A Mans Mascot.

Charles Lindbergh. one OF the PUCK
est men in worlds history, has KIT
ZEN for a mascot, it may be worth
pointing out in a day and age when
the dog is generally given the role.
With thoughtfulness which some
might not have expected of so young
a man. the Flying Fool refused to
take his furry companion Of the han
gar with him upon the hazardous trip.
When he came to this decision, the
brave flyer deprived Patsy, the cat.
of an opportunity to take a place
with feline heroes. including Pussin-
Boots and Dick Whittington's famous
eat.
Yet undoubtedly it is enough to be
the friend and pal Of such man as
Iindbergh. Such an honor ought to
be enough for any man, let alone one
small kitten, and small Patsy today
will have the world hoping and pray
ing that he is. indeed a real mascot,
in the best sense of the word.

Great Circle FLYING

/ While Charles Lindbergh is wing
/ ing his way across the Atlantic, on
/ his hazardous and courageous flight
! from New York to Paris. which all
/ the. world hopes he will safely com
! plete, there is much confusion in the
! public mind regarding his route over
! the ocean. He is flying, IT is stated
! in general. on the great circle" he
! tween his starting point and his OBJ
jectivc, That is the accepted course
of all navigation, for it is the shortest
distance between the ports. When
! the great circle route is laid down
upon "Gat map" it looks to bo the
longer course. That Is because of the
distortion of the map when it is pro
jected upon a plane.
The great circle. in terms Of naviga
tion, is the line covered by thread
stretched across a globe representing
the earth from port to port. 1t is the
arc literally of a great circle that if
projected into the interior Of the
earth would pass through the geo
metric center Of the sphere. In prac-
tice, however, ships rarely sail actual
ly on great circles. but on a series Of
chords of such circles, plated in ad-
vance to effect minimum OF difficulty
in setting the steering course Ger
tain considerations of land formation
Of ocean currents and. of course. of
weather cause departures from the
rigid great circle sailing.
The season Of the year is factor in
ship courses, in the Atlantic service.
The great circle route carries steam
ers farther north than the route fol-
lowed during the. Winter and the
period of iceberg possibilities. At this
time of the year the steamer lane" is
somewhat south of Lindbergh's course
during the westerly portion of the
fight. Nearing the Irish coast his
line of flight more nearly comedies
with the course of ocean travel, as the
liner lanes converge for the English
Channel
Landmen are confused in conception
of ocean navigation, especially as to
great circle sailing-or flying. as in
the present case-because of their ia
miliarity with the fat or projected
maps. Furthermore. it is not general
iy remembered that Paris is consider
ably farther north than New York
about eight and a half degrees in
longitude in fact. This places it, on
the 'Mercator projection" map about
opposite st. Johns, Newfoundland. It
is probable that Lindbergh, in setting
his course, calculated his great circle
flight from the last land contact
rather than from his starting point,
which would tend to carry him even
farther north from the steamer lane

A Merited Appointment.

Appointment of Joseph C. Grew as
American Ambassador to Turkey is in
line with the present policy of the
State Department to place men of
wide diplomatic experience in key
positions in the foreign service. Mr..
Crews selection for the American
embassy in Turkey is particularly for
tunate. He has intimate knowledge
of conditions in the Near East. He
negotiated and signed on behalf of the
United States the Lausanne treaty
between this country and Turkey in
1928. True, this treaty was not rati-
fled by the Senate of the United
States, but it is entirely within the
bounds of probability that a new
treaty between the two countries may
be drawn by Mr.. Grew in the light of
the situation found to exist during the
consideration by the Senate of the
Lausanne treaty.
Mr.. Grew is a career man" in the
American foreign service. Almost
from the time he left college in 1902
he has been in that service His
first appointment in 1904 was as clerk
to the American consulate in Cairo,
Egypt, and from there he went as
third secretary to the American en-
bassy in Mexico City in 1906. Since
then he has occupied many important
posts, although his appointment as
Ambassador to Turkey is the first as
the head of an American diplomatic
agency After the World War Mr.
Grew attended the peace conference
in Paris and was appointed secretary
general of the American Commission
to Negotiate Peace. Since March, 1924
he has been Undersecretary of State
the office he now relinquishes to &c
