supreme test-that of spanning the vast watery waste which divides the new world from the old. Some regard the Do-X as an impractical exaggeration; others venture the prediction that she is the vanguard of a new era in trans-oceanic travel. Most are agreed that she is, indeed, an. airplane. There are, however, a few who think that when the mechanical monster descends from the clouds and comes to rest like a great gull on the waters of a har bour she ceases to be an airplane and becomes a ship. The com {mander of the Do-X discovered this fact quickly enough when he took his dying liner on trial apins and landed at strange ports on the European Continent. Since then he has made certain to carry sea- going as well as, aeronautic entry papers on all trips away from the home hangar.
