REALLY OF LITTLE SERVICE
Hydroaeropiane Not Likely to Be
Developed, Is the Opinion of Men
Who Should Know

mere seems some reason for believ-
ing that the hydroaeroplane, that is,
the aeroplane carrying a boat or float
beneath it for alighting on the water,
was development in the wrong direc-
ton In the first place, such machines
cannot be made seaworthy. Even now
the aeroplane flies in winds that keen
smaller -water-borne craft shut up in
port-winds kicking up such a sea that
al1ghting on it would be difficult if not
impossible. Secondly, the aeroplane
is steadily increasing its radius of
action, and if past growth is any
criterion, will eventually be able to
traverse even the Atlantic in a single
hight The use of duplicate engines will
greatly minimize the danger of forced
alght1ng, and the time should not be
far distant when the accidents of the
past due to structural weakness under
sudden strains will be as rare as thew
have been common.
Finally, the use of mother shin"
that is, marine platform for launch
ing and receiving again from the air
the aeroplane scouts of the, fleet at
sea, seems a more feasible means of
solving this problem than that of fast
ening an alighting boat to each plane.

in a small town created lots of fun and
some indignation. A joker notified
many of the housewives that on a GER
tain morning the telephone company
was going to blow the dust out of the
phones and from the wires. They were
told to tie cloths over the phone to
prevent the dust running wall paper,
furniture and pictures. Some of the
phones were kept closely tied for an
hour or two and others were under
the rags for half a day, or at least
until they found by making inquiries
of central that the joke was ON them
