FOR so small Rabbit, only a few

learning fast. Watching RedLy Fox
chase Old Jed Thumper, the gray
old Rabbit Of the Old Pasture. he
knew this relocated stranged, who
looked so handsome and talked 80
smoothly, for what he was-an enemy
to be watched out for. II he would
run 50 hard to try to catch that old
Rabbit, he would be sure not to miss
chance to catch an innocent little
Rabbit. So hereafter Petey would
always be on the watch for Z red

safety.
Petey had discovered, or thought
he had discovered, that people much
bigger than himself were dangerous
and to be greatly feared. Reddy Fox,
for instance, and Mrs. Marsh Hawk

Somehow he had known that she
would just as gladly have caught
him. So he made up his mind that
he should be afraid Of anybody and
everybody bigger than himself.
So far Reddy Fox was the big
gest person he had seen and he just
couldn't imagine anybody bigger than
Reddy. You see, compared with 4
little fellow no bigger than your fist,
Reddy was truly giant. And then

Longer Life for
Working Glasses
Has Been Gained

New York.-Longer life for
the working classes in this
country has been gained during
the past quarter Of century as
a result of public health activi-
ties, a report of the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance company
shows.
The expectation of life at birth
for the industrial policyholders OF
this company crossed the 60 year
mark for the first time in 1885. In
= 1911 the expectation of life at birth
for this class of the population was
only 1888 years whereas now it is
60.25 years.
Expectation of life at birth for the
working classes is now almost as
good as for the population as a
whole, it appears from comparison
= on the life insurance figures with
those of the United States registra-
ton area. For the whole population,
in 1884, life expectation at birth was
60.25 years.
The gain in life expectation of the
insured wage earners appears even
more striking when compared with
: urban jewellers rather than with
the population as whole. This is a
fairer comparison, the life insurance
statisticians point out, because the
insured wage earners live chiefly in
cities. White males af age ten in the
urban area of the United States
gained 1896 years of life from 1910
: to 1880, while white male industrial
policyholders at the same age gained
CIT years from 1911-12 to 1880. At
the same age white females in the
industrial policyholder group gained
a year more than those in the urban
urea of the United States.
Credit Given Health Authorities.
The gain in life expectation for
the industrial class is all the more
striking and encouraging because

fury that included the World war,
the devastating 1919 influenza cpl
demic and the economic depression,
each of which greatly affected the
lives and health of the population.
Commenting on this, the life in
surance officers compliment the
health authorities of the country as
follows:
Throughout this quarter century,
and in the face of the calamities
mentioned, those charged with the
administration of our public health
activities have maintained scienti-
lie attitude toward their duties. Cur
rent discoveries in medicine and
sanitary science have been applied
as soon as they had demonstrated
heir worth. The results are uh-
ioubtedly reflected in the highly
gratifying figures that have b e q

For Transatlantic flight commu-
nications, Pan American has two.
stations, one at Port Washington
and one at Shediac, from which
long-distance bearings can be made.
The British air ministry has sta
tons at Botwood and Southampton,
and the Irish Free State has one at
Foynes.
On each of the great flying boats
there is a smaller station. These
enable the crews to take bearings
on themselves from shore stations
or from ships they meet en- route.
When a plane calls for bearings
the task requires plenty of dex-
terity and cooperation from the
shore stations and the crew to get
them back in time to do any good.
These systems usually work in the
following manner: The radio on the
flying boat sends out constant
stream of signals. These are picked
up by the. shore station; the direc-
ton from which they are coming is
determined from the movement of
the receiving stations antenna The
shore station then sends out a bear
ing. In the same way, the ship
gets bearings from one or more sta
tons. The spot upon which the
ship is flying is the spot at which
all the bearings cross.
It was indeed triumph for COM
mercial aviation that, in the first
flight, the weather and communica-
tons plans worked out as well as or
better than expected.
On July 6, 1887, two flights were
completed. The Caledonia left
Foynes and landed at Botwood Is
hours and minutes later. The Clip
per III made the crossing from west
to east in IL hours and 40 minutes.
An 'Uneventful" Journey.
Almost every prediction the mete-
biologists made came true. Where
their maps had said there would
be wind and rain, the pilots found
wind and rain. Patches of fog were
in the sky where they were on the
map. 1t was said by the experts
that this was one of the most sue
cessful weather charts ever pre-
pared for a great flying venture.
Radio communications worked out
beautifully, too.
Interesting were the different alti-
tudes at which the two ships few.
Capt. H. E. Gray, commander of
the Clipper, described his trip as an
uneventful one, and indeed a small
one, compared with some of those
to which he was accustomed above
the Pacific. He reported flying al
most the entire distance at 10000
feet, with the clouds below them and
the sun shining brightly nearly all
the way after daybreak. He had
the advantage of a 25-mile tailwind.
The Caledonia fought an 18-mile
headwind the entire distance, max
ing the whole flight through thick
clouds and occasional rain at 1000
feet.
The two ships passed each other
when they were 81 miles apart. All
the way over the ocean they were in
constant communication with each

Always they talk about my dear de-
parted husband and l live through
the torments of having to face the
hard realities of the future alone.
Today a friend came to see me
and not once during the whole time
did she mention my trouble. She
spoke of the things that had been
happening in the outside world with
which she knew | must have grown
out of touch, and when she left l
felt very much cheered. This seems
good point to make in your col

would cooperate in making the
world a more comfortable place for
those in real sorrow. l feel sure
that most people think they should
talk about the departed one when
paying such visit.
Answer: l am very glad indeed
to make the point you suggest, al
though it seems almost unbelievable
that anyone could be so insensitive
as to speak to people about their
really great sorrow further than to
reply to whatever they themselves
may say. Even they Who do talk
about the one they have lost would
be more greatly comforted by q
person who listens with sympathy
and perhaps says something appre-

but it almost always causes pain to
be asked questions or to have the
subject pursued by the visitor.

The consistent absence of incident
in these experimental crossings is
not due to a phenomenal string of
good luck, nor to a long series of
condolences. 1t is a direct tribute
to the meteorologist-the weather
man." For it is he who maps out
the course the craft shall follow.
Commercial flights over land are
made along regularly charted air.
ways. These are marked by radio
beams and beacon markers whose
signals provide a path" or num-
Der of "paths" from which there is
no deviation except under extraordi-
nary conditions. Radio provides a
track through the sky; the fact that
the track is invisible does not alter
the fact that it is there.
But for spanning the Atlantic
ocean there is no definite, radio
marked airlane. There is "great-
circle" course which is the short
est distance between landing points,
but weather conditions prohibit it's
being followed exactly in most
cases. The great circle course over
the Atlantic includes a nonstop
flight of some 1000 miles. AS far
as distance is concerned, this is not
as long a hop as the Pacific flight
from San Francisco to Hawaii,
which is 2,4O0 miles.
Leave Nothing to Chance.
The Clipper ships on the Pacific
route fly by weather maps, too. And
although the weather there is far
less turbulent than over the North
Atlantic, the Clippers, in two years
of flying, have followed the Pacific
great circle course only three
times. They have flown the course
which follows the best flying wealth
er, as forecast by the weather bu-
reau. Crews are willing, even anx-
ious, to fly much longer distance
than the great-circle course if the
longer flight will insure favorable
winds, pleasanter weather and
speedier flying.
The ships most important in the
present pioneering are the Pan
American Clipper III, and the Brit
ish Caledonia (the latter is now
supplemented by a sister ship, the
Cambria). Both have four engines
apiece. They have been carrying
large crews, each member a spe-
cialist in some phase of flying, such
as navigation or communications.
They have transported more than
sufficient fuel supplies to take care
of errors in navigation or unex-
pected and sudden weather condi-
tons which were not likely to be
accounted for by their aerial wealth
er map. If it is possible to fly the
Atlantic without leaving anything to
chance, that is what they have
done.
Preparing for the first trip across,
the Pan American meteorologists
reviewed so years of weather rec
ords over the Atlantic. From these
they drew average for seasons, for
months and even for days.
Meager first-hand reports were
forthcoming from weather stations
at Port Washington, N. Y; Shediac.
New Brunswick; Botwood, New
foundland; Reykjavik, Iceland;
Foynes, Ireland, and Southampton,
England. These formed the basis
