An added complication was fact that the bachelor had a woman friend who also found it difficult to distinguish between the two brothers.

A simple way out of the difficulty would have been for the brothers to separate. This they firmly refusei to do. All their life they had lived and worked together and they could Imagine existence Ja other not conditions.

We've been on the receiving end of a lot of subtle insinuations that the British were far behind la commercial aviation, but we call any in all cander that one of the great experiencer in flying scheduled air transport lines was the New York hound flight on the (IMPERIAL. flying-bost) CAVALIER (to Bermuda).

The first view inside (îhe Impenta flying-bont) is breathtaking... The eye lint catch the great length of the cabin. Instead of one long cabin, there are four... three of them on as many different level, connected by two or three steps. the whole night is most impressive to put it sally*

*Second impression is the great height of the interior. It removes completely the feeling of being crowded. Paychologically, it is a vision into the future... one doesn't just sit at a window. One maves about in a luxury of space. There are no narrow aisles and one goes to the smoking lounge not only to moke, but to have a drink? Then there is that indefinable something about Bhatish service which is ever present. The British steward... was well trained, polished, quietly efficient, and added something to the psycho- Ingical effect of the trip... Unquestionably, the British have carried orer into their air services the same type of passenger service they hare on

the sea..."
