vantage over Americans.

The word is fast losing in this coun-
try the absurd significance which
people given to getting on in life have
attached to 1t. Our English friends
have made hobbies" a fetch for gen

man who doesn't return from his office
to some special weekend interest of
his own which is quite foreign to his
daily occupation is as much of an
anomaly In his country as an Ameri-
can is in this country If he does. The
conception of such a collateral intel
lectual existence goes back, of course.
to the basic difference between our
own and the English view of the per-
sonal life, and, in large measure,
where It affects the university classes,
to the public sentiment of the uni
versity community. Americans have
been intellectual paupers in this re-
spect, and We hazard the statement
that, so far as the American college
bred man has suffered from the condi-
ton. his college life public sentiment
has been In large part responsible for

the contest. One was provided with
lOO-horsepower Gnome, another
with 140-horsepower Gnome and

OF the planes are driven by chains
from the motor in the same way as

The Breguet biplane is OF the old
type, but the undercarriage has been
changed and now carries three
wheels. The Breguet is notable in
that it has Only three or four up

the front. 1t is quickly dismounted,

military use.
