THE BUSY SKIES

The skies above the Atlantic are busy
in this, the Jet age of international ali
travel. The airlines of dozen or so ma
tions constantly fly back and forth be-
tween New York and the cities of Britain
and the Continent.
We are coming to take this for grant
ed So it is worthwhile to recall that the
first passenger carrying c 0 m m L c al
flight across the Atlantic took place &
mere % years ago when, on June %, 19-
80, a Pan American flying boat left a
New York airport bound for Marseilles
via the Azores and Lisbon.
Many years of work and planning
were represented on that day. Within
two years after Colonel Lindbergh made
his historic New York-Paris flight in 49,
II, Pan Am was actively planning a
broad skyway to Europe. This meant that
larger, safer, and longer-ranging planes
had to be designed; that bases and main
tenance facilities had to be built; that
communications had to be vastly improv-
ed that meteorology until then largely a
hit-or-niss proposition, had to be pains
takingly developed into science.
But it was all accomplished. And just
80 minutes after Pearl Harbor was at
tackled Pan ANS worldwide facilities,
the only ones of their type then in exist
ence, were placed at the disposal of the
United States government. Its planes
provided vital services during all OF
World War H.
History is made with amazing speed
these days. The jet age is a prime eX-
ample.

BRITAIN'S POSITION

Dean Acheson, President Truman
Secretary of State, always aroused con-
troyersy. He is still doing it. Witness the
annoyance Of the British when ne told
West Point audience that Britain has
lost an empire and not yet found role.
Acheson elaborated as follows about
Britain: "She was attempting to play q
separate power role, that is, role apart
from Europe, role based on special
relationship with the United States, q
role based on being the head Of COM
monwealth. This role is about played
out"
Not so many years ago no one would
have dreamed of saying that Britain was
PLAYED out. Her empire was at its height,
probably the largest in world history.
Since then it has lost such large seq
ments as Egypt, India, Ceylon, Burma,
and great parts of Africa. The British
had the wisdom not to resist these secess-
ions, profiting by their experience when
they opposed our Revolution.
Acheson is therefore stating well
known truth, that Britain is not the lead
Ell she used to be. She still retains her
governmental skill, her knowledge Of the
world, and the talents of her people. But
she will have to do some things, like en-
tering the Common Market which form
erly She would have rejected.
That is really all that Acheson meant.
The British, however, do not like being
told that the old days are over. Yet soon
er OF later they will appreciate that
Acheson was not unfriendly, but merely
stating facts.

NUMISMATIC NOTES
Mugiciuns' Coins

The magician T. Nelson
Downs won fame In the 1905
with a trick he called the
"Miser's Dream" in which he
caught coins from the air,
from someone's lapel, from
behind an ear until he had
produced a hatful Of coins
from nowhere.
on the stage. dollars look
like halves and halves like
quarters. Since real silver
dollars are expensive and
heavy. m a gic shops sell
"palming coins" which are
cheaper, lighter and more
sharply milled around the
edges. One of the many de-
signs, showing "Magic's I'M
mortals," Houdini, Kellar and
Thurston, is illustrated.
Chrome-plated and alumni
mum foreign coins, presiden-
tial tokens and similar pieces
are often used as palming
coins.
"Gimmicked" coins are real
coins altered by shells, hooks
or holes cut TO meet various
illusionary requirements. OF
the gimmicked coins, only
one is numismatic material.
This Is the appropriated
1943 cent, which should be
displayed only in q "Magi-

COUNTERFEIT. M

COUNTERFEIT, MIS-
STRUCK AND UNOFFI-
CIAL u. S. COINS. BY Don
Taxay. CARGO Publishing
Co.; $4.50.)
Here is the story Of un-
authorized United States
coins. from outright counter
feits to official forgeries like
the 1904 silver dollars.
Mr.. Taxsy explains how
coins are made and provides
a guide to the detection Of
cast and struck counterfeits,
electrotypes and altered
coins. He also has q chapter
on Mint errors.
But the most interesting
sections OF his book deal with
the MINIS own collection, and
with the unauthorized pieces
made by Mint officials or
their relatives and sold pri-,
vately, including the 1884 and
1885 Trade dollars and the
1918 Liberty Head nickels.
Any reasonably advanced
collector should find Mr..
Taxay's book fascinating

Tone Your Prints
For SpecioI Moods

bleach print tones as we'll as
make washing and toning
more difficult. Thorough
washing is important to
avoid unsightly stains that
can occur when improperly
washed prints are immersed
in the toning solution. A
hypo clearing agent or elm
inator is q big help in insur-
ing complete removal of fixer
from a print.
Appropriate exposure and
development of a print in
tended for toning are impor-
tant. Some toners, such as
Kodak's Hypo Alum TIA
sepia type. require an in
crease in development time
of up to SO per cent; others,
such as Rapid Selenium
drown, call for a reduc-
ton in development time.
Blue toners usually will re-
quire no variation from
standard development times.
In any case, directions packed
with the toner should be fol-
lowed closely.
Formulas Available
Prepared toners generally
come in powdered or liquid
concentrate form. Formulas

ers desiring to mix their own
preparations. In all cases,
the toner ingredients are

has quite a latitude, and is

under room Illumination, so
that progress can easily be
observed.
Whatever the type or color

Today's Photographic en-
larging papers are offered in
q wide variety Of image tones,
ranging from blue-black
through neutral black,
warm black and brown
black, giving the print maker
a variety of tones from which
to choose as being appropri-
ate to a pictures subject. BY
treating prints in special So
lutions. called toners. still
greater control over the final
image tone can be exercised
to further accent the feeling
or mood Of a given photo
graph.
Most print toners produce
shades of either blue, sepia,
or brown. Blue toners are
often used with snow scenes
to suggest GOODNESS, and with
twilight or night scenes to
further enhance the feeling
of gathering darkness. Nauti-
cal scenes and seascapes lend
themselves well to blue ton
ing also. Brown and Sepia
toners lend a warm feeling to
portraits as well as to land
seapes particularly autumn
scenes), sunsets, or pictures
where natural textures-wood
or stone, for instance-are
emphasized. Whatever the
subject or toner, it should be
remembered that the final
image tone should serve to
enhance, rather than to
dominate, the overall sub
ject. Good taste and restraint
are important prerequisites
to the successful use of any
toner.
Several VariabIes
The actual shade obtained
from a toner is influenced by
several variables: The type
Of paper used; the print de-
veloper employed; the degree
of print development; the
care with which the paper
has been fixed and washed.
All these things are impor-
tant factors in toning.
Correct fixing and washing
are important preliminary
steps In the toning process.
Fresh fixing solution should

ing Is not intended. Avoid
