AVIATION
LIN DB E H GII CR I TIC I SKI). (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) LONDON, A lay 1. News from America that Lindbergh will engage in another Atlantic flight via Greenland and Iceland, prompts the “ Daily Express” editorially to tell linn lie is mukinjjj n gro«it m istakc. He is planning ail anti-climax as elaborate and at the same time as unnecessary and inartistic as any recorded in history. There are two essentials to a perfect achievement in any and every walk of life. One is the art of elimination and the other is the art ol avoiding a repetition. Imagine Horatius defending the bridge not once in bis lifetime, but two or three times :t month. These things once done are done for 'ever as far as the original author is concerned. Lindbergh’s heroic flight belongs to that honoured category.
