Among other things the Con gressmen, during a vist to a big avia tion camp, were treated to flights in American aeroplanes driven by liberty motors and vastly en; eyed this "visit to Cloudland" as representative James H. Mayo, of Utah, termed it. "We flew over London," he said, ascending to an altitudr of 6,000 feet, circling round and round the metrop olis and then flew far enough down to gaze in wonderment at the smiling hop fields ripening in Ken and upon the beautiful greenlands of glorious Devon.
