NEWEST news in aviation is the successful flight from | Ireland to Canada of Capt. Donald C. T. Bennett in |

the British seaplane Mercury. The Mercury, starting with a load so great that it couldn’t have left the water under its own power, was launched high in the air from the back of a larger plane. Here's one solution for the problem of long-distance flying with heavily loaded planes. The Mercury will make other test trips, in preparation for a regular trans-Atlantic air-mail service. These survey flights will be watched with great interest, as will those of the Germans in their catapult-launched planes.

Just What Constitutes 'American Business System'? Economist Asks.

business. Private ownership could with more truth be called the European system or, better still, the Chinese system.

What American system are these businessmen talking about? The historic American system—a business world in which the small proprietor was the dominant citizen? Or some new system which has gotten a foothold in the last 20 or 30 years, or

What is the characteristic of this new system? In so far as it differs from the old system it has two essential features. One 1s the tendency of businessmen or groups to unite in trade combinations, associations, cartels, and to see thus to limit

tions of capital and plant through the use of certain, corporate and financial devices which have been most highly developed in this country.

Is this the thing which is called the American system? It cannot be because it is the negation of that thing which for 140 years of our national life

have kept up an incessant warfare on it. Another European Invention

The other feature is the drift toward agreements, cartels. Perhaps this too is But certainly it is not the American It is a distinct European invention.

Whether the poems contributed are really poetry or not I don't know.

And I didn’t think anybody read the Forum or poetry column! Mr. Fowler has more gaiety and doesn't mind deliberately cracking the rules of grammar, syntax, etc, while R. F, is serious-minded and conservative in the matter of English usage. What does it prove? No more or less

Gen. Johnson Says—

A Clown in a Crate Couldn't Fly The Continent in 28 Hours and the Atlantic in About the Same Time.

NY YORK, July 22.—“It was a unique flight, but we ‘we've got to take the spectacular out of aviation, It has become a regular and accepted means of transportation. Aviation neither benefited nor learned anything from Corrigan’s flight.” Thus spoke J. Monroe (Row-Boat). Johnson who, without air experience, became air-tsar of the Department of Commerce. Thus also spoke several edi torials and “scientific” fliers. ’

It would be impossible to “take the spectacular out of flying.” Nothing could be more spectacular than scientific flying itself and nothing has been more spectacular than Howard Hughes’ application of it to a whirl around the world in less than four days. Everybody should applaud the rapid improvement in flying aids and everybody does. But this fatherly patting of other air-accomplish-ments on the head with gentle rebuke carries a suggestion that gadgets and Government bureaus are enough to serve navigation in the air.

# 2

ANY mountain peaks of the Rockies, the Siere ras and the Alleghenies are draped with the fatal silvery wreckage of the best-equipped bureaucontrolled air liners that science can devise. In most cases Mr. Johnson's bureau, in reporting on the cause of these disasters, said simply, “pilot's error.” In few, if any, cases has the report been “gadget failure” or “bureau-blunder.” If aviation neither “benefited nor gained anything” from Corrigan’s flight, maybe bureaucratic aviation-controk has already become so bigoted and hard-shelled that it can’t learn anything it doesn’t itself invent. Certainly Government aviation control should rigidly require the safest and best equipment and practices wherever the traveling public entrusts its life 'to carriers for hire. Certainly it should deny the ain to contraptions that are not airworthy. But Corrigan surely doesn't fall in the first category. He risked only his own life. To the charge that his ship was not airworthy, the answer is that it flew the Atlantic and hit its distant destination (?) on the nose.

which cannot fail without blemishing a tradition, Corrigan’'s flight adds a bright new chapter to the trae dition of American aviation. $ Of course, we don’t want to see the Atlantic airways cluttered up with cock-eyed clowns risking their necks in flying chicken-coops. On the face of the facts, such were not Corrigan and his “crate.” He had just flown the continent in 28 hours and followdd that by hopping the Atlantic in about the same time. Clowns in crates can’t do that. Apparently as an excellent mechanic, he had made an excellent plane out of pieces from an old one. As excellent human airmaterial, he had fashioned an excellent professional pilot out of an amateur. Hasn't aviation anything to “benefit or gain” from that?

It Seems to Me By Heywood Broun

About Once a Year Columnist Longs To Miss the 6:08 Train for Home.

TAMFORD, Conn. July 22.—Every once and so cften somebody gets up and declares that the American home is being destroyed. Some blame the terniites and some accuse the jitterbugs. And some

times it is the comic supplements in the newspapers. I mean particularly those pictures which end up “Wham!” or “Ouch!” or “Glug!” “Glug!” The moralists assert that if violence is made comic, tiny tots may be induced to mow each other down. But, confound it, nothing of the sort has happened. ’

And if you tell any commuter that the American home is disappearing he is apt to laugh a little rue~ fullv in your face.

Each morning of the week, except on Sunday, the good providers of this ridge depart for the metropolis. To the unthinking observer these are free men upon their own. But look into the soul of the commuter or into his pants’ pocket and you will see that he carries with him a return trip ticket. He is but a fish upon a silken line, and he will be hauled back upon the 6:08 train.

Distinctly I want to proclaim that the home is a great institution and that for my own part I love each I am glad the moralists err in asserting that swing music may make gypsies of us all. Indeed, the newer forms of dancing strengthen home ties and do not loosen them. The wild abandon of the modern manner moves the average man of middle age to say quite early in the evening, “Come on, mamma, let's get out of here. I want to take my shoes off and relax.”

Please Keep His Secret Sacred

As I have already said several times, I love my home, and I am sure that you have an equally fervent affection for your own. But in the dead of night, and even at high noon, I sometimes sneak a wish that there were just a little weight in the grave fears of those who feel that at any moment we may all scatter on a reckless binge.

Would I destroy the home? Don't be silly. But I woncer whether some arrangement might not be made to lift it just a little from the back of the neck where it pinches like a collar button. Please keep my secret sacred, for I have no desire to have the breath thumped out of me by one who is both near However, in strictest confidence, I will im= part the fact that about once a year I have a deep

| desire to miss the 6:08 train and racket around the

Watching Your Health

By Dr. Morris Fishbein

HE essentials of a satisfactory food pattern, as pointed out by the Council on Foods of the Ameri= can Medical Association, include at least one pint of milk, two servings of vegetables, two servings of fruit, one or two servings of protein foods, and a serving of whole grain cereal each day. This is a general pate

| tern, and can be revised for any individual case.

It is possible to plan a diet without milk, but .if this is done, substitutes must be chosen which will provide adequate amounts of calcium. In selecting foods to obtain a normal diet, the fivp general classes of foods are given first consideration, The first class is milk and milk products. Milk is the chief source of calcium, the substance in which most American diets are deficient. Few foods besides milk and cheese products are good sources of calcium. .

The second class of foods includes the cereals. The cereals are important as a source of energy. One ounce dry weight of a whole grain cereal is perhaps the minimum necessary for important ingredients. The third class includes the fruits and the vegetables. These supply large amounts of vitamin C, as well as other vitamins and iron. ‘The fourth class of foods are eggs, nuts and meats of various kinds. One egg or an equivalent amounr* of meat, ish or fowl should be taken each day. The fifth class of foods comprises fats and sugars. These are to he considered chiefly in relationship to the total requirement of calories. ‘ One® hundred grams of lard, which is less than a quarter of a ‘pound, will yield 900 calories.
