The plans envisaged by tin- two men who spanned the Atlantic from New York to (icrm&liy in tin' M'-Unnca Monoplane Columbia -would provide for regular trans oceanic lines from America to ^arlouv. points in I'nrope. "I am ready at this moment to put $'2.000.000 Into the scheme." Levlno said. "Itecatise I not only believe It practicable hut that It can lie realized even within n year.

"The main thing." he said today. "Is the constant development of moro efficient machines which csn carry' a greater useful load In proportion to I heir weight. PurtiiK the war We carried one pound of mall per horsepower on jumps of from 200 to 300 miles "Ten years later, we already carry 10 pounds per horse power nn Jumps of front f?oo to 600 miles That Is 10 time* the for mrr efficiency snd shows what the possibilities of engineering de velopment are." "The reaaon we could cross the ocean was because we carried al-i mojt double the weight of oar plane.
