7. Jensen, who took off from Roosevel; Field in the Bellanca Monoplane Green Flash at A. yesterday in a second attempt to establish a new solo endurance flv- ing record, landed here in the ruin at 2:10 A. M. Unexpected trouble with the plane's fuel system wasted more than half hi.s gasoline supply and forced him to descend twenty hours sooner than he had anticipated.

Jensen, who finished second in the Dole flight to Hawaii, was in the air only A little more than seventeen hours, as against the record of 33 hours and 25 minutes made by the late Royal Thomas. Pending an examination of the plane's fuel system later this morning, Jensen expressed tho opinion that the loss of moro than half of his gasoline supply had been caused either by the of the gasoline pump or a leak in the tanks of the supply system, The aviator said he was purprised to discover at hyo o'clock tfis morning that his main gasoline tank was almost empty, although it should have contained sufficient gasoline for about twenty more hours of flying. Jensen flew through a drizzle yesterday and a veritable downpour last night. He made a perfect landing in a sea of mud, with no lights to guide him and visibility further obscured by a heavy rain. The accident to the fuel system was the second stroke of hard luck suffered by Jensen recently.

He was forced down on a Long Island beach last week in his first attempt to set a new mark. Going Big Those new spring Suits and Topcoats. There is a reason, they sure are beautiful garments. You could pay $30 to $35 for any of them and get your money's worth. Come in, look them over.
