made successful flights. It is similar in type of the flying boats already in service for Imperial Airways It is 8 high wing cantilever monoplane with four Bristol Pegasus radial engines.
 Over the tip of the hull are two tall pylons of steel tube, connected by a cross beam, to support the cen- tral keel of the Seaplane. Two lesser pylons on either side steady the floats of the seaplane. In the center of the main pylon system is the ap- paratus for attachment and release of the seaplane.
 Before separation can take place, the pilot in each machine must re- lease a hook. The pilots aer in communication by telephone and re- lease is thus arranged for the same moment.
 Final release is automatic through aerodynamic forces affectinng the two aircraft. Their wing sections are constructed in such a manner that at given forward speed they tend to separate.
 The upper section, which the fly ing boat carries on it's back is a four -engined float seaplane.
 Normal weight of this section is estimated at 10000 pounds, about 10000 for fuel and oil and 100 for pay loads. The seaplane has four Napier air-cooled engines developing 1280 horsepower, in all. It is calcu- lated that with it's full load, 1t will

It's regarded as revou- tionary in the industry and boon to beer-drinkers
 The inventor, Professor s. Peter Barracca, first tackled the idea of preserving the foam beer from the beverage tself but his suggestion to brewers that an ingredient be introduced in the brewing process caused master brewers to ,shudder. So Professor Barracca tackled the glass itself And he found that by sand blasting the bottom the desired result produced And he also found that he could sandblast design into the glass bottom which would be conveyed through bubbles to the foam at the top of the glass; Professor, you sound like fortune ready-made.

be bale to go 5000 miles with a cruis- ing speed of from 160 to 170 miles an hour.
 The combined aircraft have about 5000 horsepower, lifting weight of about 45,000 pounds.
 This is the weight that thhe Cal- edonia and Cambria now lift easily and unaided in their experimental flight across the ocean. The Mayo composite craft is expected to rise to 10000 feet. Then the separation will take place and the seaplane will continue on its own power. The seaplane is lifted on the flying boat by means of crane or gantry.
 The lower section is fitted for use as an ordinary passenger flying boat.
 The invention is not limited to its present form. Either section can be 8 land plane, seaplane or an am- phibian. It would open up the uos- sibility of number of mother ships" like the Maia, busy night and day launching a great stream of planes capable of cruising for $500 miles with a deadly load of high explosive bombs against any enemy.

 London, Oct. 20-British civilian and military aviation experts-and foreign military air attacks in Eng land as welfare looking forward with intense interest to the general use of the Mayo composite aircraft.
 This new type of double machine, it is believed, will not only revolu- tionize the air transport of mails be- tween England and America and Canada, but it may make possible one-night passenger trips between the two countries, and wide eX- tension of offensive power for nili- tary aircraft.
 Briefly the experiment is 8 flying boat carrying on it's back seaplane which is catpulted into the air, the seaplane then going away on its own power. The advantage, compared with the ordinary catapult, is that the seaplane operates with load that it could not handle alone with it's engine power.
 The idea of the machine came from Major R. H. Mayo, technical general manager of the Imperial Airways. Practical work of building the craft has been conflded to Short Brothers of Rochester, famous for their passenger flying boats.
 The lower half of the experiment tai craft has been called the Maia. It is already completed and has

When you were very young And wore your hair in curl, Did you envy your big sister Who resembled the Gibson Girl? Didn't you just love
 Her collars so high, Her tailored ShirtwaiStS, Her hatpins, oh my! When you were very young Didn't you just loathe your bangs, And your best challis dress? Oh, recall the bangs Of envy at yur older sisters Manipulation of high pompadour, How you longed for watch and pm And bone and shell hairpins galore!

When you were very young, And wore bangs and curls then, Did you ever think that at fifty You'd adopt that style again?
