Visitors to London today who knew London before. the war, have "been noticing the vast difference . and improvement in the appearance of the London taxicab. Although "there are still a large number of rickety old cabs about the London . streets, they are finding it difficult to compete with the mlost arresting fure of smart .cabs colored in chic shades, looking more like private autos, and containing €very amen- ity of a new car, including heating apparatus 'and a rack containing books and the day's newspapers. However, still more interesting facts were revealed in London this week at the largely attended meet- "ing of taxicab owners and 'owneg- drivers who took the. opportunity of |sin 'their annual dinner to discuss the probabilities of aerial competition. The: question arose through the fact that the day before, Colonel, - thé Master of Semphill, a noted aviator, who was attending a lunch at the Savoy Hotel, took a small seaplane from Hendon and landed on the River Thames just at the foot of the Savoy's water-gate. He carried a taxi passenger with him. Point was added to' this demon- stration of taxi-faring by the fact that a friend of the Colonel, sls Sonus for lunch, picked up a iol eaplatie. ihe € Ea p at 'the Sor be 40 'minutes EE his friend, - (Hendon is only 8 miles from the hotel.) don taxicab proprietors feel hurt at. the amount of space devot- eX the ois player seeks the court, with ball and raequet, and, net stretched out across the playing area, finds his true enjoy- ment in the zest of the game. respecter of sexes. The ladies are equally as adept at it as the men, and both join in it with a JoySutness of spirit that is summer time perso ed to the contest and the dismal showing of the taxicab -- which, they pointed out, was not a mew gecruit to the London ranks. Other remarks made at the meet ing betrayed that the tiny 'saloon car, or sedan, the favorite of the woman driver, is hitting the taxi- cab hard. Every Englishwoman Lwith any means whatever is buying 'her "luncheon car" 4s it is called and reducing her taxi bills to nothing. Now, as a means of attracting feminine fares, some oOwner-drivers are painting their cabs sky. blue, green, mauve and lemon and' in- stalling flowers and colored curtains, as a bait to feminine fickleness. RUSH FOR LAND _ 1000 Settlers in Peace River District Since Beginning of Year Montreal, May 21.--The land rush to North Alberta continues apace. It is reported by the Edmonton offices of the Canadian National Railways Colonization Department that approx- imately 1,000 new settlers with capital aggregating more than one million \dollars, had gone into the Peace Ri- yer country and Northern Alberta since the first of the year and up to the first week of April.

Among these was one man with $20,000 capital, another with $14,000 and another with $12,000. During the first quarter of the year 400,000 acres of government land were taken up by homesteaders in the four western provinces, an in- crease of nearly 100,000 acres over the same period of last year, In the ; taken in Manitoba, 994 in Sas- ate n, 1277 in Alberta and 96 in British ¢ Columbia, Homesteading in Northern Alberta has been unprece- dent during this period.

Odette, mem- ber of parliament for East Essex. The pair will' be the 'winners of a special contest in the Toledo schools. All students of the public, separate and high schools of that city are writing essays on Canada and the writers of the two best manusctipts will be chosen for the expedition. When Mr, Odette spoke at a citi- zens' picnic last summer in Toledo he suggested' the pupils should com- pete in such a manner and he then volunteered to entertain the winner at Ottawa. The proposal was en- dorsed by the parent-teachers' as- sociations there and a special com- mittee was appointed to arrange the contest. It was decided to extend the scope of the competition to in- clude the jhigh schools: One grade "school and one high school student will be chosen. The contest was suggested by Mr. tte as a means ug Amplanting in the minds of the students greater and more teligble information of the Dominion, FLYING IN GERMANY | RANKS AS SAFE Statistics Show Marked De-|§ creas ein Casualties During Year Berlin, May 22.--Commercial avia- tion in Germany has become an-al- most perfectly 'safé means of trans- portation during the past few years, with the 'number of deaths and in- juries showing a marked decrease | over the .period in, which commercial air travel was first introduced. Statistics just published by the Lufthansa Company, the largest com- mercial aviation enterprise in this country, showed that measured in (terms of mileage, casualities during the. past three. years have:bcen re- duced to a minimum, In 1926 thereswas one casualty to every 100,000 miles, In 1927 this was reduced to one casualty to every 150,- 000 miles. During 1928 the casual- ties have been reduced further, to one in every 200,000 miles flown. .. The reduction was laid principally to the fact that multimotor planes have been put into 'use by nearly all the operating companies.
