I dldent get to go up as I was working, but Bill told me over the, phone that it was awful hot In the big football stadium, and that Mr Hoover kept them all there In the sun till they promised to be Republicans.

She said I did it Just so that I could rope In the house without hitting the ceiling. Well ma by she was right. Anyhow 1 got an old stuffed calf In there that I get out and practice on. I am without a doubt the best dead calf roper In the World, but when I try It on a live one It dont work. But I am death on dead calves. Well as I started to say away awhile ago, I was sitting there after supper reading and in come a couple of fellows, one of em said he had met me In Russia last summer, and I think he had. He was an aviation man. The other was a Beverly Hills real estate man. Well they had an arm full of technical maps and drawings, and you know what It was it was of that parachute jumping thing they had over in the big Park of Culture and Rest in Moscow. You go up on a platform about 80 feet, and there is a captive parachute that works from an arm that bangs out from the oil derrick looking stand. You put the chute on, and you Just Jump out into space, pull the cord and down you come. But the top part Is fastened to the top of the umberella part and too the pole that sticks out away from the high platform, so you cant get hurt. and Us quite a sensation. My kid tried it. It was one of the main amusement things in this big Park. Well these fellows was trying to get It Into the San Diego Fair, but It seems Zack Farmer who was really responsible for the great success of the great Olympic Games here in 32. well Zack kinder claimed that a Russian wasent really human, and that he might just want to commit suicide purposely, (and there is some justification in what Zack says.) I have always claimed that thats why they was such great parachute jumpers, was because they was dissapolnted when It opened. But these boys wanted me to wire Zack and tell him that It was a great attraction. Well I sent Zack the wire. That was just now. Because I know Zack, and because I know this contraption. I dont know how they come to think of me on weird schemes. I dont want any of you to get the Idea that because I did try to help out these guys that I am open to any and all plans that come along.

Right, Conception of Russia's Largest Plane, Which Crashed, Killing 48. Maxim Gorki, Clipper Ship. Below, Artist's Above, By WILLIAM C. UTLEY world, with America In lead, Is entering a new THE glorious era of transportation. It might be called the Era of Realization of the Fantastic. Not so many years ago In fact within the memory of children still In school covers of magazines of "science" and "Inventhe tion" type were filled with artists' startling conceptions of great flying palaces, then weird In appearance, which were to tie together the far ends of the earth In the future. Blase passengers were shown reading newspapers, playing chess or d even shuffle-boar- d while their great winged carriers cleft the clouds far above the vast expanses of ocean. Novels of highly imaginative fic- tion, typified by the "Mars" stories of Edgar Rice Burroughs, bristled our spines with high jinks on oth- er planets where the members of scientifically superior civilizations flew about the faces of their respective planets In spectacular hops of thousands of miles at a time. Such wild literary entertainment we were wont for fear of appearing too silly to our neighbors, to leave in upstairs bedrooms, reserving the space on the library table for Dickens, Thackeray, Edgar A. Guest and the family Bible. And while deep in our hearts we thought It was "swell" reading, we knew that It was really "Impossible stuff!" Yet, before the year Is out, regular scheduled passenger service will be In effect between the United States and China. Not flying palaces, perhaps, but at lenst flying hotels will soon link the newest and most progressive of the great powers with the oldest and most mysterious of nations on another side of the world. Surprising enough, the giant ships of the air look very much like the artists' conceptions which graced the sensational press of a few years back. Most surprising of all, we accept the real thing with far less amazement than we did Its Imaginative forerunner. Now that the New Era Is actually upon ns, we accept with little wonder the fact that German engineers are planning the construction of a transatlantic air liner that will carry 1,500 persons.

Flying Clipper No. 7, which Is now completed as the first ship ever de signed specifically for transoceanic travel. It will begin service, prob- ably on the route across the Pacific, some time this summer. It Is now finishing tests which so far have proved it to be equal to the bullying of the elements and the once forbidding distance between continents. With its Inception Into service the period of pure experiment will be over. None of the comforts of rail travel need be sacrificed aboard the clipper. Soundproofing of all passenger compartments reduces motor noise so that It is no greater than the unannoylng noise of a pullman car. The passenger deck, 43 feet long, feet bas a ceiling six and one-hahigh, so that even tall men need not stoop In walking. Thirty passengers and a crew of five can be carried. The spacious lounge and dining room seats 10 at a time. For sleeping, the passenger seats can be converted Into twelve single and six double berths; in case of a "full bouse" there are four double berths available In the lf lounge. So far It bas not been decided how to apportion the available space to passengers and cargo. This may depend largely upon the popuair travel. larity of For example, It will be possible with one scheme of distribution to carry 12 passengers, the crew, and a cargo of 2,200 pounds on non-stoflights of 3,000 miles. The clipper has four engines, whose 3,200 developed horsepower can climb 1,000 feet a minute with a load of 51,000 pounds. The plane's cruising speed at 12,000 feet Is 1G3 miles an hour, but It can do 180 and more If necessary. It can soar more than four miles high. Safety Clipper Watchword. Safety has been the watchword In the design of the clipper. If one of the engines should fail, the other three could finish the flight, burden. carrying the 51,000-poun- d Even If two of them should go dead at the same time, the remaining two would maintain the altitude long enough to allow the captain and his men an opportunity to make ready for any emergency. The sea holds no terrors for this remarkable ship. It could make a forced landing In a stormy sea with more ease than the gray gull It resembles. It can land or take off In a sea with waves running five feet high. Former clipper ships have been assisted In the water by pontoons suspended from the wings. No. 7 has a supporting device, new to American design, which Is called a "sponsoon" and might be likened to an additional wing. This sticks out a short distance from each side of the body at water level It serves to house the fuel tanks, also. The No. 7 Is larger In every respect than the clipper ship which recently flew from California to Hawaii and back again. The latter's four engines are each of 700 horsepower, totaling 400 less than fie No. 7. It has a 114-fowing spread, weighs 19.000 pounds empty, 40,000 pounds loaded, and Its maximum cruising range Is 3,000 miles. The new clipper's wings are 130 feet from tip to tip. It weighs 23,100 pounds empty and can add a useful load of 27,000 pounds. Its maximum range Is 4,000 miles. If mileage between stops were reduced the ship could carry 24 passengers and a pay load amounting to several tons to Europe over the route made famous by CoL Charles A. Lindp bergh. With normal stopping periods Included, a ship of this type could fly from New York to London in about 33 hours, averaging 100 miles an hour. That Is less than the time In the center of the wing. No. 7 Is truly a symbol of the steps ahead which have been made in transcontinental air travel. France Is Unking op even Its most distant colonies with the French capital by means of ships of this size, one of which bas already been completed, the This ship Is the largest seaplane in the world, with a wing-spreof nearly 50 meters and engines which develop more than 5,200 horsepower. It weighs 37 tons and has a crew of eight Service has already started between the French capital and points In French Colonial Africa. The Netherlands have ordered new Douglas planes for transcontinental lines. Service has been going along on schedule for some time between the United States and various Soutb American points served by Airways. The Graf Zeppelin Is so regular In its schedule between Germany and Brazil that no one mentions Its arrivals and departures any more. Use Isolated Islands. Since early this year, American ships have been busy carrying supplies of all kinds food, clothing, cows, chickens, tools and building materials to once Isolated Islands In the Pacific ocean, so that they can be converted into habitable landing stations In the most Important of all the new sea routes, the one from the United States to China. The longest hop on this Journey will be the one from California to Hawaii, a distance of 2,400 miles, to be covered in a little more than 17 hours, as the clipper commanded by Captain Mustek covered It a few weeks ago. From Hawaii, the planes will go to Guam, Wake, Midway, the Philippine Islands and Canton, China. England, France and Holland air services have attempted to lay the plans for air services to China, but have been stopped at the Chinese border. Germany alone of the European nations has been able to get In with air lines. We hold this advantage: Rapid and uninterrupted flight Is possible across the Pacific, while land flight from European nations to China face the obstacle of frequent stops for Inspection when boundary crossing International lines. . Russian Marvel Crashes. With all the clipper ships considered, perhaps the most unusual of all the giants of the 'air was the Russian ship, the Maxim Gorki It weighed 42 tons, carried 63 persons, had eight engines of a total of 7,000 horsepower, flew 150 miles an hour and cost $4,350,-00- 0. In It were a complete photographic studio, a plant an electrically drlv.n rotary printing press capable ol turning out 8,000 newspapers an hour, a radio broadcasting studio, talking movie equipment a restaurant-loung- e, 16 telephones, an observaf tlon saloon, business offices, sleep tng quarters and a sound amplifier system. It was used, of course, for Soviet propaganda purposes. The crashing of the Gorki, with the loss of everyone on board, during maneuvers over Moscow, was something of a shock to the builders of all large airplanes. It must be pointed out, however, that the accident was no fault of the ship. A pilot of a smaller plane, stunting against orders, ran Into It, head-on- .
