PariS.-An invention recently
perfected by Godfrey Cabot Of
Cambridge, Mass, designed to
make possible the taking up Of

aroused great interest at the
first congress ON aerial nayiga-
ton held here.
Transatlantic air travel would
be greatly facilitated by this
method. as stops ut "alrmen's
Islands would not be necessary
ut Intervals In the Atlantic
ocean and alrplanes would have
much additional space available
for passengers and mail. which
otherwl'e would he taken up by
fuel sufficient for one crossing.
Mr.. Cabot thinks that trans.
atlantic air navigation will be

years, provided airplaneS do not
carry fuel enough for an entire
"Trip. With a minimum Of fuel
ana n maximum Of space for
mail and passengers. It could be
made n successful enterprise.
Mr. Cabot said. He assumed
that ocean crossings would be-
quite ordinary occurrences with.

Artistic Easter
Posters Work Of Grade
PUPILS. Shown at Schools

Easter posters, beautiful, artistic
and of commercial value have been
made by grade pupils at the Smith,
Lincoln and Webster schools under
tbe direction of Miss Edith NJ. Tet-
| reault, supervisor of drawing in the
! Augusta schools. These posters dis
played at the school buildings have
been admired by many people who
| are surprised at the amount or
| talent shown by the young people.
| Miss Tetreault has recently sent
! an exhibit of the art work of Angus
| ia pupils to the Eastern Art Conven-
! ton at Rochester, n. u, this being
! representative of all of the grades
| from the first up and conforming to
! the requirements of a art supply
| house, whose materials were used
in doing the work.
The Easter poster display at the
| Smith school was under the direction
| Of Miss Tetreault and Mrs. Emma
Tillson, teacher of the seventh grade
and instructor in departmental work.
| The exhibits by the pupils of the sew
enth and eighth A and 3 grades COM
prised about so posters. Easter mil
| linery, suits as well as the other
signs of Easter time, such as bun
MES, chickens and flowers were feat
ured in the designs. The teachers OF
the eighth grades are Miss Ada e.
| Edgecomb and Florence A. Mcken-
| ney.
The Easter posters at the Lincoln
! school were made by placing cut-out
| figures on background of suitable
| color. The posters of the fifth grade
| are Of baskets Of flowers advertising
| a florist. Those of the sixth grade
represent pots of flowers. rabbits and
/ other objects usually associated with
Easter. II is interesting to know that
| there is a fine sample of the work of
each student in the two grades. There
| are about so posters in the collection
| from the two grades. The seventh
grade is at the present time working
| on oil cloth book covers and Kodak
covers, which are most artistic. The
grade teachers are: Miss Linniken,
| sixth grade; Miss Enright, fifth
grade: and Miss Gardner, seventh
grade.
The Webster school sixth grade
! pupils have likewise made Easter
posters. These are both painted and
cut out and represent a basket of
vegetables. There is a fine likeness
of a market basket and this Is very
appropriate as the posters all bear
an advertisement for a grocer. Miss
Tracy is teacher of the sixth grade
at the Webster school.
