have mentioned the crossing by
air Of the Atlantic. Though this
has not been repeated since June,
1919, It is a certainty that there
will one day be a regular passen-
ger airplane service between Paris
and New York.
Recently I placed a wager that
within ten years a regular service
would be established between
France and the United States,
which, starting from Paris at 9
p. M. would deposit its passengers
before 8 o'clock the next day In
New York.
To obtain this great result there
still remain a number of problems
to be solved. the greatest Of which
lies in the invention of the perfect
motor. which will withstand all
weather and altitude conditions.

tions is II possible that any sane
person can expect trade. industry,
or any normal function Of life to
become possible by the magical
wave OF a wand?
But a scheme nevertheless. on
the lines Of the following, would
to a great extent assist the
Soviet Government in re-estab-
fishing such conditions Of life as
are necessary for the economical
rebirth OF Russia.
The first stop should be the
nomination Of commission Of
technical experts by all nations
interested and investing in Russia
Germany included.
HAVE NO EXPERTS.
This commission should work
jointly with a commission OF tech
nical experts appointed by the
Soviet Government. These would,
by the way, not be Communists,
as there are practically no tech
nical experts who are also Com.
munists.
All credits given to the Soviet
Government should be applied
only to such concerns Qncluding
railways, navigation, etc., as
would be under the direct con-
troll and administration of these
two commissions.
Control by these commissions,
working through the co-operatives
and local soviets, of the distribu-
ton and collection OF seeds and
harvest.
A complete amnesty to all
those who can come under the
heading Of technical experts.
Autonomy and freedom to work
and contract for work both for
the trade unions and cooper
atives.

quit the conjugal domicile on
September 25. 1921.
That Mrs. Barnum, formerly
well.known in New York and
Paris society as Rowena Stewart,
lost no time in filing her appeal
is shown by the fact that the
divorce was granted less than
two months later. although the
delay Is usually six months.
The case was not defended. and
Mrs. Barnum was granted the
custody Of her son and alimony
amounting to 10000 francs
monthly.

THE most notable event in the
domain Of aviation since the
war was unquestionably the cross
ing Of the Atlantic, opening hori-
IONS as illimitable as the actual
aviation machinery is imperfect
and open to development.
But the event which was not the
most notable-because It was
scarcely heard of in the outside
world-but which nevertheless was
in my opinion the most remark
able, was the contest Of motorless
alrplanes held at Gersfeld in Ger
many last August
During the course OF these trials
the pilot, Klemperer. on a glider
without motor, succeeded in cover
ing a distance Of five klometers
in bird.flight in thirteen minutes.
During this performance he looped.
