wish to place on record the thanks of the Government for the valuable assistance you have ren- dered during the last eight years following your great service in the War.
"We all recognise that the| period of retrenchment and | economy' which necessarily fol- lowed the War has been one of exceptional difficulty for the Admiralty, and we greatly appre- ciate the continuous efforts you have made to achieve these ob- jects consistently with the essen- tial needs of naval defence.

Old Idea.
Our old idea of the air hero was that of a temperamental be ing who was all ice and fire, and who could never be relied upon to do the same thing twice. But to-day we are forming a new and quite different conception of the} record-breaking airman. He now has no apparent temperament at all, and certainly he cannot afford to indulge in whims or fancies. He is not a sort of eccentric acrobat. He is a trained, finely tempered athlete.
No better example of the air- man-athlete could be found than], our new Royal Air Force long- distance flier, Flight-Lieutenant C. R. Carr. It was he who, the other day, took into the air a great winged craft loaded with a heavier weight of fuel than any plane had ascended with before.
