suddenly exclaimed upon the appear
ance of another airship slightly below
the R-33 and those in the forward
gondola looked down upon R-32 pro-
crossing at about the same pace and
in the same general direction. A wire
less signal was sent to her asking
that she keep the R-33 company as
far as Amsterdam. Into the clouds
that developed with rising sun both
ships sailed smoothly while those
aboard Toasted their eyes upon the
changing color effects. As the long,
slanting rays of the sun caught the
under edges of the clouds, a deep
orange flush mantled them. Between
the patches of white and orange and
red, the brighter rays shot up into
the unlocked blue. Each moment
added to the intensity of the colorful
scene, bringing unusual contrasts of
gold, silver white and blue.

waters of the North Sea.

upon the Norfolk countryside as the
R-33 gained her altitude and wondered
at the beauty Of the scene. A full
moon touched wood and hillside with
pale white and glistened from occa-
sional patches of water. The lights
around the aerodrome merged into the
darkness, but further south regular
intersecting lines of lights marked off
upon tho ground the city of Ipswich.
To the southeast a broad portion of
the heavens glowed with the lights Of

discernible with irregular white lines
marking the rugged cliffs. After
reaching the required height the cap

this really the voice of a man miles
away or was 1t some trick Of the oper-
ators aboard the R-S3? In the motor
gondolas the mechanics watched the
gauges intently, alert at every instant
to detect some fault in the fuel sup
ply or fabrication. They smiled at the
visitors and pointed out the main por-
lions Of the sweetly throbbing en-
gines. Here, at one side, was the con-
nection TO the fuel tanks and near by
a pipe leading to the oil containers.
At the side were metal plates covering
the exhaust pipes and upon which
could be placed the pots and pans, con-
tanning the food. Heated thus, the
problem OF cooking had been solved.

Once more in the navigating room,
the guests looked down upon the
waters of the Channel. 1t was nearly
midnight. The English shore line had
faded into the distance, but ahead the
twinkling lights OF Dunkirk and south
the glow OF Calais indicated the posi-
ton of the air liner. A tiny black dot
on undulating waters Of the channels
was a slow moving steamer with its
faint smudge of trailing smoke, and
looking through glasses, the dot took
form and on each side could be seen a

Whether it will ever reach the Dutch

the R-38 saw it drop into a field far
from any house. Some day perhaps d

the missive and deliver it, but the
chances are that it will be kept as a
souvenir of these pioneer days in air
travel.
The itinerary of the RIBS voyage
had been carefully planned and was to
include a landing at Paris, where an
official of the British Air Ministry was
to be taken aboard. But no matter
how carefully PLANS may be made they
are inclined to be changed by unfore-
seen conditions. During the night one
OF the water taps in the washroom OF
the R-33 had been left open and
great amount of the water ballast had
been lost. A landing at Paris de-
pended upon the amount Of ballast
that could be sacrificed, and an in
spection showed that the ship had al
ready lost more than could sc safely

altered and a course set across the old
battle fields of Flanders and thence
home.

MI with the minor variation due

skiing is essentially the pastime OF
Norway. Those who are accustomed
to the long runs over perfect snow
common in Switzerland find little
pleasure in following the narrow and
tortuous tracks through forest. and

out such q track for themselves, since
forest skiing requires skill of a wholly
different order from that necessary in
the open. The paths are often hard
and very bumpy, speed is quickly
gathered, and great command over
the skill is necessary to keep the bal

At this point in the journey the head
waiter announced that a lunch had
been prepared and the guests were
conducted up the protected companion
way to the combined mess hall and
sleeping room in the keelway. This
room had taken on an unbelievably
homelike appearance. Coming up
from the gondola below where the
travellers had gazed spellbound upon
England's nocturnal wonders and de-
liberated upon the rapid strides in
aviation, it was with almost a shock
that they realized the possibilities for
creature comforts in the air. Here in
the interior OF the huge gas bag was

board definitely announced its in
tentions to raise $l,500,0O0 addition
al for the endowment of graduate

try.
1t will rank with the university's
schools of medicine, law, divinity

The Harvard corporation heartily
approved the suggestion that the
new fund be named for President
Emeritus Charles w. Eliot.
Two main purposes are embraced
in the plan for the new school. these
being: The solution of study, ex-
pertinent and investigation of the
many and varied problems of edu-
cation, and the training of leaders
for the schools. Ample equipment
for research work, including a labo-

Disabled Soldiers Run
Gamut in Occupations in
Re-Education Classes

Washington, June 2S-Every man
to his own taste.
You don't know how many occu-
pations there are open to disabled
and handicapped men until you see
the list of those which have been
chosen by the disabled soldiers who
are training with the federal board
for vocational education.
If the disabled soldiers choice is
indicative of the trend, there is no
need to worry about getting men
back to the land. They choose the
land by hundreds, and agriculture
leads in the courses they ask for.
But they don't all want to farm.
Here is one taking a course in
herology, another in sculpture, and
another in chemistry. 1t may be
the influence of the motor corps, but
auto mechanics is mighty popular,
and the overseas trip has opened the
eyes of some to the opportunities
in foreign trade.
With such steady application and
enthusiasm as these men in training
are showing, old-timers in the pro-
fessions they enter must look to
their 1aurels.
