This is the greatest number of per- 1 sons ever carried by any type of air craft in the world, and adds another record to a year of astounding new feajfs in aviation. The largest num ber of persons previously carried by a heavier than air machine was 60. In the i>o-X flight only 169 were counted for record, hov/ever, as one passenger was a 4-year-old boy. Another gratifying feature of the test was the rapidity with which the big ciaft took the air, rising after skmming the surface of the lake for only 50 seconds, a quicker take-off than any made in its previous trial flights. Then still another aviation record w&s broken about the same time, when Lieutenant Dinor of Germany kept a glider aloft for 14 hours and 44 minutes. A glider has no motor, of course, but is kept in the air by skilful maneuvering in taking advan tage of the natural air currents.

Paris.—The ^rst world marionette congress Is to be held In Paris next October and will be attended by dele gates from nil over Europe and Amer ica. One of the principal problems to be discussed will be how Punch ami Judy shows can be utilized In public schools lor the teaching of such sub jects ns geography and history. Czechoslovakia, which has over 2.7UO puppet shows throughout the country, 1* to send the largest num ber of delegates, although a good representation Is also expected from the United States, where Interest in marionettes has l»een greatly increas ing. Russia will also be well repre sented. According to an announcement by the committee in charge of the con gress. one of the principal speeches will he made by I^on Bogatltrev of Russia. He will tell of the varied kinds of marionettes which are pop ular In his country. Including thqse used by the Siberians and the people of Georgia and the Ukraine. Numerous speakers from Czecho slovakia wiy give detailed accounts as to how practically every* school- house in that country is equipped with puppet shows, generally fashioned by the children themselves. Perform ances are given in ihe classrooms In connection with their every-day les sons. New mechanisms which are being used In different^ parts of the world to operate the marionettes will also form an important part of the agenda. Much is expected from the American delegates in this respect because of innovations which have recently made their appearance In the United States. Historical costuming, scenery and traveling arrangements will likewise be discussed. The congress will attempt to facili tate the diffusion and publication of plays written especially for marionette theaters. It will aim to elevate such dramas to a high literary level, so that they will rank on the same basis as novels and fclramatlc works written for the regular theater. Even marionettes are to have their Shakes peare and Mottere. A former royal castle near Salz burg, Austria, will be converted into a meat packing establishment.
