SIR ALFRED MOND'S SUGGESTIONS.
EXAMPLES FROM HIS OWN FIRM.
Sir Alfred Mond, writing in the Spectator' makes suggestions which he has already carried into effect in his own business, and which are recommended for the attention of all employers of labour.
I have often spoken of the three joint-partners in industry," writes Sir Alfred Hond, "namely, shareholders, management, and labour. The great need is the re- cognition of ench of these three factors 45 equal and essential parts of the industrial organism The slogan must be Partnership in work, pay, play, and profits, and the more closely that slogan can be translated into actual prae tiee the more effectively will the whole organism function.
The great need is for definite concrete proposals and hard team work in putting the principle of

NEW AIRPLANE MARVEL.
LANDING AT 15 MILES AN HOUR.
NO STALLING,
I have just flown what is per haps the most remarkable airplane in the country, writes the Daily Express, air correspondant.
"Stalling," that is loss of con- trol when air-speed falls below 4 certain paint, has been the most frequent cause of deaths in the history of aviation. Stalling in the machine from which I have just landed is well-nigh impossible. The machine is fool-proof.
The safety-first device by which lateral control is obtained is the invention of Captain K, N. Pear- son, a former pilot in the Royal Flying Corps. He has been secret-
working for more than a year his invention, which has now reached a stage where it can be fitted to any make of machine.
Ailerons (lexible back edges of the upper wing), by which an air- plane is usually controlled, are. rendered unnecessary. The machine answers to two small rotary acre. foils (another type of aileron) placed at the extreme tips of the wings. They turn on apindles sc that different faces are presented to the air flow.
