HUGHES ANNULS JULES
VERNE'S FICTION
Pasadena Stm.-Neus. Julu I,3)


Howard Hughes, millionaire motion
picture producer, Gilman and aviator, has
flown in the course of his world-girdling
flight from New York TO Moscow in a
little over 33 hours, including some eight
hours spent in Paris. Aviation enthu-
siaSts, who have been watching Hughes
break speed records for the past two or
three years. predicted that the Young
flyer and his aids would establish a new
transocean flight record when they left
New York Sunday evening. But even in
seeing their predictions come true they
are surprised. Such is the amazing feat
which has been accomplished by Hughes
New York TO Moscow in 33 hours And
then on over Siberia. the North Pacific
and Bering Sea-homeward bound
In addition to marking Hughes as a
flyer Of high rank, the accomplishment
also emphasizes the progress which has
been made in aviation in recent years.
Faster planes better equipment and, of
course, the accumulatiye experience of
previous trail-blazers of the skies Charles
Lindbergh Il years ago required more
than twice as much time to fly from New
York to Paris as did Hughes. but it must
be remembered that the former flew
alone, without radio, and that after all,
he blazed the Great Circle route which
others followed.
Unless his flight is interrupted by ac-
cident, there is good reason to believe
that Hughes will fly around the world,
by the northern route in approximately
four and one-half days. as compared to
the record set by the late Wiley Post,
who performed the feat in six hours less
than eight days. The achievement seems
SO near that Mikhail Gromoff, the Rus
sion flyer who flew across the North
Pole to California last year, is predicting
for aViation's next feat flight around
the world over both the North and South
Poles.
While Hughes frankly admits that he
is trying to set a new -the-World
record, the significance of his amazing
dash across the Atlantic is the practical
demonstration that regular transatlan-
tic air schedule may be established by way
of the Great Circle route, and that "a
hour commercial flights between New
York and Europe are by no means i'm
possible. Regular aviation schedules
around the world no longer are a matter
for speculation. 1t is simply a question
of how soon.

CONNUBIAL BLISS, OR ELSE
(WaU Street JOurnaI)

Moving with all the force and majesty
of quasi-legislative, quasi-administra-
tive and quasi-i judicial limb of the Gov
ernment, the Federal Trade Commission
has eXacted from the owners of a certain
matrimonial agency a stipulation that
they will cease advertising that they have
available for Introduction to their sub
scribers persons who are worthwhile, cul-
tured and wealthy. They admit in writ
ing that they cannot aiUays, as the COM
mission puts it, establish for their clients
contacts which will lead to happiness and
lasting contentment and contacts with
cultured and wealthy persons"
We must commend the ETC for thus
preventing Cupid, Inc, from shooting
imitation arrows across state lines. But
the commission is without jurisdiction to
prevent the intrastate sale of ntroduc-
tion represented as guaranteeing lasting
cOntentment in connubial luxury Hence
it appears to be necessary to warn the
unwed against the risks which will still
attend falling in love with a resident of
the same state, if the object of ones af-
fections has, for a fee, been represented
as person Of wealth and or culture.
