French Aeronautical Experts
Say It Can Be Done.
Paris.—‘‘Around the world in 20
days” will be practical in a few years,
according to calculations of French
aeronautic experts based on the nu-
merous flights from Paris to the Far
Eust accomplished in the last two
years.
From a detailed examination of
these flights it is apparent that the
actual flying time over long distances
was only a small part of the time
taken, due to delays on the ground.
Thus, Pelletier D’Oisy, who flew from
Paris to Saigon, a distance of about
7,000 miles, in 18 days, lost three days
at Karachi, India; another day at
Agra and three more at Calcutta.
The Americans, Brock and Schlee,
flew from Paris to Rangoon, 6,300
miles, in ten days, haying lost one day
at Constantinople, owing to passport
formalities.
Of course, none of these men flew
at night. It is therefore deduced
that, even at present, the Paris-Java
flight, of a little more than 8,000 miles,
can be made in seven days. As the
circumference of the earth is 24,000
miles, the entire circuit could be made
in three weeks. But for this it will
be necessary to arrange the various
“jumps,” each of which would be
made by a different machine with a
fresh pilot.
The airplanes of 1927 are vastly^su-
perior to those of three years ago as
far as the motors and radius of action
are concerned, but the limit of human
endurance has not varied. This is es-
pecially the case when it is a question
of a constant effort over ten or more
days.
As far as commercial flying has
progressed it may be taken that 1,200
miles a day is the average distance
possible. When special measures have
been taken to make night flights safe
the time for the world girdling flight
will be appreciably diminished.
If Child Grows Fat,
Consider Baby Rabbit!
New York.—Mothers who are ap-
palled at the bean-stalk speed with
which children seem to grow out of
their clothes can be thankful that
little boys do not sprout up as fast as
rabbits, cows and guinea pigs.
Charts comparing the growth of
children with that of animals have
been worked out by Dr. Samuel Brody
of the Missouri agricultural experi-
ment station. Reporting his results
in Science Magazine, Doctor Brody
show’s that a child between four and
fourteen years of age grows at the
rate of only 10 per cent a year. Re-
duced to days, this means that in less
than four days the young animal gains
as much as the child gains in a year.
The juvenile period in man spreads
over an enormously long period of
time compared with that in domestic
animals Doctor Brody states.
Children who have not grown fast
between four and twelve years often
shoot up rapidly between twelve and
fifteen. This appears to be in the na-
ture of compensatory growth for an
earlier deficiency, Doctor Brody con-
cludes. Children who have grown
more rapidly in earlier childhood do
not seem to have this acceleration in
their teens.
Dog Aids Dope Thefts
Running Up to $50,000
Philadelphia.—A “drug-snitfing” dog,
which is said to have led its masters
to $50,000 worth of narcotics, jogged
into a trap laid by police recently and
its owner and his pal were captured.
Detectives said that scores of drug-
gists had been robbed by the man with
the dog. According to the authorities,
the dog and his master would saunter
into the drug store and the man would
order a soda. Suddenly the canine
would yelp and dart to the rear of the
si ore. The man would run after him
and would loot the store of all the
narcotics in sight before he left.
Complaint by a West Philade^hia
druggist that the trick had been
worked ip bis store during the last
few months every time he left a new
clerk in charge led to the arrest of
Edward Seay, owner of the dog, and
Thomas Gilinore, alleged “lookout.”

Sam Pickard
says:
“Radio is probably the great-
est boon to education since
the printing press was in-
vented.” Mr. Pickard, for-
merly chief of the radio ser-
vice of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, is now a Fed-
eral Radio Commissioner.
The Department of Agricul-
ture is the largest user of
radio for informative pur-
poses in the world. Countless
families are profiting by its
market and weather reports
and educational programs for
men, women and children.
