load amounting to several tons to Europe over the route made famous by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh.
 With normal stopping periods in- cuded, ship of this type could fly from New York to London in about 33 hours, averaging 160 miles an hour. That is less than the time required to go from New York to Chicago and back by rail. The traveller could leave New York late Saturday night and be in London in time to start the business week first thing Monday morning.
 Instead of pilot and co-pilot, like our land transport planes have, the clipper ship has a captain and navi- gator, for 1t is an ocean-going vessel

'HE world, with America Tn the
 lead, is entering a new and glorious era of transportation. It might be called the Era of Realization of the Fantastic.
 Not so many years ago-in fact with in the memory of children still in school-covers of magazines of the so- called "science" and Invention type were filled with artists startling con ception of great flying palaces, then weird in appearance, which were to tie l together the far ends of the earth in the future Blase passengers were shown reading newspapers, playing chess or even shuffle-board while their great winged carriers cleft the clouds far above the vast expanses of ocean.
 Novels of highly imaginative fiction, typified by the "Mars' stories of Ed gar Rice Burroughs, bristled our where the members of scientifically su- perior civilizations flew about the faces of their respective planets in spectacular hops of thousands of miles at time.
 Such wild literary entertainment we were wont, for fear of appearing too silly to our neighbors, to leave in up. stairs bedrooms, reserving the space on the library table for Dickens, Thackeray, Edgar A. Guest and the family Bible. And while deep in our hearts we thought 1t was "swelp' read ing, we knew that it was really i'm possible stuff!'
 Yet, before the year is out, regular scheduled passenger service will be in effect between the United States and China. Not flying palaces, perhaps, but at least flying hotels will soon link the newest and most progressive of the great powers with the oldest and most of the world. Surprising enough, the giant ships of the air look very much like the artists conceptions which graced the sensational press of few years back. Most surprising of all, we accept the real thing with far less amazement than we did its imaginative fOrerunner.
 Now that the New Era is actually upon us, we accept with little wonder the fact that German engineers are planning the construction of trans atlantic air liner that will carry 1,500 persons. This flying boat will be lit- erally hotel on wings. It will sacri- fee none of the comforts of the great ocean liners, with their sport decks entertainment facilities, etc.
 Ship Cars by Air.
 There will be elevators from deck to deck. There will be room for tray elers to take their own automobiles across the sea with them. Garages will be provided for these; special hoist ing machinery will lift the cars up into the plane.
 The ocean steamship has its supply of life boats to turn loose from the mother ship in case of emergency at sea, and the proposed flying boat will not be outdone in this respect, either, for room will be provided to house smaller auxiliary planes. These will take off from the surface of the body of the great plane, being speeded or their way over the sea by powerful catapult which will assure their get ting into the air.
 This ship may sound little fan tastic to us, but by this time we arc used to having fantastic new contrap tions accepted as practical facts al

 No. is truly a symbol of the steps ahead which have been made In trans continental air travel. France Is link ing up even its most distant colonies with the French capital by means of ships of this size, one of which has already been completed, the Lieut.-de- Vaisseau-Paris. This ship is the larg- est seaplane In the world, with a wngspread of nearly 50 meters and engines which develop more than 52oo horsepower. It weighs 37 tons and has a crew of eight. It has several first class cabins, each with two beds ana private bath.
 Service has already started between the French capital and points in French Colonial Africa. The Neither. lands have ordered new Douglas planes for transcontinental lines. Service has been going along on schedule for some time between the United States and various South American points served by Pan-American Airways. The Graf Zeppelin is so regular in its schedule between Germany and Brazil that no one mentions it's arrivals and depar- lures any more.
 Since early this year, American ships have been busy carrying sup plies of all kinds-food, clothing, cows, chickens, tools and building materials to once isolated islands in the Pa cfc ocean, so that they can be con- verted into habitable landing stations in the most important of all the new sea routes, the one from the United States to China.
 The longest hop on this journey will be the one from California to Hawaii, a distance of 2,4OO miles, to be cov- cred in a little more than 17 hours, as the Pan-American clipper con- handed by Captain Musick covered it few weeks ago. From Hawaii, the planes will hop to Guam, Wake, Mid way, the Philippine islands and Can ton, China.
 Russian Marvel Crashes
 With all the clipper ships considered, perhaps the most unusual of all the giants of the air was the ill-fated Rus sian ship, the Maxim Gorki. It weighed AZ tons, carried 63 persons, had eight engines of total of 1000 horsepower, flew 15O miles an hour and cost $4,- 35O,OOO. In it were complete photo- graphic studio, photo engraving plant, an electrically driven rotary printing press capable of turning out 5000 newspapers an hour, a radio broad- casting studio, talking movie equip ment, restaurant-lounge, 16 tele- phones, an observation saloon, business offices, sleeping quarters and a sound amplifier system. It was used, of course, for Soviet propaganda pur- poses.
 The crashing of the Gorki, with the loss of everyone aboard, during ma neuvers over Moscow, was something of a shock to the builders of all large airplanes. It must be pointed out, however, that the accident was no fault of the ship. pilot of smaller plane, stunting against orders, ran into it. head-on. The insubOrdinate fiier was himself killed in the crash
 Not even the sensational magazines predicted such unbelievable wonders as flying newspaper plant, radio studio and moving picture theater. @ Western Newspaper Union

 CTS promise us that such a flying ship as this will be ready for travel over the ocean in the very near future.
 Hardly less spectacular Is the Amer ican marvel of the skyways, Flying Clipper No. 2, which is now completed as the first ship ever designed spe- officially for transoceanic travel. It will begin service, probably on the route across the Pacific, some time this summer. It is now finishing tests which so far have proved 1t to be equal to the bullying of the elements and the once forbidding distance be- tween continents. With its inception into service the period of pure expert ment will be over.
 None of the comforts of rail travel need be sacrificed aboard the clipper. Soundproofing of all passenger con- partments reduces motor noise so that it Is no greater than the unannOying noise of pullman car. The passen- ger deck, 43 feet long, has ceiling six and one-half feet high, so that even tall men need not stoop in walk ing.
 Thirty passengers and a crew of five can be carried. The spacious lounge and dining room seats 16 at time. For sleeping, the passenger seats can be converted into 12 single and six double berths; in case of "full house" there are four double berths available in the lounge.
 The clipper has four engines, whose 3,200 developed horsepower can climb 1000 feet minute with a load of 51,- GOO pounds. The planes cruising speed at 12,OOO feet is 163 miles an hour, but 1t can do 1SO and more if neces- sary. It can soar more than four miles high.
 Safety Clipper Watchword.
 Safety has been the watchword in the design of the clipper. If one of three could finish the flight, carrying the 51,000-pound burden. Even if two of them should go dead at the same time, the remaining two would main tain the altitude long enough to allow the captain and his men an oppor- tunity to make ready for any emer- gencies.
 The sea holds no terrors for this re- markable ship. It could make forced landing in stormy sea with more ease than the gray gull 1t resem- bles. It can land or take off in sea with waves running five feet high.
 Former clipper ships have been as- sisted in the water by pontoons sus- pended from the wings. No. has a supporting device, new to American de- sign, which is called a "sponsoOn" and might be likened to an additional wing. This sticks out short distance from each side of the body at water level. It serves to house the fuel tanks, also.
 The No. is larger in every respect than the clipper ship which recently flew from California to Hawaii and back again. The latter's four engines are each of TOO horsepower, totaling 400 less than the No. :. It has 114- foot wing spread, weighs 19,0O0 pounds empty, 40,000 pounds loaded, and its maximum cruising range is 5000 miles.
 The new clippers wings are 13O feet from tip to tip. It weighs 23, 100 pounds empty and can add a useful load of 27,9OO pounds. Its maximum range is 4,0OO miles. If mileage be- tween stops were reduced, the ship could carry 24 passengers and pay

ARMAMENT PLANK
URGED BY BONE
Washington Senator Pre-
pares Program for Adop-
ton by Democrats.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Assoclateo PreSS.
Senator Bone, Democrat, of Wash
ington. a member of the Senate NUM-
tions Committee, announced today he
would fight to have the Democratic
platform include plans advocating ma
tionalization of warship building and
some arms manufacture and the en-
actment of permanent neutrality legis-
lation.
He declared his action had the
approval of Chairman Nye, Repub-
lican, of North Dakota, and Senator
Clark, Democrat, of Missouri.
His munitions plank, tentatively
worded, would call for such national
ization as will give the Government
a monopoly in fsbricating war mu-
nitionS and instrumentalities into their
final form for combat purposes"
He made clear this would include
naval vessels, arms and ammunition
used by the Army and Navy and
would apply during peace as we'll
as war.
This step would make the Gov
ernment sensitive to public reaction
on these matters" Bone said. THE
people would be watching what the
Government is doing instead Of the
Government wondering what the
munitions interests are doing.
And don't forget the country
will save some money"
In explaining his proposed neu-
trality plank. he said;

THAT night the villagers wiggled
into their dress suits strongly
scented with moth balls. The town
OF Shelley had never before seen such
a complete turnout Of hnery. The
dinner was over without miShaps and
the speeches were now under way. The
mayor spoke on indefinitely. The
representative of the Commission OF
Public Works had his turn and was
followed by the representative of the
Bureau of Public Control. Eventually
Bill Shelley was introduced. Most of
the guests had to be awakened by
this time.
My friends. you do me great honor
this evening" Shelley began. This
is perfect. but for one thing: my
friend, Jim Bates is not here"
"Oh. yes he is" interrupted the
man in question. I'm here to tell
you and these people just what kind
of scoundrel you are, Bill Shelley.
II take you down peg or two"
Suppose you let me do that, Jim
Bates. I'm better able. AS 1 was
saying. my friends, this honor that
you give me is not mine alone. Half
belongs to Jim Bates. Perhaps he is
more deserving. When left here 80
years ago, I owed Jim his share of our
lumber yard. I've returned to tell him
today that we're still partners. I am
wealthy now and president of a large
company. Without his money I could
have done nothing. invested it with
my own. Half Of what I have today
is rightfully his
The hall was in an uproar. Bates
was stunned. They hustled him UP
next to Shelley and demanded
speech. He stammered and finally got
out few words:
T-ah-gee. folks! This is 20 sud-
den-but it sure is fair. Shel, you're
not 50 bad after all. Say, by the way,
what company is it we own?"
