"We have not wings, we cannot soar," is the way a
poet puts it in telling how we may reach the "cloudy sum
mits' but' we are not sure that the poetic statement is
not an error. . Men have soared, not in a motor driven
turplane only, but' without engine and with only air
currents and the skill of the operator supporting a "glider."
In experiments conducted in Germany a man kept in the
air', for 13 minutes ' and traveled six miles, circling and
sparing like' a bird. Others have remained in the air even
Ipnger though not covering so great a distance in the
' flight.' Then, is it safe to predict that man cannot tie him
self to wings' iind ;fly? , The development of the motor
driven airplane bad a stage not more promising of success
than that which now exists in flying without motive power
other than that of which-, a skilled operator may avail
himself in taking advantage of air currents.
1t may seem incredible that the weight of a man could
supported for long by any system of heavier than air
panes and at the same time be propelled in any desired
d rection by the operator, yet we thought the same thing
tf the airplane. However, Americans have become can-,
tous in condemning as impossible the fancy of the most
extravagant, imagination. Too manyt'jmnjKMubUitjsft" have,
become realities to make it safe to forecast failure for the
djeani of flying through hitching one's self to wings..
i Flying in that manner would mean hard work, prob
ably. It would involve greater instability than the motor!
driven machine because it would have much less driving
power to lift it out of bad situations. furli flying would
Ijot-get himself fast enough to the place ho is going lo
inipeal to an American. It might do for amusement, but
vould not attract on practical grounds, thought that does
iot imply that' the device may not be perfected to a
jfoint where those who wish may not take a flight when-
!rer they choose.
Only a few days ago the unimaginative who had con--nued
to regard the airplane as still impractical for com
mercial purposes was given a rude jolt with the, estab
lishment of the ;!2-hour cross-continent air mail service.
It is now possible lo send mail from the Atlantic to the
Pacific in little more time than it takes to send a telc
iraph or telephone message from ocean to ocean,

Signs Without End
All of thr countless sijjus and sinn hoanls oncmintnvd
liong tho motor hiRhways detract from tho l-autv of
the' scenery, but not all of them are without advantage to
tven the tourist siKhtseor.
There is n valuable messajfc as well as homely wit in
h following specimens from the official siivnboaiils of
eui'' highways:
VTlns is a jtond road. It will cost you money lo burn
up." '
"Don't covet your neighbor's side of tho road."
VStop liook and Live."
.''Don't speed. It is 'Cood Moniing, Judiie.' here as
ier&uftor."
tUnforlunately, these signs are for those niolorisls
fliw habitually drive too fast to read them or Ut ho an-
toxed by tho more unsightly advertising poster boards.1
To "the careful driver these enumerated signs are as the
JVei-d to the wise" and a protection against accident and
fcpcfd cops.
(Highway advertising signs have become a piohlcin.
JThfey mar the natural beauty of tho roadside, obstruct

I operate a Chandler Tour
ing car, used 22,000 miles with
out grinding the valves. Found
that Aristo Motor Oil gives
excellent mileage. I got more
miles per quart than any other
oil I have used. The oil is prac
tically free from carbon, and
the carbon found by its use is
soft and fluffy and easily re
moved. ;

To Aristo Motor Oil
All motor oils deposit a carbonaceous residue. That
from many oils becomes hard and flint-like.
It attaches to pistons, cylinders and valve-heads.
Being gritty it acts as an abrasive.
It lodges under valve-heads and prevents proper
seating. So power is lost.
. It clings to spark plugs and causes missing by short
circuiting the spark.
It pre-ignites the gas by becoming incandescent. A
frequent causa of "knocking."
And it must be removed at least every 5,000 miles
which means a motor "lay-up." This kind of residue
is what you know as "carbon."
