fed, and this stock should be re-
linquiShed.

ucts Corporation We're these:

COBHAM TALKS OF
 HIS LONG FLIGHT
Thinks Hydro-Airplane Should
 Be Developed More

London. Oct. 2 P)-"Possibly the outstanding lesson of this flight Is the necessity for developing the hydro-airplane immediately for com mercial transport" says Alan J. Cob nam, the English flier who return cd home yesterday from a round trip flight from England to Australia.
 This statement is made in an ar ticle contributed by Gotham to the Daily Mail. The man who made the 2S,O0O miles in 320 hours at an aver age speed of S7 1-2 miles an hour, asserts that he succeeded only be- cause he used a seaplane. He be- lieved it impossible to reach Austra- lia in an airplane during the mon- soon season.
 Gotham says he is convinced the air liner of the future, whether air plane, seaplane or flying boat, must be self contained and amply able to provide food and shelter for pas sengers, so that if the aircraft were delayed at some lonely place the passengers NOulu De III lIe SdIHc position as if on board ship, said he:
 My flight has proven that flying, from the mechanical point of view. has reached the stage when it is as reliable as any other form of trans portation. All that is needed to run an airline with safety and regular ity is an effective ground organiza- tion and the righ type of craft"
 Gotham sees a great future for flying in Australia, where he scE aircraft can develop communications as no other form of transport can.
 "In Australia" he declares, lit is possible to fly 365 days year. An English pilot would regard flying in Australia as rest cure"
 Today the Daily Mail reprints from it's edition of December 19, 1903, a New York despatch record ing how Wilbur and Orville Wright flew three miles at the rate of eight miles an hour at Kittyhawk, N. C.. The dispatch was captioned Bal loonless Airship.'

 The construction of the course in the heart of the romantic E;feI mountains represents 8 unioue ven ture. In return for an agreement to recruit all necessary labor from the army of unemployed in Cologne, Coolenz and Bonn. the county of Aoenau was guaranteed by the Ger man government the requisite funds with which to carry on the under taking at 6 per cent interest on credits so extended. The result has been that during the year and a half the work of building this speedway has been going on at full blast more than 2,ooo former vn- employed have been given profitable and healthy work amid congenial surroundings and homes in pleasant barracks located on sites so pie turesque as to arouse the envy of many mountain tourists.
 The official opening of the speed way has been set for the next spring. The "Nuerburgring" takes it's name from the ruin of an old castle of the 12th century, which from mountain top dominates the surrounding country and around which the speedway forms a ring.
