plane to try for the coastto-coast prize of $4,000. But it is one
thing to set out from a place, and quite another to fly somewhere else
within a given time and by a specified route. Ward had no accident,
such as has delayed Fowler, his competitor, who is trying to start in
the race from the California end; but he lost his way among the air
lanes overhanging Northern New Jersey, and twcntyfour hours later
was no farther on his way that Paterson. At this rate, of course, he
would halai' each the Pacific Coast by Christmas. Even with good
luck and road maps, it is a long chance whether he can cover the dis
lance within the time set-that is to say, by Oct. 10. Atwood, who
has travelled half the route, says it is impossible.
This emphasizes the crying need for aerial charts and sign posts
Of the sky. Up there, at present, stars are the only street lamps, the
meteors are celestial automobiles that sound no warning honk, and
