Flights in Europe
Have Few Accidents

London Only six deaths have
been recorded in the last five years
of English commercial aviation. More
than $4,000 passengers were carried
during that time, and about 100000
miles flown.
The English commercial air serv-
ices have had a remarkable growth,
starting with total Of 20 passengers
for 1919 and steadily increasing. Most
of the passenger service was done be-
tween London and Paris, where six
trips are now made daily. The routes
to Berlin, Moscow and Cologne are
now being operated daily and carry on
the average of two passengers. The
freight capacity of the planes is usu-
ally taken several days in advance.
The Imperial Anyways, the national
syndicate, is preparing to add 5000
miles daily service to the 1850 miles
it now operates. The new routes in
clude Zurich-Rome and Madrid.
The price of air travelling has been
reduced from ten to- seven cents a
mile. e.4 49,

Monday evening. The Colonel has

The society editor of The Republi-
can has been out rusticating and has
failed to make any reports. About
the only movements in this line,
however, is picnics, and they are all
one-sided affairs. First the men
will get themselves together and HE
themselves off to the Muddy, to the
Slavery, or to- Battle Lake on a fish
ing excursion of ten days or two
duration. Occasionally a crowd
of them goes down to the Platte on
Sunday just for a little recreation
you know, and all this time the
ladies', bless their souls, remain at
home contented and vie with each
other as to who can appear on the
streets OF an evening wearing the
best laundried white dress, or one
with the most frills and Fuckers in
1t. Then the ladies 60 off to the
Platte all by themselves-not a
fishing of course. for whoever heard
of a lady catching a fish, or a man
when a woman vas within a
half mile of him? They take their
demijohns, which OF course are al
ways filled with nice fresh milk or
cold tea; they go out with the in
of staying two weeks and
invariably return at the close of the
second day-the cold tea(?) is all
gone and some n of the party gets
the headache. thus the long and
pleasant outing is brought to a
end. The hot weather will
soon be over and balls, parties and
chautauQuas will take the place of
picnics and outings, and everybody
will be glad.
