BUMPS Flying, even-in good flying weather, is not as smooth a method of traveling as it looks from the ground. There was a light breeze, which had a habit of freshening and shifting suddenly, and the warm air currents rising from the earth varied in intensity with the character of the surface over which we passed. The result was a motion much like that of a small boat on a land-locked harbor in a choppy sea, with an first pictures made from a plane flow into Washington day we crossed the saw with my own eye time the view of which photograph of in 1897.

I flew from New York to Washington, 240 miles, in two hours. It cost me less than my railroad and Pullman fare on my last previous trip to Washington, and took only half the time, besides furnishing a new and extremely interesting set of impressions. What surprised me most, as a novice in the air, was the apparent flatness of everything on the ground. We didn’t of course, fly over mountains, but all the little gullies and ridges and rough places, and even good-sized hills, seemed to merge into a flat plain as smooth as a billiard table. Newly plowed fields looked like sheets of sandpaper. There was no sensation of motion except when looking down. Then we seemed to be moving almost at a snail’s pace, because the eye from that height takes in such wide sweep of territory. The only thing that gave an idea of our speed was the motion of our own shadow across the surface of the earth, and the way we overtook and passed passenger trains on the railroads below us. POPULATION We flew over the most thickly settled part of the densely populated East, over ten cities, including Philadelphia with almost two million people, Baltimore with nearly a million, and Newark with nearly half a million. But the strongest impression I got was of a very thinly populated territory. Outside of the cities themselves there seemed to be a thousand acres of open land for every building. There were always buildings in sight, but there were many stretches, especially in Delaware and Maryland, where these were only widely scattered farm houses. Every square inch of land along the whole route seemed to be under intensive cultivation. That was another surprising thing. Except for occasional patches of woods there was hardly an acre that had not been freshly plowed and seeded. The grain and forage crops of New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania do not cut a big figure in the national totals, but in proportion to available acreage they are very large. And these eastern farmers have not lost the art of plowing a straight furrow. Seen from the air their fields BUMPS Flying, even in good flying weather, is not as smooth a method of traveling as it looks from the ground. There was a light breeze, which had a habit of freshening and shifting suddenly, and the warm air currents rising from the earth varied in intensity with the character of the surface over which we passed. The result was a motion much like that of a small boat on a landlocked harbor in a choppy sea, with an occasional big wave slapping the bow. This made walking about from one end to the other of the sixteen-passenger cabin somewhat difficult. There was also a fairly constant roll from side to side, about what one experiences on a ship at sea in good weather, and some occasional pitching fore and aft, although this was less severe than on board ship. “Air passengers frequently get seasick,” the hostess on board told me as she served us hot coffee and cakes between Philadelphia and Baltimore. HOSTESS The hostess on our ship was Beulah Unruh, who is known among air men as “The Flying Waitress.” Bulah, blonde and blue-eyed, and with permanent smile that shows her pretty white teeth, is 24. She is a farmer’s daughter from the eastern shore of Maryland. She worked as a waitress in Baltimore and New York and saved her tips until she had 13,000 dimes. “Some of the other girls bought fur coats and automobiles with their savings,” she told me, “but I thought I would use mine to learn some kind of a job where I wouldn’t have to be on my feet all the time. What’s the use of living if your feet hurt so you can’t have any fun?” So she spent her $1,300 to take a complete course in flying. Beulah has a limited commercial pilot’s license now, but will have to do a hundred hours more of solo flying before she can get a transport pilot license. Meantime, she files every day from New York to Richmond and back, as hostess for the Eastern Air Transport, and still saves her tips and part of her wages. “The girls that get the big money in flying are the ones that have rich fathers or somebody to buy fast planes for them,” she said. “It is going to take me a long time to save up enough to buy a plane, but in the meantime I have got a job. I like, and it don’t hurt my feet. WASHINGTON Thirty-four years ago I happened to be in Washington when the first aerial photographs of the Capitol and the new Library of Congress were made. A man from New Jersey sent a Kodak upon a kite string and produced the Every square inch of land along the whole route seemed to be under intensive cultivation. That was another surprising thing.

As the plane flew into Washington the other day we crossed the same spot, and I saw with my own eyes for the first time the view of which I had seen a photograph of in 1897. I have known the city of Washington for fifty years and every time I go back I find something new has been done to beautify it. The Japanese cherry trees, planted around the Tidal Basin, which, in my boyhood, was a swamp where the marial mosquitoes bred, were in full bloom and made one of the most beautiful bits of artificial scenery I have ever seen. Washington streets and avenues are so congested with motor traffic, and it is so poorly regulated, that I felt that I was actually in greater danger during that ten minute drive in a taxicab than I had been in flying. I am not particularly courageous, but all my apprehensions, I then realized, had vanished as soon as the wheels of the plane left the ground at Newark. VERY LATEST by Mary Marshall Interest in crochet lace has been revived by French dressmakers as a dress trimming. It is even used to trim some of the new linen hats for resort wear. The sketch shows how a simple sort of crocheted lace may be used to trim a tunic for spring ar summer. You begin with a chain of eight. Then taking a stitch back in the fifth stitch in the chain, then take three more chain stitches, turn and put the thread over the needle twice, then take a stitch through the loop made in the initial chain, pull the thread through, take a stitch through that loop and one thread on the needle, put the thread over the needle and through the second loop on Two Factories in Santa Ana Offing Two factories are in the offing for Santa Ana.

You begin with a chain of eight. Then taking a stitch back in the fifth stitch in the chain, then take three more chain stitches, turn and put the thread over the needle twice, then take a stitch through the loop made in the initial chain, pull the thread through, take a stitch through that loop and one thread on the needle, put the thread over the needle and through the second loop on the needle and then put the thread over the needle and pull through the last loop on the needle. This is the regular double crochet stitch. This makes the first of the five spokes that go down to the loop on the original chain. Now take two plain chair stitches, make a second spoke into the loop, take two chain stitches, etc., until you have the five spokes as shown in the sketch. Take one chain stitch and a second through the third stitch on your original chain to close your semi-circle. Turn, and crochet around the semi-circle, taking picot stitches between each two spokes. Take three chain stitches and begin again on your second scallop or semicircle, attaching the first picot of each scallop to the last picot of the preceding scallop. When you have made as much lace as you wish in one piece, go along the base of the entire length of lace with a series of single stitches. Foresters planted trees on more than 2,000 acres of national forest lands last year. Two Factories in Santa Ana Offing Two factories are in the offing for Santa Ana. The Pittsburgh Glass Co. has declined to renew leases of bean farmers on its 80-acre factory site, which is taken to mean that the company expects to begin construction work on its new plant. The erection of this plant, which will give employment to perhaps 600 men, has been in contemplation for several years. The contract for the foundation was awarded Stone & Webster a year ago. B. F. Spencer, owner of a paint store on West Center street, is Anaheim representative of Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. He states that much of the material to be sent to retailers throughout the West will be made at the Orange county factory of the firm. Santa Ana realtors are conducting negotiations with the Universal Fruit Base Corporation, of New York, for a 20-acre site, upon which to erect a plant for bottling orange juice. The Great Basin wireworm lives in the destructive larval stage for from 2 to 10 years. It does all its feeding in three months each year and fasts nine.
