Two hundred girl students of the Hakodate Otauma higher school have agreed to go without lunches for the next six months and to donate their lunch money to some flight project. While the Imperial Aviation association, stirred by the exploits of American fliers, 18 considering ways to promote a Pacifio hop in the summer of 1928, the present prospects for any such venture are not bright. It is estimated that the cost of such a flight would be in the neighborhood of $500,000, and the raising of this fund a principal problem because Japan 1s financially embarrassed. Other obstacles in the way of an ocean flight are airplanes and tors.

The Japanese record for continuous flight is but a littie more than 11 hours, and until this record is bettered it is believed useless to think of a trans-Pacific attempt. No real long distance airplane has been developed in Japan, and no Japanese aviator would consider making the flight in a foreign machine. It is hoped that the necessary plane may be de- en veloped during the coming year. FORD PLANS NEW PLANE FIVE-PASSENGER CRAFT FOR FAMILY USE Saturday evening at the bride's home.
