About 100 business men scattered thruAit- the lUnitad States more or less regularly fly-In airplanes- between their homes in the country, at the mountains or the shore to their city offices, accord ing to an estimate of the Manufac turers Aircraft association. The num ber of itinerant aerial "taxi-drivers" who carry passengers on short but remunerative flights is placed at some 300.

Reval, Esthonia, July 00. What d ma red me as much as anything else in Pskov wss the fact that thou sands of Russian people still flocked to the churches. I had understood that the church had been abolished by Lenin and Trotzky as an idolctrous and super stitious institution devised to keep the poor ignorant and contented. And yet -in a town alive with the fluttering red flags of a Socialist refa ction, generously plastered with col oredV posters and lurid cartoons sym bolizing the downfall of the Czar, the church and" the capitalist, I found the great cathedral the busy rallying point of a devout townspeople and peasantry from the surrounding coun try. On a hill that dominates the whole town, is the cathedral, a wonderful snow-white building with five bulbous domes of dull lead, built in 1138. The Arshbishop of Pskov, by the way is a refugee of Reval, Esthonia. The wild jangling of bells, big and little, drew me cathedralwards the first Sunday. Soldiers, peasants, young girls .who always manage to find a bright silk handkerchief for their heads), old and bent women, big bearded moujiks, wer passing thru an old stone arch way into; the rKermlin and climbing me inn. Roadway Lined With Beggars The steep roadway was lined with beggars in rags and mendicants sell ing crudely colored religious pictures. Many walked to church in bare feet, putting on their shoes at the door. Outeide the cathedral, on the grass in the blazing sun, three "popes" or priests, were conducting separate services. , To the unStiated the ritual of the Russian church is bewiledring. The priests in gorgeous robes of gold, sil ver and scarlet silk, heavily embroid ered with yards, of wonderful lace, were stnading before improvised al tars. They were chanting at a rapid rate,. but with the characteristic rich, deep voice of the Russian, the prayers. They held sacred images In their hands. - i - - The people crowded around them crossing themselves 20 times a minute or falling on their knees to kiss the ground. The picture was one of great con tracts. On the one hand were the magnificently arrayed priests, on the other, the ragged, hungry people. The domes of the cathedral lifted them selves to a clear blue sky; down be low from the Kremlin walls could be seen drab figures I knew of famished people) crawling across the market place 0 up and down the crooked strets. Inside mass was being held. Thf cathedral was jammed to the doors. The singing and the prayers were over. The priests were passing to and fro among the congregation incens ing all the sacred images hung on thf walls. Devout, religious fervor on the part of the people I found everywhere in Red Russia. In a small village about 10 miles out of Pskov I had a chat with a priest. "The Bolsheviks are leaving uir alone now," he told me. "At first we suffered great persecution and priest? The Bolsheviks, came here, slash ed our robes and altar cloths with their bayonets and murdered two of ' "The Russians are a religiously-inclined people.

Toronto, July 16. The double dis appearance of Ambrose J. Small, mil lionaire theatrical man of this city, and his secretary, John Doughty, both Well-known citizens of Toronto, -has been one of the most mystifying cases Which the Canadian police have had to deal with. Small has been missing since December 2 and Doughty since December 28, last. ' The whole continent of America has been a field for search by detectives for trace of the missing men, and circulars describing Mr. Small and offering rewards for the recovery of Mm, dead, or alive, have been sent to almost every country irr he civilized world. Mr. Small had just put through a deal for the1 sale of his interests in a string of theatres in Canada at $7, 750,000 to a syndicate known as Trans Canada Theatres, Limited, and a few hours before his disappearance, oh December 2, he had received a check for $1,000,000 in connection with the sale. This check he deposited in bank. On that day he had had- lunch with his wife -downtown, and had promised her to be home to dinner in the evening.

The last person known to have seen him was his favorite news boy, from whom Mr. Small bought th evening papers. ' The fact that Mr. Small was miss ing was not made public until th -or four weeks had elapsed. In the first week in January the first circu lars asking for information as to Mr. Small's whereabouts were sent out by the local police authorities, and a re ward of 1500 was offered. A short time afterward the reward was in creased to $5,000. Then on the first of June a reward of $50,000 was of fered by Mrs. Small for information regarding Mr. Small's whereabout, if alive, and $15,000 for the recovery of his body, if dead. ' The mystery .of Mr. Small's absence was accentuated by the disappearance of John Doughty, who Had been bU priyati ; secivOajy. Ifltiaany ."'fears. Doirghty ha, not been seen or heard from, so far as the authorities are aware, since December 28, 1919. In JuneT 1920, the discovery was made that $150,000 jot Victory bonds were missing from the safety deposit vault where they had been placed by Mr. Small, and it was stated that Dough ty had had access to the vault. .There upon circulars were issued offering $5,000 reward for the arrest of John Doughty on a Charge of having ab ducted Ambrose Small, and $5,000 for Doughty's arrest on a charge of hav ing stolen the missing Victory bonds.

Ariz.. July 16. The chamber of commerce, has joined with Chas. Butters, mining expert of New York and San Francisco, to promote the formation in. Mexico of an asso ciation of silver mine owners and silv- erproducers to rebuild the abandoned mints thruout the nation and thus bring about once, more free and un limited coinage of silver Mr. Butler states that if the old time minting plan is re-established it will mean that Mexico ' will coin 500,000,000 lunces of silver. ' The mining expert has extensive in terests in mines in Mexico. Salvador and Nicaragua and is known for his introduction of the cyanide reduction process into Mexico. He . says the greatest need of Mexico- today is small change and hard money. The revolutionists and the world war, says Mr. Butters have stripped Mexico bare of silver com. In its Dlace he says is a vast quantity of paper money issued by the varying governments ,; as Jiat money. He blames the great flood of paper money in Mexico for most of .the suffering in that nation in connection with the various revolutions. This system, according to the silver mine expert, has threefold benefits. It will, he says, at once restore to Mexico the "hard money" and small change, provide a parment primary market at home for large amounts oi silver production and stabilise the silver market because the Mexican home requirement! will take up- a great quantity of silver now exported and sold on a speculative market thru San Francisco for the Orient.
