Ten Famous Distance Flights

Nelson were the two pilots who finished in the
ships they started. Wade being given a new
plane tor the last stages OF the flight.
In the crossing Of the Atlantic on nonstop
flights the flights that failed resulted in several
tragedies. Hawkcr and Crieve's pioneer voyage
came down in mid-ocean. but the two dauntless
airmen were picked up by frcighter. Earlier.
OF course, there was Wcllman's attempt in a
scmi-rigid dirigible. which came down 1000
miles off the American coast.
In the attempts of the last year. Nungesser
and Coli sacrificed their lives. the Fonck giant
Sikorsky plane went up in smoke. Commander
Noel Davis plane crashed in bog.

Most unfortunate OF all the tragedies, how.

each contributed its lesson to the designer, Of
airships and planes. From every failure the
aviation engineers have learned something that

Human Tongue Used i'm Ice Cream TESTS
10 Determine Best-Liked Ingredients

The human tongue is a better scien.
tlfic instrument than it is usually
credited with being. at least so far as
the great American dish. ice cream, IS
concerned. Recent experiments made
by the United States Department of
Agriculture indicate rather close
correspondence between the taste
test" of a large number of people and
the more precise determinations of
quality made by instrumental means.
The first test involved three ice
creams of varying butter fat content
These, containing IS, Is and IL per
cent were fed to so daily purchasers
for a period of 10 days. In each in
stance freezing and hardening condj
tions were alike, the consumer chang.
ing his choice at will. The result was
that SO per cent of the samplers ia
vored the Ice cream of 1S per cent but
ter fat content.
The second test proposed to show
whether or not sugar strongly affects
the palatability of ice cream. An eX-
pertinent was made with mixes con-
tanning 10. Is and Is per cent of cane
sugar. About 80 per cent of the con-
sumers preferred the 16 per cent COM
position.
The third experiment tested the ef-
feet OF non.fat milk solids on the pal.
atability of ice cream. For a period of
six weeks. three mixes of II, and
per cent non-fat milk solids were sold.
More than so per cent of the 1.1S5
sales showed a preference for per
cent non-fat milk solid rather than the
commercial ice cream with but 6 per
cent. q
