MISTAKES

MO MAN ever lived who did not
make mistakes. "To err Is hu-
man." Some one has said that half
the world is busy correcting the mis-
takes which the other half makes. If
we were all infallible, about half OF
done.
Making a mistake may not be very
serious matter. The fatality of mis-
take lies In two directions
First-An unwillingness to acknowl-
edge the mistake We have made. Try
ing to cover 1t up by lying; deception
In hundred different ways which
can be resorted to, Is cowardlce of the
worse sort. When you make mis-
take acknowledge 1t. no matter how
humiliating 1t may be. Be honest
about It, You will then win the ad-
mlration OF friends in spite Of your
stupidity. You will also avoid the
sneer and distrust of enemies
Second-Do not repeat a mistake. A
mistake may be curse turned into a
pASSSlhS. IL iuay save udhy luLulc
hazard. Only fool repeats the same
mistake. Doing q thing In the same
way somebody else did 1t, right or
wrong, is blind folly. Work out your
own salvation In terms Of your own
experience. Do not be afraid of
mistake which may occur In that ex.
perience. Be afraid of not frankly
acknowledging 1t and not profiting by It.
To make mistakes is pardonable, but
to make them over again is slip back
ward and to keep on making the same
mistakes means failure.
Experiments are performed In order
to ascertain the truth. Mistakes are
like experiments. He would be q poor
scientist who kept on experimenting
for truth he had already found Ap-
plying the truth discovered, La a prac-
tical way. is the better part Of wis
dom. Making constructive use OF the
knowledge which mistake has brought
to US not only enables us to avoid re-
peating 1t, but TO greatly profit by our
experience.

TRANS0CEANIC
FLIGHTS AGAIN
ARE DISCUSSED
Lieutenant Pond Plans to Fly
Around World - Hall to
Try Pacific Trip

San Francisco, April 6.-(AP)-
The open season on transoceanic and
world flights is here again.
Lieutenant Geo. r. Pond, U.S.N.,
who has announced plans for an at
tempt to fly around the world in "a
days in a specially designed mono-
plane, was at Modesto, Calf, today,
going forward with his project.
Lieutenant Bert Hall Of Bowling
Green, Ky, disclosed in New York
last night that he would try solo
nonstop flight from Seattle, WASH,
to Tokyo 1900 miles late this
month or early in May. Lieutenant
Hall said if his Aanspacific flight
should be successful he would con-
tinue on around the world from
Tokyo.
1t was understood that Captain
Charles Kingsford- Smith, Australian
flyer, Lieutenant Ponds partner in
four attempts to break the worlds
endurance record here recently, prob
ably would accompany him.
Pond expects to start from New
York, flying to Europe, across Asia
to Yokohama, thence to San Fran
cisco and back to New York again.
He is making test flights in a giant
monoplane at Modesto.
If Lieutenant Hall flies from
Seattle to Japan he will find a pot
of gold, $27,500 worth, at the end
of the hop. This is in the form Of
prize offered by the Seattle chap
ter of the National Acronautic as
sociation and the imperial Japanese
government.
