European experts differ in their opin- ion regarding the efficiency of the oiS dirigible balloon Suchard II that Joseph Brucker, the German aeronaut, intends to use in his trans Atlantic flight starting from the Canary Islands and having as it's objective terminus the West Indies. The experts are divided into two camps. one party believes that only aircraft of the rigid or Zep- pelin type are successful and that all machines other than of the type men, toned are doomed to failure
 The other party however points to the flights of the Lebaudy dirigibie Ad~ jutant General Renaud, which holds the worlds record for altitude and which has made several flights of seventy two hours or more. So far however, the flights of dirigibles have been con- fined to over land trips and there is quite a difference when the flights are ation and ,Gs of the sustaining medium are the two big factors that have to be over come, and coupled with the ab sence ci guiding marks whereby the pilot may shape his course the pilots lot is not one to envy.

that there were no "srafs' here.
Then Mr.. Feldman, young man OF

entity an Intellectual with an intense
love of learning, got up from his seat
and essayed to present another reason
why this country was preferable to his
own. which, evidently, was Russia.

he Then he explained that they are made
by representatives of the people. lie had
a little difficulty in pronouncing the word
representatives, but it was clear that he
understood the philosophy of this method.
Then a student with gray mustache
urged as another reason for preferring
America to certain European countries
that you could do what you liked here.
This was dangerous ground Such no
ton must not obtain in the mind OF any
one. so the instructor FASTENED TO elicit
a contrary opinion. 1t was finally con
cluded that you could do what you liked
so long as II was not against the law.
Then the position OF the newspaper IN
the United States was discussed.
