A « prised to to increase notably the safety of flight : : t. 'The greatest enemies of aviation, 'fog, wind, and storm, exist omly in the lower parts of the atmosphere, © 'below a height of about six miles. | Above this all agitation of the air disappears; it is a fegion of calm, where storms are unknown. The air- plane that files at such altitudes need not fear that it will be lost in fog or carried away by tempest. rh But at the Same tine that its flight, Is safer, it may also become much more swift. The principal thing that limits speed is the difficulty of ve ducing it sufficiently, in the course of descent, to allow a landing to be made. If the flight is at a great height, the descent will be corres- pondingly long, and the most quall- fled specialists believe = that at ten miles elevation a speed of 350 miles an our would be practicable. A primary difficulty, which is in truth a serious one, at omee presents itself, How can the pilot and the passengers live during a 'ong journey at such a height, where the air is so extremely rarefied as to be quite _unsuitable to breathe The use of masks fed by pure oxygen, quite proper in a merely sporting flight, would be uncomfortable and out of the question in a passenger plane. The only acceptable solution would] be to place pilot and patsengers in 2 hermetically sealed cabin where the pressure would be artificially main- tained at a point near that which exists at the earth's surface, the re mewal of the oxygen taking place at the same time as the absorption of the gaseous products of respiration. The construction of airplanes with such cabins weuld present some dif- fculty, but the celebrated balloon as- cension of Professor Piccard to a height of ten miles has shown its possibility, Another dificulty now presonts it- ' sel. We must not only assure the proper functioning of our lungs at such a height, but also 'of the motors, Now these utilize the explosion of a gaseous mixture of gasoline vapor and air. The rarefaction of the air with increasing height involves a di- minution of the explosive force of the mixture and so of the power of the motor. Says M. Boutaric: Divers plans have been proposed to remedy this. One of the simplest was that of the late Auguste Rateau of sur Academy of Science, It consists In super-feeding the motor as the Mtitude increases, by compressing the air before admitting it. Rateau proposed to use a compressor run by the motor itself, or, more economical ly, by a small turbine operated by ihe gas of the exbaust In Rateau's apparatus a simple valve makes it possible to super-feed the motor to the desired degree. At "a height of three miles air would be admitted at a pressure twice the nor- mal pressure at this altitude, This means also increasing the speed. . Hitherto all the planes built on the Rateau plan have been for military use, Pilot and observers are uncov- ered, and breathe through oxygen masks, But as soon as we have planes with air-proof cabins there will be 'atlantic fights will present little lif- ficuity, and New York and Paris will de only a few hours apart! ; ; tei he WELL MEANT / That although the Canada lynx is sometimes confused with the bobcat or bay lynx of the east, he is an entirely different creature? He is to be distinguished from his meaner relatives by his lighter gray color, tuft of long black hairs on the tips of his ears and his large, hairy paws. He feeds chiefly on rabbits though he also favors grouse and other game birds. It has also been reported that he sometimes kills deer and caribou.

One of the greatest pleasures in life is doing what other people say you cannot do. Records are broken by men who are so hard pushed that they have to break a record in order to win, When one sees a girl who is the picture of health he may suspect that. she painted the picture herself. Men sue for twice what they expect and happily pocket haif of the 'atter amount. Nothing warms & girl's heart as quickly as promising to go through fire for her. No matter how angry you get, a pretty girl is as bard to ignore as the earache. Girls will never ad- mit middle age until their chins be- come plural, Many a girl who thought she married a big gun discovered that she married a cap pistol.

There are a number -¢ bodily ail- ments that are apt to arise in over weight men and women, and if excess fat 1s reduced in the right way, very often improved health 'ollows--as it did with this woman :-- "I used to have a great deal of fat that seemed to nearly stop me breath- ing, especially when I knelt down to do my housework, or was walking up a hill. I would simply have to fight for my breath for about 2. minutes. But now that has all gone, thanks to Kruschen. I have lost 14 Ibs. in weight, and am able to get about in comfort. I can work all day and not feel tired. I feel so much better, and am so pleased to have lost some of the fat that was steadily gaining ground with me, and ruining my gen- eral heal'h."-- (Miss) A. K. There are six vita. mineral salts in Kruschen. These salts combat the cause of fat by assisting the internal organs to perform their functions pro- perly--to throw off each day those waste products and poisons which, if allowed to accumulate, will be convert- ed by the body's chemistry into fatty tissue. Unlike ordinary aperients, Kruschen does not confine its action to a single part of th, system, Its tonic effects extend to every organ, gland, nerve a 1 vein, " ilate mmm Size 16 requires 3% yards of 39- inch material, HOW TO ORDER PATTERNS, Write your name and address plain- ly, giving numker ard size of sush patterns as you want, Enclose 15¢ in stamps or coin (coin preferred; wrap it carefully) for each number, ana address your order to Wilson Pattern Service, 73 West Adelaide St., Toronto, ee Little Things Little things that run and quail And die in silence and despair; Little thing that fight and fall All fall on earth and sea and air; All trapped and frightened thin, ' The mouse, the coney, hear gur prayer. little As we forgive those dome to us, The lamb, the linoet, and the hare, Forgive us all our trespasses, Little creatures everywhere, --James Stephens, in "Modern British Poetry." ism cpt-- URGENT | Adolphus walked into the {irom- monger's shop.

A beastiful team of huskies plus harness and Alaskan sled sold for $75, as compared with about $300 the outfit would bave fetched three years ago. The Manitoba pro- vincial police disposed of them "om the bid." And the sale has more than pass- ing significance. Dog teaming out of The Pas, famous all over the world as the mecca of mushers, has now come to an end. Railways and air- planes have put an end to freighting with dogs. At present all signs point tp great activity in the God's Lake gold coun- try northeast of here. In other years many dog trains would have beea engaged in freighting supplies and equipment into the district. So far this Winter there have been only a few calls for dogs, p ct pre- ferring to use a plane. The trip from Mile 137 on the Hud- son Bay Railway to God's Lake oc cuples eight days by dog team. A plane covers the distance in a few hours. So dogs go into the discard. mee pee New Phone Service London -- Radio-telephone service to South Africa bas now been extend- ed to Durban, it is announced by the Postmaster-General here.

CoO PENSIVELY. iniormation: 3 Drawer By JOSEPH C. GREW American Ambassador to Japan The American people are heart and soul behind the peace movement and bebind those who have labcred to bring about a situation where warfare between civilized pativns will by as extinct as human slavery is in civilized nations today. There is another matter iu which the American people are interested, and that is a financially stable and prosperous Japan. Nobody can ap. preciate better than you busiuess men that financia and economie prosperity is a corollary of peace. Organized warfare of any natur. is a heavy financial burden. In some cases it is financially and economi- cally devastating. The machinery of warfare is itself one of the greatest drains upon the exchequer of the world. The peace policy of the Uni. ted States, far from being contrary to the real interests of Japan, is pre- cisely in accord with those interasis. As for ways of working out the problems in volved in this world movement, differences of opinion in- evitably arise. There can be no ors important duty for statesmansiip and diplomacy today than to smooth out and align such differences of opinion.
