SupIcc SugkcSs why.
Henry Harrison Supleu. writing In the
scientific American on How the Atlantic
coul b. Mos; Easily crossed in an Aero
plane" suggests way stations for relay
flight to Europe
He says the elements Of difficulty In the
undertaking are comparatively few In
number and OF nature capable Of solu-
ton. provided there are sufficient funds
available but points out the possibility of
the aviator being carried f'r out of his
way by fog or air currents. He thinks
that the problem Of motor power FOR the
aeroplane is capable of solution either by
improvements in the engine or by duph-
cation OF the motive machine power in
such u manner that the navigator may
shift Immediately from one engine TO an
other.
Mr. Suplee suggests that IL IL entirely
practical to divide The trip 80 AS 10 bring
the various stages we'll within the limits
Of The established endurance OF man and
machine.
III We take the attempt" he writes,
as being made from America to Europe
and examine the possibility of subdivid-
ing the trip. regardless of the lanes
followed by the existing steamship lines,
I Is evident That n start from N"wfounu-
land, passing 10y way Of Greenland
Iceland. Farce Islands and Norway. would
give opportunity ioi the division OF the
voyage into four sections OF not greatly
different lengths.
"Folowing the precendent OF railway
practice and letting each section be ira
versed 10y men and machines In re-
lay, II would not seem impossible TO send
mail bag. Tor example, to Europe
through the air with the annlrAttIs which
. even now. 1T our disposal.
when this had been successfully ac-
complished II will be time enough TO think
about cutting out one or more Of the
way stations. This would mean. IN
the case of the areoplane the provision
OF four machines. including the one IN
which tho start was made and the EN-
ployment of as many operators. Doubt
less such method would not appeal &c
the sporting element. which regards the
undertaking In the same light as yacht
race or similar event. but when con
sidered wholly AS conservative engineer
in1 problem, the plan may be examined
upon It's merits"

money into the proposition if you bear in mind these facts:
 The stock of mine known to be good does not need to be pedded around
 It is hard to turn into money the stock of any other kind of mine
 Every ton of ore removed from a mine reduced it's value just so much If the mine is exhausted before your principal has been returned to you in dividends. you are loser.
 Assafe rule to follow in choosing an. in vestment is to go to your banker and in quire what proportion of it's face value he would loan upon il as security Being stern critics of collateral, the officers or loan commmittee of your bank can give you a pretty good idea of the degree of safety, eonvertibility and availa bility the proposed investment possesses.
 A savings bank account itself offers an ideal investment. It has the cardinal features of security of principal. certainty of interest return and availability in an emergency.
 It has an additional feature which is often denied the investor in securities, namely, the possibility of contributing small odd amounts. and immediately rein vesting interest returns by adding them automatically to the principal.

TALKS ON THRIFT
Essentials of Safe Investment

Tn making any investment, I recom- mend great regard for the security of the principal and not so much for the amount of income to be derived therefrom. '-G. S. Bowdoin
 security and for a definite income cannot be told in few words.
 It must be learned from experience preferably someone else's experience.
 Usually ones safest guide in investment matters is his banker. His experience in investing safely the banks funds. his knowledge of the pitfalls. and his observ- ance of money successes and failures, qualify him to give advice.
 If one is to get anywhere as an investor he must mako begiming-take the first step-and In doing so, he should consider these cardinal points:
 l. Security of principal It is utterly futile to invest money without having this point passed upon competently One should go no further until he is sure he is right on this point:
 2 Certainty of interest return. Thou sands of investors are misled by vain promises, with distressing results
 
 g. Availability of invested funds in case of an emergency. Too many find, all too late, that they are in possession of se- curities for which. there is no market which no bank will accept as collateral and which the promoter who sold them refuses or is unable to redeem.
 A point which is often placed first but really belongs last is the interest rate. As the interest rates rises, security. in terest return and availability usually re- cede, often to the vanishing point.
 Do not take chances with your money.
 An unusually high return for a short time will not compensate you for the loss of your principal
 Experience gained at the cost of reduced capital is too dearly bought.
 Mining stock t'investments'' are typical of many precarious schemes that small h. vestors are invited to get into Ion the ground floor
 You remember Mark Twain's definition of a mine-"A hole in the ground into which a lot of fools throw their money
 There are many wildcat schemes pro- noted for the sole purpose of separating fools and their money, but the lure of get ting rich quick seems to be especially strong in the case of mining stock.
 If your subscription to any such 'in- vestment is solicited. you will have diff ficulty in refraining from putting your
