There is only one regret to be voiced in connection with the con- solidation of the systems. That is that Hon, W. C. Kennedy, the late minister of railway, did not live to fee the completion of the task which he faced with such energy and cour- age when he became a member of the King cabinet in December of 1921. This was his one great piece of work, and he gave every promise during the last seasion of the house of hav- ing the arrangements for the con- solidation ready before the present session started. It would have been a fitting close to a career of public service, but it was willed otherwise; and those who have in thelr minds this sentiment will trust that the Divine Providence will grant that from the place where he has gone he will see the fulfillment of the task which he labored so faithfully to complete, AN "AIR FLIVVER." The Litgrary Digest calls attention to the fact that from time to time ihe ropont goes out, usually on in- definite authority, that Henry ord, manufacturer of the most frequent motor car, is planning to cnter the aeroplane market with a machine that will fill the highways of the sky even as his famous '"'flivvers" are darkening the highways of the eanth, In the course of a significant little article on "The Next Phase of Auto~ motive Engineering," in the current number of U.S. Air Service (Wash- ington), Mr. Ford predicts that "Once given the safe and economical aerial veohicle, the public will find many uses for it." The Detroit manufacturer was an officdal at the Aero Meet, in his city last October, and attracted a good deal of atten- tion by the interest he took in all phases of flying. The little article to whidh he signs his name in Air Service runs as follows: "The roal champions of the people- at-large are our engineers and in- vertors. The inventor stands with the greatest benefactors of human- ity, His work is permanent and the benefits thereof accrue till the end of time. ; "Centuries hence the times in Which we live will be remembered as the period when automobiles began to contribute their economic service tn mavkiad, and when mon first be- gan to fly.

Automotive development has brought to a stage of reliability and veonomic performance the automo- bile, the motor-boat, and is now be- ing uscd in the large ocean-going steamer, "In view, however, of the constant earch of a means of annihflating time and space, the most serious at- tention and consideration are being given to aviation, Here is some- thing new.

The unmistakable Russo-Turkey military | operations in prospect is so fully to engage Great Britain by threatening her Near East Interests as to prevent her going to the assistance of France, So apparent is the purpose o these two nations that their contin luation at the Lausanne conference has for some days been regarded with suspicion by all European na- tions, The course pursued there by the Turkish representatives was merely one of deliberate delay to gain time to manoeuvre troops into position to make the threat which Turkey believes will bring the other nations to terms.
