The exact flying time of the Graf Zeppelin's cruise a-round a-round the world was twelve days and eight minutes. To mention those fig-gures fig-gures in scientific achievement is like mentioning ten billion bil-lion dollars in Wall street. No need to -J AaTi-:UR3?jr.DAi enlarge on figures. The Zeppelin frequently made less . than 90 miles an hour. ; At the Sohnieder Cup race airplanes I were prepared to exceed 300 miles an fl I hou. J Thoy could fly , from Tokyo to San , i Francisco in one day. Who doubes t t that their speed will be transferred I i to big bombing planes? ) We need air expapnsion, not re- ,, i trenchment. V Jews in America and other coun-' coun-' hies worried about co-religionstst in J Palestine, may find comfort in the t fact, as regards future events, that ) the British empire cannot allow Arabs to defy British authority, t Let Jerusalem riots get beyond con-1 con-1 rol and the Moslem world becomes H convinced of its ability to defy the British, or convinced that the British kj..' have i had all the fighting they want, and there will be trouble, serious and t widespread. 6- 'i The Jerusalem riots involved not .. j merely the safety of Jews in Pales-' Pales-' tine but the safety of the British emit em-it ' pire wherever Mohammedans are i. numerous. i i To suppress, with a strong hand, the : rioting and murdering in Jerusalem and other parts of Palestine, is not merely a matter of fulfilling obliga- Hons solemnly assumed, but of pro- ,. tecting the integrity of the British em- I1 Pire. !i ' The Vatican was reported to be .J much concerned as to the safety of I church shrines in Jerusalem. If Ar- ! abs were allowed to get the upper hand indefinitely, one of the first i steps prompted by Mohammedan en- i, thusiasm would be the destruction of ". Christian shrines and churches, r ;' Sir Phillip Snowden, who manages i Great Britain's finances, won his fight for a fairer distribution of the j German spoils. And suddenly British I Tories blazed forth in praise of the ! great Snowden. 1 It is amusing to see what happens i when a shoe is on the other foot. In Italy, France, Belgium, Snowden was represented as a fiend incarnate, a pirate and of course a Shylock, when he asked for only part of the money J due him. at ! That must remind us of some things or i that were said about- Uncle Sam 5 "Uncle Shylock" was one name. CAn airplane pilot, assisted by a J farmer, took off near Bellingham, 1 Wash., and before returning seeded I 68 acres in one hour and forty min- 1 utes. The farmer scattered seeds ' from a sack through a door in the cockpit, using about 800 pounds of f alfalfa, timothy, clover and orchard t! j grass seeds. s' j When gigantic machinery plows, harrows and pulverizes the soil in t one operation, when another machine . , harvests, stacks, bales and weighs the (, .! crop in one operation, and airplanes do the sowing, agriculture will join 1 "big business."
