BRITAIN TO PORNO HIGHWAYS OF PEACE
London.— From • London to Canada
in two and a half' days, to India in
five days, to Capetown in six days, to
Australia in eleven days and to New
Zealand in thirteen days. These were
the possibilities of the air which Sir
See;tel Hoare, British Air Minister,
has submitted to the Imperial Con-
ference.
"There is to -day no technical or
operational reason," Sir Samuel' de-
clared, "why, by •aeroplane or airship,
London should not be brought within •a
fortnight of , the farthest cities • and
territories ,of the Empire, Sir Samuel
devoted himself to civil aviation, and
proposed: the organization of long-
distance Empire air routes beginning
in the Far East and from Australia to
Capetown on the mosaic plan. "We
must," he said, "each of us insert our
particular stone in the design."
His prapesswl, Sir Samuel sstid, in-
volved no subsidy. It involved nothing
more than co-operation between one
•Govern Lent,.ylvd another, and'between
military and civil flying. Sir Samuel
pressed that the Dominions and de-.
peridencies should create sand maintain
landing grounds in good order. He
held that the airship would carry out
the long-distance,' nen-stop air jour-
neys of the future, and. indicated that
two airships were now being built in
England which should, with a normal
load of freight and passengers, be able
to fly without refuelling in good. wea-
ther •a distance of 4,000 miles, There
would. be promenade decks outside the
cables and amp''e smoking and dining
rooms.
The aeroplane and the airship were
reu.dy complementary to each other,
the British Air Minister said. It was
necessary to organise both along lanes
of long-distance flying, the aeroplane
beirng invaluable for short -stage traf-
fic, and .p•articulaely'needled at pres-
ent, when the airship program was
still in the experimental stage.
Sir Samuel pressed that the: Domin-
ions should co-operate in preparing
for airship development. To this end
two things were essential—highly effi-
cient meteorological information and,
the erection of mooring masts.
"In a year's time," Sir SannneI pro-
ceeded, "these two airships should be
completed. It is then proposed to
carry out adequate home trials and
subsequently to fly one of these air-
ships regularly to and from India for
a full period of trial in tropical coun-
tries. When these trials are com-
pleted it
ompeetedit is hoped, if the Dominions; so
desire, to make demonstration flights
to the Capitals of the Empire." Sir
Sanvuel's with was to see a commer-
cial airship line started at the earliest
possible moment between Great Bri-
tain and the Dominions. He further
suggested that before the next Imper-
iavl Conference ;Otero' should be Em-
pire air conference • to discuss develop-
ments.
Premier Stailey Bruce observed
that. flying had developed so:•vouch in
Australia that taking an aeroplane
was now like talaing a taxicab.
THREE KILLED WHEN
TRAIN STRIKES AUTO
Small Hope for Recovery of
Woman Injured in Level
Crossing Crash at Milton.
Milton, Ont.—Three mens were killed
and a woman was seriously injured
when a C.P.R. westbound Toronto=
Guelph passenger train struck a se-
dan at a level crossing about 300 yards
east of the station here at 2.25 Wed=
nesday afternon. The dead are: A. B.
Couch of Montreal, Jesse Kipps of
Hamilton and A. E. Jones of Hamil-
ton, while Mrs. A. E. Jones was very
seriously injured and little hope is
hold out for her recovery.
The sedan, driven by Mr. Jones,
was struck in the centre and carried
along the track for about 200 yards
untie the train came to a stop. The
three men were instantly killed, while
Mrs, Jones, found to be living when
extricated from the wreck, was taken
immediately to Dr. G. A. ICing's resi-
dence here, and later was rushed by
ambulance to the Hamilton General
Hospital, where she lies in a critical
condition.
The men were members of the ere-.'
calve of the Zimmerktvit Knitting
Conrpany•of Hamilton, and, accompan-
' led by Mrs. Jones,' they hud completed
an inspection of the Milton Yard and
Spinning Mills, on the north side of
the G.P.R. tracks, When crossing the
tracks on their return itis supposed
that Mr. Jones' attention had been
drawn by a shunting freight In the
yards and he did not notice the ap-
proach of the passenger train.
A mase of twisted iron and wood,
any part of which could be rifted by
a boy, was all that remained of the
motor car.
Hamilton.—A. B. Couch, president
of the Zimmerknit, Ltd., lived in Mon-
treal. He is said to have been middle-
aged, married, and leaves several
children. Ha came to Hamilton on
Monday to visit the local plant, as he
was accustomed to do from time to
time. Mr. Couch took a keen interest
in the Zimmerknit softball team. He
is said to have been'prominent in busi-
ness circles in Montreal.
Albert E. Jones, who was president
of the Hamilton Hosiery Company, a
sellleg company of the Zimmerknit,
Ltd., lived et 104 Flatt avenue, Ham-
ilton.
Jesse Kipps was superintendent of
the Zimmerknit, Ltd. He was :32 years
of age, and :ivied at 152 Balmoral!
avenue north, Hamilton. Mr. Kipns
was married attd had two young chil-
dron.

The belief that the whole. southern

Natural 'Resources Bulletin,
Many ;people have the °idea that
farming in the'so-called north termper. •
oto attic such as is charaeteristio of
the northern United': States and, Can-
ad's is attended' by climatic''diffictd.I-
ties and ennbarrassments which ' -are„
unknown iri the &iib -tropical areas of
the earth. The Natural Resources In-
tepligence :Sereice of the Delft., of; the
Interior wt Ottawa points out, how-
ever, that the Canadian farmer ea in a
relatively happy position.,' Itis grow-
int season is fairly. well'defiiied. Siis
crops are of a typo that are siifficiont-
ly resistant bo the changes of temper -
attire and wind and, to a less extent, ale
moisfture, as to''leavc hint with com-
paratively few worries during the bulk
of the growing season. 'Moreover,
summer weather in Canada is par
tieuter➢y favorable•to pewit, growth on
aceopot of the unusually long days -of
clear sunsliine, with periodic 'showers.
1't must not be imagined that more
southern districts do not offer definite
problems as to climate, .1n the sub-
tropical belts, favored as.they are fa
many ways as to climate, man fights
against frosts in Ca ifonnia;' has to
prated his crops by were or. hedges
against high winds as in the. Azores,
in Malta and in 'Southam France;
manufactures -artificial, ice inPales-
tine; retards the ripening of. his fruit
under the ening son by screening it,
as in Italy where it is customaey to
cover the lemons with screens of cloth
or rashes, so that they may not ripen
until the summer demand Is at its
height in England and America; is”"
forced to develop ,huge water storage
schemes as in Egypt and -Mesopot-
amia; to fight tropical vegetation and
fevers and oveo'como inefficient -labor
supp:des as in the equatorial regions;
and so on.
Thus it wi'ilbe seen thatevery lati-
tude has its own problems in agricul•
tare, and eyerythin'g being considered,
Canada, with its -wholesome summer. -
sunshine, .,periodic. showers, and its
relative freedom from cyclonic dis-
turbantes, is bountifully blessed by
providehce and wile become increasing-
ly desirable as a land for yagricultural
development due' to the consistency of
her crops, the relatively simple prole. -
leans of cultivation; .the increasing
land. values and the substankiwl re- -a'
turns. _
Modern Faces Lopsided,
Sight Expert Declares
Modern faces are too lopsided to
meet the beauty requirements of the
old masters, says II. I.. Taylor, chair-
man of the British National Council
far the Preservation of Eyesight.
Men, and especially lutellectual men,
are mach more likely, ea his opinion,
to have the right side of the face
more developed than the left side,
This is due to ueing the -right eye ex-
cessively, with the result that it
eventually moves away from the nose
further than the left -.eye.
Modern women also suffer from this
defect, -Mr. Taylor declares. He says
it is rarely that one finds w-enen with
the symmetrical,oval fares painted by
Michael Angelo a•utcl Raphael. Even ia.
Italy these types are not now numer-

George V. Dons. Wrist''
Watch for First Time,
London. -In wearing a wrist watch
for the first time in his life, King
George has stimulated a custom which
was expected to die out after the
Prince of Wales deserted the wrist
time -piece for 'a platinum pocket
watch and chaitn. The King is using
a email square watch mounted in pa-
ktum which is held on his wrist in a
small black strap.
The Prince of Wales for some time
has favored a thin platinum watch
and thin' platinum' chain which he
wears both mornings and evenings,
and his example has been followed by
many young men about town. '
