The argument in favour of this innovation is logical, for why Indeed should such a perfect spring dance floor be provided, (incidentally, the only one of its kind in Hongkong) if it is not used!

The airmen were astir long be- fore daybreak yesterday morning, and just as the sun came over the horizon the giant monoplane was wheeled out of the hanger, a few hurried farewells were taken while the engine was warming up; then, taxing across the aerodrome. the "Spirit of Fun" rose into the air. and within a few minutes had disappeared over Lyemoon Pass, en roale to Shanghai, where the nir- inen expected to arrive at 10 a.m. yeterday.

The fight to Shanghai is a race against time, for, unable to ob- ftain permission from the Japanese authorities to fly to Tokyo, Mr. Loew is endeavouring to reach Shanghai in time to connect with the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Japan, which was due to leave the northern port at 11 a.m. yester- day. Mr. Loew will spend three days in Japan, visiting the various centres of his organisation, and will then return to Shanghai to continue his record-breaking flight across the aix continents of the world, a flight he hopes to com-j plete within the current year.

From Shanghai,, Mr. Loew and hin two companions will retrace

to their route Hongkong and!

Hanoi, and from the latter place will endeavour to fly non-stop to Calcutta, a distance of 1,400 miles. They will proceed to Johannes- burg, and if possible will then at tack the record made by Mr. J. flight between for a Mollison South Africa and England.

Accompanying Mr. Loew on the work flight Mr. Joseph Rosthal his friend and legal adviser,

Mr. Loew is co-pilot of the ma- chine, although Capt. Dickson. who has flown the "Spirit of Fun" for the past two years, is the chief nilot. Both Mr. Loew and Capt. Dickson-joined the U.S. Fly- Ing Corps after the Great War, and Cart. Dickson already has to his over 2,700 flying hours credit.

Record-Breaking 'Plane. The "Spirit of Fun," the plane In which they are making their unprecedented dash, is owned by the Hal Hal Roach Studios, and has been lent for the occasion. It is one of the fastest passenger 'planes in the air, and is capable of a cruising speed of 180 and a 220 m.p.h. The top speed of

plane can carry six persons, in- cluding the pilot, and, in addi- tion, has a full length bed for the comfort of the passengers.

The landing gear of the "Spirit of Fun" disappears into the wings during flight, adding considerably to the speed and stream-lining of the plane.

The "Spirit of Fun" has already made a 17,000 miles tour of South America, visiting all the import- ant capitals, and has broken the existing records over every single flight made in the southern con- tinent of America. It also holds the record from Chicago to New York and the wentbound record from Kansas City to Albuquerque. Capt. Dickson, who has piloted the speedy 'plane since it was pur- chased two years ago, is proud of the fact that he has landed on schedule in 400 cities in every state of the United States.
