British Aviator Befleves Trip Can
Be Made by Newfoundland-
Ireland Route.
Continued From Page 1
increased. This machine has the
world’s record of carrying twenty-one
bassengers to an altitude of over
7,000 teet.
Danger Discounted.
A hydroplane would not be an as
surance of safety in a trans-oceanic
flight, as the floats could not resist
the force of even a slightly rough
sea. The possibility of a forced land
ing is almost eliminated, due to motor
breakdown, as only ene motor is re
quired to maintain stying speed. In
the event of fire we oould make a
descent by parachute, We would be
equipped with the latest life saving
suits, which would keep us aficat in
definitely, and they would reduce the
effects of exposure to a minimam. In
the event of a fuel shortage a nearby
shlp could be located with the assist
ance of the wireless and a landing
made alongside. A land machine,
with dexterity, can be landed in the
water without capsizing and will re
main afloat several minutes, therefore
there would be a possibility of alse
saving the machine.
The navigational problem is great
ly simplified by taking advantage ol
all the latest instruments science has
produced—a radio direction finder to
maintain direction by radio waves;
a synchronized drift set, to register
arift caused by cross winds; the most
u(‘qumte of altimeters, to determine
altitude necessary in aerial navigation
pos}tion: an air speed indicator, to
assist in figuring “dead reckoning,”
and both sending and receiving wire
less station.
Choice of Route.
The start will be made under the
most favorahle atmospleric meteoro
logical and hydrostatic conditions to
be determined by 1 committee of aero
nautical scientists. As a day's
weather can ac-urately be forecast,
the possibilitv of encountering dis
astrous elements will almost be elimi
nated.
There are two possible routes for
crogsing the Atlantic—from New
foundland to France, via the Azores
ard Portugal, would involve four
flights, three of them overseas; the
first of 1,200 miles from Newfoundland
to the Azores with a possibility of
missing them entirely by a slight mis
caleulation in- navigation, as they
would be appraoched end on ,and as
there are no paraliel ship lanes to the
line of flight, there would be slight
hope of being set right by communi
cating with sea-craft; the second of
850 miles, from the Azores to the coast
of Portugal; the third of about 600
mileg in a semi-circular flight to the
coast of France to avoid flying over
Spanish territory which would be con
sidered an infringement of their neu
trality; and the final flight of about
500 miles, from the coast of France to
the aerodrome base, aggregating in
all about 3,150 miles. The Newfound
land to Ireland route has been select
ed for the initial trip, and is a direct
fli‘ht of about 1,850 miles.
Newfoundland-lreland.
The plan is te start from Newfound
land, accompanied by an associate
pilot and one mechaniec, at midnight.
The speed maintained will be min:-
mum flving speed, being in proportion
more economical in fuel consumption
and reducing the possibility of a
motor breakdown due generally to ex
cessive speed. Depending upon favor
able air currents, an average sp=ed of
100 miles per hour will be maintaired,
which should enable us to sight the
coast of Ireland by 5 p. m., estimht
ing the range of vigibility from 150
to 200 miles from a 10,000 feet alti
tude. :
From the base In Ireland no diffi
culty would be experienced in flying
the machines to our base in France,
where, after a slight adjustment, they
would be ready for active service,

LONDON, April 20.—That he belong
ed to the International Bible' Students’
Association—the members of which (as
he said) did not attend either church or

forward by a farm hand., aged 18 and
single, at the Bromley (Kagl) tribunal.
The chairman: Ts it one of the ten
ets of your association that no mem
ber must engage in any military serv
ice whatever?
Applicant: No: but one of the tenets
of this body is freedom of thought
D. C. Haldeman: Which means do as
you please? Yes.
Mr. Haldeman: While my only son
is fighting for you!
Exgmption was refused, and when
the vouth said that he should appeal
he was told that he could do as he
pleased.

Keep Your Horses Healthy
Any honest veterinarian will tell you that whole grain causes most
of the horse and mule sickness which he is called upon to treat.
Horses and mules have just as
delicate digestive organs as you have.
They are just as easily upset by in
digestiblefeedsas youare. When the
horse becomes ill as a result of undi
gested whole grain in his stomach you
have no one to blame but yourself.
Scientific feeding tests have
proven that ground feeds are more
economical than whole grain. Grind
ing breaks up the grain. If part of
the ‘ration is bolted by the horse it
is easily digested and assimilated.
Nothing is wasted.
The best ground feed is a
crushed-grain ration properly bal
anced, mixed, and sweetened with
molasses. You can buy such & feed
under the Pilot Wheel trade mark,
which guarantees its goodness.
‘;g{\'f} Write today for a list of our

3 ces or give you the name of a
\\' 3 f:cal dealer.
