an address to America from London,
Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop

Endorsement of the Naval Treaty which

Bishop Freeman is in London attend

At the conclusion of the address, the
British announcer said that Bishop
Freeman would return to this country
in about four weeks.
Persons who heard Bishop Freeman's
voice coming into the Capital over Sta

as If he were delivering the address in
Washington. A group of friends heard
the broadcast in the WMAL Studio. It
was explained that there was a mini

unusual, because static conditions inter-

receptions outside of Washington. Sta

Overloaded Planes.

The result Of the official i1vestiga-
ton Of the tragic death Of Ruth Alex
ander. holder of the altitude record for
women, who crashed Just after taking
on from San Diego on q one-stop trans
continental dash, stresses again the
folly Of loading a plane with fuel to
point far beyond its capacity and
then attempting dangerous flight. The
noted avatrix was using q small, light
plane, designed only for hops Of short
duration. In order to accomplish her
purpose, however. Of spanning the
United States with only single stop
at wichita, she realized that additional
fuel was necessary. Accordingly. larger
tanks were installed and the tiny ship
was called. upon to carry o load Of a
hundred and seventeen gallons of gas
besides the pilot, far more than 1t was
ever designed to do. Sluggishly and
careening dangerously, the plane arose
from the field. but five minutes later
It was out OF control. and, in q steep
dive, crashed into q hiliock, killing its
pilot. The oficial findings are that
Mrs. Alexander met her death because

Gus enough without adding perils that
can easily be foreseen and obviated. The
care with which the big transport
companies protect the safety margin
in weight, even IN three-motored ships,
gives an idea Of the necessity for such
supervision II flying il to be surrounded

fore . ship takes on, and the total
poundage Is kept well within the ca
pacity Of the plane.
Flyers who essay long-distance nom
stop journeys. however. are not 80 care
full, and that is why so many Of them
have met death at the take-on or lust
afterward. Their ships are unwieldy
and do not respond properly to the
controls. Bromley, on his recent UNI
successful attempt to ny the Pacific,
succeeded in finding only one place in
Japan for the take-oh and was forced
to fly less than eighty feet above the
water In the first stages because his
heavily laden plane could not gain alti-
tude. Even the famous Col. Lindbergh
on his historic flight to France missed
death only by inches as he pulled his
Spirit Of st. Louis into the air to clear
the wires that surround Roosevelt Field.
Before Lindbergh other attempts were
made to cross the Atlantic and many
Of them ended In disaster because the
planes were strained beyond capacity
and refused to leave the ground. And
it was only the fact that Capt. Coste
and Maurice Bellonte were using q
motor Of six hundred and nifty horse
power that enabled them to get into
the air with their load of more than
eight hundred gallons Of gasoline for
their splendid flight from Paris to New
York.
Each airplane tragedy of this sort
teaches its lesson, and it is 9 lesson
that should be needed If aviation is to
win and hold public confidence.
