Lieut.. Leslie P. Arnold and Lieut..

as alternates. The names of the four
enlisted men are not ut hand.
AT this writing, according to the
tentative route selected, the start will
be from Washington, ID. c., proceeding
to Seattle; then flying nOrthward
along the coast of Canada and south
ern Alaska, across the Aleutian is
lands, down through the possessions
of Japan; along the shore of China,
French Indo-China, Siam and Burma
across India; up the Persian gulf
across Turkey and Europe to Eng
land thence north through the Farce
Islands to Iceland; thence to Green
land and southwark along the east

Farewell, Greenland, from which
point direct flight will be made to
Hamilton Inlet, on the Labrador
coast; thence southwark along the
Canadian shore, and up the st. Law
renee river to Quebec and Montreal,
from which point the flight will pro-
coed south, via New York, to Wash
Ington.
The flight has been divided into six
legs, each in charge of n control Off
Ger, as follows: Seattle to Attu is
land, Lieut.. Clayton L. Bisnell; Attu
to Nagasaki, Japan, Lieut.. Clifford C.
Mutt; Nagasah to Calcutta, India,

its total weight will be approximately
$500 pounds. Carrying its full gaso-
line capacity, the Douglas World
stop flight of about 2.200 miles, equal
to duration flight of 271a hours.
The motive power of the cruiser is
the famous old reliable Liberty ~, -
the efficiency Of this Amerlcan-made
wartime product having been proved
on numerous occasions, notably on
such extraordinary feats as the Alas
kan and Porto Rican flights; the
duration flight of over thirty-siX hours,
| made by Lieuts. John A. Macready
and Oakley G. Kelly, air service {;
their nonstop flight across the con-
tinent from New York to San Diego,
| Cal; the one-stop flight across the
| continent from Jacksonville, Fla, to

James II. Doolittle, air service; the
novel duration flight made by Lieuts.

record of Lieutenants Kelly and

coast, when they flew from the Cana

Should the army air service sue
coed in its undertaking, it will mean
that the United States will have
achieved the distinction of setting up
a record for the longest distance ever
| covered by an alrplane on one mis-
sion. Up to now the greatest distance
ever covered by an airplane on one
particular mission was the flight from
London to Melbourne, Australia,
made from November IL, 1919, TO Feb
ruary %, 1920, by the British pilots,
the late Sir Ross Smith and his broth
err, Sir Keith Smith, when their Wick
ers-Vimy machine traversed a total
distance of $4,000 miles.
The next longest flight, a distance
of 1888 miles, was made in Martin
bombing plane, plotted by Lieut.. Col.
r.. S. Hartz and Lieut.. E. f. Harmon
of the army air service, who between
July and November, 1919, made n
complete circuit of the United States,
starting from Washington, proceeding
to Spokane. San Diego, New Orleans.
and returning to Washington.

ment of Russia, means that tive route
will be heightened some 1905 miles.
The airplane selected is the Doug
las World Cruiser, built by the Doug
las factory at Santa Monica, Cal
This plane can travel ut an average
speed of 1854 miles per hour. The
undercarrlage, or landing gear, is
convertible; 1t can be fitted to fly
either over land or water The land
type consists of the divided axle form
of chassis, with two 36-lnch by S-inch
stralght-sIded wheels and an articulat-
ed steerable tail skid. The water
type undercarrlage consists of twin
pontoons to replace the land type,
capable of withstanding rough water
landings.
The four cruisers will be equipped
with pontoons at Seattle and will
make water landings In sheltered hnr-
bors along the coast of British Column
bia, Alaska and through the Aleutian
, islands down into Japan. The present
plan contemplates the removal of the
pontoons and the use of landing gears
from Tokyo to London.
This plane has six aluminium gas
tanks, with total capacity of COO
gallons. Two terne-plate oil tanks are
mounted, one on each side of the en-
CINE, one with a capacity of 20 gal
Ions and the other of 80 gallons. The
radiator is Of the nose type. A ten
gallon copper reserve water tank is
Installed in the pilots cockpit. provid-
ed with an air pump, so that the pilot
may pump water from the tank to the
radiator If necessary.
There is an electric starter, and the
plane is equipped with dual control
throughout. A radio direction finder
forms part of the equipment. The
plane is designed to carry load
slightly in excess of 4,506 pounds, and

Ludwigshafen and casualties were suf-
fered on both sides, dispatches re-
ceived here stated. A partial strike
had been declared owing to the refusal
of a number of men to work nine hours

Forests Affect Climate

The forest service says that cutting
down trees has a decided effect on eli
mate and soil fertility. 1t is an estab-
lished fact that forests tend to pre-
vent extremes of temperature, either
hot or cold, and thus moderate climate
They also prevent the washing away
of soil, retard and often prevent floods
and thus make cultivation of much
land possible, land which without trees
would be arid waste

for its possibilities OF al
vertising glory-and disaster-are APP

-Four American planes will hop off
this month or next from Washington
and will fly west, carrying four army
air service officers and four enlisted
men.
About the same time, according TO
present plans, three British army Off
GERS in a Vimy amphibian plane of
$50 horsepower will start from Lon
don and fly east, over practically the
same route. They are Squadron
Leader A. S. NGaclilaren, Flying officer
w. N. Plenberleith and Engineer
Sergeant Andrews.

Gogo Coutinlo of Portugal are report
ed to be ready to start in the race
with Fokker seaplanes under govern
ment auspices. France has been talk
Ing of entering the race, but her pres
ent intentions are not known.
Aviation enthusiasts speak of the
American flight as "outrivalng In i'm
pormnce the navigation of the globe
by Magellan" Anyway, it was con-
ceived by Mai. Gen. Mason NJ Patrick
chief Of mir service, who has secured
the approval of the secretary of war.
Preparations for the flight, Mt home
and abroad, have been under way for
months. Details made public by Maj
Henry II. Arnold, commander of Rock
well field, San Diego, and by General
Patrick himself, made possible the
following facts, many of which are of
course subject to last-minute change:
General Patrlck's purposes appear
to be in effect as follows:
To gain for the army air service
added experience in long-dlstance fly
ing under various climatic conditions
particularly in the supply problems
connected herewith: to complete an
alrplane flight around the world In the
shortest practicable time; to demon
strate the feasibility of establishing
an alrway around the globe: to stlmu-
late interest in commercial aviation;

Origin of Honeymoon

The origin Of the word honeymoon
Is disputed The old theory was that
II refers to the practice of the ancient
Teurons who drank ''hydromeb" n
drink made Of honey, for n month. or
"mOon." after marriage. There is an
old story that Atilla the Hun INDUCED
so freely in hydromel at his wedding
feast that he died. Thus the month
after marriage when people drank
honey wine was called honeymoon"
The Colorado statesman. [volume] (Denver, Colo.) 1895-1961, 1924-03-08

But modern philologists frown on this
derivation. They say originally the
word had no reference to month" at
all, but referred only to the ever
changing character of the moon. At
any rate, honeymoon now refers to the
period Immediately after marriage,
especially that part spent away from
home, when everything is supposed TO
be as sweet as honey.-Pathfnder.

SPEAK At HARLEM
Chairman of Sumter School
Board VIII Aid School in
Fight Now in Columbia

Col. J. f. D. Ship, chairman OF
the school board of Sumter county
has accepted an invitation to adj
dress the voters Of Columbia coun-
ty at Harlem on September 20, it
was announced here today. The
occasion is to be great rally in
the support of the schools there,
and besides Col. Ship, Judge Ham
mond has been asked to speak.
Because of the splendid work he
has already done for the schools Of
Sumter county, Col. Ships services
as a speaker are much in demand
wherever school matters are being
discussed. In Columbia county at
this time friends of the schools arc
working upon the proposal to au-
thorize district school taxation, an
increase of five mills in the total
taxation being involved. The cleo
tion to decide this issue will be held
on Tuesday following the speaking
Saturday at Harlem.
Mrs. Hugh Paschal, president of
the Parent-Teacher Association al
Harlem, is one of the most active
spirits in the movement FOR better
schools in Columbia county, and the
invitation to Col. Shipp was extend
ed by her upon behalf of that or

.SEAB0ARD TRAINS
OPERATE ON TINE
Less Than 2 Per Cent Behind
Schedule During Month of
August, Figures Show

SAVANNAH, Sept. 19.-For sew
eraI months past the Seaboard Air
Line Railway has made considerable
progress towards operation of its
trains on-time, States C. W. Small,
division passenger agent.
The last few month the percent
age has averaged around 96.1 TO
976, and figures just compiled for
the month of August show 98.1.
1t has been the policy of the Sea-
board officials to produce an envi-
able record for on-time perform
ance of its trains, and with the help
and cooperation of its employees
the results of their efforts are mani
tested in the figures just announced.
Several Divisions made a record
as high as 1913, and such Division
is striving to outcIass the other as
to on-time performance, and with
the approaching winter season it is
hoped to even better the high MARI
set for August of 98.1.

LEAD ROOFS LAST
ONLY 200 YEARS

LONDON, Sept. 19.-The leaden
roofs of some of England's old
churches, a heritage from media
val times, occasionally have to be
melted down, rolled over and then
replaced. The lead itself is indie
structable, but it has been found
that at the end of. every 200 years
the metal should be recast togive
the best results as roofing mater
al.
The lead on the famous dome Of
st. Paul's, however, has not been
melted down since it was placed If
position in 1710.
