CIVING HALEâ€"HEARTED SERVICE, 3: HIL ning of all these nations to the serâ€" vices of Jehovah, but the prevailing desire and expectation of Israel, in the fifth and fourth centuries B.C., was for their destruction. Istrael, called to be Goi‘s prophet, to preach repentance and forgiveness, thought oaly of vengeance upon his foes, and gave himself to the pursuit of wealth and power. Jonah is truly represenâ€" tative of this narrow, intolerant, selfâ€" centred Israel, which had not yet learned the universality, the graciousâ€" ness, and the compassiona _ kindness of the love of God. Scattered throughâ€" out the world the people of Israel woere using their unique gifts and opporâ€" tunities for selfâ€"enrichment. _ They were becoming the trhders and bankâ€" ers of the world of their time, and only rarely and reluctantly missionâ€" aries of the kingdom of God. II. cGIVING HALFâ€"HEARTED SERviCE, 3: When the second call come, Jonah went to Nineveh. But he went to preach destruction, not salvation. His message was, "Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overthrown." It seems very clear that he had no exâ€" pectation or Cesire that the doomed city should repent and be saved. His spirit is quite different from that of Abraham, who pleaded wit‘h God for Sodom and Gomorrah, and from that of Paul, preacher to many cit‘es, who A NARROW sELPISHNESS REBUKHED 4: 5â€"11.

They had been close friends in carly days and partners in a large Tobago plantâ€" ation for the same period of time. There were.tears in the eyes of both men when they clasped hands on the little landing at Scarborough. Partners in Plantation f Trirtyâ€"three years ago they bought a plantation together. Sir Esme was called back to England to enter the diplomatic service and to win a disâ€" linquished career, while Thurleigh Orde was to remain almost a recluse on the tiny West Windward island, to look after the plantation and live a secluded life. And now, aftor all the years, Sir Esme Howard returns to see his partâ€" ner and view the plantation that has brought him a substantial income for a third of a century. Tobago is only twentyâ€"six miles in length and seven miles in breadth ‘at its broadest point. ~But there is much to see in Tobago, and Sir Esme had a busy week driving about the conical hills and. charming little valleys. Orde has built a spacious house where the ambassador and his son were guests during their stay on the island, Natives Return to Sugar Tobago has a fertile soil, and proâ€" duces on its 73,000 acres every kind of frult and vegetable peculiar to the tropics. _ When sugar ceased to be profitable the natives went into the cultivation of cacao and rubber and into cattle‘raising.

He was angry because God was iracious‘ and merciful to the enemy of his peoâ€" ple, in whose overthrow he would have rejoiced. The story of the gourd, like‘? that of the great fish, seems best understood as a parable. The fish represents the nations, especia!ly‘ Babylon, which had swallowed up Israel in exile and captivity, see Jer. 50: 17; 5: 34. The §ourd was Israel‘s sudden but shortâ€"lived prosâ€" perity after his restoration. Jonah is grieved for the loss of that which gave himself a little comfort, but was heartlessly indifferent to the threatenâ€" ed destruction of a great multitude of people. > Scarborough, Tobago.â€"When Sir Esme Howard, British Ambassador to the United States, stepped, from the small mail steamer from Portâ€"ofâ€" Spain, ‘Trinidad, he was greeted by nearly every one of the several thouâ€" sand inhabitants. It was a long jourâ€" ney for Sir Esme and his son, Lewis, who left New York for Bermuda, whero he remained a week, and thence on the Canadian National stcamship Lady Hawkins to Trividad, another ten days of ocean sailing.

But in what ig likely to prove a new era in airship construction Râ€"101 bas undonbtediy made \good beginning. "The work of building up an airâ€" ship service, which, if it can be esâ€" tablished, must prove of incalculable vaiue to the Empire, is bound to be a costly affair. â€" And the designers and constructors of RALQL bave worked woll and wisely in determining, even "Another great and novel advanâ€" tage is that the climination of petrol will enable her, unlike airships deâ€" pendent on this form of fuel, to face the temperature »f the tropics and the effect of its extremes on the lift of the ship. So far as risks of misâ€" haps from outside are concerned she is designed to withstand a sudden verucal gust of 45 miles an hour,,or three times the wind welocity provid« ed against in the case of the Grat Zeppelin. at some possible sacrifice for the time being of speed and carrying power, to But.before all other considerations tha indispensable _ and much abused attribute of Safety First." "The Air Ministry,‘ points out the Daily Telegraph, "has not been conâ€" cerned to prove that the Râ€"101 could work on a given route with the reâ€" gularity of a great steamship. The engineeri@g and the commercial asâ€" pects of tho question must be clearâ€" lyâ€" distinguished. "The first and greatest virtue of the Râ€"101," says the Times, "is that, owing to the employment of furnace oil instead of patrol as the source of her motive power (at oneâ€"fifth of the cost), she will be decidedly safer than all previous «‘rships~© The risk of fire is reduced to a minimum, and smoking, which had to be banned in "First of all, it bas to be shown that theso great airships are pracâ€" ticable machines, capable of withâ€" standing reagonable risks of weather and of being lauhched and brought back to their sheds without undue difâ€" ficulty. _ When that has been done it will be timg for business men to consider more fully the questions of cost and potential revenue. "Meanwhile wo may take pride in the thought that British brains and British energy are solving the imâ€" mensely complex( new problems . of airship building, so that we may hold our own in this as in other spheres of human activity." What We Must Ask of an Airship "We ask more of a train," observes the Manchester Guardian, "or a ship than safety, and so we shall, after a generous trial, of an airship. Even to trains and ships we allow a certain measure of frailty, but on the whole we demand that they shall not only start and arrive in safety but that they sball do it at stated times. the case of the~Graf Zeppelin, will be allowed in a special‘compartment. "We are opening not only a new chapter btu the first chapter of a new book; an exciting chapter, since it may be the first of many but may also, perhaps, be the last." â€"â€"Manchester Guardian. There have been many airships and the Graf Zeppelin is holder of a fine record. _ But experts in the world of the air realize that Râ€"101, our new airship, is a deciding factor in the future of that class of aircraft, and that is why its flying exploits are be:â€" ing carefully studied. "Regularity is the word. If LM.S. engines would not comée out of thetr sheds, except in certain weather we should rightly demand the head of Sir Josiah Stamp. _A word of equal intportance is cheapness.

At present the alrshlp has neither of these qualifications. "The Graf Zeppelin can fly round the world, but the passengers waltâ€" ing to go on the German fight which they had booked have just had to reâ€" tusn home because the weather preâ€" vented the Graf from making & start. "Mooring masts can be multiplied â€"scarcely auy of them exist at preâ€" sentâ€"but it will continually be necesâ€" sary to house an airship in a shed, and that means that there will be continual‘ difficulty with the weather. As to costs, it is too soon to say whether there will ever be such a thing as a ‘commercial‘ airship,. Up to the present the airship has had a curiosity value, and the passengers have been those who had not to count the cost. Twelve months‘ exâ€" perience will supply a fund of inâ€" formation which is at present lack ing." "The trial," he said, "has «demonâ€" strated for the first time two things â€"the possibility ofusing a highâ€"speed heavy oil engine, and, secondly, the use of heavy oil as fuel in aerial navigation. . By this means absolute safety against the everâ€"present peril of fire in lighterâ€"thanâ€"air @raft is enâ€" sred and there is a greater economy, represented by a figure of no less than 30 per cent. in fue!l when comâ€" pared with petrol engines. _ Further, we are saving in fuel weight another 25 per cent. 5 The Designer‘s View Mr. A.

"What remains to be done is to reâ€" duce engine weight. That can be cut down by half. * The ship, when the new propeliers are fitted, will be in a position to be run fully out and to attain her maximum speed. â€"Even at present there is no doubt »that the airship could make a nonâ€"stop run to Egypt." A "It is true that the Graf Zeppelin has flown round the world, and that should answer the ‘It can‘t be done‘ critics. â€" But there remains the fact that her crew, mindful of the Hmitaâ€" tions of their craft, have dispEyed decided antipathy to her projected Polar flight. © That is not to say that she, or ber British compeers, could not surmount the difficulties ahead. "We do not choose a small liner for crossing the Atlantic because we are frightened of the size of a large one. â€" The real objection to size in an airship is, at present, that the larger the airship, the more difficult the question of landing and housing her at the completion of her voyage. "Hitherto airships have been handâ€" led by manâ€"power, but although the size and power of the\alrsh'p have increased, the size of the man reâ€" mains the same. _ Obviously, thereâ€" fore, it airships ‘exceed a certain sizo they become too unwicldy to be manâ€" handled. "The present problem is whether or not airships, from a civilian standâ€" point, are a ‘commercial proposition.* The affirmative has still to be provâ€" ed, after making due allowance for the antiâ€"airship sghoo! of thought," says the Daily Herald. An Expert‘s Opinion "Size in itself is no detriment to a vehicle of transport for a sea pasâ€" sage,"" writes Commander Sir Charles Denniston Burney, a leading authorâ€" ity, in the Observer. â€" "But it does suggest thatâ€"and here, one many be sure, the staunchest supporters of airships would agree â€"the problem is not yet solved."

It objected for business reasons. The operation is difficult to perform and likely to lead to unpleasant complications in the law courts, the committee reported. An eminent trichologist has declared that to tint eyelashes properly and safely, "requires almost the profesâ€" sional skill of a Marley Street speâ€" cialist."

"The .other great defect of all alr-; ships yet built is that they do not obey one of the fundamental laws of transport. _ Alone among vessels in use toâ€"day, they cannot make a landâ€" ing. on their own and without exâ€" trancous ‘aid.

The youtbful fiyerâ€"he is twentyâ€" three years oldâ€"arrived in New York recontly. _ He kept no record of his expenses for the long flight, He exâ€" plained, regretfully, that he did not realize how long a flight it was going to be when he started. 380 Hours in Air He does know, howéver, that he adâ€" ded some 380 hours in his fAying time, in addition to the scant seventeen he had accumplated when he left Berlin _ lie knows also that his Klemmâ€"Daimler plane, the German original of the American Acramarine Kiemm, uses about one and 2 hbalf gallous pf gasoline an hour, _ At this rate he would have used about 55¢ gailons of fuel, which would have cost him, at the rate charged for Aviation gasoline here, about $165, Add a fraction of that amount for oil and a fairly heavy repair bill for the replacing of a wing after a m accident at El Paso, Tex., and ?: have the fying expenses of his trip. The plane, which cost about $2,008 when new, is to be purchased for its original price by a museum in Munich, but this, of course, is a stroke of good luck that future acrial globe trotters can scarcely hope for. 200Miles From Filling Station Refueling was not always a matter of stopping at an airport and taxiing up to a tank for Baron Warthaunen during his world flight. Upon one ccasion he had to land in the TFerâ€" sian desert about 200 miles from: the nearest city, Bushire, The tribe encamped at the oasis welcomed hbim warm!y, but could give him no fuel. _ The chicf sent a man on a camel 200 miles to the nearest service station to get five gallons of gasoline, and in the mean time Baron Warthausen remained at the oasis as the guest of the tribe, _ When the messanger retrned Baron Warthawâ€" sen said that he would have to be on his way. First he offered to,pay for his board and lodging, which was refusâ€" ed. The chief was not averse to acâ€" cepting a gift, bowever, so Baron Warthausen gave him a cigar lighter and drew enough gasoline from the fuel ‘tank to supply the lighter for some time. _ Tribesmen begged that he make a general distribution, as they prized gasoline for its supposed medicinal attributes. Castor Oil for Lighter _ The baron drained the castor oil from the crankcase and gave it to the ‘ natives. _ He will avoid that oasis in future flights, he said. Baron Warthusen‘s long flight was made not to add to the world‘s store of scientifig knowledge, nor to achieve prominence as a . spectacular fyer, but simply because he was enjoy ing himself. _ Leaving Berlin in August, 1928, be set out to make a nonâ€"slop flight to Moscow, hopirg to win thg Yon Hindenburg prize for the oulâ€" standing flight during the year by m German flyer in a light sport plane. After succeeding in this attempt he met Germany‘s Minister to Persia, who happened to be in Moscow, and the minister invited him to fliy to Persia. _ Baron Warthausen did so, thinking that it would be a good lark and at"the same time would sirengâ€" then his claim to the medal. Won Medal After secing Persia he determined to add one more leg to his flight, just to be sure of the medal, He proceedâ€" ed to Karachi, India. From Karachl he fiew to Calcutta, where the Gorâ€" man Minister met him with a tole gram informing him that hbe had wom the prize and: advising him to tura the prize and: advisin back to Germany. Instead he went on Instead he went on to Siam, then to China, Japan, and then to the Unfâ€" ted States. He attempted no dif» ficult occan crossings, but put hie plane aboard m steamship to travel beâ€" tween seaports. This does not mean that he shranke from making dificult fRights, Paseâ€" ing through India, he flew over jume ples, where he saw herds of â€" wha elephants, and he slopped in Burma to hunt wild famingoos. . In the Caue casus he was attacked by glant bus zards, but they misjudged the spook of the plane and did no damage. Paron Warthausen admitted that he was afraid that they might fiy into his propeller and shatter it. ‘\â€" When he returns to Germany he ox» pecisâ€"to devote himself to aviation, not as a professiohal pilot or even @8 If the world . is a stage, the mm jority of us are merely sceneshifters, an aviation executive, but as a pro moter, .
