New York, Sept. 30.

CLARENCE CHAMBER-

LIN, the famous United States airman, is planning a | stratosphere flight from St. John's, Newfoundland, to Land's End or London.

No date is fixed and at present Chamberlin and his bride are touring the South collecting funds for the fight.

When, and if, it takes place, the adventure will be a "stratosphere honeymoon." Mrs. Louise Chamber- lin is familiar with the air, having been hostess in a transport liner be- fore marriage.

Chamberlin's two-scaler Lock- heed monoplane is already named Allss Stratosphere." He is confl-, dent at the transocean flight can be made above the clouds at a height of 35,000ft.

if," he says, "we make the 1,850- miles hop from St. John's to Land's End we should coinplete the journey in six hours. To London would take from-ten-to fifteen.".

Chamberlin is following in the steps of Wiley Post, the experimental flier in the stratosphere. He hopes to pave the way -for shorter flights across the formidable Atlantic.

His young wife says, "I won't have time to get scared-and, anyway, I am never afraid when flying with Clarence."

Childhood Fantasies

SOME COMMON ASPECTS

Some of the more common fan- lasies of normal children, such as dreams and the games of "Let's pretend," were explained by Dr. ituth Griffiths, of Bath, in a paper on the "Significance of Fantasy in the Normal Development of Childhood," at a British Association meeting re- cently,

Fantasy activity represented transition stage between Infancy and the later more Intellectual develop- ment. Fear and aggression appeared to be complementary attitudes, duc

Such ideas in less furtive and in less assertive moods might be turned against the child himself, leading to ideas of death and injury. Terror dreams, or fearful fantasies from which a child turned in terror, might also result.

These alternating attitudes of cruel and intense resistance to the general environment and the subsequent complementary sense of fallure, ct impotence and general self-feeling. seemed natural at this period of childhood, although often compilcaled by circumstances.

The study of children's fantasies showed that childish thinking was were many characteristics of adult not dissimilar to that of adults. There thought evident.

Dr. Grinths regarded fantasy not so much as an avoidance of reality as a means whereby the child mag- tered in piecemeal fashion the prob- lems presented by his environment.
