Rome to Ne1U York
In Is Hours Seen
Sikorsky Predicts Speedy
Airplane Service.

NEW YORK.-Flights from New
York to Rome in Is hours, around
the world junkets IN a week, and
hops to the North pole IN two or
three days in flying yachts within
10 years were predicted by Igor
Sikorsky, noted American plane de-
signer.
"At the very latest by 194e," said
Sikorsky, there will be regular
passenger flights across the. Allan
TIC"
The giant flying boats, he said,
will carry 30 to 100 persons, have
six motors of $500 horsepower each
and fly at $50 to 400 kilometers an
hour. They will carry 80 tons of
gasoline.
1.-The idea of having intermediate
stops at floating islands must be
abandoned. They only cause loss
of time. The flight must be accom-
plished in one hop, let'us say, from
New York to Brest, France.
The crossing will be made at
height of three or four thousand
kilometers TO eliminate the neces-
sity of compression cabins. It is OBJ
vious why large machine is need
ed. The space is increased, the
passengers have more room and on
long trip there IS need of move
ment and freedom"
Sikorsky declared the future of
aviation lies in the large ships.
They are safer and speedier than
the small ones" he said.
Il believe that the pioneering era
of aviation is well over. It was fin
ished for good with the fight of
Colonel Lindbergh across the At
lantic. The Lindbergh fight has
had an enormous influence on the
development of transcontinental
aviation.
ION the basis of that fight and
the experience of others who have
followed him il is now possible to
inaugurate regular transatlantic
service the plane designer said.
With regular passenger service
across the Atlantic in 1899, Sikorsky
said, commercial aviation reaches
its full maturity"
Sikorsky, while conceding that
sub-stratosphere flying will be ,uti-
lized, doubted if the bulk of COM
mercial flying would be on this level
because of lack of information of
complications which might be en-
countered" in that region.

Most frogs and toads lay eggs In
water, but in France and southern
Europe the midwife toad lays her
eggs on the ground. where they are
deposited in a long string consisting
Of as many as so. While laying she
is attended by her mate, who
watches the whole proceeding, and
when she has completed her task he
takes, possession of them. He ar
ranges them round his hind legs and
loins. The eggs are bright yellow,
and when first laid are perfectly
round, but they soon become oval
~ flattened.

Sues Them All!

Freddie Bartholomew, one OF the
best individual customers the Cali
fornia courts ever had, sued his
mother, his father, all his relatives
and the world in general TO
get them to stop suing him.
Almost continually since
Freddie arrived In the movie
city from England In 1888 he
has been obliged 10 defend his
income against all corners. He
told the court he was support
Ing more people than the WPA
and that things had come TO
the point where he could no
longer keep them all In the
luxury TO which they had be-
come accustomed on his
income.
Notwithstanding the fact that
Freddie has won all the suits
brought against him, they have
cost him in attorney fees alone
more than $4,000. He has just
paid Uncle Sam S67 900 in income
taxes, he sends his family in Eng
land SIS, $500 each year, and claims
he owes lawyers and creditors
$50. 900.
His own personal allowance has
been raised from 81 TO 81 a week.
