Washington. — Recretnry of War
Wwk* bus formally approved the
project for a flight of four or flve
army airplanes around the world next
spring and summer.
This flight, the moat ambitious un-
dertaking of the army nlr service, la
Intended to demonstrate the feasibil-
ity with which aerial communication
may be established between the vari-
ous continents and to obtain dutn
concerning the operation of present
type airplanes under vurylng climatic
conditions.
As now planned, the personnel for
the flight will consist of four commis-
sioned officers and four enlisted men,
well qualified for a long nnd arduous
flight. The selection of personnel Is
now under consideration by MnJ. Gen.
Mason M. 1‘atrlck, chief of the air
■ervlce, nnd his associates.
Await Foreign Approval.
TTntll authority has been received
from nil foreign governments whose
territory will be visited the exact
route of the flight will not be deter-
mined The route tentatively mapped
out follows:
Leave Washington about the mid-
dle of March nnd proceed to Senttle.
I>epnrt from Seattle about April 1, fly-
ing northward along the coust of Can-
ada nnd southern Alaska.
They will fly ncrosn the Aleutian
Islands, down through the possessions
of Japan, along the shores of Chinn,
French Indo-Chlnu, Slam nnd Burma,
across India, up the Persian gulf,
across Turkey nnd Europe to Knglnnd.
thence north through the Faroe islands
to Iceland, thence tc Greenland nnd
southward along the eastern shore of
the continent to Cnpe Farewell. Green-
land. from which point a direct flight
will be made to Hamilton Inlet on the
Lnhorudor const, thence southward
along the Canadian shore nnd up the
Kt. Lawrence river to Quebec and
Montreal, from which point the flight
will proceed to Washington, thus com-
pleting the circumference of the globe
via the air.
This itinerary has been worked out
tentatively in the expectation that it
will enable the flyers to dodge the
rainy seasons In the United States
nnd Indln and insure flight over Ice-
land and Greenland during August
and September.
Existing airway facilities will be
followed In the United States, south-
ern Japan and between Indln and
London. The intervening sections of
the long route will be given further
study by experienced pilots, who will
proceed over the route prior to the
arrival of the flight.
A pnth-flmling expedition of two of-
ficers has been in the field for some
time. Lieut. Clarence E. Crumrlne Is
now In Greenland, Investigating facil-
ities for nvlntlon there. Lieut. Clif-
ford C. Nutt, now In the Philippines,
will visit Japan to make preliminary
arrangements as soon ns the wishes
of the Tokyo government hove been
made known to the State department.
Meanwhile, n detailed study of tho
route Is being made in the office of
(ieneral Patrick, the United States
const gunrd is obtaining data on fa-
cilities between Seattle nnd Attu is-
land in the Aleutian group, which is
the point of departure of tho flight
from United States territory.
Specinl attention Is being given to
wenther conditions along the proposed
route, with a view to making avail-
able every possible facility to the
onny flyers.
The plunes chosen for the flight are
Dougins world-cruisers, designed and
built by the Dougins Airplane com-
pany, Santn Monlen, Cnl. They will
he powered with Liberty motors. At
Senttle the plunes will be equipped
with pontoons for water landings.
Present plans contemplate removing
the pontoons at Tokyo nnd using land-
ing gear from thnt point on.

Boston.—Two hundred nnd eighty-
four years ago the first post office in
the United States was established in
Boston, and the celebration of the
anniversary this month reculled the
manner of its founding.
It hud been the custom In those
days for the citizens of Boston to
troop on hourd the puckets which ar-
rived from overseas In quest of let-
ters und other tidings from England.
That wus ull very well for u while,
but ns the population grew the habit

who objected to having their decks

the none too spacious quarters below
crowded with men and women.

John Winthrop was governor when
Fulrbanks was appointed. The latter
had a permit to sell "wine nnd strong
water," and over his bar the men of
Boston sipped their nle und rend their
mail and tulked of the tidings from
far away.

Newkirk, Oklu.—A Filipino boy of
thirteen Is believed to be heir to mil-
lions of dollars of oil royultles from
1 lo< ul wells. Dugnl Carmichael, who
died after uriny service in the Philip-
•fiines, did not get to enjoy sudden
riches from the oil strike on Ills lund

may get the weulth.
Gregorio Velasquez Cannlchuel Is

attorneys to fight for his share lo his

gorio’s share Is in excess of $7,000,000.
Jtoyslties covering a two-weeks period
recently aggregated $58,000.
All the years of Gregorio's life have
been spent In so Inland tow’n, remote
from civilisation, on one of the lesser
' "f the Philippine group of Islands.
There, In the small city of Amynt.
Province of Pampunga. he has played
In the half wild, tropical foothills, on
the streets of the little Inland town.
Almost two .tears have been spent
in searching and attempts to get In
communication with tho small son of
Dugul Carmichael. Part of this time
tills seurch wus curried on by Federico
M. Unson, s young native lawyer of
the island, who had been u classmate
of a local attorney in a Northern uni
verslty.
Scant trace had been left of Cnr
mlchael In the ranks of the United
I States army. The hunt was made
i *he more difficult since the soldiers

Whether Gregorio Is the son of Du*
gal Curmlchnel will be determined
, either by concession of the interested
oil companies or by a court battle.

CHRISTMAS WREATH
"In the window of a store was a
huge green wreath, said Daddy." "It
was so enormous that il took up the
whole window. In tlie wreath were
countless little red electric lights
which were supposed to make the
wreath look like a holly wreath with
many berries.
"The Elves were taking a trip on
tlie back of Fly-High, their special
bird, and when they saw the many red
lights in the wreath they wanted to
stop.
"The store was closed for it was

special keys for the Christinas stores

thing. such as shopping excitement,

“They will never hurt anything-—in
fact they will often help put things to
rights—so they have these keys.

said Effle Elf.
" ‘Oh, you nre lovely,’ said the other
Elves. ‘Your many lights are so beau-
tiful. And you do look like a huge,

“‘You look so like the Christinas
season, too.’
| " ‘Well,’ said the big wreath, ‘that
is what I am supposed to look like,
and I am glad I look as I should.
| “ ‘It would he horrible if I looked
like something else.’
" ‘Yes,’ said Effle Elf, ’or if you mixed
up with a Thanksgiving decoration.
" ‘I don’t suppose you could do that

many showers, oh, so many showers.

" ‘Of course April said it couldn't help

" ‘At any rate Marcli suid that as Its
excuse.’
“‘You know,’ said the big wreath,
"I think it helps a great deal to be ap-
preciated.’
" ‘Of course it does.’ said Effle Elf.
"And all the Elves said:
" ‘Of course it does.’
" ‘No one does good work without a
little praise once in awhile,’ said
Effie.
" ‘Lt Is so encouraging to he praised.
It will not trniKe nnyone conceited. It
will only make one want to do better.
" ‘And when one lias worked hard and
tried to do one’s very best it is nice to
get a word of encouraging pruise.
"‘I think we do better for n little
praise than we do for a great deni of

" ‘We think so. too,’ sniff the Elves.
" 'And,' said Effle, ‘I’ve alwnys been
an admirer of Judge Just Praise. He
is a judge after my own heart, after
my very own Eif heart.’
'* ‘But talk to us, Wreath, if I ever
give you a chance!’ And Effle Elf
laughed a low and lovely laugh.
" ‘I have been praised and so I am
sure I will look dignified and well nnd
gay and Christmasy throughout the
Christmas season,' said the wreath.
" ‘Now today some one culled the day-
a "pretty day.” Do you know that the
day was so pleased that it kept on
looking Its best and it kept fixing itself
all up to look better, too.
“ ‘Fleecy, lovely clouds and blue sky

" ‘Even the day liked to he praised.
“ 'And so I've been admired and ap-

on looking my best for the happy,
merry Christmas season.'
‘“Good,' said Effle Elf. ’Thnt Is the
right spirit.’
” ‘Good,’ said the other Elves. ‘That
is most certainly the right spirit.’
"‘Good,’ said Fly-High, their bird,
T love to hear thnt, too, and I also
think It is the right spirit.’
‘“It's the Christmas spirit, nnd It
