LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE DOLE FLIGHT

Now that it is almost certain that none of the six men and one wom- an lost in the Pacific from aero- planes will be picked up we learn that one of the official inspectors for the preparations for the flight has pointed out two lessons learned from the disastrous event. The first is comparatively unimportant, in fact it is almost absurd, as it calls for a Thoroughly adequate" test under a full load" of planes which are to attempt long flight over water. What is an adequate test, may we ask? AS far as the full load Is con- cerned it seems as though a plane which was able to get into the air at all with heavy load would be able to keep on going, granted the engine and body functioned as it had when it started, as the load con- tinually gets lighter as gasoline is used. The second rule calls for the prohibition of land planes from over water flights Reasonable enough perhaps, but the fuselage of a living boat is light and easily destroyed by a heavy sea, even though it has been so treated that it does not dry out and leak when immersed, as many of them do. The chances are very strong that a flying boat would be destroyed in case of crash through tail spin or other forced drop, and that it would not last very long af1oat
 The best rule to make, if we must make one, is that publicity seekers be forbidden to offer prizes for long hops over the seas. The chances are that many aspirants for pecuniary honors will then refrain from risk ing their lives in nearly hopeless flights and that attempts at long trips will be made by such men as Byrd. The circus stunts do little to advance the cause of aeronautics. witness the two lessons" we have learned from the Dole flight. They were not worth the lives that were spent on them. in fact they were fairly obvious before the trip was ever attempted
 Byrd undoubtedly learned much from his trip to France. He was of an experimental and scientific turn of mind, he had the instruments for making observations and the facili- ties for turning them into the gen. eral study of aviation. Lindbergh ad- vanced the cause of the art. or science. lmmeasurably through his success and through the intelligent use of instruments which were un- dcrgoing their first actual test His main contribution to the general cause, however, was the loaning of his great personality and his tech nlcal knowledge. He certainly fired public imagination and turned it's attention to aviation in manner that has not occurred before and probably could not again. Coli and Nungesser, though they failed, would have advanced the cause as well, had they succeeded. II is in the province Of these men to experiment and highly dangerous flying should remain in the hands of such as these until all of the rules of the

unknown game are obvious.

unknown game are OBVIOUS.
 What have we learned from the Dole flight? Two lessons, as out lined before We doubt if there Is anything more to record. And as for advancing the cause of aviation. Honest now, do you know the names of the aviators that won without stealing a glance at week old newspaper? How many of the names of the machines can you remember? The chances are that all you can recall in connection with the stunt is the names of few of the missing planes and the name of the woman lost. That Is all of the effect the flight had on the general cause. It did nothing to enhance 1t and we doubt 1t would have, had all of the planes come through intact.
 All Of the circumstances in con- nection with the flight, with the ex- ception of the accidents before the start and after. are unknown as far as the public is concerned. and probably as far as the workers for aviation are concerned. Which re- minds us of a story that came through the desk the other day, apt ly enough in connection with avia- ton.
 It seems as though someone asked the maker of the motor which drove Lindbergs and the Spirit of
 St. Louis" to Paris how 1t was that ! his name was not better known in ! connection with the flight. His an- swer was Who the deuce remem-
 bers the name of Paul Revere's ! horse"

The Love of Lady Claire
 Lady Claire Cholmondeley was seated in her blooming bedroom Was she making up the jolly face Righto. And oh. I say. reader, old thing, but she was doing jolly well good job of it, don't you know.
 She was putting on her eyebrows in a deucedly clever manner when the door, as silly old doors often do you know, opened suddenly. And in the door stood a chap known at the club as Lord Raspenbury-a silly old bean whom Lady Claire hated in a most positive way. Rath- CT beastly situation. what?
 "Oh, I say. old dear. tootle-oo,' sneered Raspenbury, a mockine smile on his hateful face. "We are going 10 elope tonight. A jolly fine night for a bally old elopement' this. Eh, what? Righto?"
 "No-oh" said Lady Claire in one of those calm voices, you know "Old bean. if you move one silly old inch towards me I'll jolly well Scream.'
 Raspenbury's answer was a beast. ly snarl, and with cry of fury he leaped forward in most disagree able way Exciting place, eh, what?
 "Elp." sand out Lady Claire. And as Raspenbury started toward hel the blooming door opened in 2 bored manner. you know, and the Earl of Whirl blew in.
 "Oh, I say! Pip-pip," he saic sternly. "what Is the jolly meaning of this beastly awkward situation?'
 "Cheerio. old fruit" explained Lady Claire. Lord Raspenbury ha' been cutting up in most irritating way"
 I-aw-well, I really dislike tt tell what happened next. Beastl! boring, you know. Fighting, and al that sort of thing. Quite enough tt say though, that Raspenbury go the iolliest kind of trouncing ant that in another minute the Earl ant and Lady Claire were In each oth CTS arms, Silly of them, what 1 Their lips met in the most joll! way.

 Q. What is the best way to clear the face with cleansing cream?
 A. Take cleansing cream and thoroughly clean the face by rub. ping the cream well into the skin Wipe off with tissue paper or a soft cloth. Apply skin food massagine it into the skin with movements upward and outward. Wipe of and apply ice cold water.
 Q. Is the number of guns fired by vessels in saluting various digni- taries such as kings, emperors 1 presidents of republics, etc. uniform 1 in the various countries? A. No. Formerly in Germany. the Kaiser was saluted with one hundred and one guns. In most of the countries of the world. however, there is a uniformity of salute of | twenty-one guns to sovereigns or heads of states.
 Q. What do the initials V. D. B., on the 1909 Lincoln penny, stand for?
 A. Victor D. Brenner. the de- signer of the coin. Q. Is it better to use high-test gasoline or just ordinary gasoline for cleaning purposes? A. The ingredients in high-test gasoline are of no value in dry cleaning. Some high-test gasoline manufacturers state that their par ticular brang of high-test gasoline should not be used for cleaning pur- poses-neither should 1t be allowed to get in cuts as ulcers and sores may develop.
 Q. Who was the greatest German ace in the world war?
 A. Captain Won Richthofen (killed April 21, 191s). He is credit. ed with 80 enemy planes.
 Q. Who played the part of Teddy Ward" in the picture "Fas- cinating Youth?
 A. Charles Rogers
 S. why IS JACK DempSey re- ferred to as the "Manassa Mauler"?
 A. Because of his birthplace, Manassa, Colorado, and the fact tha, he is such a terrific hitter or mauler.
 Q. Why does snake have to be in an S-shaped position to strike?
 A. When snake strikes from it's usual Sshaped curved position, the anterior half of the body which is thrown forward must be free from coil. In striking, the snake simply straightens out the S-shaped curves. It does not have to be in this position to strike, for observation has shown that when irritated most of our poisonous snakes can strike from almost any position for short distances. The greatest length of stroke is about hree-fourths the length of the snake. The idea that a venomous snake can strike its full length or even greater distance is a popular but erroneous belief.
