SEEK HELIUM IN TRINIDAD ISLAND Largest Oil Producer in Bri- tith Empire Engaging in Search Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, BWI, April 6.--Does helium gas exist in Trinidad? This is a question of ex- ceptional interest to the people of the Island, and the findings of the Gove ernment analyst are being watched very anxiously, as if helium gas is found in Trinidad it will mean a great aid for the Colony in its present in- dustrial depression and Trinidad will have another distinction to add to that of being the "largest oil pro- ducer in the British Empire." Experiments have been started on a Trinidad oilfield by an investigator whose work along these lines previ- ously inspired the hope of obtaining the gas in appreciable quantities. At the same time it is understood that the Mines Department is directing a series of tests. The search for this commercial product which all avia- tion countries are on the look-out for has previously engaged the attention of the Trinidad Government. Cer- tain analyses for this gas were made some time ago but did not prove a success. The R-101 disaster has called at- tention to the need of finding sources of helium supply within the Empire, although the United States has since relaxed its restrictions on the export of this gas. Helium hot being inflam- mable, its use in airships removes the ! is a real one in some cases of emergency, although it may be under normal conditions negligible. GREAT AIRCRAFT ENDS LONG FLIGHT Flight Down Africa and Back Completed on Schedule Cairo, Egypt, April 6~Exactly to time the formation of three Vickers "Victoria" troop-carriers, chosen to make this year the annual Royal Air Force flight from Cairo to Cape Town and back, alighted at Heliopolis aero- drome. They returned to their base after an absence of two months, hav- ing flown twice along the entire length of Africa from north to south, a distance of 11,240 miles. This is the first year that "heavy aircraft" have made the journey, which has thus provided much valu- able information about the operation over the route of large aeroplanes similar in size and Jetiomance to the air-liners which should be carrying mails and passengers regularly be- tween Cairo and the Cape before the end of the summer. Further, much was learned which should throw light on the military use of the heavy transport service aeroplane, a type that is expected to play an important part in the strategy of Empire air defence. A Occasionally the flight was de- layed=by bad weather, flying condi- tions at one or two of the aerodromes and, twice, by damage done in land- ing at Broken HMI---but the aero- lanes never failed to make up the ost time with ease and there was never any danger that the pre-ar- od | two S30 h.p. d schedule would be affected) At froken Hill on the putitud jones A | a4 Yikog lumaged a r wing n landing; again on the return one: machine: oe ah obstruction on the landing ground there and sustained damage to the lower wing.

The Lickers "Victoria" troop-car- rier is a big biplane equipped with Napier "Lion" engines. It is able to remain aloft long enough to cover stages of near! 80 miles without refuelling and, with full load on board, weighs eight tons, MRS. SNOWDEN'S FENCE 15 CAUSE OF GOURT CASE Wife of British Chancellor Is Awarded Damages for Trespass London, April 6. -- Mrs. Philip Snowden, wife of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, recently brought an action in the County Court at Farn- ham, Surrey, against a neighbor, Mrs. Tarratt, an 80-year-old widow, claim- ing $35 for damage done to a fence. She also applied for an injunction re- straining Mrs. Tarratt from further alleged trespasses on the Snowden property. The lawsuit was the outcome of dif- ferences between the two neighbors over the fence which separated their grounds, Mrs, Snowden being the ownér of Eden Lodge, Tilford, and Mrs, Tarratt claimin ownership of the land adjoining Eden Lodge. Mrs Snowden acquired her property in 1923, and put up a wire-and-post fence in the middle of a ditch which divid- ed the two properties, The fence re- mained undisturbed for nearly seven years, In 1930 Mrs. Tarratt's son pulled the fence down, and proceedings were taken in the police court for al- leged malicious damage. The magis- trates, however, held that they had not jurisdiction in the case. The fence was re-erected, and was pulled down against last January, this time by an employee of Mrs, Tarratt. In the County Court Mrs. Snowden in giving evidence, said that Mrs Tarratt offered for sale the land which she claimed, and they were willing to buy. They asked her if she had any title deeds, She could not produce any, so they did not buy. Mrs. Tarratt said the land was bought by her father in 1868, She had not brought proof of ownership to Court. The Judge declared the ditch to be the property of Mrs. Snowden. He gave judgment for $5 in respect of trespass, and granted an injunction restraining Mrs, Tarratt, her servant, or agent entering on Mrs. Snowden's land, and in any way interfering with the fence erected by Mrs. Snowden thereon. NEED OF AIR-MARKING COUNTRY STRESSED London, April 6~Reference to the need for "air-marking" the country- side and for measures to combat the smoke nuisance in the interests of aviators are points closely allied to the provision of an efficient network of aerodromes and emergency land- ing grounds which receive attention in the first report of the Aerodromes Committee of the Royal Institute of British Architects, The Committee, which has among its members air pilots and beim constructors and operwors as well as architects, was formed in May, 1929. "Alr-marking" the country is considered to be es- sential nowadays, the expansion of private and business flying reached a point where the airman may rea- sonably expect guidance similar to that afforded the motorist in the signposts along the roads, Efficient "air-marking" includes legible mark- ings at landing fields, beacons, and distinctive coloring and illumination for aerial obstructions such as tall chimneys, church spires, wireless masts and overhead cables carrying electric power. Smoke, states the re- port, is one of the chief causes of foggy conditions and bad visibility, especially around industrial towns. These comprise thermost formidable obstacles to regular flying; the safety and regularity of air transport are not least among the many reasons why the smoke nuisance should be vigorously attacked. You'll repent it if you marry, You'll repent it if you don't, So wherefore should you tarry At "I will" or at "I won't"? Sure your judgment will miscarry, Though you will or though you wont; You'll repent it if you marry, You'll repent it If you don't! Club Financier: "Nows the time to buy Brazilian bonds!" i Club Pessimist: "What with?" 1 (00d Bread ~ What! [tle attempt to bridge ATTACK RAILWAY DIRECTOR SYSTEM Part Time Directors and Lack of Experts Called Handicaps ' London, April 6.--This is the sea: 'son for the annual meetings of the four big English railway companies With railway dividends, except in res td to prior charges, having long een sliding to the vanishing point, it is only natural that stockholders have called into question the compo sition of railway Boards. Roughly speaking stockholders on this mat ter are separated into two divisions, The first advocates a drastic reduce tion in the number of directors and their fees, The second is more anxi- ous as to whether the Board, leaving alone its size, contains the best men that are available, The four English groups have among them 92 directors, whose fees average about $5,750 per director. Ob- viously this is a low remuneration for a whole-time job. Many directors, of course, are appointed with the in- tention of their providing expert knowledge in relation to the man forms of specialized business whic come within the scope of railway ac- tivity. "Lack of the necessary expert knowledge and experience, and the fact that directors do not give their whole time to their duties, are the twin weaknesses of British railway administration," declares the Saturday Review, "They are radical weak- nesses, In England, as in no other country, there has always been an almost complete divorce between the executive and the administrative sides of railway undertakings and very lit- this gap by means of liaison officers. Such a system would be bad in itself; it is obviously worse when a non-expert Board obstinately refuses to co-opt experts, for which reason no general manager or chief engineer of a Bri- tish railway company has ever been permitted to sit on the Board until he resigned his executive functions As for the suggestion that an occa sional director should be chosen from the less exalted ranks of the execu- tive hierachy, that is regarded by chairmen as a combination of inde- cency and major blasphemy." -- LONG DISTANCE RATES LOWER London, April 6.--~During the Bri- tish Empire Trade Exhibition in Buenos Aires all telephone calls be- tween Great Britain. and Buenos Aires connected between 6 pm. and midnight (British time) are being charged at half the normal rates, ac- cording to an announcement made through the Post Office Department, A call from London to Buenos Aires after 6 p.m, will thus cost $5 per min- ute (minimum $15 for three minutes) instead of the normal rate of $10 per minute (minimum $30 for three minutes, Some people rob Peter to pay Paul, and then forget to pay Pau, SUNLIGHT and HEALTH Mothers. have you ever no ticod that during the early spring months your child. ren are more susceptible to colds, pneumonia and other kindred ailments, than dar. ing the summer months?

Dr. S. P. Matheson, Archbishop of Rupert's Land, An: gliean Primate of all Canada, in a letter to The Times. Archbishop Matheson writes in his capacity as President of the Overseas Educa- tion League, and refers to the fact that in 19256 it was his privilege as head of the League to extend an in- vitation to the teachers of the Bri- tish Isles to visit the Dominion, The Archbisbop in his letter says: "As soon as Major Ney, (Mayor Fred J. Ney, educationist, Winni- peg), our vice-president and hone orary organizer who has been re- sponsible for the work of the Lea- sue during the 21 years of its ex- {stence, suggested the possibility of a repetition of such a visit, I deem- od it a pleasure to repeat my invita- tion to another group of education- fsts, and this I do most heartily. Those of us who recall the very nleasing impression created by the former visit and the extremely hap. py and profitable intercourse which we enjoyed with the 'happly band of pilgrims' who came to use then cannot refraim from desiring a re- petition of the experience. More- over, we feel that it was a mutu- ally helpful incident in the lives of all who took part in it. "I first visited the Motherland in 1876; from the experiences of a long lite and from what I have seen of the results upon Canadian teach- ers, I know the well-nigh incalcul- able benefits of travel, It induces growth and wider vision; it count. eracts any forces that might im- neril, in {tg development, the integ- rity of this great, widespread Com- monwealth, of which we should be nroud, and which we should all do our best to safeguard. Comradeship ind personal contact between in- dividuals and groups of individuals furnish the best guarantee of a «ood understanding between peo- ples and nations. That is what we need in order to preserve and rafe. guard the integpity of our Com- monwealth--in short, we need un- derstanding of view-pointa, and that can be best obtained by meeting to "ether as we can, "Visits, then, of a group of tra vellers, whose function {is intelli ~ently to mold and color public op- inion, to various parts of our far- flung Comntonwealth, thus comin® into personal touch and contact with representatives of its various sections, can be of untold benefit, For that reason, we extend the warmest of welcomes to educntion- Ists of both sexes from the Home- land who will be good enough to visit once again ovr vast Canadian heritage, and we shall do our very best to male thelr sojourn among us both pleasant and profitable."

No matter what happened, he would say that, At last his wife and friends met with him and each told of having the same dream about Mr. Jones. The wife sald: "We all dreamed that you were in hell and that the devils were torturing you terribly." Sald Jones: "It might be worse." In amazement she asked him how anything could be worse. "Begor,'" said he, "it might be true." A motorist who was lost asked a native: "Is this the road to St. Ives?" aud received the reply, "I dunno." Motorist: "Well, can you tell me which is the road to Cot- tenham?" "I dunno." Motorist, exasperated: 'Well, you don't seem to know much.' "Maybe I don't, but I'm not lost." A man, accompanied by his wife, visited his tallor to order a suit. The couple differed regarding the material and style, and the wife lost her temper. . "Oh, well," she said, turning away, "please yourself. I suppose you are the one who will wear the clothes." "Well," observed the husband meekly, "I didn't suppose you'd want to wear the coat and waist. coat!"
