EUROPE LEADING IN * AERIAL PROGRESS Montreal, Aug. 16--In at least one phase of progress, Europe has taken the lead from America, and that is in the way of aerial transportation, ac- cording to Emile Barriere, manager. of the New Yérk Times offices in Paris, who is visiting relatives and friends in Montreeal. "In England and in continental Europe," said Mr. Barriere, "you will ~find regular aerial transport services between the "principal cities, whith are gradually being utilized to a great extent by diplomats, business * men and tourists, because of their great efficiency and security. It may be that in the matter of postal trans- portation America is ahead of Eur- ope, but as far as Passenger trans+ portation is concerned, I think Eyr- ope is far ahead" Mr. Barriere, who has travelled extensively in continental Eurepe, and in Africa, during and after the war, stated that something like nor- mal conditions have been reached by all countries affécted by the great conflict, Much of the rancor visible sn the conclusion of peace, he said, has disappeared practically every- where, and today, business relations d>etween the ald enemies are helping 0. re-establish cordial co-operation. Speaking of his own wotk, Mr. Bar- jere outlined the progress actam- plished by newspapers as regatds the dissemination of news around the world.

MAN NAY IVE FOR EVER IS CLA Londen, August 15.--The claim that scientists will eventually waxe it possible for a man to live for ever if he wishes was put forward by Professor F. A. H. Créw, of Bd- inburgh University, at the Sbcial Hygiene School at Cambridge. : "It is of the utmost importance," he said, "that we should fre our- gélf once and for all of the notion that death is a pecegsary attribute or an inevitable consequence of life. It has heen abundantly dem- ongtratéd that life ¢yn and dods continue without céasing. "Given approprigte and ngecep- sary conditions of enviropment, etérnal youth is in faet a reality for a number of forms. It is pop: sible to take a worni and by repeat- ed procepses of stafvdtion keep it alive 20 times longer than it would have lived in the ordinary way. Similar treatment in the cpbe of a man might bring about similar re- juvenation, but | doubt it. Swarva- tion has a different éffect' ypon human mechgnism and is apt to throw it out of gear. "There are no myste ot Ite and death," he said, "only dgnor- ance. As knowledge incregses, as increase it myst, so also will mans power ovér his physical emviron- ment and over the methanism that is himgelf.
