Air travel beconies -every. day a corn- moner mnode of 1)ridging thue gap between two points. especîally when the points are widely separated. H-igh speed A ir 'and straight-line directness, Travel two facilities largely dqeiied to land tr.av-el,. givîe air travel a peculiar advantage, ý,luetu it cornes to the making of continental anid semi-continent-ý ai journeys. The roads of the air have three (inren-_ sions, îlot inerely.length and,b)readti. ILike water traffi c 'air-traffic needs lo .sp)eciallv const ructed road,-beds., Unlike' land-,ani water vchicles, -air-vehiicles rnay travel in anv direction, Upl and downi as wl as in a- horizontal plane. But air-travel lias its decided <isadvan- tages. 'Air is- a tricky mediumn. Its sudden and vigorous changes are a fréquent mie- ace to airships, large and sinali. An air- ship), %vhen ail is said and done, is nothing( more thian a barni-door %villing 'to reinain in the air only when noving forward at great sp.eed. -ILet the sp)eed (lecrease to 'a certain level and what went u wi11 corne down. For many, many years to cone, :travel. on'terra firnma an(1 on water only a littie less firn, vil play:i ts necessary part i n carrying people and packages fromn place to place. The day when one on an -air- ship can read with full attention a news- paper or a novel has not àrrived, at Ieast so far as we are concerned. this attitude towards physical ,,ýork stili persi-sts, more widely, it is true, in the old world than in - the new. And it~ is ufortunate. that many even in -America -scorn so-caI1ed "dirty" work. We 'hold that the collecting of garbage, *ashes, :and other refuse is thoroughly. ception for our refuse collectors and to -deliver speeches in their bonor. but such 'a reception might help them to achieve and maintain self-respect. and in addition it rnight help others to correct their dis- torted V'iew's. The old, and -almost sacred, idéa that nothing except gooçl should be said of the dead, iîs in need-.of révision and expansion. Hlereé is our suggestion: If Say It You have. anyt-hing good ta Nowav, about :the living, s-ay it beoetheèy'die. In the ope ning, paragraph of b is esqay on Burns, Carlyle caIls the reader's atten-. tion to tbe déplorable fact that during the liOf Burns 'neither he nor hi*s poems were publicly appreciated and yet tha t after bis death monuments wvere erected to'-bir n and streets: namned after ii. Car- lyle is of the opinion that this post- imortern appreciation -,as an aggravation of the injustice done to the great Scottish poet. Veagree with. Carlyle.

The praise -would certainly 'in-, crease the liappiness aiîd amintion of i)oth parties. . Sincere praîse is welcoine ai-d hielpful to both o-Id and youing-. If your friend, father, sister, acquaint- ance do es soinething that really seemns to -\ou very fine,, speak out your praise.
