The repertoire of the minstrel contains songs about the last inundation as well as the last murder, _ It relates and comments on political Bappenings, love stories, economics. _ (One ballad complains against the price policy of the merâ€" chants.) When the corrido loses its news value it becomes subject to n&â€" Ascending again next day, you pass above mountains and vast stretches of sand, presently nearing the harbor and port of Karachi. Your air exâ€" press passes to the north of the town, and on to the commercial air station which lies inland and glides down. You have flown from England to India in exactly five days, two hours, thirtyâ€" five minutes, A hundred years ago it was thought wonderful when one of the old sailing ships made a voyage between England and India in not more than 91 days. Five days as comâ€" pared with 91 days! Or, to contrast the aerial mail with the fastest existâ€" ing surface transport, five days as comâ€" pared with 15 days. Such apparent miracles are possible only with the modern aircraft, which wings its way unhindered above sea, mountains, forâ€" ests, or deserts. tural selection and the minstrel re tains only those songs that appeal to his audience for their general dramaâ€" tic value. Thousands of these Songs made in the villages have never been written down, but in cities publishâ€" ers supply the minstrels with text sheets. _ On holidays the minstrel presents songs specially written for the occasion, such ar the Calaveras (skulls), which are grotesque verses, often imitating funeral sermons, ing past bune. Early next morning you are in the alr again, passing over that wonderful Arch of Ctesiphon and approaching the legendary site of the garden of Foden. After this, from Basra on to Bushire, there is a rapid transition from the tropical basin of the river #ystem to the volcanic mountain ranges of Persia. Flying via Lingeh, you reach and alight at Jask. Soon after this you find yourself over Bagdad, "Jewel of the East", and as you glide down you catch a passing glimpse of the golden domes of the Kadâ€"iâ€"Main Mosque, and of the narrow streets and date gardens of the city. Soon your "magiec carpet" has carâ€" ried you over the Sinai desert to Gaza. (On again, fresh wonders greet youâ€" the roundâ€"topped hills of Judah; Eethlehem on your left; and Jerusalem ©n a hill beyond, with an impressive, «wiftlyâ€"glimpsed panorama of the Dead Sea which, it has been said, "looks like the bottom of the world" when viewed from a height of about 5,000 feet. After a brief halt at Le Bourget, the pllot steers for Basle, beautiful views lying belowâ€"a panorama of mighty mountains and fertile valleys. Then the city of Basle, where the Khinoâ€" makes an almost rightâ€"angle turn, is reached. Now, for a brief spell, the airway is deserted for a sleeping car train and you are travelling throughout the nizght to Genoa. At Genoa you ascend and fly down the Italian coast via Naples to Corfu, where you alight that same evening. Early next morning you are on the wing again, steering for Athens and Crete, with wonderful views below, and on above the Mediterranean you alight at Alexandria. Changing again from fiyingâ€"boat to aeroplane, you obtain a fascinating glimpse of Cairo. Taking an armchair seat in one of the powerful Armstrongâ€"Siddeley pasâ€" sengerâ€"planes of Imperial Airways, you ascend and sweep over Kent to the seaâ€"coast, passing swiftly above the Channel on your way to Paris. Passengers bound for India by air assemble on Saturday morning at Airâ€" ways House, London. Then, after passports have been examined and lugâ€" gaze taken charge of by airway portâ€" er«, you are escorted to waiting cars and driven to the air station at Croyâ€" don. By the accelerated timeâ€"schedule which will be in operation this sumâ€" mer, one will ascend from Lordon on Saturday morning and be in India on the following Thursday, having flown 5,000 milles above land and sea, with panoramas which will enthrall you unâ€" folding themselves beneath your outâ€" look window. It seems more like magic than reâ€" ality to be able to leave London on a Saturday morning and to be in Alexâ€" andria on the following Monday; to alight at Bagdad on Tuesday evening; and to reach India by Thursday afterâ€" noon. Yet such apparent miracles as these, the fruit of organization nnd‘ of operating experience, are now being accomplished regularly as a matter of daily routine. | An experience to linger in one‘s memory is to fly as a passenger over the great airâ€"mail route which is operâ€" ated by Imperial Airways between England and India."

Perhaps this saying is true; at any rate the men pictured above performed heroic service to the public because they had, in their spare time, prepared themselves to render first aid to the injured and were ready when the emergency arose. Each man is a member of the staff of the Bell Teleâ€" phone Company of Canada. The Bell Telephone Company provides instruction in first aid for all employees who desire it. Over eighty per cent. of the members of the Plant Department are qualified first aiders.
