books on aviation.
Adjoining the clubhouse is an air
drome of 80 acres. Members of the
club who are owners Of aircraft may
house their machines on the club
grounds, where they are kept In or
der by men hired especially for the
purpose.
Passenger airplanes are kept in con-
slant readiness for the use Of mem
bers for long or short flights ut special
terms. If.one wishes to make a quick
trip to distant point he has merely
to call up the club from his office in
London, and by the time he reaches
the field everything is in readiness for
the hop off. The airplanes used In
this service are specially designed
touring craft. with silenced motors
aud saloon bodies. Fast single seat
ers and two seaters are available for
sporting and service pilots.

The capabilities Of the latest type of
airplane will be demonstrated on the
club airdrome for the benefit of the
members.
A flying school is established on the
airdrome, with pilots available for
teaching ordinary and stunt flying.
lnterclub displays and contests are
being organized, not only between the
London Flying club and other clubs In
England, but also with foreign clubs.
Members have an interchange OF priv
ileges with the Sussex County Aero

airdrome within easy flying distance
from Hendon. A good connecting link
is thus formed with such resorts as
Brighton. Worthing and Bognor.
At one side Of the clubhouse, On a

Henry P. Dawson was talking about
the numerous correspondence courses
in five lessons-each lesson to be mas

dinner cigar-which teach a man how
to become Napoleon Of finance.
'YOu can't learn to be Napoleon
Of finance or anything else so easily"
he said. "These courses remind me of
the man who brought his son to the
school of mines and grOwled:
~ want you to learn this here boy
to be an expert mimi engineer, but
look a-here-I don't want him to waste
his time over a lot of book nonsense
about strata and foundations, and
don't bother him with minerOlogy and
crystals, neither. What want him to
learn is how to find gold and silver and
copper in payin' -payin'
quantities, mind you-and I'll call for
him and put him in to work Monday a
