ment. Note the history Of Spain in the
100 years preceding the arrival Of the
first Charles from Flanders.
The flag of the new republic Is red,
purple and yellow-Same as that of the
1873 republic.
A Catalan republic was proclaimed on
the 14th, but the fear of friction thus
suggested has been at least temporarily
dissipated by a declaration by its pro-
visional President to the effect that he
had assumed Office Professionally under
Senior Zamora as head Of the federated
Spanish republic; that Catalonia would
be a member of that federation"
Alfonso is As years old and reigned %
years. So the King didn't really abdi-
cate; not in set terms, not literally. IN
stead of formal instrument of abdica-
ton, he issued a manifesto which con-
tains the following interesting state
ments: IT do not renounce any OF my
rights, because they are more than
mine-they are the accumulated store
of history and shall one day have to
make a rigorous accounting Of their
conservation. am waiting to learn the
real expression of the collective opinion
of my people and while I am waiting
until the nation shall speak, I am de-
liberatedly suspending the exercise Of
the royal power and am leaving Spain. /"
Let us miss none Of the "values" in
this extraordinary episode. I note that
a statement given out by Senior Zamora
contains the following: THE republic
will acknowledge the existence of syn
dical and corporate institutions which
will form the basis of the new social
order"

IONDON.-In telephone density"
Great Britain stands today tenth among
the nations, despite the fact that the
British postmaster general, Maj. Atlee,
has recently told the House Of Commons
that IN 1880 the increase in telephone
installations here was 10 times as rapid
as that in the United States, where
there are 100 telephones for every 1907
600 Of the population, as compared with
only ~ in Great Britain.
He was informed by some other men,
bers that it was intolerable that this
country should be so far down IN the
list. and it was advised that the tele-
phone service should be taken from the
control of the post Office and placed
under the supervision of an expert
commission. Among the countries be-
sides the United States which leave
Britain far behind are Canada, New
Zealand, Switzerland and Germany.
But it Is doubtful whether in any Of
these countries more specific directions
are given as to how to use the telephone.
The person who fumes over wrong num-
beers and the operators Sorry you have
been troubled" will find a mine Of in
formation in the early pages Of the
telephone directory, with specific en-
phasis laid on the necessity for speak
ing clearly and directly into the trans
mitter.
There is, for instance, warning that
the distinctive sounds OF conSonantS
become blurred in the transmission of
speech by telephone, and words con-
tanning the same vowels are apt to
sound alike"
In teiephoning figures it is advised
that the figure "3" should be pro-
nounced "thr-r-ree," with rolling "r''
ana long &C." Also that 80" should be
pronounced "foer," one syllable, with
long 20" While "5" should be fife"
and "7" "sev-en 1.-TWO syllables).
Also under the heading of Phonetic
Similarity" instructions are given re-
garding the correct way of telephoning
names or words, or how letters or words
can be verified by analogy.
Thus "a" is for Alfred" mayhap the
King who burned the cakes; "B" for
BENJAMIN" and Co for Charlie" The
rule makers did not have one Charlie

BY. LIEUT.. LESTER J. MAITLAND.

"A n AN will be able to fly great dis
M tances, at tremendous attitudes
!" and with unheard-of speed, as
soon as he can train his body,
his nerves and his eyes to take
advantage of the machinery engineering
genius will put at his disposal.
This is my answer TO the three queS-
tions of how fast?-how high?-how
soon?-that are continually being asked
by every person remotely interested in
aviation.
How soon the human machine can
be trained along these lines still re-
mains to be seen. In the light of the
achievements of our present-day flyers,
I would say that the day is not far off.
Many records have been broken IN
recent years. Planes have climbed dis
tances into the skies hitherto believed
impossible. Over 10000 feet above the
earth, man-made machines piloted by
human eagles have SCARED and come
down safely.
A plane piloted by Squadron Leader
OrIebar of the Royal Air Force has
rushed through the air at a speed OF
more than $50 miles an hour. And
the feat of remaining in the air Tor
weeks at a time has passed into the
realm of the usual.
Future In Experiments
And to the public asking Just how
such records affect commercial avla-
ton my answer is: The whole future
of commercial flying is bound up in
these experiments.
The machinery that has so lightened
the work of the farmer was achieved
through experimentation. The automo-
biles that now travel at so swift pace
over our roads came from the first I'M
certain gasoline buggy" after years OF
hard, grueling tests.
Just so the airplane of the future will
emerge from its present adoleScent
stage into thing Of now undreamed
perfection.
Nothing is impossible in connection
with airplanes Twenty-Five years ago
the thought of man flying in heavier
than-air craft was regarded as rtdicu-
lous. And yet, look what man has ac-
compliShed.
He has not only learned to keep him
self aloft, but has been able TO ny
oceans, conquer all sorts of hazards
and even carry on successful warfare
from the clouds.
What, then, can we not accomplish
in the same amount of time in the
future?
Progress Unlimited.
We can only judge the possibility OF
future accomplishments in the light
of past ones, and, taking the last
twenty-five years Of progress as stand
ard, the vista that opens out before
students Of aviation is practically UNI
limited in its scope of possibilities and
probabilities.
Think of arising at a fairly early

Goodbye, Mosquitoes.
Fairbanks News Miner )


 No more cheering news has been received for some time, venture to say, than that steps are to be taken to eradicate that pest of Interior Alaska summers the mosquitoes.
 To those who have fought off clouds of the in- sects in the woods and who have been prey to the mosquitoes stnging dart in their homes the campaign may seem hopeless
 But mosquitoes have been stamped out under conditions than will be encountered here Once it learned in tropical countries they were the carriers of disease germs there let-up until they had been stamped out, at least in the ters of population. If that be done, there is no reason why mosquitoes should be tolerated here merely because they not germ carriers.
 The United States Bureau of Entomology is going to start the battle this summer. The De- investigators here by the Fairbanks Exploration Company which appropriated funds for the work. The Fairbanks Exploration Company deserves the unstinted thanks of this community for pushing this project.
 Provided enough interest is shown the work will be carried forward next summer, we'll this one. letter wire to the Secretary of Agricul- ture at Washington, D. O.. will manifest that in terest. Such communications should be sent at the earliest possible date
 The city should cooperate by seeing that prop erty owners cut down brush and grass and keep it cut And an allotment for oil to cover stagnant ponds would not be amss.

MRS. WHITELAW REID WAS INTER-
 ESTED IN JUNEAU MINE.

Mrs Whiteaw Reid who died the other day in France, not only the principal owner of the New York Herald Tribune, the Mergenthaer Lino- type Company and other valua5se properties in the East but she a heavy owner of the Mills Estate and through it she was interested with F. w Bradley in the Treadwel Bunker Hill and Sulli- Alaska Juneau and other mining properties. The Mills Estate is also heavily interested in San Francisco real estate.
 Before her marriage to Whitelaw Reid who succeeded Horace Greeley editor of the New York Tribune, she Miss Elisabeth Mills, daughter of Darius ogden Mills one of the fouders of the Bank of California and it's President for more than thirty years Her father invested money in the purchase of stock in the New York Tribune and the Mer- genthaler company.
 Mrs. Reid remarkably talented woman with a broad interest in the active affairs of the world She was beautiful, cultured, and charming hostess. But she never sought fame. She devoted her talents first to being the wife of her husband and mother of her children and then to her extensive charities She expressed her interest in business and politics through her husband and son. She did 1t silently and unobstrusivey that the world knew nothing of it. She to the public simply Mrs. Whitelaw Reid.
 After the death of her husband of years ago Mrs. Reid took greater personal interest in the Tribune-Herald Tribune after the purchase of the Herald-and the Paris Herald. She contributed m- mensely to the success of her husband as Minister to France and Ambassador to Great Britain She made friends with the great of Europe well as of America. And she always her husbands closest adviser in business politics and society
