Dodge were married 1921. how many lives had gone to the devel- opment of the airplane from the types that used to be to my Spirit of St. Louis. Looking back at that, I feel it quite safe to prophesy, as I do in all my speeches, that before very long there will be a regular service across the Atlantic. It won't be easy. Nothing of that sort is easy. But now that the first flight has been made, we have got an objective. We know that it is peusible and that work can do it. %he regularity of the air service atross the English Channel is one of e dP W Parted by Court : Mrs. Horace E. Dodge, Jr. U e Horace E. Dodge, Jr. Lower: I saw no ship or any sign of life on the big sea. The only companions I had were the birds. T would like to know just how far they fly from land and what they live on. Some of these big sea gulls must cross the Atlantic almost as quickly as I did. I found them about what seems to me nearly halt way across, flying around, and saw them settle on the water. I never knew before that a bird could fly such a distance and find food out in the middle of the ocean. There can't be thd most interesting things I have meef, here. From Le Bourget air- Plafies set out in every direction as yagularly as trains, It is just like & Lig harbor, and I suppose it is all the more interesting to me because all these airplanes go to different coun- tries, and not just across the same country, as we do in America. Has 1,823 Flying Hours. There are one or two things about my trip across which I would like to add to the accounts which have al- been given in the 'New York In the first place, I entered the other day the time of my flight in my log book, and I find that in the five vears I have been flying I have made 7,190 flights, totaling 1,823 hours 40 minutes, on a conservative esti- mate. That 33 hours’ single flight was only & small part of the total. Last year 1 flew 763 hours. In all, I have car- ried 5951 passengers, and I am glad to say I have never had an accident either to any one of them or to myself. I wasn't, in that way, entirely un- prepared for the. flight I made. It seems tonight a very long time since I took off from New York, but it is only a week this morning. That tells something of the time saving an air- plane service will be. The fastest ships which left the day I did would only be getting in now. And that trip of mine was in no way uncomfortable, ‘There were things I saw I cannot find words to describe, For instance, I saw my first iceberg. There must have been 15 of them, gll in all, eastward from Newfoundland. Between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland 1 saw ice flelds, but no icebergs; after New- foundland I saw icebergs, but no ice flelds. Some big bergs were very beautiful and looked enormous, even from the height at which I was flying. Assured by North Star. Another moment which gave me a great thrill was during the night, when traveling above the clouds. From that time until the moon rose was the most uncomfortable part of my journey. It got very dark and only the brightest stars shone through the haze. I could see the North star, and that was a great ald in giving me & general kind of assurance of direc- tion. But I was glad when the moon came up above the clouds. It is dreary flying without any light at all, and when 1 planned the flight I want- ed to have the moon with me. She was already past the full, but bright And comforting. And those who have never flown above the clouds in moon- light haven't seen one of the most Jovely things the world has to show. Tt is fairyland up there, and an espe- cially comforting fairyland to a human when he knows that down below the clouds there i8 fog and sleet or rain and he is flying through a clear sky. In another of these articles T am going to tell about Paris and how I was received. 1 am in the middle of that yet, and can’t write clearly about it. So let’s go back to flying. Flying Safe as Autoing. Flying is just as safe, if not safer, than motoring on the ground. But we have still too many crashes and acci- dents. I don’t think our average is higher in America than elsewhere, but, speaking only of America, I think we have got to do better groundwork. Tao many planes are sent up which are not quite as well prepared as they should be. Then our pilots are mostly rather inexperienced. The older, ex- perienced men are getting fewer and fewer, and in our service the majority are young pilots. Of course, these young pilots are growing older and more experienced every day, but at the present the demand is somewhat in excess of the supply of skilled men, and the progress of aviation makes the demand heavier and heavier. But 1 expect that will right itself, and meanwhile careful groundwork is the best assurance against accident. 1 have just unpacked the emergency outfit that I took with me, and it was rather melancholy business to think that T had the same ldea as the Frenchman, Coli, and took a fishing line and a couple of hooks with me in case I landed in the sea and had to fish for a living. Another thing I took was a needle and thread. That may sound foolish, but in case I came down I had planned to make a kite with the canvas of the wings. I had a good stout knife to cut the cross pieces and & ball of string, on the chance that some ship might have seen me flying my kite in the middle of the Atlantic. Carried Lifeboat Flares. ad also four lifeboat flares in tubing to set off in the night i¢ 1 heard the sound of a ship's engine or saw her lights. These things were much to eat where the water is very deep, though I suppose in the Gulf Stream there are alw: weeds and perhaps fish near the surface. About a hundred miles off the coast of Ireland I saw some porpoise, but except birds that was all I saw. I THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C.., SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1927. TRAFFIC ACCIDENT HURT 4 CHILDREN Two Men Sustain Injuries in Crashes Involving Au- tomobiles. Four children, the oldest 14 years old, were injured In traffic accidents vesterday. Three-year-old Lawrence Martin, 1237 E street southeast, was knocked down in front of his home by an au- tomobile driven by Raymond A. Truitt, 722 Thirty-second street, southeast, and taken to Providence Hospital, where he was treated for minor bruis- es_about the head and face. While playing in the street in front of his house, at 1438 Columbia road, Thomas Montgomery, six years old, was struck by an automobile operated by Ben Lust, 131 Webster street. but escaped with bruises about the hips. He did not require hospital treatment. Bruised on Head. Jack Mahoney, six years old, 726 Sil- ver Spring avenue, Silver Spring, Md., stepped from a’bus at Georgia and Hastern avenues yesterday and was knocked down by an automobile driven by Marcel Zimmerman, 24 years old, Silver Spring, Md., who picked the boy up and took him to Walter Reed Hospital, where he was treated for bruises on the head. ‘While crossing the street at Con- necticut and Florida avenues, Julia Little, 14 years old, of Cleveland, was hit by an automobile driven by James N. Larry, 25 years old, 1326 Randolph street. He took her to Emergency Hospital, where she was treated for bruises about the body. Jumps From Ta: After his automobile had_collided with a street car on the Highway Bridge last night, Robert N. Stahle, 214 East Clifton Terrace was taken to Emergency Hospital and trehted for a cut on the nose. He was then taken to the fourth precinct and charged with operating an automobile while drunk. Thomas Jones, 31 years old, 1525 1 street, jumped from the running board of a taxicab at Fourteenth and K streets early this morning just in time to get hit by an automobile driven by Owen Douglas Whitcomb, 1322 L street. Jones was taken to Emergency Hos- pital, where he was treated for lacera- tions about the face and a possible fracture of the nose. FIRST DIVISION TO MEET.

After a week of adulation such as no foreigner has ever been glven be- fore in France, the young American temporarily quitted ¥rench soil when the wheels of his monoplane left the runway at Le Bourget field at 12:49 p.m. Accidents Guarded Against. The precautions taken against acei- dents at the field kept the crowd to & minimum there, but in Paris every open space was jammed with people eager for a sight of Lindbergh in flight. They gave him a vocal fare- well that seemed to come froin every heart. Lindbergh had his own way of say- ing au revoir. He circled over the Arc de Triomphe in homage to the unknown Poilu and then, flying at an altitude of only 200 yards or so, went twice around the Eiffel Tower. The Chamber of Deputies next drew him. Then he headed straight for the Place de la Concord, filled with an excited throng that shouted, cheered and wept as he passed over. Just as his plane topped the huge needle in the center of the big tpace he dropped his last message. “Good-by, Paris,” it said. “You have been good to me. Good-by.” Wild Scramble for Message. There was a wild scramble for the precious bit of paper, and the first to reach it was an American. Then there was another scramble, to take it from him, and_the gendarmes had to interfere. While they were straightening out the tangle some- body snatched the paper and disap- peared in a taxicab, while the dis- appointed ones shouted maledictions after him. Lindbergh, after dropping the paper, dipped once more, straighteried out, and gaining _altitude rapidly, headed north over Le Bourget toward Bel- gium. At Senlis, whose mayor had asked him to show himself to the people, he again flew close to the earth, dip- ped over the town and dropped a tiny American flag. In deference to Lindbergh’s request, there was no actual escort. The mili- tary planes detailed by the French government to go with him to the Belgian frontier followed the Spirit of St. Louis at a respectful distance. Three other planes, headed by that of Commandant Weiss, a friend of the American flyer, flanked the mili- tary planes as a personal tribute. Arrives Early at Fleld. Smiling, and fresh as a daisy, the flyer arrived from PaYis at the air fleld at an early hour, went over his machine with scrupulous care and personally assisted in filling the fuel tanks. He was in a jovial mood, chatting and joking with the mech- anicians who for two days had been going over the plane. He thanked them for their work, and then'signed the visitors’ book in the headquarters of Commandant Renvoise, commander of the field. It was apparent that, with all his rellance in his plane, Lindbergh was leaving nothing to chance. He took a kit of tools and tested every nut, bolt and wire, giving most careful atten- tlon to the motor itself. Meanwhile the crowd had begun gathering, and by a little after 10 o'clock had reached lgrge proportions. The preliminary examination over, Lindbergh shut himself into the hangar with two chief mechaniclans and then again went over the machine, this time with particular as to the wings and body dor Herrick, who has been Lindbergh's host during his stay in Mr. and Mrs. Parmeley Her- the Ambassador's son and ughter-inlaw, and Capt. Lhopital, aide to Marshal ¥och, arrived at the field in an embassy car. They were followed closely by Sheldon White- house, counselor of the embassy; Mrs. Whitehouse and other notables. Party Views Monoplane. The whole party was immediately admitted to the hangar, where they had their first really good look at the record-breaking monoplane, ‘Work on the machine went smooth- ly, and shortly after 11 o'clock Lind- bergh stuck the tall of the monoplane through the hangar door, climbed into the cockpit and started the mo- tor for its preliminary run. A huge roar rose from the field as the birdman got into the air, while the aviators present, knowing that the take-off is one of the most dan- gerous parts of a trip, breathed a sigh of relief as the monoplane rose sharply and climbed rapidly. It was the quickest take-off Lo Bourget has seen in a long time, and won the ad- miration of every flyer there. As in his transatlantic flight, Lind- bergh traveled light. His baggage was sent ahead by regular passenger plane, so that his brand-new dress suit would be ready for use at his reception by King Albert, and the dinner to be given in his honor to- night. Unparalleled honors have been heaped upon him this week. In the lapel of his coat he wears the ribbon of the Legion of Honor, conferred by President Doumergue; his memory, modest though he is, must have a distinct impression of cheering crowds gathered at his every appearance to do him honor. He has been received by statesmen, generals and diplomats, feted by the elite of Paris, and his daring exploit has been the sole talk of the average citizen ever since he came to a landing at Le Bourget. Sorel Reads Ode to Flyer. Poems and ballads have been written about him, and last night at a theatrical performance for the benefit of the families of stricken aviators, an ode, “To the Glory of Charles Lindbergh,” specially written for the occasion by Mlle. Jehanne d'Orliac, was declaimed by Cecil Sorel, the famous French actress. - Lindbergh was there, and all eyes were focused on him. As he left the theater, he was greeted by chearing throngs waft- ing in a.downpour of rain. He gave another example of the traits that endeared him to Parisians llast night. Although weary from a long round of receptions, the ransom for his glory, he insisted on going after the theater benefit to a boxing tourney of the Sporting Club of France in aid of the Phare de France —the Association of War Blinded— where the star performers were a blind British former officer, Capt. Lowry; Eugene Criqui and Fred Bretonnel. ~ He autographed two pro- grams which were auctioned for 8,000 francs, and consented to the sale ‘of a letter he had written to the Aero Club of France, which brought 25,000 francs.

KANE'S DANCE RECITAL. Ethel Hoffman Kane gave a de- lightful program last evening in her studio when demonstrations of “motor mental rhythmics* were glven as interpretations of the works of classic, modern and ultra-modern composers. It was more than rhythmic dancing, or Interpretative dancing, those taking part appearing more as actors portray- ing parts. The program included Tschaikowsky’s “Theme and Varia- tions,” Delibes’ ‘“Passepled,” Schu- bert's “Soirees de Vienne,” a Chopin mazurk: four Chopin _ preludes, Bayer's “Waltz,” a Czerny Etude, Mos- kowskl's “Waltz,” German's ‘“Pipes of Pan, a Mozart “Pastorale,” Jrahms’ “Love Waltz,” a Chopin noc- turne, Beethoven's “Ecossaises, Rubinstein’s “Barcarolle,” Middleton’s “Mood,” a Scriabin prelude, a Chopin waltz_and polonaise, Glucl “Ballet d Lento,” Schumann's oaring,” Middleton’s “Slave,” and a Grieg ballade. Of the solo dances “The Slave" created the greatest enthusiasm in the company which witnessed the pro- gram. It is a distinct portrayal of a part and is an excellent example of the technic of interpretation through muscular co-ordination. Other exam- ples of this portion of the work were given in the Chopin preludes No. 6 and 20, when from three to seven dancers molded themselves together, much as is seen in bronze and marble, and by rhythm in muscle and body interpreted the music. The effects are sensed through face and body ex- pression rather than symbols. De- lightful bits of pure rhythmic danc- ing were the Beethoven “Ficossaises,’ the “Pipes of Pan,” and the “Soirees de_ Vienne.” Mrs. Kane was assisted by Kath- erine Heald, Jacqueline Whiting, Ber- nice Safford, Elizabeth Ulman, Rose Littlehales, Alice Gilbert, Dorothy Hoffman Harvey, Nancy Lee Luttrell, Elizabeth Thompson, Margaret Michael- son, Katherine Follin, Katherine Pear- son, Dorothy Bent, Phyllis Stephenson and Esther Hall. The dancers wore gracefully draped costumes of hand- tinted chiffon. Mildred Schulze, pianist, who play- ed the program, aided the dancers ma- terially with her vigorous tone, mark- ed rhythm and artistic phmslng_‘ —— _“Time i{s money,” says the Detroit News, “and in our country if you have one you don't have to do the other.” P4 S\ AMERICANS IN PARJS AID NUNGESSER FUND $14,200 of Million-Franc To- tal for Families of Lost Flyers Subscribed.
