Boel. wio was sent to Soupd Amorica by the Aero Club of Belgium 2o gather aero-d; mie data on the flight of big birds, sailed for Belgium yester- day with photographs of the cofdor's aerial evolutions and abundant notes on binocular observations. He was unable to get a motion picture camera close encugh to the birds to obtain good're- sults. Regarding his study of the flights of the birds, M. Boel said: “The condors flight has always seemed marvelous because the bird ap- peared to fly continuously where it willed without flapping its wings, even in seemingly stlil air. I came here to find out how the condor did it, with the idea of getting some light on the prob- lem of motorless airplane flight. Wing Motion Slight. I have learned that it is only in the | that the condor is able any length of time without wing and then only while &imospheric ons continue suitable. To at- to fly cond| tain an altitude or take a determined direction the condor, like other birds, uses its wings. When the atmospheric conditions are propitious the bird econ- omizes ite energy by soaring on air currents. But it expends this energy when its equilibrium is broken by at- heric contingencies. jometimes the large bird merely nses the vibration of small wing feathera, or the slightest flapping, which fs hardly noticeable. The condor is un- able to sustain itse'f without wing mio- tion near the <arth. “As the result of my studies here T have come to the conclusion that the theories that lead to the expectation of motorlese flight can be applied only to very special conditions. Therefore they will be ineffective toward making for progress in aviation." R R “Kid” McCoy’s Mother Dies. LOS ANGELES, November 22.—Mra.

One thousand two hundred and ‘elghty-fiye cities sang Christmas carols last year, according to a sur- vey just issued by the National Bu- reau for the Advancement of Music, Ten years ago outdoor Christmas eve caroling especially by itinerant groups through the streets of town and village, was almost unknown in this country, the bureau sald, adding “the beautiful old custom that had once been universal in England had all but died.” The ‘widespread adoption of the community Christmas tree did much to bring the carols to public atten- tlon again, the bureau explains, yet the singing of the charming old Yul tide songs for the public benefit was all too iInfrequent and the general absenco of the traveling bands of carolers in their picturesque re capes “was particularly regrettable A year after the bureau began working activ for expansio the custom, and tow e singing carols. This was in 1918. In 1919 110 | cities and towns were engaged in the movement: in 1920, 383: 1921, 712; 1822, 1,17 The figure for 1923, 1,285, does not Include 450 cities and towns Included in the previous sur- veys but from which no reports were recelved as to 1923, although a large percentags of them undoubtedly' ob- rved the custom, the bureau ex- plains.
