The airport at Cuzco is at an altitude of 10,900: feet and the field at Huana-copampa is about 12,600 feet above sea level. The plane has to fly over an intervening mountain range 15,000 feet high, The mine itself is located on the western slde of the Rio Santo Tomas which flows from a southerly. direc. tion through the: Apurimac Valley, The plane seledted for this work is a tri-motored Ford, similar to the ones used in regular 'scheduled pas- senger operation of Panagra and con. verted to a cargo plane, A hateh nine and three guarter feet long:;and four and one half feet wide was cut in on the top of the fuselage for loading. The interior was fitted with a small trolley on rails and connected to & hand winch in order to place the cargo in proper relation to the centre of gravity, Tests were made at Las Palmas airport, Lima, to prove that the plane 'could : continue in level Tight at 16,000 feet on only two mo- ors, : .

More than £500,000 has been spent by the South African Government on its war against locusts in three months, it was announced by Dr. J. Viljoen, Secretary of Agriculture at an anti-locust conference here, at- tended by prominent members of Parliament and Natal farmers. Locusts are one of the biggest menaces that South African farmers have to face. A swarm of them can destroy a flourishing crop in an hour, Dr. Viljoen said that the Agricultu- ral Department had experimented on a large scalé with airplanes, and locusts, after they had settled, could be destroyed effectively by this means, and with very little danger if properly controlled. They could do as much with one airplane in half an hour as could be done by 20 men in 10 days. bi gad Dr, Viljoen declared that the Gov- ernment would use more airplanes in its war against the pest and would hunt down the breeding plac- os. : The gravity of the locust danger to crops in Natal can be judged by | the fast that ome farmer reported that he had the previous day seen a swarm 80 miles long flying over from | bad, as ever: 'Woman's Long Search For a Remedy The trouble with most remedies for onsciption as this woman found, is that they give only tem- porary relief. aving at last 2 permanent corrective, d a e writes to. tell us about it:-- "For ent 80 years I was a vietim of a genstipation, 1 tried practi spe: ing that . way: possil to. try. dL admit 1 was a. nic and every new vemedy. 1 trigd helped for a day two---after that | was just as Three months 1 first taste of Kruschen Salts, and every morning since, d syery morning as long as 1 five. my first duty upon arising is ay Kruschen. 1 honestly reel a different woman, My bowels act to the clock, and my friends re- mark how well 1 um 1ooking.

A.--Debts owed to the United States government -by our Allies in the World War, for loans made to them during and after the War. Q.--How mniuch were the . total loans? fi A.--$10,350,000,000. Q.--How much was loaned before the armistice? A.--$1,000,000,000. Q.--How was the money sent to Europe? ; : . A.--The money was not sent to Europe. It was paid to American manufacturers, farmers and other business men by a Committee of the American ~ Ward Industries Board. Q.--What for? A.--Munitions of war, food, cot- ton and other supplies sent to our Allies; transportation, shipping in- terest. Q.--How much was loaned after the armistice, A.--$2,600,000,000 in relief sup- plies, Q.--How was this money sent to Europe? A.--It was not sent to Europe. It wag practically all spent in the United States for the purchase of war supplies, cereals . and cotton sent to our Allies, post-armistice Q.--Why were these loans made to the Allied Powers after the armistice? A.--The principal reason given by the Secretary of the Treasury was that these loans would enable Ameri- can- business men te complete their war-time contracts with the Allied Powers. If these war-time contracts were suddenly cancelled, he said, it would have an injurious effect upon American business, Q.~How much of the total loan has been repaid? A.--Approximately one billion of the principal and two billion in in- terest. : Q--How much is: the total debt now? ) A--About $11,600,000,000. . Q.--How can that be? It was '| less: the. that in the first place. A.--For several years no interest was paid. Part of the accrued in- terest was added to tht debt. Q.--Didn't the United States can- cel a large part of the ar debt some years ago? A.--No. There have cancellations of interest. Q.--Why was that done? A.--The 'original rate was b per cent. Congress concludtd that was pretty high, so . it authorized the Treasury to figure accrued inter- est at 414 per cent, the same as on our Liberty bonds. That cancelled part of the back interest. Later, when funding agreements were made with the different nations owing money to us, interest was figured at a lower rate still, Great Britain's average interest over sixty-two years is 8.8 per cent, so in the case of the British, debt the United States canceled the difference between 5 per cent. and 3.3 per cent. In the case of France we canceled the dif- ference between 5 per cent, and 1.6 per cent, In the case of Italy we can- celed all but four-tenths of one per cent interest. Q. -- Why was there such a dif- ference? A.--It was based upon a supposed difference in ability to pay. Q.-~Why should England pay 8.3 per cent. while France pays only 1.6 per cent.? . A--Because England was looked upon as a wealthy, powerful nation, while French was poor and strug- gling. Q.--How much does England owe? A.--$4,300,000,000.

The properly cautious burglar prefers to work In the darkness at the back of the house anyway. ' Iiis true that most householders leave .the key in the back door lock, It is also true it is fairly hard to open the lock from the outside while the key is on the inside. However, the key can bg shoved out with ease. At this point, we make our invaluable contribution to the safety of householders, Take an eight-inch piece of fairly stiff wire and bend it into the form of & halr- pin. . Drop this over the sprindle of the door knob and thrust the ends through the opening of the key.

Stranger (eagerly)--Well, give me that and pay me the rest later, I'll take a chance on you being honest.

Shoe Development Greatly Improved In Last Century Our own private household hints: The best way to find a pin on the floor of your home is to walk around the room in your stocking feet. It Is Now Recognized That Health Begins From the Ground Up Youth: "Swimming ain't allowed in this lake." Young Woman: "Why didn't you tell me that before-I undressed." Youth: "Oh, they ain't no against undressing." Less than a hundred years ago the man behind the counter selling shoes to the suffering public did not even know the difference between the right shoe and the left shoe, It was a case of putting the best foot forward un- der a bad bargain, The fact of the matter remains, and it seems almost impossible to beliave there was no difference as both shoes were made made on an identical last, With due respect to the cobblers of eighty-five years ago it seems their intelligence must have been at a rather low ebb. Nature has been careful to draw a distinct difference between the for- mation of the right and left foot and to allow any artisan to ignore the pri- mary principles of anatomy appears to our modern culture nothing short of criminal, ! Fortunately those 'good old 'days" have gone and are now forgotten, To- day an incorrectly fitting shoe is now worthless; it is recognized that our liealth begins from the ground up. If the delicate bones .of the feet are badly placed In time they become dis- located and the tortures of the middle ages could not be more excruciating. Short Shoe Folly Theo short shoe is the swiftest route to foot misery and many a success- ful bunfon owes {ts origin to the care- less fitting of an ignorant shoe sales- man. Further, it must be understood and recognized that the foot is act- ually quite a bit longer, when stand- fng and bearing the weight of the body, Measurements should be taken with the customer standing, Length is not the only factor in this recipe for foot comfort, because the width is of vital importance and too wide or too narrow a shoe Is the Are You Nervous, Weak? law Sign in the bathroom in the corner boarding house: "Please clean tub after bathing Landlady" In a shoe store the boss saw a new and inexperienced clerk throw a brand new paid of shoes in the waste basket. Boss (indignantly) --What is the idea of throwing those shoes away? Clerk--They are no good. I tried to fit them on six fellows and they wouldn't fit any of them. Eighteen is careless and happy, and 81 is hairless and cappy. A.--$800,000,000. Q.--How niuch does France owe? A.--$3,800,000,000. Q.--How much gold has France? A.--$3,400,000,000. , Q--Then is France really a poor- er and more struggling nation than England? A.--Not poorer, but more strug- gling. France struggles much hard- er to keep her gold. Q.--With all that gold, why did France refuse to pay the $19,999,990 instalment of December, 19327 A.--Because Germany had ped paying reparations. Q.--What did that have with it? A.--The French people had ex- pected to pay the debt with money obtained from Germany. Q.--Where did Germany get the money? A.~--Germany borrowed the United States. Q.--So the United States loaned money to Germany with which to pay France so that France could use it to pay the United States? A~--Yes. Q.--Then the United States hasn't collected a cent? : A~~Not a cent. We have merely loaned the money with which' we have been repaid.
