'Ware New Brooms

THERE is something attractive m the swish-swisli of a new, full-haired broom, but the general experience with these otherwise commendable instruments is that so many people struggle for possession — and the broom is no more. There .appears, to be a similar scuffle going on throughout the country at the present time m relation to the adoption; of aeronautics as the new .toy m our national toy-cupboard. Everyone is scuffling and snatching at the subject, making curious promises about what they will do when they get it, but few realize the ajceas of hard work and performance . which will have to bo covered ere the final peg is reached. ' Let us not be misled by the thought that verbal wind is the vital " propelling factor m the taking-off process of an aero club — a good many of its are jumping to the conclusion that membership 'm such _ organisations is somewhat akin to looking graceful on the opening day of a tennis club. Promise is merely the can into which the motive spirit of hard work and liquid capital is poured —without this spirit you might just as well attempt to start your flivver on the fumes from ari empty benzine drum.
