Zepps Freely Used.
Zeppelins, as we'll as airplanes,
have been used extensively for
commercial purposes in Germany.
Although little is known of German
aviation development during the
past few months, it is, reported that
several long air routes, including
one from Berlin to London via
Paris or Brussels, and another from
Berlin to Constantinople, via Wen
ma, will be put into operation dur
ing the coming year.
Commercial aerial service has
been put into operation between
johannesburg and Cape Town,
South Africa. Australia already has
established a transcontinental route
from Sydney to Port Darwin on the
north coast, distance of ESQ
miles. Experimental commercial
aerial journeys of more than 1000
miles also have been made from
Calcutta to other points of India
and regular routes are now under
consideration.
Plan to Circle World.
A British company was organ
lied last June with a capital OF many
millions of dollars for the establish
ment of ,airship lines virtually around
the earth. Airships of 100000 cubic
feet capacity, nearly twice as large
as the British dirigible R-34, the first
lighter than air craft to cross the
Atlantic, are contemplated. These
airships would be able to carry IS
tons of passengers and freight and
have a cruising radius of 4,500 miles
at a speed of 90 miles an hour.
A route from London to New York
will be the rst to be put into opera

"No, 1t doesn't" declared Peggy,

see he sent me something better than
pansies; he sent me a poem all about
clovers:
"'The clover blossoms kiss her feet.
She is SO sweet,
And /, who may not kiss her hand.
Bless all the wild flowers in the land"
"Now 1 think that is better than
pansies. and, of course, as he could
not get real flowers in the winter. he
sent artificial ones. So I think he's a
man of sentiment; and it's sentiment I
want"

she certainly had got what she want
