that this ocean journey in a flying ma.
chine will be undertaken tomorrow or
next day or perhaps during next year.
But it is bound to come sooner or later.
and l look for such a feat in M

"The first trip across the ocean will
be undertaken from this side. Atmos-
pheric conditions are better suited for
a trip from America to Europe. An
engine with a capacity Of driving all
airship IS or 100 miles an hour will
be helped along by the advantageous
air currents which blow from America
to Europe. The speed of the airship
will be increased at least twenty-five
miles an hour by such currents. On
the other hand. if a trip were attempt
ed in an airship from Europe to Amer
lea these same currents would retard
the progress of the %aeroplane by just
twenty-five miles an hour. which is a
great handicap to n undertaking such
a trip.
when this feat is accomplished it

troll Of the operator at all times. Bal
looms are always uncertain propositions

rents. l do not consider any sugges-
ton along this line as feasible. The
aeroplane is the machine which will
make the transoceanic trip"
1t seems at present that an aviator
in order to make a rapid fight across
the Atlantic will have to break all
aviation records for distance. speed.
altitude and duration Of fight.
The aviation record for speed. what
ever the length Of fight. is 1O6.11 miles
an hour. made by Jules Vedrines at
Pau, France, on July Is. 1912. in a ten
kilometer flight
The awaiting record for distance is
that made by e. Helen at Etampes.
France. on Sept. 8. 1911. when 779.45
miles were covered. The transatlantic
aier will have to fly almost three times
as far.
The record for duration Of flying is
II hours and ! minute, made by G..
Tourney at Buc. France, in 1911.
The altitude record is held by G..
Legagneux. He rose 1888 feet on

"COME FROM

By CLARISSA MACKIE

All the members of the Ladies' Aid
society leaned forward to watch the
approach of Mrs. Merriam. their new.
est member.
Terrible thin. amt she?" asked Ma
rilla Kent. II don't know why she al.
ways wear blue. 1t makes folks look
old"
Il guess she wear it because it's be-
coming to her." remarked Mrs. Long,
resuming her seat in the most com

ed. Some folks only look good in
one color. Now, I can wear anything"
An amused smile went the round of
the circle. 1t was quite true that Mrs.
Long could wear anything. 1t mat
tered little what color she chose. All
were equally ~unbecoming to her sal
low, dry skin.
She's got lots of color" giggled Bar
bara Twitchell. Myrtle said she
guessed Mrs. Merriam was an artist
as we'll as her husband"
I'm going to ask her what she uses
on her face" said Marilla daringly.
':Just you wait awhile. She won't get
mad. She amt bright enough to IN
derstand when you ask her sarcastic
things. l know, because I've put lots
Of questions to her. and she answers
just as simple as can be-"
The door opened to admit Mrs. Mer-
RAM. followed by Mrs. Quackenbush, at
whose house the meeting had gathered.
There was a cordial geeting for the
newcomer from each one Of the men,
bers, and no one would have suspect
ed from their manner that Mrs. Mer-
RAM was not a favorite among them.
Have you anything for me to do.
Mrs. Qu%ackenbush?" she asked as she
slipped a little gold thimble on her fin
ger. What are you making today?"
Something dreadful common and
plain" shifted Mrs. Qu~ackenbush dryly.

there, and l guess they get most every
thing except plain, sensible kitchen
clothes. And there's I've big aprons
going in, too, but I've give them out
already. Here's caliker for a cap"
Mrs. Merriam took the cap and
threaded a needle. She spoke rather
efficiently as she looked from face to
face. Don't you think it's rather use
less to send that sort of thing out to
Japan? You know labor is so CHEAP
there that native servants are hired to
DO everything. l don't suppose the
missionaries ever do any homework"
well" Mrs. Quackenbush glared
over her steel bowed sp~ectacles. II
guess, Mrs. Merriam. we've been send
ing barrels to Japan for ten years and
there amt one come back again. We
ought to know more about it than
some folks"
There was a little GREATNESS silence
as Mrs. Merriam returned Mrs. Ouack-
enbush's glance with one of calm COM
posure. 1t was on her tongues end to
say that her husband had been in ia
pan many times and that she was we'll
acquainted with the country and it's
customs from his graphic descriptions.
But she closed her lips firmly and
merely said:
Il was thinking of some of the
needy in u own town, Mrs. Ouack-
enbush."
"An the needy folks in New Free.
dom are so because they're too lazy tc
work" retorted the president warmly.
Mrs. Merriam said nothing more
about the caps and aprons. She sew.
ed steadily. talking in her pleasant
way with one and another of the wo.
men who sat near. As the time an.
preached for the passing of refresh.
ments there was a glow, of cordiality
that spread among the members until
Mrs. Merriam found herself the cente,
OF an admiring group. which had beg
ged for the pattern of her Gown, asked
to copy her pretty hat and inquired
where she bought her shoes.
II bought all Of them in New Free

ton that an %aeroplane flight
across the Atlantic ocean will be pos
sible at no far distant date. More
over several navigators Of air craft
have declared recently that they would
try to make the fight this summer.
Among them was Miss Ruth Ban

er, f. Rodman Law. would attempt to

"She will dare try it." said the
doubters. but the young woman assert
ed that she would show them.

Law. land I shall take my brother. l
do not think there is the slightest
doubt that we can do it. We shall
carry no pontoons or boats. but under
the wings of our machine we will have
three hollow floats of tin. so in case Of
a fall the apparatus will float.
BOATS would be too heavy to carry.
and in case we fell they would be Of
no use in the ocean. Then. again. by
not carrying them we get away from
just so much weight. We shall have
to carry from 30 to 100 gallons Of gas
oline. and this will be enough for about
thirty hours flying. We expect to
make 100 miles an hour on our way
across. Lord Northclife has offered a
prize for the first fight across the At
lantic, and we are after It."
"T~ransoceanic flying is coming just

DR.. Alexander Graham Bell. noted in

"Flying across the ocean will be &C.
