a England to India .andria on the following Monday; to . in exactly five days, two hours, thirty- In Five Days By HARRY HARPER - (Author of "The Romance of a Modern Airway") An experience to linger in one's memory is to fly as a passenger over the great air-mail route which is oper- ated by Imperial Airways between England and India." By the accelerated time-schedule which will be in operation this sum- mer, one will ascend from London on Saturday morning and be in India on the following Thursday, having flown 5,000 miles above land and sea, with panoramas which will enthrall you un- folding themselves beneath your out:| look window. 5 It seems more like magic than re- ality to be able to leave London on a Saturday morning and to be in Alex- alight at Bagdad on Tuesday evening; and to reach India by Thursday after- noon. Yet such apparent miracles as these, the fruit of organization and of operating experience, are now being accomplished regularly as a matter of daily routine. Passengers bound for India by air assemble on Saturday morning at Air- ways House, London. Then, after sports have been examined and lug- gage taken charge of by airway port- ers, you are escorted to waiting cars and driven to the air station at Croy- don. Taking an armchair seat in one of the powerful Armstrong-Siddeley pas- senger-planes of Imperial Alrways, you ascend and sweep over Kent to the sea-coast,- passing swiftly above the Channel on your way to Paris. After a brief halt at Le Bourget, the pilot steers for Basle, beautiful views lying below--a pangrama of mighty mountains and fertile valleys. Then the city of Basle, where the Rhine makes an almost right-angle turn, is reached. "Now, for a brief spell, the airway is deserted for a sleeping car train and you are travelling throughout the night to Genoa. At Genoa you ascend and fly down the Italian coast via Naples to Corfu, where you alight that same evening. DRAPERIES MADE NEW "When we resumed housekeeping a month ago I found my a had become creased from packing. I hung them out on the line, hoping tc re- move the creases. Then I forgot them. The result was they became badly faded and sun-spotted. "I was heartsick until the. happy thought struck me to dye them, I just dyed them a deeper green, and as I used Diamond Dyes they look gorgeous and new. I have never seen eagier dyes to use than Diamond Dyes. They give the most beautiful colors--when used either for tinting or 'dyeing--and never take the life out of cloth as other dyes do." Mrs, J.F.T.,, Montreal. ---- en Geodetic Reconnaissance During the field season of 1930, the Geodetic Survey of Canada, Depart- ment of the Interior, completed the re- connaissance for an extensive tri- angulation scheme covering Georgian bay and the North channel of Lake Huron together with adjoining lands including Manitoulin Island. The to- tal area, extending from the southern end of Georgian Bay to Sault Ste I"~rie, a distance of 230 miles, whieh may be controlled by such a scheme, will have forty control points distri- buted over ah area of approximately 12,000 square miles. ty "1 think we can well look forward to the time when towns will rebuild themselves as we now go to the tall or for a new suit of clothes."--H. G. Wells, a For Distinguished 'Service . "Heroes are born, not made," we are told. Perhaps this saying is true; at any rate the men pictured above performed heroic service to the public because they had, in their spare time, prepared themselves to render first aid to the injured and were ready when the emergency arose. , Each man is a member of the staff of the Bell Tele- phone Company of Canada. The Bell Telephone Company provides instruction in first aid for all employees who desire it. Over eighty per cent. of the members of the Plant Department are qualified first aiders. The men pictured above have saved life, resuscitated the nearly drowned, bound up the wounded, or, by timely action and quick thinking, prevented serious accidents. In each case their services have been rendered not to fellow employees but to the public at large, often times at great sacrifice and personal danger. As a mark of appreciation, the Bell Telephone Com- pany has made appropriate awards to its men. Top left to right--C. W. Biggin, St. Thomas; E. Tushingham, W. S. Stirling, E. C.

These figures re- present a substantial gain over those obtained for 1913, when there were 5,850,800 geese, 2,086,300 ducks and 63,970,300 chickens. Imports of eggs into Germany in- creased materially until 1928, when a decline began, the Commerce Depart- ment announced. The 1930 imports were 219,908,830 dozen, about 20,000, 000 dozen less than in 1928. - Early next morning you are on.the| wing again, steering for Athens and | Crete, with wonderful views below, | and on above the Mediterranean you | alight at Alexandria. Changing again from flying-boat to | aeroplane, you obtain a fascinating glimpse of Cairo. Soon your "magic carpet" has car- ried you over the Sinai desert to Gaza. On again, fresh wonders greet you-- the round-topped hills of Judah; Bethlehem on your left; and Jerusalem' on a hill beyond, with an impressive, gwiftly-glimpsed panorama of the Dead Sea which, it has been said, "looks lke the bottom of the world" when viewed from a height of about 5,000 feet. Soon after this you find yourself over Bagdad, "Jewel of the East", and as you glide down you catch a passing glimpse of the golden domes of the Kad-i-Main Mosque, and of the narrow streets and date gardens of the city. Early next morning you are in the air again, passing over that wonderful Arch of Ctesiphon and approaching the legendary site of the garden of Eden. After this, from Basra on to Bushire, there is a rapid transition from the tropical basin of the river system to the volcanic mountain ranges of Persia. Flying via Lingeh, you reach and alight at Jask. Ascending again next day, you pass above 'mountains and vast stretches of sand, presently nearing the harbor and port of Marachi. Your air ex- press passes to the north of the town, and on to the commercial air station which lies inland and glides down. You have flown from England to India five minutes. A hundred years ago it was thought wonderful when one of the old sailing ships made a voyage between England and India in not more than 91 days. Five days as com- pared with 91 days! Or, to contrast the aerial mail with the fastest exist- ing surface transport, five days as com- pared with 15 days. Such apparent miracles are possible only with the modern aircraft, which wings its way unhindered ahove sea, mountains, for- ests, or deserts. es mf irs Street Ballads Mexican popular. ballads, the "cor- ridos," are sung in the village streets on market days by professional min- strels.

(One ballad complains against the price policy of the mer- chants.) When the corrido loses its news value it becomes subject to na- tural selection and the minstrel re- tains only those songs that appeal to his audience for their general drama- tic value.
