Air Travel in Europe.

The time table issued by the Lloyd
Luftdienst. or Air Service, of Bremen
reads like a chapter from JULES
VERNE. 1t offers information con-
cerning all the existing air lines in
Europe and contains map of these
routes which is surprising in the
evidence 1t affords of the growth of
air transportation abroad. There
are now twenty-four companies op-
Grating air services in Europe. They
make landings in fifty cities in Great
Britain, Spain, France, Germany,
Belgium, Holland, Denmark. Sweden,
Switzerland. Poland, Czecho-Slovakia
Austria, Hungary, Russia and Ru-
mania.
Both the map and the names ofthe
companies which appear in the time
table show that Germany is making
strong bid for preeminence in this
field. The London-Paris service is
the best known of the European air
routes and the most developed, but
IT is only one of many. Ten of the
twenty-four companies in Europe are
German companies and half the
routes are in Germany or between
Germany and other countries.
The traveller between London and
Paris can choose among five lines,
three French and two British. The
London-Paris time table compares
favorably with suburban railway
time table In frequency of depart
ures. The first plane leaves London
at o'clock In the morning and the
last at in the afternoon. There are
nine planes each day from London
and eight from Paris. The schedule
calls for a run of from two hours and
fifteen minutes to three hours, and
the fare is 900 francs or co Ga. At

A flower painting by Chao Meng Chen
from the Sung period OF Chinese art has
come into possession of the museum,
being a gift Of Mrs. Anna woerishoffer.
1t Is hung In room II and represents
an esret standing among tat<ered au-
tumn foliage, only few hibiscus
flowers retaining their delicate color in
the raw winds. Both the bird and the
accessories are drawn carefully and the
painting represents a valuable addi-
ton to the Chinese art Of the museum.
Mr.. Pierre l.. lie Brun has enriched
the museum library by the gift OF 753
volumes, most of which have to dsAi
With ancient art, architecture and sculp-

interest to those who do research work
along lines of architectural and indus
trial arts.

Ten Billion Miles a Month.

This country consumed In May
more than 100000 barrels of gaso-
line. This is a matter of some 700,-
100000 gallons.
The American automobile users
and. with more than 100000 regis
tered motors cars, this is a nation
of automobile users--think of gaso-
line in terms of miles. A rather
stiff consumption is ten miles to the
gallon. The vast majority of cars
would not show a record of less than
fifteen miles to the gallon. Flocks
and flocks would give an account of
themselves at twenty miles or better
to the gallon.
Shall we call it an average for all
of fifteen miles to the gallon? Then,
with 700,000,000 gallons of gasoline
consumed in May. there was a usage
In that single month of more than
ten billion gasoline miles In these
United States.

100000 individual motor trips

The American people evidently are
motor tripping-not actually around
the globe but largely around the
block and around the park. Just the
same at ten billion gasoline miles a

Consider corn, the great American
crop on which our 110,000.00 popula-
tion feasts, all the year around, in
the beef and mutton and pork we eat,
the ham and bacon, the poultry and
eggs, even the milk, butter and
cheese, for, as matter of fact, all
those animal foods, with the live
stock fed and fattened on the great
American crop, are really nothing
more than condensed corn.
And consider the man who raises
the corn. Consider his crops in round
numbers at 40 cents a bushel last
year and this year at more than 60
cents bushel.
A bushel Of corn is a good sized
bundle to look at. and it is from
sixty to seventy pounds to throw on
your shoulder and carry. So 20 cents
a bushel Is not lot Of difference to
measure on the particular bushel you
buy or otherwise use. 1t is not much
of anything figured down to the price
Of each ear in bushel. Really moth
ing at all.
But consider crop of approx
mately three billions of bushels Of
corn. Consider the difference to the
men who raise it of 20 cents a
bushel on that American corn crop.
Only difference to the American
corn farmer of about six hundred
millions Of dollars. And on the crop
at go cents a bushel a total selling
price of more than one and three
quarters billions of dollars. Corn.
The American corn farmer is going
to have a few odd pennies to spend
this year. The American market is
going to feel the hoist Of that corn
crop purchasing power-that six hun
dred millions more than last year;
altogether that more than one and
-three-quarters billions of dollars.
Consider corn; consider the man
who raises it when he goes out to
spend some of the coin he gets for it,
Consider the country's business up
lift. From corn.

Gift to Museum for Decorative Art
E. c. Moore Jr, Donates $4,000 and Will Duplicate
Amount Annually for Five Years.

In addition to the gift of 81 .000. 900
recently made to the Metropolitan Mu-
scum by George f. Baker. and the ap-
proprlation of a similar amount from
the city to finish wing X. there now
comes from Edward c. Moore. Jr. a
gift of $4,000. to be- used in the pur-
chase OF articles representing the
modern decorative arts of America and
Europe. This information is contained
in the museums Bulletin, to be issued
to-day.
In making this gift Mr.. Moore gives
to the museum the utmost latitude in
the selection OF objects and imposes no
restrictions which perhaps would ham
per the successful growth Of this col
lection. The gift comes at time when
the museum had planned to give mod
ern decorative art a place in the gall
ieries. and this initial gift. which " to
be duplicated every year for the next
five years. will go far toward insuring
the success Of this new department. Mr..
Moore's bequest also Ia interesting from
the viewpoint that II is a gift from the
second generation. His father. the late
Edward G. Moore. was one OF the earli-

in 1915 the museum was named as

will not only receive the entire sum but
a substantial amount of the accumu-

clearly recall hearing Professor
Jenney say In the editorial room OF the
Denver Tribune that the presence of
limestone on whitewood Creek made
him doubtful Of any gold being there
II being almost an axiom among miners
that limestone and gold are never known
to mix. Well, had Tom Mallory and
Bottsford explored that triangle formed
by whitewood and Deadwood creeks,
instead Of the n,apfhakins topographers,
the history of the Homestako mine would
have been very different. Jenney Just
missed the richest square mile. of gold
bearing rock and gravel yet known IN
America.
BY simply crossing Bare Butte and
Box Elder creeks, two miles further
west, he would have passed by the lime
stone section of whitewood. Mallory and
others would have tapped the shallow
diggings about where the city of Dead
wood now stands. Some years later a
