anent what has been achieved in the
march of time,
On last Friday there was hro$gllt
to.a close a ten•year period of acro-
. 'nautical. activity which opened with
tiro 'hat suooeielnl non -atop flight
across the Atlantlo. Few ^ persons
with only a general' knowledge of aoro-
nautice today will remember the
names of ,Alcock and Brown, Fpr, al-
' though no achievement in aviation is
of higher importance, none was so
quickly forgotten,
One must travel a considerable dis-
tance down the record of time after

North America, 1iWe'li hang our hats
on'the wireless towers at Clifden," be
fore he comes to the feats for which
the names of Lindbergh, Chamberlin
and. Byrd are internationally re-
nowned.
Alcock and Brown Set Pace
Viewed in the light of the achieve-
ment of these two early pathfinders,'
the purpose of present stunt and spec
tacular flying across the :Atiantic is
difficult to'under•stancl, Except for the
'non-stop flight from the United States
to Franco made byColonel:Charles A.
Lindbergh and the flight from New
York to Eisleben, Germany, .made by
Chamberlin, who set a new . world's
record in long-distance flying, none.
of the snore or more of trans-Atlantic
flights 'which have agitated' the world
since' Alcock and Brown flew haye
contributed anything to aeronautics
which was not already proven by that
earlier, heroic 'and wholly successful
venture.
After the Alcock and Brown flight
there wasmuch talk of the possibili-
ties of the immediate establishment of
trans-Atlantic airplane service. The'.
same talk followed the flights of. Byrd,
Lindbergh, Chamberlin, Brock and
Sehioe, Amelia Farhat, Roehl, Fitz-
Maurice and Huenfeld.
So the ten-year period has seen
nothing done with the problem of
scheduled trans-Atlantic air "service..
The, parted is perhaps' most note-
worthy for the establishment of avia-
tion in the economic life, of peoples.
Its greatest features are the creation
of air mail in the United States, air
travel in Europe and a general con-
sciousness throughout the world of.
the potential power of human flight.
Feat Virtually Forgotten
These accomplishments are of suf-
ficient magnitude to warrant :pride in
ally decade, and it also would eeem to
warrant consideration of the generally
forgotten feat of the two men who op-
ened the .period with thefirst direct
non-stop, flight from North America to,
Europe.
"They did it first!" is a distinction
which never can be taken from Cap-
tain John Alcock and Lieutenant Ar-
thur W. Brown, who- were knighted
for their great exploit. On June 14,
1919, in sixteen hours of flying, these
two airmen flew from St. John's, N.F.,
to Clifden, Ireland. Theflight was
ad
e without stopand
terminated ed at
the exact point previously designated
as the goal. They flew in a Vickers-
Vimy biplane, powered with two 876
horsepower 'Rohs -Royce motors. The
motors .which carried them over the
ocean were world famed for their re-
liability and the plane was then a
Standard British bomber, the air
worthiness of which can never be
questioned. But the flight was made
without any of the modern navigation-
al instruments such as helped Byrd,
Lindbergh, Brock and Sehlee and the
host that flew afterward. These two
pioneers won mainly by their great
flying experience. '
Had "Terrible Journey"
Alcock has described his historic
flight as follows:
"We had a terrible journey. T.he
wonder is that we are here at all. e
scarcely saw the sun or moon or stars,
.It'or hours. we saw` none of them. The
fog was very dense and at times we
had to descend within 800 feet of the
sea. For hours the 'machine was cov-
ered in a sheet of ice caused by froz-
en sleet. At another time the sleet
was so dense that my speed indicator
did not wont and for a few seconds 1t
was very alarming.
"We looped the loop I do believe
and did a very steep spiral. We diel
80x10 comic stunts ter I had no sense
of tie hoi$:zo'n. 5iiijn't knoVii oa*
during thet night whether I was up-
side down or not. The fog was awful.
Later I had a very narrow escape. I
bland' myself within ten feet of the
sea,
"The, winds were favorable ail the
wary—northwest and at some time
southwest, An hour and a half before
We saw land we had no certain idea.
Where we were, but we behoved we

Thrbot Island was great. People did
not know who we were when we t
landed.

Here Is a book tha 'has failed ut-
terly its object. It will no doubt
be ranked with the finest books about
war written in the past century and
a half, upwards of a million and a
half copies will be sold and it will
leave a definite and lasting impression
on whoever gives it an intelligent
reading. Nevertheless, it has not, nor
will not, accomplish what the author
thought he wanted it to.
Obviously, "All Quiet On the Wes-
tern Front' is a document of propa-
ganda, written to condemn war and
organized slaughter, Ramarque net
out to portray the recent hostilities in
a waythat would horrify the world
and . sot nationsaghast at the mere
mention of another conflict.
What he has really done is what
every man who knew anything about
his subject and aver wrote a really
good book about armed conflict has
done. He has cast an additional glam-
or, a new aura of romance, about
something that everyone :instate is an
extremely dirty business.
No man has ever written the whole
truth about war and it is doubtful if
any man ever will. Or else war Is a
line and glorioue thing.
What. Ramarque has done, what ev-
ery man who has attempted truthfuly
to chronicle`feate of arms has done,
is to sublimate the emotional side of
conflict. Even emotions which are
socially. regarded - as base here take
on a quality .of fineness. "All Quiet
on the Western Front" Is simply a
story of high courage under trying
circumstances:
And tales of high courage, when
competentlywritten, inevitably en-
gender a heroic glow in the breast of.
the reader. Every man can see him-
self as a capable and eompetant hero
if encouraged. And few men shrink
from , desperatesituations until
face brought g c to face with them.
"The Red Badge of Courage"- has
heretofore been regarded as the finest
story of war ever written. Largely
speaking, .'Ali Quiet on the Western
Front" is just as good. It has more
technical imperfections, of coarse,
Stephen Crane was a much more
skillful writer than Ramarque. Never-
theless, the latter has his points of
superiority. Stephen Crane was at
the disadvantage of never having
been to war. Ramarque spent a con-
siderable portion of his life in battle.
This book routes once and for all
the fable that German troops were a
set of slaves on one hand and mon-
sters on the other. It shows that
they were pretty much the same kind
of people as their opposition, with mo-
ments of kindness and fear, bestiality
and. courage.

The i ebble
There's nothing unimportant
In this wondrous world of ours,
From its mountains and Re rivers
Te its butterflies and flowers;
So you need not be downhearted,
And the gods of chance impeach,'
If you're very undistinguished
Just a pebble on the beach.
You may long to bea mountain,
Or a cliff or towering eras,'
Or a bright and radiant jewel,
Quite the biggest in the bag;
But the least and oft the lowliest
Great lessons have to teach,
And the stormy. Waves are baffied.
By the pebbles: on the beach,,
Perhaps Life never meant you.
For a place of rank and. power,
For mighty, moving century,
But only for an. hour;
But it gave you form and beauty,
And a place a child can rearfliti
When it made you just a pebble,
One of many on the beach. '

Argentina Renews
100 -Year Claim to
Falkland Islands
Centenary. of "Rule" in 'Brit-
ish Group is Celebrated
in Buenos Aires
Buehos Aires -The first centenary
celebration of "Argentine rule" over
the Falkland Islands was recorded
here June 11 with various patriotic
acts, beginning with ceremonies at-
tended by descendants of Louis Ver-
net, the first Argentine Governor.
Newspapers published documents
on which the Argentine claims to the
larahipelago are based, viewing the
Falklands as a natural prolongation
southward of the Republic's territory.
The islands are now part of the
British Empire, which they serve as a
naval base, but annually the ,Argen•
,tine lays its protest before the British
Government for what it considers an
illegal; occupation:
In 1764 the •French explorer de
Bougainville took .possession of the
islands for France, but that country
ceded them to. Spain in 1767, two
years after an Englishman had taken
possession for England on the ground
of prior . discovery. Spain in 1771
yielded them to England on a con-
vention.
In 1820 the. Buenos Aires Govern-
, ment contending England, had not set-
; UV them and that they were a na-
tural part of the Argentine republic,
laid claim to the group, but on the
representations of Great Britain with-
drew in 1833.
The islands are 300 miles east of
the Straits of Magellan and have a
population of about 2000.
Flora and
Fauna Colors
Fruit, Rowers and animals are well
represented in the color chart for the
present season. The most fashionable
of a fruit colorings are an iia- el-

low, citron, lime and lemon, with or-
ange and tangerine also clasped
amongthe yellows. Prune and raisin
are brownish tones, but grape -blue is
a rich purplish blue with no touch of
brown. Strawberry and raspberry
come in many shades and the popular-
ity of green bas introduced the goose-
berry.
Primrose -yellow, buttercup and
mimosa are the favorites in yellow
flower colorings, with larkspur as one
of the new blue shades and tea rose
presented as a rosy biege. Purple as-
ter is a newcomer on the color chart
and differs somewhat from the usual
shadings of lilac, violet and heliotrope.
