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! We offer no defence, for we are here to serve the public, and to this end have engaged the services of--

The machine left again, early yesterday morning and a Reuter message reports their arrival at Shanghai at 11.30 a.m.

Immediately upon arrival, Mr. Loew and his fellow-traveller, Mr. whinked Joseph Rósthal, were away to the Peninsula Hotel for A much-needed rest, while the pilot, Capt. James B. Dickson, made re-fuelling arrangements for the light to Shanghai.

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 burried farewells were taken while the engine was warming up; then, taxing across the nerodrome, the Spirit of Fun" rose into the air, and within a few minutes had disappeared over Lyemoon Pass, OR route to Shanghai, where the air- men expected to arrive at 10 am. yesterday.

The flight to Shanghai is a race against time, for, unable to ob- tain permisslun from the Japanese authorities to fly to Tokyo, Mr. Loow Is endeavouring to reach Shanghal 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 the six continents of the world, a flight he hopes to com- plete within the current year.

From Shanghai, Mr. Loew and his two companiona will retrace their route to 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. Mollison for # flight between South Africa and England.

Accompanying Mr. Locw on the world flight is Mr. Joseph Rosthal. his friend and legal adviser.

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

Record-Breaking 'Piane.

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 pinnes in the air, and is capable of a cruising speed of 180 and a top speed of 220 m.p.h. The 'plane can carry six persons, in- cluding the pilot, and, in add- tion, has a full length bed for the comfort of the passengers.

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

The "Spirit of Fun" has already mande 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 Amerlen. It also holds the record from Chicago to New York and the westbound record from Kansas City to Albuquerque. Capt. Dickson, who has pllated the speedy plano since it was par chased two years ago, is proud of the fact that he has landed on schedulo in 400 cities in every atate of the United States.
