WITH OUR 0' N, CANADIAN AVIATORS ..,.....r�.69....117M2 elitl11.-:-,1..--,-.--Z-- 3..1_.11. ----- wt ,4Y c2 It is gratifying to learn from West ern Canadian companies that where- as, in the past, young men from the Prairies had to go to the United States for aviation training, there aro now schools to develop their learnings towards flying, and com- panies to employ them, right in Can- ada. Dominion Airways Ltd., Vancou- ver, B. C., has purchased a new Del Haviland Moth seaplane, "G -Cans," for operation in and around Van- couver. The company has signed a forest protection agreement with the Department of Lands of British Col- umbia, and the machine will proceed to its base at Nelson for throe weeks operations, commencing June 19th. S• Patricia Airways Ltd., Sioux Look Out, Ont., concluded its winter fly- ing program on April 28, and is now busily engaged in fitting its machines with pontoons, as well as rebuilding its boats, etc, The Patricia fleet will be considerably augmented for the summer work, and the business of building runways, floating docks, and of moving workshops, etc„ is proceeding apace. While plans are being made for the lighting of the government's air- way along the south shore of the St. Lawrence, froi St. Hubert, Aero- drome to a point near Levis, P.Q., it is learned on the best of authority that this, the first lighted airway in Canada, will not be permanent. It is the intention of air officials to ex- periment xperiment with great beacon lights on movable bases. They may even be placed on trucks, and tests will be made as to the most economical and effective use of the beacons. One of the lights will be much larger than the others. This will be posted temporarily about half way to Que- bec. Others will light the night route at intervals of 55 miles or less. The government makes it clear that licensed hotels will not be allow- ed to operate on its aerodromes or on government property near land- ing fields, ';� e , es f. Aerodromesin process of con- struction by the government have given rise to considerable land spec- ulation in the vicinities in which they are being located. It is understood that houeful gentlemen in (Quebec plan a large hotel—with a license, of course— in close proximity to St. Ilubert's, Montreal. :• The town of I{amloops, B. C., has recently learned with much gratifica- tion of a splendid report on landing facilities in the neighborhood of the town prepared by an air force official of the Dominion of National De- fence, and looks forward eargerly to the time when flying will centre there. Many other Canadian cities have taken keen interest in aviation Viand not the least enthusiastic are the western cities. V When Capt. Alfred Loewenstein, reputed to be the third richest man in the world, arrived in Ottawa in his triple -motored monoplane recently, he rewarded two newspaper men with a $100 bill for organizing transport- ation facilities into the Capital, five miles from the landing field, and for atrang(ng for police protection for his valuable 'plane during his one- night stay there as guest of Premier ' W. L. Mackenzie I{ing. The machine was the largest the Capital City has ever seen. The first two students of the avia- tion instruction department of Dom- inion Airways Ltd., Vancouver, B.C., passed their Canadian Air Board tests for air engineer license at the end of April. They were C. R. Dob- bin anti P. A. Hainstock, of Landis, ' Sask.

J, V. Elliott, of Hamilton, Ont., where he operates the well-known flying school bears his name. is a fre- quent visitor to headquarters of the Department of National Defence- (Aar efence(Aim Services). "Jack" is constant- ly on the look -out for new planes and was anxious to learn recently what would become of the big 'plane at I present being used by Capt. •Loewen- stein when the millionaire leaves this country for Europe. It is rumored, Capt. Loewenstein will dispose of the tri -motored Fokker fora sunt in the neighborhood of $70,000, Now that air mail and ail' ,express service . between Lower St. Lawren- re points and Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto, are established facts on a Weds far more certain than experi- mental, all eyes are turning towards cities farther removed from the steamer lanes. It is considered to be merely a matter of time before Winnipeg is linked up with St. Law- rence ports and is having its mails both easterly and westerly bound, speeded up by days in both direct- ions. After Winnipeg there will be more and more extensions until mails from. steamers from the Orient dock- ing in Vancouver Harbor will be rushed by air across Canada to out- going steamers in the Gulf, and the Far East will be brought nearer still. At time of writing Canada would appear to be the intended destination of another trans-Atlantic flight. Captain R. L. Courtney, who made an unsuccessful attempt to fly the ocean via the Azores en a Dornier Whale machine a few years ago, has been in Canada and has developed plans for another attempt at the flight. In recent letters to Major- General J. H. Macl3rien, chairman of the Aviation League of Canada., Courtney asked advice regarding his route on this side of the Atlantic, in the event of a successful ocean flight. General MacBrien wrote to advise him to matte. Halifax, N. S., his first port of call. From that point on- wards, the letter suggested the flight should pass Montreal, Ottawa, Win- nipeg and the prairies cities, right to the Pacific coast. Thus Courtney would accomplish a cross -ocean and cross -Canada flight at one and the same time. The second part of the journey would not, of course, be a non-stop. On this return east, whether it is in Canada or the United States, he would be sure of a stimr- ing welcome if he made the dual trip. Moose Jaw, Sask., inaugurated its new airport on May 4, with the ar- rival there of the first light airplane to reach the province of Saskatchew- an. The machine, a DeHaviland Moth, powered by a Cirrus engine, was flown by John Bythel, instructor f the newly formed Saskatoon Aero Club, and had as a passenger L. A. mith, another member of the same Club. The westerners are already show - ng those of us from down east the eadership in aviation. At the meet - ng of the Aviatino League of Can - da in Ottawa in January last, many ertinent points wore brought out by he delegates from Winnipeg, Re - inn,. Saskatoon, Calgary and other oints out where Hien-ar-men, and, oo, where men are apparently going e be flyers as well.

In the mid die of the discussion Sylvia entered but the discussion had grown so heat ed that It did not stop. Sylvia under stood its purport at once, turned walked out; and never went back. That was how she came to leave Henry Cowie. And now she wondered whether it would be necessary to men- tion him as a reference. She answered the advertisement, and on the following day received a letter asking her to call at a house In the suburbs. Sylvia went. A pleasant -looking woman met her at the door. "Can you cook a good plain dinner?" Mrs. Chambers asked. "I suppose I could," said Sylvia, stniling. "1 did not know I was to live here," she said. "Does Mr. Chambers want me to go to town with him every morning?" Mrs. Chambers stared at her, then laughed. "Not If I know it," she answered. "You are a queer girl, Now come along and let us get the mutton into the oven. Alphonse Is bringing a friend home with )him, That is what he Is always doing, and without the slightest warning. Well, I guess we have enough food In the house, hitt I don't know what I should have done without you." Three-quarters of an hour later the dinner was done, and almost simul- taneously there came a ring at the front doer, "'There's Alphonse," said Mrs. Cham- bers. "I suppose he has left his key at the ofnce again. Really, leen are very trying:" Then a new thought came to Sylvia. Mrs. Chambers 10118, perhaps, of a jealous nature. Perhaps that was why Mr, Chambers had left her to select the secretary. Five minutes precisely after Mrs. Chambers had departed Sylvia, carry- ing a tray loaded with dishes, plates and a large platter on widen the leg of mutton reposed in a pond of gravy, made her appearance in the dining room. Then she perceived, seated at the table, Mr. and Mrs. Chambers, and—Harry Cowie. "Sylvia," he cried triumphantly. "Harry!" shouted Air. Chambers, "'hat is the matter? Have you gone crazy?" "No," answered Harry, "not now. I have been insane, almost, trying to lo- cate miss Latham, since she ran away from us three weeks ago.

THE RULES OF THE ROAD Two statements rcc•ently matte by nn#1 I Ontario judges, and given wide �'• ' c•ulation apart .from their context n, are likely, when quoted in that way, to cenvey au entirely wrong idea of y the rules which go V,•1'11 motor tray - 1, tic is this province. One statement 83118 to the effect If that there is no right of way in the e, presence o1' danger; the other, that r1- there is no right or wrong side of the ch road. Neither asesrtion was meant y to convey the impression that mater e drivers can proceed et will upon the. n public highways, regardless of • re - 'e sults to themselves or others. The 'n' very opposite Is the case. The Iligh- a7 way Traffic Act explicitly elicit) Y sets forth the rules which must be followed. rl In one sense, it is true that there c,• is 00 right of way in the presence of danger. That les a motorist is not justified in driving carelessly at an intersection and speeding through regardless of consequences just be- cause the traffic is on his left. It is luso true in a general sense that there is no right or wrong side of the I. road. When no other vehicle is ap- proaching, and no pedestrians in e now. Father says he wants you as much as I do. Yes, Mrs, Chambers, of course, i have met Sylvia before, Why --see more, Alphonse, Miss Lath- am and 1 have been engaged fur mouths." "Well, you certainly will enjoy your meals if you marry a cook," said Mrs. Chambers witheringly, "Cook? She's a splendid wok," said Illtrry. "That is—eh? What do you mean by that, Hits. steadiers? Sylvia Isn't a cook, Sylvia, dearest, you aren't a cook are you?" "I thought I was a ;Ovate secre- tary," said Sylvia, in tears. "But it seems )hat I'm a cook now. Oh, let me go, 'Harry I" "Didn't you answer sly advertise- ment for a cools?" demanded Mrs. Chambers of the girl, But before Syl- via could reply Alphonse Chambers brought Itis 1151 clown with rl jar that set the glasses dancing upon the table, "I see it new l" he yolk, "Harry, they must have mixed the advertise- ments at the newspaper office." Mrs, Chambers got ul, from the table, walked to Sylvia, and drew her into her arms. m sorry, my dela'," she whispered, caressing her. "I think you will Matte a splendid wife for harry.

On rough roads, he will sometimes find the so-called "wrong" side the best. But as coon as.nlore than one vehicle is involved, a definite set of rules come into force, andthese have not been sus- pended by anything which judges may have said as to right of way or right side of the road. They are here summarized from the Highway Traffic Act. where they appear in more extended form: 1. When two vehicles approach an intersection at the same time, the one to the right of the other shall have the right of way. 2. When two vehicles are meet- ing, each shall turn out to the right from the centre of the road so as to allow half the road to each. 3. When one vehicle overtakes another, the vehicle so overtaken shall quietly turn out to the right and allow the other to pass. 4. In that case, the vehicle pass- ing shall turn out to the left to avoid hitting that which is being passed, and the vehicle overtaken shall not be required to leave more than half the road free. 5. But, in any of these cases, if either vehicles cannot, by reason of it. load, turn out, it shall stop, and. if required to do se, its driver shall assist the other driver to get past safely. 6. No vehicle shall attempt to pass another going in the sante dir- ection unless and until the travelled ( portion of the highway in front of and to the left of the vehicle to be passed is safely free from approach- ing traffic. The principle underlying these re- gulations is that motorists who meet or pass must, as far as possible. share the road on a fifty-fifty basis, and that 'a motorist who wishes to pass another must choose a time when no third vehicle coming in the opposite direction makes the operation un- safe.
