From London to New York in Thirty Hours by Aeroplane. Many people are wondering what our aviators will do when peace is signqd. This question is answered in Hodder & Stoughton’s new publica- tion. “The British Aircraft Industry," Where it is suggested that flying will in the future become of paramount importance, not in war, but in com~ merce, pleasure, and sport. Two miles a minute is quite an ordinary flying speed to-day. To-mor~ row we shall be flashing through the sky at one hundred and eighty miles an hour. A return trip 'to New York from London will be accomplished in two and a half days, instead of ten, or to Singapore in a week. If you leave London early on Mon- day, you will be able to descend in either Sydney or HongKong late on Friday. Such trips sound like fairy tales, but they are based upon sound scien- tific formulas. Probably an aerial postal service will be the first prac- tical innovation. Before long, how- evln', two services are predicted which will compete with trains and ships. The first will be fast aerial mailâ€"car- riers and passenger service, with an average night and day speed of one hundred miles per hour. The second will be a. slow ('3) passenger service, running during the day only. at an average speed of eighty miles an hour. A striking table has been drawn up to show the difference between the capacities of the flying machine of the futurewnd the other means of transit. It relates to the comparative distances in a twenty-four hours day. Road lorry, 120 miles; cargo steam. er, 240 miles; goods train, 360 miles; mail steamer, 360 miles; motor car, 480 miles; express train, 960 miles; flying machine, 2,400 miles. In regard to cost, aerial travelling for a long while will be expensive, and the commercial man will use the air to save time rather than money. But as time in business means money, he will, of course, stand to win in the end. To carry a ton a mile may work out at HE apnoint- men! of Lt.- Col. G.

R. to the British Govern- ment, for whom he acted as As- sistant Director of Transport dur- ing the last three years of the war. “G. McL.," as he is popularly known, both in Canada and the Old Country. is the son of Adam Brown of Hamil- ton, Ontario. and was born in 1865. In I887 he was appointed agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway at Vancouver, pro- :noted five years ater to be Asst. . General Passen.

George McLaren Brown, says a friend writing in the “Monirral Gazette,"lis one of those rare men whose friendships are equal to the num- ber of their acquaintances. To all in that wide circle the announcement of the new honor which has been conferred upon him comes as pleasant and very welcome news. it is a recognition of qualities and services which they all know him to possess and to have rendered. The reputation which he enjoyed ‘in Canada, not alone in the railway world, has been enhanced in proportion to his larger opportunities as European Manager of the Cana- dian Pacific Railway in London. and the value of his service in the organi< zation and direction of troop transportation during the war can hardly be overstated.’ it was as successful as it was onerous. and although given with no other thought than that of duty, was none the less deserving of recog- nition now accorded. It was but one. if the chief of his war activities, which were in fact as varied as were the demands upon his help and counsel. In all this McLaren Brown has been true in both impulse and action to the stock of which he comes. Similar impulses, finding similar expression having regard to place and circumstances. have characterized the long and honorable career of Adam Brown, his father, now and for many years pest- master at Hamilton. Active and successful in commercial life, a. pioneer in railway development, and one of the fathers of the National Policy. Adam Brown at ninety-six, is still young in spirit. giving largely of his time and substance in philanthropy. and to the support of war relief organizations. As is the father, so Is ‘the son. strong in his undertakings and, withal a though“ng kindly gentleman. SHIP ' m RAW YOU! to us, no matter wha pay the highest prfic charges.

Pasâ€" senger traffic may be cheaper. “It is not very easy,” says the author of these predictions, “to forecast what fares will be by flying machine, but as an estimate it would appear that from ten to twenty cents a mile, ac- cording to the lengths of the route, would be about the figure.” Hospital records show that every time you cut a corn you invite lock- jaw or blood poison, which is needless, says 3. Cincinnati authority, who tells you that a quarter ounce of a drug called freezone can be obtained at lit- tle cost from the drug store but is suf- ficient to rid one’s feet of every hard or soft corn or callus.

You simply apply a few drops of freezone on a tender, aching corn and soreness is instanfly relieved. Short. ly the entire corn can be lifted out, root and all, wjthout pain. This drug ifsticky but dries at once and is claimed to just shrivel up any corn without inflaming or even irri- tating the surrounding tissue or skin.
