FLIGHT Of DAWN
AWAITS WEATHER
Mrs. Grayson Denies She Has
Financial Worries, but
Stresses Safety.

| BY the Associated Press.
OLD ORCHARD, Me-, October 20
Neither money nor weather is worry
| ing Mrs. Frances Wilson GraySon and
her companions here as they wait for
the first favorable opportunity to take
off for Copenhagen in their mono
| plane, Dawn.
Frequent postponements Of their
| fight since early in September have
not affected the expeditions plane,
and the vital factor of safety alone
will determine when the big amphibian
will wing it's way eastward.
The former Long Island real estate
operator whose flying is backed finan.
cially by Mrs. Aage Ancker of Co
penhagen and Aiken, S. G., made
intentions clear when she announced
that 600 more gallons Of special gas
oline were on their way from New
York to replace the fuel lost when
two tanks had to be emptied in the
forced landing of the ship on its at
tempted start last Monday.
Cold, raw weather seems to have
definitely precluded any possibility OF
a take-off before Saturday or Sunday,
and in the meantime, the crew will de-
vote its time to tests, correction of the
landing gear retraction and weighing
of the plane.
Brice Goldsborough, the Dawn's
navigator estimates that on the basis
of past averages, two weeks are left
in which weather ought to be mild
enough to permit the transatlantic
flight. Should Winter set in in earn
est, postponement of the attempt until
Spring would be inevitable.
Mrs Grayson settled the financial
question with you can forget that"
to a newspaper mans inquiry if the
cost of the expedition might not de-
termine how long 1t could remain
af1eld.
She revealed that the charges to
date had been more than $4,000. but,
she added, finances are not a factor

Construction of fleet of fast pas.

A speed of 35 knots was indicated
by the tests.

The Army Air Corps few years
ago started the publication OF special
aerial maps and aeronauticaf bulletins
for the information of the pilot. Such
information may now be obtained
from the Aeronautics Branch Of the

informed of airways although he may
not previously have travelled the par

Many Of our foremost scientists
recommend the use Of Nujol as a
harmless corrective and preven-
tive. For Nujol does both things
for you because it has the pecu-
liar quality Of not being absorbed
by the system at all. But Nujol
does absorb body poisons. Car

culties. If taken faithfully Nujol

Airways and Airports.

lied airways to the same degree that

port is dependent upon we'll dehned

sand or more feet above its ''airway.
route between two cities, properly
organized with emergency landing
fields at certain intervals, is defined
as an airway. These fields have
means of communication from one
to another and are equipped with aids
| to aviation. including service for air
craft. heaconS for day and night travel
and operating personnel.
The terrain along and adjacent to
/ the modern airWay is provided with
a proper system of markings as an
| aid to the pilot in the event that poor
visibility makes 1t difficult for him to
navigate by widely separated land
marks. For example, these markings,
drawn on permanent buildings, may
consist of the names of the towns in
which the buildings are located.
Best on Buildings.
Experience has shown that these
markings are picked up more readily
by the pilot If they are on buildings
along the railroad rights Of way.
Steps have been taken by various
railroads within the last five years
to assist the Army Air Corps in estab'
fishing such markings. Recently the
aeronautics branch of the Department
of Commerce has undertaken to inter-
est commercial organizations and
others in the installation of such
markings.
In certain localities automobile serv-
ice stations are painting the name OF
their town on the roofs of their build
ings. In California and other West.
ern States an oil company has ar
ranged with it's various stations to
have painted on the roof of its larger
buildings the name of the town to
which it is adjacent.
AS further organization for the spe
cific purpose of aiding night flying,
illuminated beacons are installed along
the airway. the beacons varying In
size according to the distance from
other beacons and depending upon the
nature of the country over which the
airway is laid. Large arc light bea-
cons are installed usually at intervals
of not more than 100 miles. At inter-
walls of 20 to 25 miles an incandescent
bulb beacon is installed. At still
shorter intervals on certain airways.
small flashing beacons are utilized, not
only for keeping the pilot directly on
the course, but also as an aid in keep
ing him informed of possible landing
areas, the areas being located near
the beacons whenever possible.

intermediate Field Problems

The problem of intermediate fields
along the airway is very important.
as there must be facilities on which
aircraft may land in the event that
unforeseen obstacles should arise,

fields normally are at maximum of

LIBERTY AND THE LAW

constantly allege that the Eighteenth
Amendment is an unwarranted and mis-
chievous interference with the personal
4 liberty OF the citizen. In their opinion the
drys are bigoted fanatics, determined to
compel all others to conform to their
standard by Procrustean methods. Some,
I like the Chicago Tribune, even maintain
that unless there is a plenteous flow of
beer and light wines we are not free AL
coho is the only true lberatorl When
alcohol is kept out of the veins of our
people, freedom is "cribbed, conined, and
confined but when it is allowed to cir
culate freely in the human system, its
stewed and half-stewed victims will be
free indeed
There are queer possibilities of vision.
A cavity may appear to be convexity, a
hump TO be a hollow. Those who see
syranny in the amendment are blind to
the tyranny of alcohol; yet the slavery
which held men and women and children
as mere chattels was more merciful than
antly beset to reinstate the glozing old
tyrant in the sacred name of lbertyl
! Montesquieu says: Liberty is a right
OF doing whatever the laws permit, and
! If citizen could do what they forbid, he
would no longer be possessed of liberty,
because all his fellow citizens would have
the same power" He quotes Cicero as
saying, I'VE are all slaves of the laws to
make possible our freedom" 1t Is evil
dent we cannot dispense with laws.
That would be anarchy, the despotism of
political chaos.
Where does the individual get his lib
erty? 1t was not born with him any more
than his clothes. 1t has taken genera
tons to wrest it from despots and it is
vested in the state How long, reader,
would your personal liberty last, if there
were no government back of it? But the
government must protect rights as we'll as
liberties, and my liberty must not trench
on my neighbours rights. My neighbor
may have rights which he has long failed
to assert such, for example, as the right
to fence in an open field of his which it
has been very convenient for me to cut
across. By the exercise of that right he
puts me to some Inconvenience, but have
/ any real grievance? Though the traffic
in liquors is no such inocuous matter,
there is parallel. Uncle Sam has put
\ up fence around long neglected field OF
< his, across which the trafickers in poison
OTIS beverages had found short cut to
wealth, and wall arises that it is an in
vision of personal liberty.
A workingman came home intoxicated
and, because his twelve-year-old daugh-
ter did not have his supper ready, burned
of both her hands on a red hot stove. He
and the saloonkeeper exercised their per-
"sonal liberty but what became of the
little girls right to the two hands God
gave her? An exceptional case? Only in
the peculiar form of the abuse inflicted.
Thousands of children were underfed,
half-clad, cursed with an evil inheritance,
and brought up in vicious environments
because their fathers or, in some cases,
Their mothers. made use of their personal
