Of the three American planes that started overseas the NC-4 is only one to reach the shores of Europe. Yet it was owing to organization of the attempt as a threefold endeavor that it has The misfortunes which overtook the NC-1 and the NC-3 were to no lack in the machines or in the brave and capable men who d them. The NC-1 and the NC-3 were put out of commission exactly such insurmountable obstacles as had been foreseen to Le ble from the undertaking. The likeliest way to reach a goal the path to which is beeet dangers is to adppt team work, to the end that if some fail, there—perhaps only one—will go on to the end. A This American plan has admirably justified itself. Needl»ss has been reduced. Full opportunity has been secured for ob- tion and record that will be of the highest practical value for future of flying. _) The plane that had most trouble at the start is the one that destined to finish—alone. . It will always be a matter for congratulation that Lieut. Com- Read was permitted to push on to Lisbon in full command the NC-4, despite the fact that Commander Towers of the NC-3, in charge of the expedition as a whole, failed, through no fault ol own, to fly further than the Azores. ' It is the American way to like to see a man who has earned his Tuék given the chance to end his task with undivided glory. H But, though Read commands the NC-4, there is no fear the of his companions aboard will be forgotten. Read, Stone, linton, Breese, Rodd, Rhodes—they will be remembered as long as eat American achievements are recorded.

Dismantle it, take it to pieces, pack it and with every fe and precaution ship it back to the U. 8.

Copyrisht, 1019, by the Press Publishing Co. (The New York Evening World). Imagination in Your Work, NE of the greatest factors in a Person's success is imagina- ton. and yet few people realize its importance or know how imagi- nation really operates, Many people think that Indefinite effort is imag- ination, that roaming around in ideas ja @ true use of imagination, Dream- ing schemes of enormous success—in. no particular place, in no particular way—is not imagination; it is only vague thinking as a whole, The finest imagination is the art of drawing together real images, real actions, real substances In new forms; it is expressing ingenuity in the use of on knowledge and ideas: it Is not interested in illusions, im- practical schemes of indefinite prod- ucts, Seeing the cottage In the lum- ber pile, visioning the orchard and the wheat field on the barren plain, or calculating how to use the mole lar motions of the rise and fall of the ocean's waves is the idealization of real problems in the use of known powers to create other effects, Many pele complain that’ their work is monotonous, is full of dull routine, is decidedly prosaic and tire- some. Much of the world’s work is #0, Much of the main actions of life But no vo- cation is wholly so, few are largely if we are willing to read into them some kinds of our own versa- Ulity, Even the bookkeeper’s figures may be little men, jumping along with their various loads and jobs, ‘epre- senting 90 much done and so much to do, Gevera’ when a man says his work is oppressively routine, that (here is no interest in it, I find thir he is lacking in imaginaticn, often in even the skilfulness that makes a simple pleco of work easily done I talked to a farmer once who ovm- plained, not that his work was bard and poorly paid, but that it was dull, wnonotonous and uninteresting, In ten minutes J called bis attention to more curiosities, more beautiful ings, more Birange actions on the part of nature, than he had ever noticed in his life before, He had not used his imagmation; things simply “bugs,” or “weeds” or mals" If we stop to consider a moment, 80, aere “ani- we must realize that the greater part of every invention, of all business progressive steps, of the possibilities of economic improvements, are results of constructive imagination and versatility ‘n the use of real things and necessities, Not alone are the visiony of the world’s Miltons and Shakespeares the products of imag- ination, The Brooklyn bridges and the air- Panes, the subway and the radio- gram are products of imagination and reason combined, of the idealization of facts and the measurement of nat~ ural substances and laws. One who has a reasonable amount of imag.nation ts always alert to the chance to use it in his work, alert to discover improved ways and means of accomp.ishment, All of one's imag- inings may not be practical, but all are useful, because each one brings something to the judgment. Executives are always looking for employees who use their imagination, who, have commercial or operative vision, problem is going to work out, Hiteh this kind of commercial vision up with reason, experience and good common sense, and the result is bound to be progress for the indus- try, progress and relaxation for one- self. Thousands of people hold their pos sitions down rather than up. One who expects his superior to do ail of his thinking, imagining and creative work for him, will never gain that superior's place nor another equal to its responsibilities, Invest your imagination i» your work, FE.

Mrs. Jarr Is Moved by a Belated Impulse of the Feminine Cosmic Urge T was a day of summer in its ad» lescence, The front windows in the Jurr flat were wide open. From the street below came fhe shouts of playing children, terrifying to hear—as with reckless disregard of life and limb they darted under the wheels of trucks and motor cars. “What is so rare as a day at this time of the year?” sald Mr, Jarr, as |he lolled by the window, smoking "Ah, these are days of delight, in- | “I'm glad you think so!” said Mrs. \Jarr peevishly. “But I'm so nervous It can't keep still, This house is in 'a frightful state and we can't get that awful landlord to do a thing. I do declare we shouldn't stay here if he doesn’t paper the flat throughout and ‘paint all the woodwork, and yet I suppose he'd be glad if we'd move so he could charge other people more jrent than he does us!” } “Why won't he paper and paint for us?” asked Mr. Jarr, | “I don't know; landlords do nothing for old tenants,” replied Mrs, Jarr. “Mrs, Kittingly is going to move for the very same reason There were people in yesterday looking at her flat, and the agent showed them a book of patterns for new wall paper, And yet he wouldn't do a thing for Mrs, Kit- tingly any more than he'll do for me,” said Mrs, Jarr, “Well, here's a good scheme,” said Mr, Jarr, “I like this street because it's convenient"—— “To that Gus's place on the cor- ner!" interrupted Mrs, Jarr in a grim aside, “But that's got to Ulose soon, thanks to Prohibition!” “1 like it because it's convenient,” repeated Mr. Jarr, as if he had not heard her, “Now, what's to prevent us from moving into Mrs, Kittingly'’s fiat, and her from moving into ours?" “Ahem! So you could help her carry bric-a-brac?” remarked Mrs, Jarr very coldly indeed, I hotice } 4 never want to give me a }and when there is anything to do around this flat!

She's been travelling from Atlantic City) 9, and is tired out?” “Well, suppose [ did?" snapped Mrs. | Jarr, “I didn’t mean for you to do '* as if it were a pleasure to you. You're not so quick helping me.” “Oh, never mind the person ia question!” said Mr, Jarr, “I just suggested we trade flats, as she's soing to move, you say, and you have the migratory bug yourself, Women always do get it a couple of times 4 year—generally in the spring, I Suppose it's a feeling that survives from the old pastoral cays when women did the moving and the pitch- ing of tents and the men drove flocks,” “And do you think in the pastoral age that patriarchs could never speak oY any one but a grass widow?" asked Mrs, Jarr, “Well, perhaps that was because the patriarchs were pastoral, Grass may have appealed to them," sug- gested Mr, Jarr, "Grass widows or sod widows in their weeds!" “Never you mind trying to be a patriarch, we'll keep away from Mrs, Kittingly’s flat, either ‘before or after she moves from it,” said Mrs, Jarr, “The Rangles, then,” suggested Mr. Jarr, “I'll bet Mrs. Rangle has been feeling the migratory urge before and since May day, and wants to be In an atmosphere of furniture vans, broken china and the smell of yellow soap and hot water.” “A splendid plan to exchange flats with the Rangles, | don’t think!” sald Mrs. Jarr. “The landlord is the same and he wouldn't do a thing for an old tenant in a new flat half as quickly as he'd do it for a new tenant In an old fat.” “Well,” said Mr. Jarr, “couldn't the Rangles and we both move at the same time in aeroplanes and keep up at an altitude of say, a thousand feet in the air, waiting for the landlord to fix our flat for them and their flat for us? Look how the seaplanes of the navy flew across the Atlantic,” “Oh, I guess you think you're funny!” snapped Mrs, Jarr, “If I move I'm gving to move to better apartments, and I wouldn't trust. myself and = my _— ohil- dren in airships either, although I suppose they would sult you and Mrs, Kittingly!
