MORE OF MacSWINEY
GREAT AMERICAN SLANG

American friends of Irish freedom
will probably start a movement, if they
have not already, started it, to erect
a monument to the memory of Ter
renee MacSwincy, revolutionary may
or Of Cork, who died last week in
Brixton Jail, London, after having
tasted seventy-four days as a protest
against his imprisonment. Whether
or not monument is erected matters
little as the memory OF MacSWiney is
concerned for he has already been
memoriaized in a more effective way
his name has become a phrase in
American slang
Who in American can not conceive
instantly what is meant when one re-
fers to doing a MacSwiney"? The
whole drama of starving oneself for a
cause is condensed into three words
will constitute henceforth no. mean
addition to the pungent vocabulary pf
American slang. The meaning of the
phrase will probably remain under
stood even after the facts of its birth
ave been forgotten. The fact that
man named Steve Bodie" took a
chance" will never be forgotten in the
sporting and its allied worlds, althogh
few now know just what chance he
looh. Steve Bodies daring had much
ess advertising than MacSwiney' S
heroism. The latter's monument in
the everfresh syllables ofss American
speech will be correspondingly more
prominent,
And slang, good slang, is the lasting
thing. In a few years TING the best
of the slang of given season be-
comes absorbed in colloquial speech
and usually sticks until it becomes not
only good American" but that ex-
elusive thing called good English
as well. But only the best OF pun
gent slang is allowed to stick.
And what is slang? 1t is in essence
simply a departure from the ordered
scheme of things in order TO obtain
quick results, short cut, as it were
Not only has language a slang but
so dancing and music, painting and

SAVING the Tin.

After trying many other processes Of
recovering tin from old cans there is
now according to La Nature (Paris), a
return to the old-fashioned method of
boiling the scraps (well cleaned) in a
solution containing an excess of free
aikali and saltpeter The tin is recov-
ered as crystals Of stannate of soda
and the alkali and saltpeter can be
used over and over again.

COAST ALTITUDE
RECORD SMASHED.

The former altitude record of $4,000
feet, held by Olif C"Swede") Meyer
hotter. made in San Diego in 1917 with
an old type Curtiss plane equipped
with an 80 h. p. motor, has been shat
tered. An altitude of 81, 800 feet was
made by Walter II. Varney flying a
Lincoln-Standard airplane- equipped
with a $685. h. p, Hispano-Suiza motor.
This new Pacific coast altitude recor1
was made over the city of San Fran
cisco.
Varney took off" at 1901 O'Clock
attaining al altitude of 10000 feet on
This first circle Of the field. The further
series of circles took him out of sight
OF the spectators on the ground. His
attempted altitude Of $4,000 feet failed
on account of the intense cold and the
rarity of the air. At $4,000 feet he be-
gan to feel the cold and the thermom-
eter on the Ship registered six de-
greesa below zero at the maximum
height attained on this flight. Varney's
face and wen his hands although en-
cased in fur gloves were blue with
cold upon landing.
While Varney reported that he had
difficulty in breathing at this great al
titude, he had no engine troubles what
ever. ~Varney used Red Crown gasoline
and Zeroline %lubricating oils. Under
normal conditions of the first stages
Of his flight he climbed at the rate of
1000 feet minute, but at an altitude of
$4,000 feet the air vas so thin" that
at times the plane dropped so to rs
feet before catching ; hold and the
speed was cut to 900 feet a minute.
Varney did not attempt to break the
record set by Major Schroeder who
flying a LIE Pere, attained a height Of
$4,000 feet. Major Schroeder on this
great climb was equipped with oxygen
tanks and apparatus and electric heat
ed clothes. Varney plans other flights
over San Francisco and expects to es-
tablish a new altitude record for the
Pacific coast.
M~eyerhoffer. Chief Test Pilot for the
Varney forces, also made a test flight
and attained a height of $500 feet
which is 300 feet better than the rae
ord he established three years ago.
