Wit 'Hum®u ENDING THE AGONY A certain wealthy senator got into a dispute in Washington with a hotel clerk about a difference of $1.20 in his bill. After going into every angle of the supposed overcharge for more than an hour, the senator gloomily paid the bill and went his way. Just as he passed out of the front door a motor car tire out in front blew up with a loud report like a pistol shot. The young hotel clerk clapped his hands to his brow melodramatically, and cried: “Good-night I The senator has shot himself!” NO REPRIEVE i A 7z-J JI r ■ 17 /Mi ■a_l IW "My wife has forgotten how to play the piano.” “You’re to be congrat—” “Not so—my daughter has jusl started to learn.” Strange Is Right.

US Army Hierj to Encircle the. VM t t>s JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN

N INTERNATIONAL race around the globe by air is the next sensation ■ promised a waiting world, which nowadays does not thrill easily. It should be good for many acrosst h e-flrst-page headlines, for its possibilities of ad-

vcrtising glory —and disaster —are apparently endless. Four will hop off this month, or nextfrom Washington and will fly west, carrying four army air service officers and four enlisted men. About the same time, according to present plans, three British army officers in a Vimy amphibian plane of 450 horse-power will start from London and fly east, over practically the same route. They are Squadron Leader A. S. Macklaren, Flying Officer W. N. Plenberleith and Engineer Sergeant Andrews. Capt. Sacadura Cabral and Admiral Gogo Coutiulo of Portugal are reported to be ready to start In the race with Fokker seaplanes under government auspices. been talking of entering the race, but her present intentions are not known. Aviation enthusiasts speak of the American flight as "outrivaling in importance the navigation of the globe by Magellan.” Anyway, it was conceived by Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chief of air service, who has secured the approval of the secretary of war. Preparations for the flight, at home and abroad, have been under way for months. Details made public by Maj. Henry H. Arnold, commander of Rockwell field. Stan Diego, and by General Patrick himself, made possible the following facts, many of which are of course subject to last-minute change: General purposes appear to be in effect as follows: To gain for the army air service fdded experience in long-distance flying under various climatic conditions, particularly in the supply problems connected therewith; to complete an airplane flight around the world In the shortest practicable time; to demonstrate the feasibility of establishing an airway around the globe: to stimulate interest in commercial aviation; to demonstrate the importance of aircraft In national defense, and last—and not least—to win for the United States, the birthplace of aeronautics, the honor of being the first country to encircle the world entirely by air travel. Maj. Frederick L. Martin will be squadron commander. He is forty r two years of age and was born In Indiana. His companion officers are: Lieut. Erik H. Ndaon. squadron engineer officer, who was born In Sweden and is by profession an aeronautical motor expert. He was engineer oflicer of the flight to Alaska in 1920 and of the San Antonio-Porto Rico-VVash-ington flight last summer. Lieut. Lowell H.

Origin of Honeymoon The origin of the word honeymoon 'a disputed. The old theory was that t refers to the practice of the ancient Teutons who drank “hydromel." a drink made of honey, for a month, or •Won." after marriage. There is an old story that AtlHa the Hun indulged eo freely in hydromel at his wedding feast that he died. Thus the month aftei marriage when people drank honey wine was called "honeymoon."

ice in 191" overseas. He is a native of Michigan. Lieut. Leslie P. Arnold and Lieut. Le Claire D. Schulze have been named as alternates. The names of the four enlisted men are not at hand. At this writing, according to the tentative route selected, the start will be from’ Washington, D. C, proceeding to Seattle; then flying. northward along the coast of Canada and southern Alaska, across the Aleutian islands, down through the possessions of Jdpan; along the shore of China, French Indo-China, Siam and Burma; across India; up the Persian gulf; across Turkey and Europe to England ; thence north tlirough the Faroe islands to Iceland; thence to Greenland and southward along the eastern shore of that country to Cape Farewell, Greenland, from which point a direct flight will be made to Hamilton Inlet, on the Labrador coast; thence southward along the Canadian shore, and up the St. Lawrence river to Quebec and Montreal, from which point the flight Will proceed south,, via New York, to Washington. The flight has been divided into six legs, ei&h in charge of a control officer, as follows: Seattle to Attn island, Lieut. Clayton L. Bisnell; Attu to Nagasaki, Japan. Lieut Clifford C. Nott; Nagasaki to Calcutta, India. Lieut. M. S. Lawton; Calcutta to Constantinople, Lieut. H. A. Halvbrsen; Constantinople to London, Maj. Carlisle Walsh; London to Canada and Washington. Lieut. Clarence Crumrine. The longest hop wW be from Attu island to Paramishiru island, in the northern part of the Eurile islands group, a possession of Japan. Other long hops will be necessary over the Atlantic ocean between the Faroe islands and Iceland; between Iceland ,end Greenland, and between Greenland and northern Canada; the longest of these being about 700 miles. The flight total a distance of between 27,000 and 30,000 miles. It would be only 20,000 miles, traversing the northern route and crossing from Alaska over to Siberia and continuing in a straight line around the globe. Not being able to follow this route, due to the fact that the United States has not recognized the soviet govern-

But modern philologists frown on this derivation. Thej say originally the word had no reference to "month” at all. but referred only to the everchanging character of the moon. At any rate, honeymoon now refers to the period immediately after marriage, especially that part spent away from home, when everything is supposed to be as sweet as honey.—Pathfinder. Garden in a Bank. There is a garden and a fountain within the Bank of England enclosure. Prince Rupert’s Drops The name. Prince Rupert’s Drops, is given to tadpole-shaped pieces of glass, formed by melting the glass and allowing it to drop into cold water. If the point of the tall to one of these be broken off. the whole will at once shiver to pieces with a loud reportOwlng to the sudden cooling, the particles have not had sufficient time to arrange themselves in a stable manner, and hence they fly asunder as ■

ment of Russia, means that the route will be lengthened some 7,000 miles. The airplane selected is the Douglas World Cruiser, built by the Douglas factory at Santa Monica, Cal. This plane can travel at an. average speed of 105.4 miles per hour. The undercarriage, or lauding gear, is convertible; it can be fitted to fly either over land or water. The land type consists of the divided axle form of chassis, with two 30-inch by 8-inch straight-sided wheels and an articulated steerable tail skid. The water type undercarriage consists of twin pontoons to replace the land type, capable of withstanding rough water landings. The four cruisers will be equipped with pontoons at Seattle and will make water landings In sheltered harbors along the boast of British Columbia, Alaska and through the Aleutian islands down into Japan. The present plan contemplates the removal of the pontoons and the use of landing gears from Tokyo to London. This plane has six aluminum gas tanks, with a total capacity of 600 gallons. Two terne-plate oil tanks are mounted, one on each side of the engine, one with a capacity of 20 gallons and the other of 30 gallons. Th» radiator is of the nose type. A tengallon copper reserve water tank Is installed in the pilot’s cockpit, provided with ;.n air pump, so that the pilot may pump water from the -tank to the radiator If necessary. There is an electric starter, and the plane is equipped with dual control throughout. A radio direction tinder forms part of the equipment The plane Is designed to carry a load slightly In excess of 4,500 pounds, and

its total weight will be approximately 8,800 pounds. Carrying its full gasoline capacity, the Douglas World Cruiser is capable of making a nonstop flight of about 2.200 miles, equal to a duration flight of 27*£ hours. The motive power of the cruiser is the famous old reliable Liberty "12,” the efficiency of this American-made wartime product having been proved on numerous occasions, notably on such extraordinary feats as the Alaskan and Porto Rican flights; the duration flight of over thirty-six hours, made by Lleuts. John A. Macready and Oakley G. Kelly, air service; their non-stop flight across the Continent from New York to San Diego, Cai.; the one-stop flight across the continent from Jacksonville, Fla., to San Diego, CaL, made by Lieut. James H. Doolittle, air service; the novel duration flight made by Lieuts. Lowell H. Smith and John P. Richter, air service.'who eclipsed the duration record of Lieutenants Kelly ijnd Macready by having their plane refueled in flight through a hose connected to another airplane flying directly above theirs, and recently the nonstop refueling flight of Lieutenants Smith and Richter out on the Pacific coast, when they flew from the Canadian to the Mexican border, Should the army air service succeed in its undertaking, it will 1 mean that the United States will have, achieved the distinction of setting up a record for the longest distance fever covered by an airplane on one mission. Up to now the greatest distance ever covered by an airplane on *>ne particular mission was the flight from London to Melbourne, Australia, made from November 12, 1919, to February 25, 1920, by the British pilots, the late Sir Ross Smith and his brother, Sir Keith Smith, when their Vlck-ers-Vimy machine traversed a total distance of 15,000 miles. The next longest flight, a distance of 9,823 miles, was made in a Martin bombing plane, piloted by Lieut. Col. R. S. Hartz and Lieut. E. E. Harmon of the army air service, who between July and November, 1919, made a complete circuit of the United States, starting from Washington, proceeding to Spokane, San Diego, New Orleans, and returning to Washington.

Forests Affect Climate The forest service says that cutting down trees has a decided effect on climate and soil fertility. It is an established fact that forests tend to prevent extremes of temperature, either hot or cold, and thus moderate climate. They also prevent the washing away of soil, retard and often prevent floods ‘and thus make cultivation of much land possible, land which without tiees would be arid waste. soon as the structure Is broken. These furious drops are commonly supposed Jo have been discovered by Prince Rupert, the grandson of James I of England; but Faraday says that they were simply brought by him Into England in 1660.
