MIMS SHOWS VALUE OF NATIONAL LITERATURE (Continued from Page 1) . of her gifted sons, such as Moliere and Charmagne, and how the poe try of Robert Burns revealed to the world of his time and to ours the glory of Scottish scenery and the significance of Scottish life. Citing the national anthems of the countries at war as examples, the speaker showed'how the songs of a nation take on a different meaning under the pressure of a new situation. "The poets have had the power to put into speech words that have had power to ex press the soul of the nation." Pa triotism and idealism is also in terpreted in the literature of a nation.": In conclusion Dr. Minis empha sized the fact that the function of literature is not only the develop ment of nationalism, but interna tionalism. "The struggle in which wo are engaged," he said, "is not a struggle between nations; there is a great tendency towards the international mind." LIEUT. THOMSON LECTURES ON "PRINCIPLES OF FLIGHT" (Continued from Page 1) with two Vickers machine guns, which are fired by the observer or gunner. The pilot sits under the top plan, and a window of trans parent material is placed in the plane so that he can see what is above him. The identification marks of the French aerolanes are red, white, and blue insignia. The Germans mark their machines with black iron crosses. Often Allied and German machines are so much alike that these marks arc all that distinguishes them. Lieut. Thomson also went into the theory of the aeroplane and why the planes lift the machine. The whole thing lies in having the wings curved like a bird's wing but better. The Germans haven't succeeded so well in making this curve. "We have improved on both bird and the Germans," Lieut. Thomson said. Two thirds 'of the lifting effect is produced by the upper surface of the plane, and one third by the lower surface. The reason for this is an unsolved problem of physics. The steering and control of an aeroplane, bomb-dropping, : aerial photography, machine gun shoot ing, and the dangers of flying were also described by Lieut. Thomson. A picture of a captured German machine was shown in this connec tion. The steering, both lateral and vertical, is done by a wheel or stick in the center of the cock pit. The pilot pulls this when he wishes to go up, pushes it when he wishes to go down, and also uses it in- turning corners. The first thing in starting a flight is to whirl the propellor and thus crank the engine. "An aeroplane easily beats a Ford in the time it takes to start," said Lieut. Thomson, "for it usually - takes forty-five minutes of work by the mechan ics." When the machine is going over the ground, it is turned by a mechanic at the tip of each wing. In the air, it takes the elevator, the rudders, and the flaps of the wings to make a turn. One of the greatest dangers of flying, Lieut. Thomson said, is the engine stall ing. The only thing to do then is to volplane down to the ground, and if thed escent is riot started right, the machine vvilL not vol plane, but will crash to the ground with its pilot. Lieut. Thomson concluded his lecture by describ ing how a machine gun fires through the revolving propeller without ever hitting it. The gun is so timed that whenever the pro pellor is in the way of the bullets, the gun misses a shot. Leftenant Thompson the man was as interesting to his hearers as his lectures. Typically British, both hr accent and in personality, he made a distinct impression upon his audiences. He expressed him self as delighted with Chapel Hill and the hospitable reception he had received while here. , " Ml ..IT s n I T i l C. S.

It is proper, too, that we should entertain a love and pride for our own section. Provincial ism is a healthy, normal thing in one sense. In the second lecture Dr. Mims traced the development of the spirit of nationality in our coun try's history and pointed out the men that had done most to bring it about. "Interpreters of Freedom and Democracy" was the theme of the third ? lecture. The speaker de: fined briefly the different concep tions of freedom and democracy as expounded by our great leaders such as Jefferson, Lincoln, and Wilson, and showed how these con ceptions have become changed and modified during the course of our history. - vv ' : ' In his concluding lecture he ex pounded our American ideals of culture and the contributions of America to the thought of the world.
