PROGRESS MADE IN AVIATION
Records Show That the United States
10 More Than Holding lite Own
In Aerial Travel.

During the year 1921 the use Of air
craft for civilian transportation in
creased 20 per cent over the previous
year, according to report forwarded
to the Department Of Commerce by the
Aeronautical Chamber Of Commerce
Of America.
The reports shows that throughout
the country 1900 civilian airplanes
were In operation during the year, and
they carried approximately 275,000
passengers total distance of 6,500,000
miles. These figures, according to the
report, are based upon authenticated
returns received by the aerOnautical
chamber from all sections of the
country "and tend to prove that Ameri-
ca is holding her own In the air, as far
as individual effort and accomplish
ment are concerned,
Every phase Of aviation Is covered
In the report, including the various
records made during the year. Among
the outstanding civilian achievements
is that Of the aerial mail, which "in
1921 made such record for efficiency
on the transcontinental route that 1t Is
recognized as q model for civilian
aerial transport the world over" the
report says. Letters have been de-
livered In New York two days after
casual mailing on the Pacific coast"
II continues. "The service has an av-
erage Of 1882 per cent efficiency, that
Is, in completed trips on scheduled
time since it was st"rted in May. 1913
"The air mail has during the last
year completed its wireless communi-
cation system, the IA stations now
having radio plants, three operated
by the navy department and the others
by the air mail service"

LIBRARIAN MADE GOOD GUESS
Mystified at First, He Finally Real
lied Just What Volume the Lady
Was Looking For.

The recent death of John Kendrick
Bungs has recalled an incident thai
happened recently In one of the branch
libraries. A woman entered one eve,
ming just before closing time and after
wandering aiinlessly 1honf without
finding anything that seemed to please
her. finally came 10 the desk to CON
suit the librarian concerning her need
She said that friend of hers had rec
commended book as being especially
good, and would the librarian please
tell her where 1t was kept. The name
of the book, she said, was "The House
Built on the Sticks
The librarian looked puzzled Visions
Of certain Biblical references to houses
built on the sands came to mind, but
this one was unfamiliar to her, 50 she
set about questioning the woman to
find out more about it, No. the woman
didn't know what II was about, hut
she did remember the authors name,
Bangs Immediately there came an H.
Illuminating idea, and the librarian
went to the shelf and took down Bangs
"Houseboat on the StyX," and sent
satisfied patron home to enjoy her

LAND ADAPTED FOR REINDEER
Could Support Enormous Herds
Of Good Food Cattle.

Canada is roomy land, and its
back region can never be used for
agricultural purposes and where
neither sheep nor cattle can be raised
profitably, comprises about 100000
square miles. If we may accept as
fairly accurate the statement of Alas
ka reindeer men that a reindeer re-
Quires about 80 acres for grazing In
the sub-Arctic and Arctic regions of
North America then Northern Cana
da can support between 30,OO0.000
and 40,O00,000 animals.
Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the Cana
dian explorer, who has been trying
to convert his countrymen to reindeer
culture for several ears and has CIV
en- the subject great deal Of study,
thinks that the Canadian mainland,
north Of the so-called habitable line,
and the great Canadian archipelago
can support 100000 reindeer and
musk-ox, another sub-Arctlc animal
which he thinks may In the near fu-
ture furnish the world with an appre-
ciable supply of good, wholesome
meat.-John @. Holme
