AIR PLANS HALTED BY WORLD FLIGHT New Explorations Will Have to Wait for Indefinite Period — Washington, Dec. 12,—The “hope chest” of the Army Alr Service, con- | taining suggestions for new con- quests of the alr in many parts of | the world, has been smashed. Its | eonditlon now 1s such that at least | #ix or seven monthy will pass before its top can be lifted and a scheme of any sort extracted for serious con- sideration. Major General Maspn M. Patrick, chief of the Alr Bervice and promot. or of the successful wokld flight recognizes the existing situation and is wiliing to wait awhile before he approves a new expedition by army aviators into still unexplored air routes. This decision, in part, at least, was compelled by results of the world flight. While the books have not been completely balanced, officers familiar with the financial phases of the globe encircling fight estimate that the costs of that record breaking achievement, expressed in dollars, will total $100,000, Indirect costs, including expenses of naval patrols and co-operation, fuel, tlon of supplies, and material used by the fllers themselves, will amount at least to another $100,000, and probably more Outlay Damaged “Hope Chest”. The money outlay caused much of the damage to the “hope chest.” transporta- | suggested, One of the suggested projects which will be found close to the top of the “chest" when it s réopened, as 1t ‘probably will be some day, 1 that of a proposed flight from the West Coast of Hawall, It may be that this proposal will be given serl. ous study next spring, or summer. Army fllers reallze, however, that the Pacific, hecause of the order of things existing between the land and naval forces, is cssentially & navy problem, Theretore, they may have the Hawali flight to the navy avia- tors, if the latter wish to undertake it. Valuable Undertaking, Army pllots interested in the pro- jeet believe it would be both a prace tical and a vdluable undertaking. Greater distance than that from the California coast to Hawali already have been successfully negotiated by air, but never over a water expansc |of that size, without a stép. It has been claimed that the distance, great | {as it is, would be discounted to the| | fifers’ advantage by favorable trade ;“‘lm!s and that this condition, to- {gether together with the assistance |of a surface patrol along the line of | flight, would go far toward removing | much of danger from a project that | otherwise would be more or less | hazardous. Another fiight regarded as a pos- | | sibility but admittedly a more re- mote venture involves a trip from | some point on the east or west coasts | |of the United States to Ca Horn | |and return, S0 far as is known | Cape Horn has never been circum- navigated by air, nor has any avlator | yet taken a machine down either | coast of South America and returned {by way of the epposite shore line. { Such a venture would be more| {than a novel affair, The success of NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, WORLD'S SALMON PUT IN LAKE ONTARIO Atlantic and Pacific Contribute Fish Which Grow Fat in Waters of Great Lakes, Ottawa, Dee. 12.—Salmon from the | seaboards of America live and grow fat in the waters of Lake Ontarlo and the streams of Brifish Colum- bia, according to a bulletin lssued by the Canadian’ Department of Marine and Fisherles announcing success of a six-year Fully matured sockeyes, natlve .to the Pacifio Coast, have been taken from Lake Ontarlo this ycar and| two-year-old Atlantic salmon have | been caught in the Pacific coming | down the Cawlchan river of Van-| couver Island. | oye have been releascd in Lake On-| tario each year since 1918, and 500,- | 000 Atlantic salmon have been plant- | od {n the rivers of British Columbla | Laat year's Canadian fisheries pro- duction was estimated at $4 with British Columbia, having the most extensive salmon reeources on the continent, accounting for 650 per- | cent of the business, 8almon, hali- but, lobster and codfish constitute 69 percent of the Dominion produc- tlon.
