The practical question, of course, is whether this seaplane glider has a commercial future. The engineers who are associated with it state that a two-seater machine can be manuX- factured for sale for about £80, and that it will be easier to drive tin n motor car. The driving power is like an aeroplane, pro pellor, and turns in the air-it does not touch the water. Seeing that the Atlantic has been down br aeroplane it is perhaps natural that there is some speculation whether or not a seaplane glider could per form the journey. It would not be surprising if somebody were to uake the attempt. Anyway this machine has a fascination of its
own, and is sure to attract a great deal of attention before long,
The Licensing Laws. The demand for the removal of A time restrictions on the sale of liquer continues to be pressed. Dur. ing the war the hours when the sale of alcohol was permitted by law were reduced because it was argued.] that temptation to indulge should be removed from munition workers and others while the country was engaged in a death struggle. Mr Lloyd Geeorge definitely promised that the restrictions were only to be temporary; it was not his inten- tion to interfere with the ancient Eberties of the people. But the war ended nine years ago, and that promise has not been kept.
