THE PART PICTURES MUST PLAY

No ONE institution Lot excepting the public schools IS

age child, nowadays begins seeing motion pictures long
before he enters the school and keeps seeing them
all through the impressonabe age The movies Of
our greatest educational institutions and such should
receive the attention Of the public Just do schools
The movies are here to stay and 90 percent Of our
children going to see them This might well be
accepted fact and reformers would do well to devote
their energies toward seeing that the right kind Of pic
lures shown and not waste any time amentng con-
iition which is here.
The motion picture industry IS promoted to make
money Many producers probably give little thought to
the effect pictures VIII have on children That IS little
out Of their line, they naturally cater the money
spending public and the public, to this time, has shown
interest films that merely entertain than those
of educational nature. Hence IN seeking Of
putting before the children the kind of films that VIII
really benefit them It VIII be necessary look elsewhere
than to the big producers
In cities free movies maintained for children
and at these shown films calculated the minds
big step solving the problem but it is enough
Il must be realized that children learn more from the
movies than they do from books from teachers The
advent Of the cnemagraph into the public schools and Sun

There is good reason why children should not be

Looking Back to the
Savannah

be great success as a steamship. Foe
eighteen days out of the twenty. five
that she spent at sea on the way to
Liverpool she was under steam power.
She might have gone the whole way
under steam but her skipper was afraid
that he would use up his fuel. She
burned pine pitch under her boilers
and had to carry great quantity for
her long trip.
1.-The Savannah had exactly the same
problem then that the &c planes hsve
to-day-to find room for the fuel to
cross the ocean. She was zctuslly
pushed for room in which to carry ner
fuel. The only reason that the naval
seaplanes are putting in at the Azores
is because they cannot yet carry
enough fuel to fly straight through to
England. Every ocean Aier has the
same problem-to get off the ground
with enough fuel to last the entirer
trip. The fuel for the navy fight OIL,
twenty hours requires $4,000 pounds
of gasolene.
To-day the problem OF carrying
enough fuel for transatlantic voyages
is the last consideration and the speed
of the trip has decreased from twenty
five days to five days. Will the aerial
liner of 2019 look back with amusement
at the problems of this first flight By
air from America to Europe?'

Second Day Out

Sunday the 18th. (Mr. Mason's MS.)
This morning the gale by 10 had
subsidized to an eight or nine knot
breeze for a vessel at sea, and bears us
perhaps thirty miles per hour or more.
1t has veered however, very consider
ably to the north, and now at shutdown
we are holding our course due west,

parsons Of one sort and an

York Evening Post" observes:
cone hundred years ago, within a
few days. May IS, 1919, an American
ship, the Savannah, was the first steam
driven vessel to cross the ocean-and
now American naval seaplanes are
waiting at Trepassey Bay Newfound-
land, to fly to Europe.
in 1919, when the Savannah was
launched for her trip there was some
doubt whether or not steam would
carry her across the ocean, and to
make doubly sure that the ship could
make the trip masts were hoisted for
sails. In fact, more dependence was
placed on the use Of the wind than
on the steam. In this generation. we
are providing our overseas fiers with
patrols of destroyers along the path
of fight The sails on steam vessels
were soon discarded as cumbersome
shall our destroyer patrols for ocean
flers be abandoned on another trip as
equally cumbersome and unneces-

To An,erica!

at was now that Mr.. Ainsworth made
an extraordinary but to my fancy by
no means unreasonable or chimerical
proposition in which he was instantly
seconded by Mr. Holland, viz that we
should take advantage of the strong
gale which bore us on, and in place
Of beating back to Paris make an at
tempt to reach the coast of North
America. After slight reflection | gave
willing assent to this bold PROPOSE
ton, which (strange to say met with
objection from the two seamen only.
AS the stronger party, however, we
overruled their fears and kept reso-
lutely upon our course.
I've steered due west, but as the
controlling Of the buoys materially i'm
pedcd our progress and we had the bal
loon abundantly at command either for
ascent or descent we first II rev out
fifty pounds of ballast and the, wound
up (by means of a windlass) so much
of the rope as brought it quite clear
of the sea. We perceived the effect
of this mannuvre Immediately in a
vastly increased rate of progress, and
as the gale freshened we flew with a
velocity nearly inconceivable, the guide
rope flying out behind the car like a
strearner from vessel. 1t is needless
to say that a very short time sutficed
US to lose sight of the coast. We
passed over innumerable vessels Of all
kinds.
1--WE occasioned the greatest excite
ment on board allan excitement
greatly relished by ourselves, and es-
pecially by our two men, who now,
under the influence of a dram of &C.
neva. seemed resovled to give all scru-
pie or fear to the wind Many of the
vessels fired signal guns, and in all we
were saluted with loud cheers (Which
we heard with surprising distinctness)
and the waving of caps and handker-
chiefs.
1--WE kept on in this manner through
out the day, with no material incident.
and as the shades of night closed
around US VIC mads a rough estimate
OF the distance traversed. 1t could not
have been less than 800 miles and was
probably much more. The propeller
was kept in constant operation and no
