The departinent of commerce would have considered it too risky for that and wouid adopt the same attitude today toward a plane similarly con- structed. Lindbergh's gross weight as he took off for the farmous flight far be Yond the gross weight permissible un der the regulations, and he depende entirely for visibility periscope and on occasionally stick. tng his head outside. In normal! position a pilot sits for- | ward with windows on ail sides, but Lindbergh had gasoline tanks ar- ranged in a way which prevented him from looking ahead and used his Periscope to take off, fix on a given object and fly in a straight line. ‘Treated As an Experiment The Spirit of St. Louis, however, Was given an experimental license, | which is often issued for the de- velopment of an experimental type of ship. It had been especially designed @s a plane for long distance flight and its useful load was principally fuel, which made up most of the gross weight. Naturally the load factor was in excess of the wing and power loading that would normally be used in a commercial plane of similar type. Hence, it is pointed out by Major Clarence M. Young, director of acro- nautics in the department of com- merce, no one is in any position to criticize what Lindbergh apparently felt was the most practical method of design for his purpose. The same general type of plane, with forward visibility, has been sub- sequentiy approved for commercial use and in the absence of large extra tanks and various special instru- forward on a) ments the additional space has been | converted into passenger space to the j extent of the approved gross weight. ‘The other trans-Atlantic and trans- | Pacific flyers, with planes all filled up | with gas, have similarly been given | experimental licenses, though such licenses have been withheld from ships which obviously hadn't enough fuel to get across, or were without proper navigating instruments or good navigators. Nearly all planes are licensed now. It’s compulsory when they are go- ing to fly across state lines and man- ufacturers found that they couldn't unless they were officially explains Major Young, here are three essentials for an ap- | proved type certificate permitting un- limited manufacture of a plane. “First, we must be satisfied with the complete engineering data, showing specifications for structural design, load factors, dimension of pieces used, kind of materials, type of construc- tion, power plant and so on. Then comes a flight test of the i ship. We see whether it meets the department's minimum requirements for maneuverability, stability, taking off and landing. Maker Must Have Stability third point is the manufac- bility to produce, which con- he adequacy of his equipment, personnel and financing. We don't want anyone to capitalize on a mere certificate of appro’ “The standards rigid and have to be met. They are determined by our engineers here in the depart- ment.” The department's branch of aero- nautics has about 70 men in the field, including about 10 engincers who are engaged in checking engineering data. There is an engineering field sec- tion for field approvals, a factory in- spection corps and a field inspection force which passes on the pilots and ;mechanics. The branch has rapidly | become one of the largest divisions in | the department. When Tony drove away immed Ately after breakfast to spen Thanksgiving Day with Sandy Ross's parents on Myrtle street, bringing her isit to the Jonson farm to an after the others had gone into the house. Her heart was too heavy for her to join in the clamorous gayety of that strangely dissimilar yet strongly united family within. ‘To the girl who loved Tony Tarver bet- ter than any person in the world, it seemed that she had said good-bye forever, not merely for a few da: true that there were still remaining before Tony Tarver would be submerged forever in Mrs. Richard Warrington Talbot! But here on the Jonson farm, where she had come for a gay, carefree time but where she had been forced into a sudden maturity, the Tony Tarver whom Crystal Hathaway had known and loved for more than three years hhad ceased to exist. It was the fu- ture Mrs. Talbot who was driving back to Stanton, head high but heart heavy, blue-diamond eyes somber with fierce determination, lovely mouth grim. When Crystal did go in she was able to slip away to the room she had shared with Tony, almost un- noticed because of the hubbub and bustle in Cherry's living room and dining room. The carly morning clamor and the fierceness of her pity for Tony exhausted her. Trembling, she slipped off her shoes and stretched out on the bed. After awhile she drifted into an uneasy ic ways to rescue Tony from Dick ‘albot and his father, upon whose | broad, benign forehead a pair Satanic horns had sprouted—occ: sioning no surprise at all to the dreamer. Just as she was melodramatically | interrupting the marriage with some preposterous charge against Dick Talbot, Crystal awoke. The uproar in the church translated itself into a muted but almost equally terrifying clamor from downstairs. She _lis- tened, dazed, then smiled. All of Cherry's guests must have arrived, but judging from the joyous bedlam the family must number at least fifty, instead of only seventeen. She realized then that she was the sev- enteenth, and that courtesy de- manded that she join the others. One of the family. One of a fam- ily of seventeen—she who would be {entirely alone in the world now if her cousin, Bob Hathaway, had not given her shelter and a place in this big, queerly assorted group who had gathered today to eat Thanksgiving dinner with the only black sheep of the whole lot. That was one of the divine things about family, Crystal realized, with a lump in her throat, as she dusted powder upon her pearly- Pale cheeks. Cherry had brought anxiety to more than half of those People down below, but they had loved her and stood by her because she was one of the family. “And now they're standing behind me, too,” Crystal told herself, love gushing warmly into her heart.

But the important figures to be seen about the trading posts of “the floor” are dapper, lithe, well groomed individuals, who might well have been lifted from the pages of a men’s fash- fon catalog. They suggest polite club- Tooms and swanky salons. ‘That is, until the gong rings for the 15-minute lunch recess: Then, if you Please, it is possible to observe Mr. Stuyvesant Fish or that young whan who married Consuelo Vanderbilt munching sandwiches on the floor, like the veriest clerk at the corner soda fountain.
