NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

With a record of 1400 miles in 15 hours of flying time, the Harvard Flying Club's new "Travel-Air" biplane reached the Boston airport yesterday from Wichita, Kansas.

Bell '30, vice-president of the Flying Club, the journey was a rough one in which they were delayed by having to follow a low pressure area almost all the way.
