Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
COMPARED wtn allytnng we
have known before, air trans
portation of the present day is fast.
But air transportation in the future
is going to be MUCH FASTER.
Here Is a prediction offered by
nn engineer who is doing research
work in ono of the large Eastern
aircraft factories: "Within a few
years, probably not more than five
or ten, big planes, carrying a hun
dred or more passengers, will be
traveling from New York to Eu
rope, or from New York to the Pa
cific Coast, in-TWELVE HOURS."
M'T'HEY are working now on a
plane that will fly at an alti
tude of from 45,000 to 50,000 feet.
At that height, the atmosphere is
so rare that little resistance is en
countered. "That far up there are no cross
currents, no 'air pockets,' no clouds
and no fog. In addition to his in
struments, the pilot will have the
stars for his guidance. He will be
on a long distance schedule, and
will be bothered by no stops.
"His speed will be terrific."
IT WILL be cold, of course far
below zero. And the atmos
phere will bo thin so thin that you
couldn't breathe it comrortably.
"But heat will be supplied from
(he exhaust of the engine, and the
power of the engine will be utilized
to compress the air within the
plane so that It may be breathed
comfortably.
'There will be plenty of power
available for these purposes, for
enough energy Is wasted now from
the exhaust of an ordinary airplane
engine of fair size to RUN A
SMALL FACTORY."
A WILD prediction, you say? It
sounds like it. But if anyone
had predicted ten years sgo all
the things that are being done now
with airplanes, his words would
have sounded wild and improbable.
pHIS is a wonderful age, with al-
most every new day bringing
forth some dpw development that
astonishes us. Those of us who are
living today wish we might live nt
least a hundred years more, so we
mljdit see with our own eyes some
of the amazing achievements of
the next century.
Most of these amazing achieve
ments will ho made possible by
scientific research exactly the
kind of work that is being done by
this engineer who has been here
quoted as to the future of aviation.
'T'lIE foundations of scientific re-
search were laid more than 20
centuries ago by Aristotle, who, in

Continent Crossed by "We" Under
Fifteen Hours, Establishing New
Mark for Coast-to-Coast Flight
Bv F. B. HATLEY
Associated Press Staff Writer
NEW YORK, April 21. "We"
have another record, a cross-continent
flight faster than anybody
else.
Taking off from Olendale, Calif.,
just at daybreak. Colonel and Mrs.
Charles A. Lindbergh yesterday
brought their new brilliant scarlet
and black monoplane to a three
point landing on Roosevelt field,
where the colonel took oft for
Paris three years ago this spring.
The arrival was 4S minutes before
the day was done.
The approximate distance flown
was 2.500 miles, the flying time 14
liourB. 23 minutes. 27 seconds, the
average Bpeed 172 miles an hour. A
stop was made at Wichita, Kans.,
of 22 minutes and five seconds for
fuel, but not food. Lunch, prepared
at Los Angeles, was eaten in the
air.
Although the colonel disclaimed
anv new record, the time of the
flight was 3 hours, 15 minutes and
29 seconds faster than it ever had
been flown before. Captain Frank
Hawks, last June 29. flew from
Clendale to Roosevelt field in 17

Colonel Lindbergh, who made the

"This is only one flight," he said,

NEW YORK, April 21 Speaking
across the Atlantic to the annual
luncheon of the Associated Press.
Secretary Stlmson described the
London naval agreement today as
a long step forward In world dip
lomacy. The treaty about to he signed,
said the bead of the American dele
gallon to London, represented a
practical application of the peace
ful declarations of the Kellogg
anti war pact, limiting at once the
navies of the United States, Great
Britain and Japan, and holding a
promise of further agreement also
as to (he naval establishments of
France and Italy.
Mr. Stimson'a address, listened
to bv the members of the Associat

country by the National Broadcast
ing company.
Work Summation
"The work of the London confer
ence," he said, "has really com
prised two quite separate naval
problems the problem of the re
lations between the navies t the
United Stntes, Great llrilaln and
Japan, on the one hand, and the
problem of the relations between
the navies of Groat Itrltain, France
and Italy on the other.
"These nre quite distinct prob
lems. The first of these ha3 been
solved "
"In the second of these prob
lems valuable discussions
have been bad and the underlying
questions upon which a final so
lution must rest have been ex
plored and clarified."
The secretary said It was not
America's business to enter Into
the political questions of European
list inns' relations, but that "silting
on the side Hues it has been quite
evident that the result of the con
ference has been to clarify Issues
and to make their solution in the
future more possible.
"I should like to make clear to
you all today that (he success
of the London naval conference Is
necessarily related to the success
of the Kellogg pact," ho continued.
"The good resolutions of that
pact cannot stand alone. They
must bo followed by national ef
fortprompt, constant, unremit
