FAMOUS AIRMAN
PLANS 9 RECORD BREAKING HOPS LIEUTENANT Owen Cathcart Jones
wanted £30,000 to finance building. the world's fastest commercial aero. plane. He told about it in an advertise- ment on August 1.
Now, as a direct result of the publication of the famous air- man's scheme,£15,000 has been promised by an Englishman who stares Lieutenant Cathcart Jones' enthusiasm of putting Britain right on top of the aviation world.
The offer is conditional on another Englishman providing the other half
of the amount.
It was Mr. J. A. Whitehead, late of the Whitehend Aircraft Com- pany, who saw the interview with and Lieutenant Cathcart Jones, forthwith naked the airman for further details, with the result that the offer was made within a month.
1,500 Miles Non-Stop "Now is the chance for some other patriotic Englishman to come Along with the other £15,000, sa. that we can begin bullding the 'plane.
"Time is a great factor. Our Aviation to-day is suffering by pro- crastination. If I had the money to-morrow, I would be ready by May 1936.
"I am aiming at a 1,500 miles non-stop 'plane with a crew of two and ten passengers with a croíusing speed of 250 miles per hour."
The scheme is to make 'nine special record long-distance flights, showing a profitable return."
"I want to emphasise the com. mercial aspect of this," Lieutenant Catheart Jones said. "The mR- chine is to be a commercial aero- plane and will be used on Empire nir routes afterwards.
"I am not asking for money for a stunt. of the £80,000 required, two-thirds is for the aeroplane and equipment, and one-third to finance the nine special flights.
Cathcart Jness is keping the routes of his nine flights secret for the present. But it is almost certain that he will" undertake the three flights planned by C. W. A. Scott-to Captown, Canada and Hong- kang.

SAY IT WITH A TELEGRAM
"SEND-A-WIRE" HABIT IN THE ANTIPODES Australia's post office which.. like the British G.P.O., intensively encourages the "send-a-wire" habit. has just gone one better by issuing a special social telegram form for Invitations to bridge, golf, tennis and other social events.
The form, says Austral News, is printed in four colours with an claborate old-world design of a dashing swain of the 'sixties bow- ing deeply to a coy damsel in crinolines.

During the vintage in Hungaria, the peasants arrange many bizarre dances. One of the most particular is the Bottle Dance, during which Hungarian girls wear a thre bottle on their head.
Two Brides-Instead Of One Record Flight

Said two young bridegrooms recently in reply to that old, old question, "Wilt thou have this- woman to thy wedded wife?"
"I will."
"No names, no pack drill" is the saying in the Army, but this little story concerns the Royal Air Force. Anyway, those two bride- grooms are quite happy and un- repentant about the record that they have not attempted to break.
Flying Officer R. S. Littlejohn, of Sydney, first of the two to break one vow and take another, is flying home shortly in a Klemm mono- plane with his bride. "We ex- pect to take about twelve days to Sydney," he said. [And the record flight to Australia is just under three days.]
Flying Officer Donald Bennel, of Brisbane, is equally happy at the "thought"of taking his bride-home-
