Here are some more along the same
line. In 1919 there were four French
companies. which carried 65S pas
sengers and made sss voyages, cover
ing a distance equal to about seven
trips around the world. BY 1920 the
companies had doubled the number
They made about 2.400 trips and flew
more than 100000 miles or over twice
the distance from the earth to the
moon. During that year we more
than doubled the number Of passen-
gers and had seven times the amount
Of freight. The results Of 1921 were
even more remarkable. We then had
nine companies. which made over
5000 trips and covered more than
100000 miles. This is equa! to six
flights to the moon or sixty around
the globe at the equator. The num-
bers of our pilots and mechanics

IT is said that in tho northern part
Of New Guinea there are butter
lilies SO large that the natives hunt
hem with the bow and arrow. They
belong to the species Troides china

largest, but among the rarest butter
flies in the world. Some specimens
measure eleven and one-half inches
across the wings.
The males, which are very shy. are

the day and at the tops OF lofty
blossom bearing trees. Tho natives
sometimes shoot the butterflies with
four-pronged arrows. and sometimes
capture them In nets made Of spiders

twenty years in New Guinea hunting

"A white Africa" may sound like an
anomaly, but it is a great and popu-
lar slogen. Mr.. Koningmacher points
out. This is hard for people in
America to understand, with negro
organizations in New York gathering
petitions and endeavoring to make ar
rangements through the league OF ma
tions for a home for their race.
THE recent strike will illustrate"
said Mr.. Koningmacher. THE ques-
tion was raised when the white man
came in and, disliking to do the hard

do as much more and as well as the

the white man should be paid so much
more for doing very little.
where Mr.. Koningmacher opened q

BILE over the same question. Here
natives were brought in to work the
mines.
= With the last outpost Of civilization
succumbing to such effete things as
strikes and riots and racial questions,
one can't help but wonder. According
to Mr.. Koningmacher, there Is q grow.
ing plan to place the natives on
reservations very much as the Indians
are In this country. In southeastern
Africa there seems to be q place for
them where they are but little
molested.
Returning to the question Of rail-
roads and modern development, Mr..
Koningmacher told Of the well built
native houses called huts, but they
are not well described by that term
in this country. Government men
have built the finest kind Of modern
homes away up toward the center Of
the country. To see certain popular
makes Of motor cars Is not considered

4 MISSIONARIES are beginning to
1Vl cover the country, explained Mr..
koningmacher. For the Adventist
denomination in the last year four
teen schools were begun in the Nyas-
saland. The Dutch Reformed Church
was very active also.
Mrs. Koningmacher, who is with
him. and their son Robert, who is
about twelve years old. were anxious
to impress it upon people that Africa
was catching up in modern things.
Some people," he said. think that
Africa is all jungles-that it is all
wild-but that is certainly not SO.
Some parts Of it-many parts-are
as beautiful and lovely as Takoma
Park, right here in Washington.
Some people think there Is nothing
but jungles, snakes and wild beasts

anything up. Women are safer in

In 1920 the freight had increased 700
