world FLIGHT AIM
IS UNDER SURF ACE
Is Seen as Effort to Center
Attention of Public and
Congress on Needs.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

what Is the purpose of the world
eencircling fight Of the American avi-
ators? Is 1t simply a stunt to prove
1.-THE courage Of the American flying
corps? Is 1t a challenge to the avia-
tion personnel of other countries?
n These questions no doubt have oc-
CURED to many people as they have
sobserved the progress of the trip
~around the world and the careful
Preparations made by the Army and
eNavy to accomplish their objective.
The answers are to be found in the
aexperience of aviation officials in both
- the Army and Navy with Congress.
For no matter what spectacular
= phases of the flight may be upper
most in the public mind today. those
interested in developing American
. aviation as military weapon as well
as commercial industry are graft
= ned beyond words at the amount of
attention the exploit has attracted.
Congress Indifferent.
Hitherto Congress has been more or
less ind fferent to the pleas for extern
" stve appropriations rlade by the Army
: and Navy. 1t is true that Congress
has granted appropriations more or
less generously. reckoning it from
a. the congressional viewpoint, which
insists on cutting down the Army and
q Navy anyhow. But aviation officers
have pointed in vain TO the large
: sums appropriated by Great Britain
- and France for the development of
aviation. 1t has been contended by
Z Army officers, for instance, that Euro
pean countries since the war have
: spent more money on aviation than
anything else.
In America the fact that billio rs
& were spent on an air program which
was not ready when the armiStice
y signed cd 70
Congress in expend.ng more money
The aircraft devotees have had a
= hard time OF 1t since the war. They
hoped that the air mail service would
s stir up interest and make Congress
appropriate money to encourage COM
) mercial aviation. To some extent
results have been obtained. Many
aircraft concerns went out of busi-
. ness with the war and have not been
missed because some Of them never
!. became efficient. But unless the
Government kept on buying a certain
number of planes annually there was
=. no incentive for private industry to
Keep on experimenting or building.
Industry Is Dangerous.
The industry was in danger of
&bsoiute collapse. 1t is by no means
- at this time what Army officers would
like to see but they have hopes that
y the world flight will put an emphasis
on aviation which will keep it before
" the eyes of the American people and
70 Congress in particular.
Then there is another aspect of the
e world flight which will become a sub
ject of discussion when Congress re-
. convenes. The American aviation
O units have proved that with a rel
: atively small sum of money they can
Il accomplish a great deal. The whole
:, trip round the world was a minor ex-
pense as military items go. Given
y more money they feel they can justify
the appropriations made and that
" America should not only keep pace

countries. but lead them.

Dear Leslie: am sorry--how
tritc and cold those words SEEM
YOU know, however, dear friend, that
the same words spoken by different
people take on entirely different
meanings.
When l. say | am sorry it means
that | sorrow and sympathize with
you with all nay heart. You have
been in my thoughts ever since re-
ccived Saly's letter
You have had much grief lately in
| the deaths of your father and sister.
Perhaps the greatest grief of all is
the thought that one must go on liv-
ing the same old life, doing the same
old things, even thinking the same
old thoughts, when ones heart is
desolate.
found this out myself, dear, when
| lost my father and mother in that
automobile accident many years ago
l almost resented when thought
outside my grief crept into my brain
and finally I realized that the only
way TO live on was to try and climi-
nate grief as Soou us possible. This
may sound very hard but it is the
only way.
Sally sent me some clippings from
the papers saying that you and your
mother were going to Atlantic City
for little while and that after that
YOU might come out here. That
would be glorious and | am sure il
would do you good. You would love
it out here in our sleepy little town

New York, Dec. 24.--It's merry,
merry Christmas in New York. In
the past three days ten men and wo-
men have died from drinking poison
cd booze. In the first half Of the

The number will increase rapidly

Booze is by far the most popular
Christmas present in Gotham. Some
firms buy it in wholesale lots to pass
out to patrons or employees. Except
for increased prices liquor is as easy
to obtain in New York as it was
before the eighteenth amendment
was passed.
There arc fully 10000 places in
New York where liquor can be
bought. There arc fully as many
bootleggers who have no place of
business but deliver orders to GUS
toners at Offices and homes. This is
not just a wild guess. The state
; ment is based on observation.
You can find bootleggers in all
walks Of life here. Many Of them
are druggists, delicatessen mer-
chants, apartment house -superinten-
dents and cafe proprictors.
One man is known as the Tiffany
