It is proposed to perform the | flight with thirty-six planes instead of the twelve which flew to South Ameri- | ca. There will be nine groups of four planes each. The number of planes to complete the flight will depend on the {acilities | of the harbors on the route from Rome | to New York for the sheltering of a | large number of seaplanes in sudden | storms.

One hundred million dollars was spent annually in the province to cure disease and only $2,743,999 in dis- ease prevention work. "These figures are out of proportion," exclaimed Dr. Robb. "Think how the province has handled , the typhoid situation. Am outbreak of this disease to-day is re- garded as a scandal. Try to realize how much would be accomplished if the municipalities would pay as much attention to other diseases as they do to typhoid." Dr. Robb dealt with the sums paid for public health work in various por tions of the province. Some countiet paid as little as seven cents per per Toronto was paying $1.60 pes person. "'Peterboro, to its everlasting credit," he said emphatically, "is pay: ing two dollars per individual--tha highest of all, and I am sure it is find | ing it well worth the outlay.
