Describes First _ Flight Over The Open Sea

Imagine being presented with what was supposed to be s. 0061-109 for $10,000 by the president of I- republlc, only to 11nd‘ i080 7°“ possessed ‘nothing but s. torn 1119* of nswspsperl That ls what hell?‘ pened w J. A. n. uccul-dy. 01° Canadian aviator who, in 1911. made the first airplane fllsht from Florida to Cuba. The trip and its unusual sequel is described by Per- 0y '1‘. Cole m an article entitled "Canada's First Airmen," the sec- ond part of which appears in MM- 1ean‘s Magazine for October 1, as follows:

“Perhaps one of the most notable feats of aviation ever accomplished yet wlthal one of the least known. was MoCurdyls flight from Key West, Fol-ids, to Havana, Cuba. in February, 1911, for a. $10,000 prlw- This was the first flight ever made over open sea on the North Ameri- can continent. MbCurdy describes it ln details, as well as its after- math.

"Before leaving Key West I Went into s. ttnsmiths shop and had hlm make two long, narrow tubes, alr- tlght, which I strapped to the un- ‘derslde of the lower wlnss- In ed- ;ditlon to this safety measure, lest |I should fall into water, I secured a thirty-seven inch automobile tire inner tube, and pumped it up un" til it looked like a balloon, then tied it securely under the plane, 1 figured this would keep me afloat until 1 was picked up, in case the motor should fall, and it was a good thing for. me that I took these precautions.

"The start was made from the beach at Key West, and everything went along fine for a time. The all‘ was bumpy over the sea, but the engine gave no sign of trouble un- til we came within half a mile 01 Havana. Then lt stopped suddenly, and literally went to pieces, due to fatigue. Engines of those days were not the reliable affairs they are to- day, but it had been working con- tinuously for two hours and twen- ty-six minutes, which I later found was g, world's. record endurance flight at that time. At any rate, I managed to land on the water without upsetting, although? the waves were rolling ten or twelve feet high, and managed to stay afloat until picked up by a Cuban destroyer. I was unharmed, and so. apparently, was the plane, but it was blidly damaged wifen the sall-

ors hauled it aboard. the destroyer.

“ ‘I was taken to a hostel and treated with the greatest courtesy. Later I "received g note from the President of Cuba informing me that the presentation of the prize would take place the next evening at one of the largest theatres in Havana. I was to. receive a cheque for $10,000 as well as a handsome silver‘ cup to uuus emorate the flight. Of course, 1 was there. Sev- eral przsans, including the Presid- ent, made speeches which I could not understand, and then 1 was culled on the platform to receive the prize. The President handed me a huge envelope covered with ribbons and official seals, as well as the cup, which I left standing

|on the platform, as I thought, for

the tlmg being. I made my Wily back to the box, and once there, opened up the envelope. All 1t con- tained was a. torn piece of news- paper. And I never got the cheque or anything else," he added, "sl- though a picture of it appeared in all tho Cuban newspapers as well as in some United States papers. I didn't even get the cup, for when I went back to obtain it, it had al- so disappeared.”

ATTACK llliRlil PRBBLEMS Nllll

LONDON, Sept. 28.-Scientists and philosophers from the four corners of the world are packing their meet- ings of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. Dis- tl- ' ju- ' find ‘ J‘ room only. And from the numer- ous sections new trains of thought are starting. _

Emeritus Professor Edwin Cannon told the economists session today a stationary or declining population would not remedy unemployment. “Unemployment,” he said, "is not really a modern phenomenon. The crowds of beggars who collected their daily dole in the middle ages from the monasteries, private way- fsrers and householders were per- haps as large a proportion of the population as the normal registered unemployed of today. ‘

The Question of Wages

“The thoughtless outsider is apt to say that both the unemployed and those still employed should ne- cept lower wages and so, by cheap- ening products, extend the demand for them. As a. temporary pallia- tive this may sometimes be reason- able, but it ls evidently never the best solution of the difficulty.

"What diminution in demand calls for," Professor Cannon declared, "is redistribution of the labor force, fewer persons being allotted to the branch of industry‘ of which the products are less ln demand, and more persons to other branches."

Sir Halford Macklnder saw in world planning the only alternative to blind conflict. Delivering the presidential address to the geo- graphy section he said: “If our civil- lzatlon is not to go down in blind lnterneclne conflict. there must be development of world planning 011i of regional planning, just 3g m. glonal planning has come out of town planning."

Sir John Russell, in the agricul- ture section, suggested the modern scientist ln the interests of the far- mer might be asked to halt for a time, but science could not stop it- self. "Science has brought more bountiful harvests than we know what -' to do with," he declared. “With this plethora of products of the soil, with these gifts of nature poured upon us, not merely bounti- ful but torrentially so that many of our farmers are likely to be sub- merged in the process-one might well be tempts‘ to ask should not the scientific worker halt for s time."

Slr John saw in the elusive British housewife and difficulty m market- lng agricultural produce. She knew little about food. Having glanced at a. bewildering display, she usually chose what was cheapest or gave the least trouble, ‘he said, not because she was ldle, but because in these days it was impossible to get domes- tic help. So there had been a great increase in the consumption of tin- ned snd preserved foods.

l In the engineering section, Sir Al- fred Ewing, fulfilling a curious trust, ‘ bore witness to a. prophecy that fill- ed. Blr Alexander Bramwell, great engineer, at the jubilee meeting in York in 1881, prophesied the death of the steam engine. He declared I that by 1931 it would be a museum ,curloslty. Before his death he left la sum for investment from which is honorarium was to be paid in 1931 “to the gentleman selected by the councli" who would prepare s paper with the 1081 prophecy as the text.

“We must now assign that proph- ecy a place in the long list of pro- phecles that have turned out to be over-statements," ssld Slr Alfred, who had been deputed to fulfil the trust. "Steam ls neither dead nor dying. On the contrary its use has been immensely developed both on land and sea."
