SPEED RECORDS
LAND, WATER AND AIR. ' BRITAIN REGAINS ALL THREE. (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph Copyright.) London, April 5. The newspapers hail Britain’s recovery of the threefold speed supremacy of air, land and water represented by Kaye Don’s 103.49 miles an hour, Sir Malcolm Campbell’s 245.736, and Squadron-Leader Orfebar’s 357.7. The Daily Telegraph emphasizes the fact that it is not without significance that during a period of gravest depression theds three trades, motor cars, aeroplanes and motor boats, have maintained comparative prosperity. No doubt one of the main pauses is the prestige of speed.
