A young Canadian flier stationed on
he Pacific Coast flew magically be-
fore crashing to his death a'few days
ago. He flew exquisitely, in a flier's
estimate; but he flew boldly, daring -
y, wildler and madly. He flew for
four -and -a -half hours as few. other
men in Canada, could fly; but although
his flying astonished many who
watched him from the ground, and.
even tried to chase him from the eky,
,ese-magie of, his flying has been
matched by youth soaring in spirit as
their aircraft breasted the higher alti-
tudes and swooped to ascend again
and again.

sends fliers into a frenzy of joy. It

them, and bids them flaunt life, as^
does the urge prompting youth at the
tiller to slap on the sheets that keel
