One's view cov- ers such a wire area of pygmy build- ings clustering around and intersected by white ribbons of roadways and long,. nar'r'ow, gleciniog lines of railway tracks. The earth is one large color scheme, in which the blue of the rivers and lakes, Lhe green of the fi'clds and •npen spaces and the gray of the plowed and cultivated land predominate, splashed here and there with the red and white and black of the villages and towns. After an altitude of 2,100 feet has been reached the whole surface is per fectly flat in appearance, hill and dale being of the same level. This matter of indistinguishable contour is one of the greatest existent clangers to aerial naylgation and goes far' to minify the good effects of the altimeter, as that instrument only records height above sea level. Thus a pilot flying across country may encounter a range of Hills 1,000 feet in height and find himself liable at any moment to run into some high point with his altimeter recording 2,000 feet, as in point of fact he is, above sea level. Thus the differences in altitude of the surface of the earth present the same danger and the same risk to the pilot of the air as do the rocks and shoals In the bosom of the ocean to the navigator of the seas. When a pilot bas lost his way In either fog or cloud there is a tendency for the machine to fly in a circular di- reetion and always. to tho right baud. Another danger which presents itself at a low altitude is the "bump” or patch of rarefied air, the immediate effect of which is to make the plane either drop, plunge or clip on either. side. The drop is often considerable, and pilots have reported drops of as much as 200 feet ata time. Climbing higher to between 3,000 and 10,000 feet, clouds are encountered, and these are, if anything, more dan- gerous than the "bump." Once in a cloud, an aeroplane behaves much in the same way as a ship on a stormy sen, and should it get into' a "nose dive" wben in a cloud it very rarely recovers its equilibrium, and the result is usually fatal. A pilot when engaged on a long cross country flight before leaving the ground draws a line on his map from the point of departure to the point at which he intends to alight, mentally noting any prominent objects which will reveal themselves en route. - Towns and pillages are 'naturally the most prominent features in the. topog- raphy of the earth.

TO OUR READERS : It is a very well-known fact thatpaper, ink, type, indeed everything which goes into the make-up of a newspaper, has gorse up very materially in price during the last two years. So serious has become the situation that nearly all the daily papers have raised the price of subscription and many of the•local weeklies also have found it necessary to raise the price of a year's subscription from One Dollar - to One Dollar and Fifty Cents. The publisher of The News -Record is desirous of leaving the subscription price at the old figare, but in order to make such a line of action possible it will be necessary for our subscribers to show their loyalty to the paper by bringing or sending in their subscriptions promptly. All arrears must be paid, and every subscription should read one year in advance by the end of 1916. This Rould give The News -Record confidence as showing that its many readers appreciate our e$orts to supply a live, newsy weekly paper at the old price. 13 TO INVESTORS THOSE WHO, FROM TIME TO TIME, HAVE FUNDS REQUIRING INVESTMENT MAY PURCHASE AT PAR DOMINION OF CANADA DEBENTURE STOCK IN SUMS OF $500, OR ANY MULTIPLE THEREOF Principal repayable 1st October, 1019. and co erb 1 .A, April 1st0 tb Interest payable half -yearly, 1st pY cheque (free of exchange at any chartered Bank in Canada) at ehe%rate of five per cent per annum from the date of purchase.

Not alone, as long as the people whose battles her husband is fighting have -a heart in their bosoms or a dollar in their pockets. ,Not alone—as long as Canadian manhood and womanhood knows the meaning of the word "trust" Not alone, as long as Generosity is the hand maiden of Duty and Privilege. Only an appreciation of the need is required by those of us who here at home keep the hearth fires burning. Not for some of us the supreme sacrifice, but for one and all of us at least that whole -hearted answer to the cry of patri- otism that never yet has failed to go ringing around the world when the call has come.

TO OUR READERS : It is a very well-known fact thatpaper, ink, type, indeed everything which goes into the make-up of a newspaper, has gorse up very materially in price during the last two years. So serious has become the situation that nearly all the daily papers have raised the price of subscription and many of the•local weeklies also have found it necessary to raise the price of a year's subscription from One Dollar - to One Dollar and Fifty Cents. The publisher of The News -Record is desirous of leaving the subscription price at the old figare, but in order to make such a line of action possible it will be necessary for our subscribers to show their loyalty to the paper by bringing or sending in their subscriptions promptly. All arrears must be paid, and every subscription should read one year in advance by the end of 1916. This Rould give The News -Record confidence as showing that its many readers appreciate our e$orts to supply a live, newsy weekly paper at the old price. 13 TO INVESTORS THOSE WHO, FROM TIME TO TIME, HAVE FUNDS REQUIRING INVESTMENT MAY PURCHASE AT PAR DOMINION OF CANADA DEBENTURE STOCK IN SUMS OF $500, OR ANY MULTIPLE THEREOF Principal repayable 1st October, 1019. and co erb 1 .A, April 1st0 tb Interest payable half -yearly, 1st pY cheque (free of exchange at any chartered Bank in Canada) at ehe%rate of five per cent per annum from the date of purchase.
