FLIGHT, JUNE 28, 1934 GOGGLE DEVELOPMENT \Y/E all know the trouble that can sometimes be.experi-" enced with goggle elastic and its adjustment. In a new type that has been sent to us by D. Lewis, Ltd., of124, Great Portland Street, W.I, the buckles adjustment is arranged on a leather section of the band, the rest ofwhich is of protected steel springs. The goggles themselves have a sponge-rubber mask shaped to fit the face withoutpressing on the bridge of the nose, and have Triplex Safety Glass lenses in a ventilated frame. . :r; NEW PARACHUTE FACTORY SITUATED at Icknield Way, Letch worth, Herts,England, the new factory of the Irvin Air Chute of Great Britain, Ltd., was opened recently, and a formalinspection made by a number of guests was arranged last Thursday. Irvin Air Chutes, whose manufacture hasoften been described in our pages, have now saved nearly 1,000 lives. New Scholarships THROUGH the generosity of Viscount Wakefield, who isPresident of the College of Aeronautical Engineering, two annual scholarships of £150 each have become availablefor students of aeronautical engineering, and two, inciden- tally, for automobile engineering. Applications should bemade on or before July 27, 1934. Students entering for the scholarship must be at least 17 and not more than 20 yearsof age on October 1, 1934, and must, of course, be of British nationality. A school certificate standard isessential. The Royal Air Force Benevolent FundTHE usual meeting of the Grants Committee of the K.A.F. Benevolent Fund was held at Iddesleigh Houseon June 14. Mr. W. S. Field was in the chair, and the other members of the Committee present were:—Mrs.L. M. K. Pratt Barlow, O.B.E., Mrs. F. Veasey Holt, Wing Com. H. P. Lale, D.S.O., A.F.C. The Committeeconsidered in all a number of cases, and made grants to the amount of £132 11s. An Airway Time-Table : , :„..AN excellent airway time-table, giving particulars of all the passenger air services, British and foreign,is at last available. The Airway Time-Table is produced by Roadway Publications (Polebrook House, GoldenSquare, London, W.I), and is published monthly, price 3d. In addition to the times of departure and arrivalfrom- and to all the important towns and cities of Europe—together with the names of the operating com-panies, fares, etc.—this time-table includes an alpha- betical index (nearly 30 pages) and two maps, one cover-ing the British Isles and the other for Europe. The air services to India and Africa are, of course, included,while the names of British air taxi companies are also given. A Play to seeA VISIT to the Globe Theatre at the present time isexcellent medicine, a palatable mental purge which ought to be taken by everyone with the welfare of aviation atheart. " Meeting at Night," as the play is called, is a satirical de-bunk of the Record Flight Racket cleverlywoven together with similar treatment of the Society News Racket. Leonora Corbett, though a trifle uncon-vincing when making love, lifts the play with great sincerity at the end and permeates it throughout with herexceptional charm. Roger Livesey as the " Stunt-tied " pviator gives a level and well-balanced performance. Thesatire ought to have been even more savage than it was, to make the purge more lasting.
