Direct Flight Across the At

f0undland to Ireland in
Sixteen Hours.
ssociated PresS)

London, June l6.-Ihe Fickers-
Nimy bipIane from Newfoundland
/ landed in ireland near Clifton at $40
Sunday morning after flight of
sixteen hours, mostly through fog.
The landing was made at 9:40
O o'clock British summer time. In tax
! ing the ground the machine struck
heavily and the fuselage caught in
the sand. Neither occupant was in
juled.
hrizzIe This hampered the airmen
considerably. Captain Alcock ex-
planned the silence of his radio in
strument during the trip by saying
the wireless propeller blew off soon
after the airplane left Newfoundland.
Captain Alcock, however, hoped to
be able to fly to London in the ma
chine which made the record flight
as soon as it could be repaired 1t
was planned to have him give an eX-
hibition over London in the machine,
if possible.
The Aero Club received message
from Clifden not long after the
transatlantic fivers landed, signed by
them, which stated they had complet-
cd the fHoht in rs hours and II
minutes. They requested instructions
from the club.
London, June 16.-Major Murray of
the United States army air service
teIegraphed Captain Alcock at Cliff
den, Ireland:
Congratulations on your brilliant
achievement in completing this epoch
making flight across the Atlantic"
Lieutenant Brown, navigator, was
slightly injured when the Vickers-
Vimy biplane landed at Clifden. Both
men We're deaf, dazed and unable to
walk steadily for a time. They dis
tr.buted cigarettes as souvenirs and
cave away a small dog and cat which
were their mascots during the trip.
Their altitude on the flight varied
from a few feet above the water to
1900 feet. They never sighted
ship.
Their wireless was disabled soon
after the start.
Alcock said; q didn't know once
during the night whether | was up
side down or not Once we aScended

thirty feet below"
Lieutenant Brown noticed that one
Of the stay wires was broken soon
after odov started from st. Johns, but
did not tell Alcock. When Alcock
leaned OF ire incident he said:
Il would have turned back had
known it,"
Weather conditions were bad during
the tlip and Brown had to climb from
his seat once to clear ice from the
petrol gauge

Every Boy a PrOdigal

time being genuine prodigal?
Ignore it at your peril and his.
Warren, the fourteen-year-o old
cited above, has set out under ideal
conditions. His destination some
where in the big harvest field, no
one to pet and honey him, to rustic
his own job, to try out his own met
tie, to make his own reputation, to
do lot of sweating and hard think
ing, and finally, as 1 believe, to
come back very much improved in
purse, body, mind and spirit.
Now the runaway prodigal is a
saddening and tragic commentary
on parental Encouragement. But
to go out as a prodigal with the
consent and blessing of the parents
that is what I am here advocating
and defending as a sort of divine
right Of the average ffteen-year-
old.
II there is anything more than
others which a red blooded youth
resents for a brief period. it is to
be held closely about home as
mama's nice, good boy; TO be re-
garded as too fraiI in body or in
moral stamina to act alone. Yet
many of those who write me dis
tressingly about their young sons
are guilty of precisely this fault OF
babying and suppressing the latent
rugged strength in their boys. This
coddling of youth is one Of the hid
den tragedies of our pampered city
civilization.
Come on, parents-let US start a
new type of prodigal. Let US give
our boy the dare, literally beat ma
ture TO it in opening the way for
him to go out into the wild. Let us
equip him somewhat as was done
with Warren. And, as he leaves
with our blessing, let us remind
him sharply of the glad day when
he is to return-bigger, stronger,
cleaner, weather., wiser, better
and will help us eat the fatted calf.

the little Brown Mouse wanted to

also wanted to see her Royal High

says. you know:
Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat, where have
you been?"
And Puss felt that 1t would be
very nice to be able to answer,
i've been to London to see the
Queen"
At last the castle came in sight
and very soon our two little travel
ers were ushered into the Queens
presence. And she was a very
sweet Queen, indeed. She never
screamed and jumped up on a chair,
as a great many ladies do when
they see a little Brown Mouse. No
indeed. She smiled and said, Come
here. my little subjects What Is
your errand and what do you

castle, for I once lived here, my
most lovely Queen"
Well, everybody who has met the
Queen knows what she does, but
will tell you in case you haven't met
her. She ordered cake and cream
to be served at once, and the little
Brown Mouse had all the cake she
could eat and Puss all the cream
he could drink.
And after that the Queen asked
Puss to tell her a story about his
travels, so Puss began to relate how
he had been a traveller ever since
the time he had discovered the pic
ture Of his father on the Nursery
Book called "Puss in Boots"
AT first, you See" said Puss

illustrious parent, and when found

But then life at the castle be-

toned to travel. so 1 once more set
out, and many's the adventure I
have had. your Royal Highness,"
and he looked at the Queen with
such a queer funny little grin that
she leaned over and picked him I'D
and placed him on her lap.

will remain at Court" she said. But
what Puss Junior said 1 will tell
