CHAPTER XXXV.
Good morning, Father. Good morning, Nan." Curtis, panting little as usual from his hurried efforts to bathe, dress himself and reach the breakfast table on time, slipped into his chair the next morning and was making a dive for the cream pitcher when some thing about his stepmother halted his greedy band in mid-air. "My gosh, Nan Whassa matter with you? You look all-all glory! Don't ahe, Father-don't she?"

| CHANNEL AIR ROUTES,
DISASTER CAUSES DISCUS. SION ON THE "LONG CROSSING."
London, June 19. Monday's air disaster has arous- ed discussion among pilots as to the use by Imperiai Airways aeroplanes of the long Channel crossing..
There are three established cross-Channel routes for Imperial Airways machines-one for single engines, another for twin engines, and a third for three engines. The single-engine route is the shortest, including only about 20 miles of eca, while the three-engine route may include about 55 miles of sea,
The pilot uses his discretion as to which route he shali take, so that In bad weather, when the machine la flying low, he is able to take the shortest way even in a three-engin- ed machine.
Some pilots believe that the twin- engined machines should be re- quired to take the shortest route, because it is known that if one engine stops, they are unable to ly level on the remaining engine' and must glide down and Innd. The distance they can glide, aided by the remaining engine, is dependent upon their height and the direc tion of the wind.
