Because we have been asked in- numerable times by Connecticut people for some facts about the SAP, the giant flying boat con- structed at the Sikorsky Aviation plant in Stratford, we dedicate a goodly portion of this weeks sky notes to those men who construct ed the huge boat and then took time to compile these facts.
 On the record flight for greatest payload made last April the S-42 carried 16,608 pounds of payload exclusive of crew, fuel, etc. This would be equivalent to carrying 93 passengers or seven Ford roadsters or two empty Boeing airliners such as flew in the England to Australia air race.
 There are approximately 57.000 rivets in the outer surface Of the wing; 90,000 in the exterior sur- face of the hull; and a total of ap- proximately 100000 rivets in the complete plane. Placed end to end, as our friend says, they would reach more than three miles
 There are 2,S00 square feet of sheet metal covering the wing and 1,462 square feet covering the hull "a total of 5.262 square feet for the entire ship. Laid flat on the ground this would cover three city lots.
 During the flight and acceptance tests at the factory, approximately 5,650 miles were flown. This is equivalent to a round trip from New York to San Francisco. The sound proofing is made of rub- berized, sterilized vermin proofed animal hair.
 Half million pounds of ballast were loaded in and out of the air. liner by hand during the flight tests at Stratford.
 Over one and a quarter miles of control cables are used to control the engines, props, gasoline valves. ailerons and elevators.
 One wing tip float has sufficient Notation to make a comfortab ble four-place outboard motor boat.
 Over 1,500 square feet of Ameri- can walnut veneer Is used in the finish of the passenger compart- ments.
 Slightly over one mile of electric wiring is used in each of the S-42 planes.
 There are almost million and a half detail parts in the S-42, ex. cluding engines and props.
 The anchor weighs 200 pounds, sufficient for a moderate sized yacht.
 Approximately 500 gallons of paint Is used to paint one plane, in- cluding primer, lacquer, bituminous paint and dope. This is enough to paint sixty average sized cot tages, one coat each.
 The S-42 can compete with some of our beet citizens for having posed for the cameras. The rec- ords show that the shutters clicked for s75 photographs during the progress of construction and tests.

Dinner at Eight?

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
A says the days meals are
named or called as follows:
Breakfast, luncheon and sup
per. B says they are break
fast. luncheon and dinner.
We are everyday working
people, but we would like to
learn as we go along. A thinks
when you have your breakfast.
your luncheon at noon, and
your supper at 6 or 7 o'clock
in the evening, it should be
called supper, as this is the
last meal. If you should have
another meal after that, then
the 6 or z o'clock meal would
be called dinner and the last
meal supper. But why do
most people call it dinner
when it is the last meal?
This is just a question Of
the general use Of these words.
Usually we name the three
meals breakfast, luncheon, and
dinner. Even if the evening
meal is served at an early hour
and is the informal family
meal, it is still usually referred
to as dinner.
When there is a service Of
food later in the evening, say
after q bridge party or at a
dance or after the theater, We
speak Of this as supper.

Guests of Guests

Dear Mrs. Beekman:
My mother a ID father re-
ceived an invitation to a recep-
ton. This invitation also in
cluded me. However I have
been going with a young lady
for a year or so, but the person
who is giving the party is I'M
aware of this, as 1 have not seen
them for some time.
Would I be justified in taking
my friend to this reception with
out further procedure, or should
I write and ask for the privilege
Of bringing her? BEN.
The thing to do. and it is
very often done. is to write to
the hostess and ask her per-
mission to bring your friend to
the party. am sure that she
will be delighted to send her an
invitation.

so, when? What is the proper
thing to say? S.
Yes, it is the best man
usually who proposes a toast
to the bride ana groom, and
the groom responds for both
his bride and himself. The
toast is usually something like
this, Here's to Jill and Jack
may they always walk with
happiness" or Here's to Mary
and Tom. may their pathway
always be a happy one" or
ITO Florence and George. :.
may I speak for their relatives
and friends with the wish that
all the days of their lives be
full of happiness and joy and
contentment."

This was o leap into the I'M

to take this leap: he went out to meet
it, for he knew that the army wanted

to peace; for he knew that such q
method Of establishing peace must

the desire for peace on all fronts
without exception.
1t is well known that Lenin's rev.
dictionary foresight on this occasion
was also confirmed later with the ut
most precision.
Brilliant foresight, the ability rapid
ly to catch and appreciate the inner
sense Of impending eyents-this is the
feature 70 Lenin that enabled him to
outline the correct strategy and q
clear line Of conduct Of the turning
points Of the revolutionary movement.

termined struggle against social
chauvinism and social-pacifism, who
exposed the treachery of Guesdes and
Kautskys and condemned the half
heartedness of intermediary "revolu-
tionaries" Lenin realized that he had
an insignificant minority behind him;
but he did not regard this as matter
Of decisive Importance, for he knew
that the only correct policy which had
future before it was the policy Of
consistent internationalism, for he
knew that policy based on principle
was the only correct policy.
1t is well know that in this contest
for new International Lenin turned
out to be the victor.
"a policy based on principle is the
only correct policy"-this is the for
mula with which Lenin stormed new
"invincible" positions and won over
the best elements of the proletariat to
the side Of revolutionary Marxism.

astonishing patience and unparalleled
persistence, fought against all and
sundry anti-Party trends in the labor
movement and defended the Party
principle with unparalleled courage
and unprecedented persistence.
1t is well known that in this fight
for the Party principle Lenin later
proved victorious.
Second fact. The period of 1914-17,
the period when the imperialist war
was at its height, when all, or nearly
all, the Social-Democratic and Social
iSt parties, giving way to the univer-
sal patriotic intoXication went into
the service Of the imperialism of their
respective countries. That was the
period when the Second International
lowered its flag to capital, when even
people like Plekhanov, Kautsky,
Guesde and others failed to withstand
the wave of chauvinism. Lenin at
that time was the only one, or almost
the only one, who commenced a de-

from the fact that bourgeois democracy
offers o3portunisrn the best conditions
for building itself up as the chief
social support Of the dictatorship of
the bourgeoisie But social democracy
will not fight for the maintenance
Of even bourgeois democracy when the
alternative to it is either fascism or
the proletarian revolution. And, in
asnlueh as the new stage in the gen
eral crisis Of capitalism confronts the
proletariat of the capitalist world
ever more urgently with the alter
native of either fascism and war or
the proletarian revolution and the die
tatorship of the proIetariat, social
democracy chooses the lesser evil"
for itself which is fascign, interven-
ton, and imperialist war.

the lines on the palm Of his hand.
It was not for nothing that it used to
be said in our Party circles tina.
"Ilyich Is able to swim in the waves
Of revolution like fish in water"
Hence the astonishing" clarity Of
Lenin's tactical slogans, the breath
less" audacity Of his revolutionary de-
signs.
I remember two particularly char
aeteristic facts which revealed this Pc
culiar feature Of Lenin's.
First fact. The period before the
October uprising, when millions Of
workers, peasants and soldiers, dashed
by the crisis in the rear and at the
front, demanded peace and liberty;
when the militarists and the bour-
geoisie were preparing for military
dictatorship in order to pursue the
war TO the bitter end; when the
whole Of so-called public opinion, +"
all the so-caued Socialist parties"
were opposed TO the Bolsheviks,
charged them with being German
spies; when Kerensky tried, and to
some extent succeeded, in driving the
Bolshevik Party underground; when
the still powerful, disciplined army Of
the Austro- German coalition stood
confronting our weary and disin-
tegrating armies, and when the West
European Socialists" lived in happy
alliance with their governments for
the purpose of pursuing the war to
final victory" -.
What did raising a rebellion mean
at that time? Raising a rebellion In
such circumstances meant stalking
everything on this one card. But
Lenin did not fear to take the risk,
because he knew, he saw with his
prophetic eye, that rebellion was in
evitable, that rebellion would be VIC
toriouS, that rebellion in Russia would
prepare for the end Of the inperialist
war, the rebellion in Russia would
arouse the tortured masses of the
West, that rebellion in Russia would
transform the imperialist war into
civil war, that rebellion would give
rise to republic OF Soviets, that
republic of Soviets would serve as a
bulwark for the revolutionary move
ment of the whole world.
1t is well known that Lenin's rev.
dictionary foresight was afterwards
confirmed with unprecedented preci-
sion.
Second fact. During the first days
after the October Revolution, when
the Council of Peoples Commissars
tried to compel the mutinous general,
Commander-in- Chief Dukhonin, to
cease military operations and open
negotiations for truce with the
Germans, I remember that Lenin,
Krylenko 1.-THE future Commander in
Chief and went TO General Military
Headquarters in Petrograd to speak
on the direct wire to Dukhonin. The
situation was very tense. Dukhonin
and the General Staff categorically
refused to carry out the orders Of the
Council Of Peoples CommissarS. The
army officers were entirely In the
hands of the General Staff. AS for
the soldiers, 1t was impossible to FORE
tell what the twelve million army,
