Predicts Planes to Fly
Atlantic in Single Day
Veteran Flyer Forsees Great
Future for Aviation In
Address Here.

Predicting that in two months COM
merciaI planes would span the Atlantic
in less than day on regular schedules,
H. Garfield Cook, veteran flyer and
combat pilot, who addressed a joint
assembly Of Memorial high school and
Junior College students in the Wash
ington auditorium, Tuesday morning,
outlined glorious future for the air
industry.
Cook asserted that in a relatively few
years, speeds Of less than 500 miles
per hour would be out of date, basing
his prediction on the yet UNEMPLOYED
possibilities of stratoSphere flying.
The plane Of the future, he declared,
would fly far above the clouds. 1t will
be alright, and equipped to supply
oxygen to passengers. Powerful con-
sistent winds at this altitude will enable
airlines to plot their courses so as to
take advantage of these winds.
Only persons at the peak of human
perfection can find a place in the field
of aeronautics, Cook emphasized, be-
cause flying is now on such a highly
commercialized basis. To demonstrate
this point, he recounted an instance in
which the Lockheed factories in Cali
fornia interviewed between 1000 and
5000 applicants for 400 jobs-without
filling the jobs
Mr.. Cook described each step in the
actual scheduled flight of a modern
mainliner, from the motor check-up
to the landing. Emphasizing the great
care taken to safeguard the lives of
passengers, he stated that after 500
hours in the air, an airplane motor is
taken out, thoroughly dismantledd and
carefully examined for wear, breaks, or
other flaws.
All employees, he continued, from the
chief pilot to the grease monkeys are
required to be in tip-top condition,
thereby lessening the chances for
human error in the intricate task of
building and flying the giant ships of
the air
Motion pictures shown by the speaker
depicting every step IN the manufacture
and flying of the huge airIiners, proved
of special interest. They illustrated the
great strides that are being made in
making flying as fool-proof as possible.
One OF the new safety devices is a
new type altimeter which registers the
height above the earth. instead Of above
sea level, as 3 the case with the old
type. The new innovation tells the
pilot while flying blind" if he is
getting close to high point of ground.

As result he had to be satisfied with
a tie score.

travel to EVeleth for a dual meet in
the Hilltop pool This will conclude
competition until after the New Year.
Albin Markun was high-point man
for Ely in the Chisholm meet, winning

yard free style event and the fancy
diving. Wayne Bolitho came through
for first in the 100-yard breast, and
Captain Joe Atkins remained undefeated
in the 100-yard back as he took this
event in handy fashion.
The combination Of Atkins, Bolitho
and William Herranen was good for a
win in the medley relay to put Ely in
the van by points as the final event
came up. Chisholm came through for
a win TO tie the score.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

In a barnyard where geese are
kept, a visitor-especially a small
boy or girl-may be chased" by a
goose. Geese are likely to stretch
out their necks and hiss, making
them seem rather fearful, though
they do not often hurt any one.
Barnyard geese are noted for the
friendships they make with animals
A British nobleman, Lord Lilford,
once owned a goose which grew
friendly with crane The birds
would feed together, and all through
the day would stay not more than
few yards apart.
Another goose became the mas
cot" of stable of polo ponies. This
goose made special friend of one
OF the ponies, In telling of the case,
Mr., Lewis Spence states that the
pony and goose would go with each
other to the fields and feed together
In silent friendship"
Our barnyard geese have come
from wild geese which were tanned
long ago. The ancient Egyptians
kept geese. and the birds were COM
mon on farms In Europe during the
Middle Ages, the same as they are
today.
Geese are sent to the market to
be sold for food. Their flesh is very
rich. too rich for the taste of many
persons. Yet the goose is popular

Geese and Bornyord Animals

geese on this continent are Canada
geese" also called "big gray geese"
and "long -necked geese" They
breed chiefly in Canada, great num-
bers of them making their nests
around Hudson Bay and in the Yu-
kon Valley.
In the early autumn, focks of
Canada geese head southwark. They
are noted for their custom of form
ing v when they migrate. The
leader, almost always a gander, flies
at the front, and we may say he
makes "the point" of the v.
"Honk, honk!" cry the geese as
they fly, and the sound may remind
us Ct the old-fashioned automobile
horn. The birds go to southern
parts of the United States to spend
the winter. Many of them winter
in Florida.

More than a dozen kinds of wild
geese are known. Among them are
the graylag geese which used to nest
freely in the marshes of the British
Isles. They seldom breed in Great
Britain today, except in Northern
Scotland.
Wild graylag geese are believed
to have been the ancestors of most
of the geese in barnyards of Europe

funds are raised by collecting con-

times the admission charge is made
high enough to include the contribu-

This happens because the week of

DDS is especially interesting The
Chinese try to cook sufficient for
everyone to have as much as he wants
to eat, but - and this is important to
them - not more than can be eaten
at one meal. Pork meat is rather a
staple in home-cooked Chinese food,
and Mrs. Chu used it for the Chinese
soup with which our lunch began.
Vegetables, too, are an important ele-
ment in Chinese dishes.
As glance at the soup recipe will
show you, spinach is used in this dish,
and the object is to keep it extremely
fresh and green. A portion of spinach|
is served in the soup bowl along with
the fluid, and you eat the spinach with
chopsticks but are given china spoons|
with which to eat the soup proper.
