flight eastward, Harry N. Atwood,
the Boston aviator, left here at 8; (Mi
a. m. today headed for Toledo.
Atwood fixed his stopping place at
Toledo, saying he probably would
cover the 133 miles from here to that
city by 2 p. m., an. hour later, .aoiild
start for Sandusky, O., 58 miles furth
er eastward, v.-here he will be pre
pared to scop overnight
Before starting Atwood said he
w^s not certain that he would extend
this cross-country flight as far as
•Boston, but that he might end it at
Nevv”^ York.
The trip from St. Louis to New
York, he said, would be sufBcient re
cord for cross-coimtry flight. He said
that upon reaching New York, he
mi.2,ht pack up his pipiane and ship
it on to Boston by tram as he in
tended to panici};ate in an aviation
contest in Boston on Atigust 27. A
change of plans, however, might yet
result in his continuing his flight
from New York to Boston.
Discussing his experiences from
his air craft in the cross-country trip,
Atwood said;
“I am sure w'hen aviation becomes
common, it will add a new point to
life. Seen from my machine houses
iook as small as dog kennels, towns
appear to ba clusters of toy houses
and rivers look like brooks. Over the
towns the temperature is slightly

By Associated Press.
Washington, Aug. 16.—Accused of
having made an illegal contract for
the expert services of Dr. H. H. Rusby,
of New York, Dr. Harvey W; Wiley,
chief of the government chemistry bu
reau, testified before the house inves
tigating committee today.
Dr. Wiley told of his educational
training for the pure food life. He de
scribed his activity in advocating pure
food legislation and opposition to some
food manufacturers.
“I took a very active part in all
steps leading up to the pure food
law,” Dr. Wiley said, replying to Chair
man Moss. “I began in 1883 an at
tempt at a scientific investigation of
the adulteration of foods.”
He explained that the pure law au
thorized his bureau to investigate all
foods to determine whether they were
misbranded or adulterated.
“Do you then certify your findings to
the secretary of agriculture,” asked
Representative Floyd, of Arkansas.
“We used to.”
“What was the next change in the
administration of the law?”
“The appointment of the food and
drug inspection board. At first the
hearings were held before the bureau
of chemistry; then they were trans
ferred to this board.”
“Is Dr. Dunlap a chemist?”
“Y"es.”
“Is Solicitor McCabe a chemist?”

way all day I may break a speed rec
ord,” said Atwood, as he waved to
the crowds below.
