Yankee Doodle was fay ored by winds
which made it possible to maintain
speed OF / 40 miles an hour for the
entire distance; but considering that
within the memory of every mature,
person airplanes could not travel
that fast for more than few hours.
ii at all, II is no stretch of magma
ton to conclude that in Is more
years non stop flights across the con-

common as ordinary air hops are
today.
The flight was from west to east
and was eight hours faster than the

EASY ON THE PETERS

A story which originated in the
police department the other day re-
counted how citizen only partly
clad visited headquarters about mid
night with the complaint that a gang
of PETERS near his suburban home
were making so much noise that
they prevented him from going to
sleep,
Naturally the police hurried to
the designated spot and there
merely found an automobile in which
a couple was in a loving embrace,
/ but making 10 more audible noise
than signs of love. The couple ex-
! planned to the police that the noise
/ makers were others who had dc.
parted.
Then what did the police do? Ar.
rest the couple? No sir. or no
ma am. They did nothing of the
kind, Thy departed in peace, conf
dent that the original complainant
could sleep thereafter. TO be sure
they did tell the couple it was getting
rather late for petting, bu, that is
all. No threats; no good advice.
That was a caper that should suit
all but the ultra -fastidious We have
heard OF cops and constables who
possessed vastly less sense We have
even heard of constables who made
1t practice to sneak up on a parked
machine and suddenly flash light
on the unsuspecting couple, causing
much discontinue and usually re-
sulting in hard words and arrests,
Somehow, on hearing of such stories,
we never could work up much ad-
miration for the constables, or police.
or whatever they are it looked too
much like being peeping Toms Tie
test OF any such occurrence should |
be whether the flashlight hero con-.
the act an unpleasant duty
or whether it was done for enjoy
ment
The police in the instance referred
to, as stated, made no attempt to
rush the PETERS to the hoose gov. |
For which much thanks No, get no
wrong impression. We were not |
identified with this petting party. |

automobile he or she still retains the
