Four Nations Race
//
for Ocean Airways
Domination of North Atlan
tic Flying Is Sought.
New York.—This summer will
see the last undeveloped airways
of the world, the North Atlantic
routes, divided up among England,
United States, France and Ger
many says William Clemmens, in
Cosmopolitan.
"These are the four nations com
peting in the race to establish com
mercial air routes between Europe
and North America, and whoever
can dominate North transatlantic
flying will be pre-eminent in the
commercial aviation of the entire
earth," he states.
"For two years the United States
has had the equipment, the skill
and the experience to establish
air transport between Europe and
North America," he points out.
"For the same period France and
Germany have been flying the
EVENING GOWN
South Atlantic. But Great Britain
has not been ready, and without
her consent nobody can move in
the North Atlantic. Now at last
she is ready to treat with her com
petitors.
England Holds Advantage.
"So far as aviation is concerned
today, the North Atlantic is a Brit
ish pond. England holds the air
advantages because she controls
the terminals. With flying equip
ment what it is now, there are on
ly two feasible routes that will pay
dividends to stockholders, available
to the transatlantic flyer. One is
by way of Newfoundland and Ire
land, the other via Bermuda and
the Azores, and England controls
both these routes."
Contrary to the general belief,
the a* is not free.
"The gentlemen who divided the
lo6t at Versailles saw to that," he
goes on. "The World war had ad
vanced aviation as much as twen
ty years of peace could have done.
It was evident that the planes
which had crossed international
borders to drop bombs could also
fly across with samples and sales
men.
"Therefore, the treaty makers
voted into international law the
principle that control of the land
carried with it the control of the
air above that land, and that no
aircraft could fly over foreign ter
ritory without permission of the for
eign government."
America has certain advantages
in the air race, however. She has
tested oceanic equipment and
trained personnel, and Pan Ameri
can Airways has an agreement
I with Imperial Airways and also
holds rights in Greenland and Ice
land.

The fixed order of the universe is
an undebatable fact. The universe
is friendly provid
ed our attitude to
ward it is friend

Nature is irrevo
cable in the axio
matic decree that
obedience is lib
erty and disobedi
ence is slavery.
However, the
f o r c e s of mind
and nature are
not so organized
that they prevent
the interplay of
freedom of choice.
This would be a sorry world and
the universe be most unfriendly if
we were all mere automatons.
Wisely have we been given unre
stricted liberty to choose between
the alternatives in life. It is in this
realm of "freedom of choice" that
we discover one of our greatest and
least appreciated blessings; the
spirit of adventure.
Much of the zest in life would be
taken away if we were deprived
the thrill of adventure. It is the
spirit of adventure that furnishes

The spirit of adventure has given
us our modem comforts. Edison’s
spirit of adventure gave us many
of the practical uses of the electric
current. Franklin’s first telephone
tells its own story of adventure just
as Morse s telegraph system ac
claims it.—The same spirit gave us
the automobile and many of the
modern comforts of life too numer
ous to mention.
Who wants his life "cut and
dried" for him—planned to the most
minute detail with no opportunity
of original self-expression? The
most fascinating road is the wind
ing one that leads to some un
known spot.
We fellow the trail, enthused by
the very spirit of uncertainty. It
is said that airplane travel is posi
tively exhilarating because of its
appeal to the adventurous spirit.
Our very lives react to the same
spirit. We love the thrill of suc
cess which awards the adventur
ous spirit.
Although some persons suffer the
tragedy of WTong choices, others
rejoice in the awards of victory.
When_ nothing is attempted, noth
ing is gained. We must “launch out
into the deep.” The element of cer
tainty in final results does not im
pel the highest motive power.
Leave large room for the spirit of
adventure. Be grateful that life of

of choice, the opportunity of en

of undertaking a dangerous and

The shelf treatment furthers this
daosrattoa.
Simple frames are suggested as
most suitable as they require the
minimum of care without losing
anything in ornament. The ma
terial can be any one of the many
substitutes for wood or it can be
of the latter material. The home
maker can make the frames her
self with a jigsaw, or she can
have a carpenter cut the curved
outlines. If the makes the frames
of wood substitutes, it is possible
to draw the curved outlines on the
material, and with a very sharp
knife cut the contours herself.
By careful planning, one line of
cutting can supply two contours
exactly alike when separated, since
the curves can interlock in their
outlines. Careful drawing is need
ed, and deft cutting. The work of
a carpenter, however, is slight, and
would therefore cost little. He will
nail the frames with precision to
the edges of the shelves. Then all
that remains is for the homemaker
to paint the frames whatever color
desired.
The way to have the painting
most ornamental is to use two col
ors, let us say blue and gold-yel
low. Paint the edges, that is. the
frame width of wood, with the yel
low, and the frames themselves
blue. The shelves can be yellow
with the wall-background blue or
this color scheme can be reversed.
This schema Is too full of color
for some pantries, so let me sug
gest another, two shades of gray
with white Or canary yellow,
gray, and white.
The painted frames set off the
wares of the pantry to advantage
as well as proving ornamental in
themselves. An ordinary pantry
becomes a decorative asset of the
home when It has its shelves
framed as described.
