Faith IN aviation is spreading but the Standard
Oil Company Indiana) believes it would be more
contagious if the growing safety Of routine air
transport was known better.
Here are few facts about regulated commercial
flying here and abroad that are worthy of con-
sideration-
American mail planes flew 3,r08 TO miles with
out casualty in the fourteen months from Febru-
airy IL, 1926 to April q, 1927.
Fifty German air lines few-3, 814 600 miles last
year. carrying 56269 passengers.
The Imperial Anyways, Ltd, and its predecessors,
rave flown more than 100000 miles IN seven
years and carried some rs, 900 passengers
Air freight from London to Paris is insured IN
England at 2 shllings per 100 pound sterling.
Insurance on the same freight by surface transport
costs Shillings and eight pence
Pioneer days m aviation are past No longer do
men say cit can't be done" They speculate upon
how long it will be before we all will be flying.

This machine is put on the market for
home use and is claimed to be fool
proof and perfectly harmless. Have
used one with great success on wart
and am now using it for internal
pains, backache and piles"
Reply
In the hands Of an intelligent per-
son who follows directions carefully
such an instrument is doubtless en-
tirely safe. The danger is such con-
trivances is this: The manufacturers
usually claim too much for their pro-
duct and people are led to use it for
conditions that are not amenable to
treatment by such a method. They
are told to use it for such and such a
condition, and believing they have
such and such they employ the ma
chine.
Their diagnosis may, however, be
wrong and as result they either do
actual harm, or valuable time is lost
fooling with something until it is too
late to effect cure by a measure
that should have been used in the
first place. You say you treated a

good. But suppose that had not been a

Petit Fours for Your May Party
| am not French scholar, but like
other "would be's and arents'" l like
to slip French word off my tongue
to Please myself, though no one else
may comprehend my pronunciation.
Just what petit tours are, perhaps
only the French epicurean can tell.
But in our country they are generally
considered as tiny cakes gally adorn-
ed with colored frosting.
Let it not matter what you call
them, petit TOURS, or French pastry,
we must have week cakes for a May
party And May party-one must
have a May party, if it is the only
festivity in the year. There is no
other month so charming.
Let the petit tours be your own,
mixed in your own kitchen, baked in
your own ooven and decorated by
yourself to your own taste. Then you
will have the exquisite delight which
the fancy baker knows in creating
beauty, for these little cakes may be
as artistic as your hand and eye will
admit. Ergo.
One big cake is baked in sheet,
and the little cakes cut from it and
ornamented. A common butter cake
may be used, although the sponge
cakes are less arumbly. Following
are two rules which are particularly

moist, tender and fine grained. The

CANADIAN GLACIERS
SLOWLY RETREATINC

more are being felt today at the
tongues of the great glaciers in the
Canadian Rockies. The Smithsonian
institution has just published an &C.
count Of the Lyell and Freshfield
glaciers written by j. Monroe Thor
ington, in which further proof that
the frozen streams of the Canadian
Rockies are definitely in a cycle of
retreat is presented. By comparison
with measurements Of the Lyell gla-
cier made in 1858, DR.. Thorington
found in 1926 that it's tongue had re-
coded $40 yards, an average of five
yards annually. Since 1922 the tongue
of the Freshfield glacier has with
drawn ITO yards, an average of %
yards year.
This confirms observations on other
glaciers showing that recession has
been much greater in recent years.
Fakes $50 Years to See It
This pronounced retreat of glacial
tongues at the present time is be-
lieved to indicate mild weather and
decreasdl snowfall at the ice field
which feeds the glacier, a century and
a half or more ago, as we'll as at the
present time. For the ice streams
flow at rate of less than 100 feet
a year and consequently it would
take $50 years for an effect to trans
nit itself from the ice field to the
tongue of a three-mile glacier. When
shortage of ice supply meets a
warm sun, rapid recession of the
tongue is caused.
On a previous visit to the Fresh
field glacier in 1922, DR.. Thorington's
party placed a series of stones on the
ice, 1880 yards above the end of the
glacier, along a triangular line,
marking their position by a suitable
fixed object at the side of the gla-
cier. He reports an average advance
of the line of stones of $50 feet in
four years.
DR.. Thorington noticed a curious
phenomenon in the orientation of
giant bowlder riding on the ice pack.
This bowlder had swung nearly 80 de-
grees in four years. Because of its
absorption of heat rays, the ice be-
meath it is not melted equally with
the surrounding ice, so that the
bowlder is constantly being left on
an ice pedestal until the pedestal be-
comes so high that the sun can get
at it to cut through. The direction
of flow of the glacier is northeast, SO
that the boWlder tends to fall in that
direction. At the same time, however,
the main effect of the suns rays is
exerted on the south, underwriting
that section of the pedestal most, a
fact which inclines the powder to
fall in a southerly direction. The ac-
ton Of these two forces turns the
bowlder in a counter -clockwise direc-
