If Successful. Plane Will

tIsy Associated Press. /,

PARIS, Dec. 31.--An American firm
has Just ordered an airpiane OF the
type described by Louis Breuget.
famous French flyer and constructor,
as IAN ocean-croSsing plane" NJ
Breuget recently predicted that these
airplanes will be making frequent
trips across the Atlantic within two
or three years. They are now un-
der construction.
They arc expected to he able 20 fly
twenty-four hours without stopping.
at speed Of $50 miles an hour, and
co carry twenty or thirty passengers
with baggage. This would bring tho
two continents within a days travel
of each other.
Planes linvc Huge Wings
Tho planes are being planned with
huge wings. six feet thick. the in :
terror of which will be used for
cabins. AS described by NJ. BrcuEet.
their total weight will be $50 tons.
their wing spread 375 feet, and they
VIII have twentyfour motors of 500
horse power each.
1t was contemplation of this big
advance that led NJ. BreuEet to sug-
Eest the possibility that an airplane
eventually will be able to go around
the world In one flight.
There Is no reason why m air
piane could not make the circuit of
the world without stop, il we pur-
sued the formula as to weight lifting
and speed. and II greater room can
be found for fuel. say 20 per cent of
sna total lifting power" he said.
Has Enormous Speed.
Such plane would travel at n
speed OF 76o miles an hour, but this
speed would be impossible unless an
average height OF $4,000 feet could
be maintained. At such height the
atmosphere has one fifth of its ordin-
airy density.
Tho vista spread out by such n
possibility is amazing. Man could
fly around the earth faster than the
earth's movement. He could, so TO
speak. catch up with the sun. New
York would only be six hours from
Europe.
Again. in the case of war. what
would be the use Of big fleets If they
were faced with huge 100 and ton
aerial torpedo planes? The navies Of
the world Will then be relics of the
past, fit only for a place In museum
next let US say. TO mammoths.
People laugh at these predictions"
concluded 81. Breuget, but so did

ton was introduced"

We are progressing, not retrogressing.
Work is real joy; for we feel that
all the energy we expend helps at least
in a small way in the demonstration

BesS, if you should ever taste the real
satisfaction Of living in a cooperative
colony like ours, you would never want
to go back to that old outworn system.
Neither would Ernest. You are both
co-operators BY nature, anyway. No
one need have any fear as to their
children here. The community takes
care Of them in such way that they
develop into natural. self-reiant boys
and girls, with feeling of response
bility, to others and the community
in general. They learn to serve cheer
fully. 1t becomes second nature to
them, Many time | have heard the
regret expressed by older colonists that
they did not grow up in community
like this. However, no matter how old
they are when they enter here, they
grow younger in mind and spirit from
