"The record," says- tthe survey. "shows that civilian flying although embarrassed by the lack of an Ameri can air policy, has established itself 8S a remarkably safe and dependable means of transportation. In three and a quarter million miles of traYel by air. only 15 persons were killed and 43 injured in a total of 27 serious accidents. Most of these accidents oc curred among that class of civilian aviators known as gypsy flyers. "Of the 1,200 commercial aircraft, probably one thousand are under the indirect supervision of responsible plane manufacturers or transporta tion companies and this is absolute ly the only regulation over flying, as local ordinances or state laws can not be enforced. Lacking a federal or ganization controlling civilian avia tion, these 200 or. more gypsy "flyers have been permitted to fly at will and many have met disaster. " "Eight of the ' fatalities and 32 of the injuries in the last six months have been traced to the lack of termi nals, routes and storm warnings, or to; reckless stunting errors which would have been corrected or pre vented had there been a national air policy. In all the United States there are only 214 adequate municipal or civilian air ports, yet-terminals are as necessary to aerial transport as they are to shipping or the rail ways. Deducting these preventable casualties, it is found that there was only one death for each 464,285 miles flown and only one injury for each 295,454 miles flown. ' . .

B. W. SPILLMAN- Delighted His Audience Last Night with His Talk on Joel Chandler Harris. - Dr. B. W.

", of-JHarris in a ;' unique and charming manner. tie tells the stories as he heard them from the: old negroes instead ef telling them as Joel Chandler Harris wrote them, bufc thexare . the game' stories and in thfe same spirit. Harris himself say she never originated a one of these stories but got them all from the old negroes. Dr. Spillman not only tells the facts of the life of Joel Chandler Harris in a very interesting way, but he inter prets hJs character and describes him so that one gets an intimate view and understanding of. him. He shows the heart of this- timid, stammering re cluse, who, he says, has created a character better known than his crea tor, because Uncle Remus is better knowta than Harris He is wtell known because his fingers did not stammer, although 'his tongue stam mered so that he would never tell one of his own stories. Dr. Sp'llman was in town during the morning and told stories again at the morning assembly hour, much to the delight of the students.

The Bolshe viki government has decided not to take any more chances with the fickle politica laffections of the Kronstadt sailors, once the backbone of the So viet forces, recently the revolutionists who held Coiimunists troops at bay for some days. The Kronstadt fort ress, up to the time of the recent Kronstadt revolution, was for all pur poses, more or less of an independent sailors' republic, which controlled the powerful foriress nearest Petrograd. Since the revolt there was qushed, the fortress has been put under the juris diction of the Seventh Army crops, with headquarters at Petrograd, de priving its garrison of any independ ent powers.

Dublin, July TL Lord Sitzalan, the new Irish Viceroy, wili not . take up his residence in the state apartments of Dublin Castle. Normally the Castle-besides being the seat of govern ment in Ireland is the official resi- the Viceregal Lodge is 'merely a sort of rural rest, house. ; " The Viceregal .Lodge is. at., present being redecorated and furnished for the reception: of the new .Viceroy. He will have no other residence . unless, as Lord Dudley did, he rents one for himself somewhere in the provinces. After the first year of the war Dubliij Castle was turned into a mili tary hospital. The state rooms be came dormitories and operation the aters. The hospital is now gone. But the official residence has been absorbed by the growing necessities of Irish government. The place now swarms with clerks far exceeding in number any formerly employed, in Irish administration. They have been recruited not from the ordinary Irish civil service but for the most part from across the Irish Sea. All the most important officials live in the Castle. It is not safe for many of them to leave it since inen employed there have been shot dead in the' streets. Ther is, therefore, no room for the .Lord Lieutenant. It is undrstood that he intends to entertain much more freely than Lord French, but he will do so at the Vice regal Lodge. There will be garden parties and musical parties instead oJ the old-time formal functions for which the Castle was famous ed one hour and twenty minutes.

The government railways, antici pating their need of timber, liave also taken steps to plant trees along teir rights of way. 6e alone, the Kansu Haichow railway,, is in process of plant ing . 4,000,000 trees, according, to the Bureau of Economic information. Afforestation has been "extended to nearly all- the provinces, with espec ially promising stations in Shantung and Kiangsu. In the latter province, at Nanking," there are approximately 6,000 acres devoted to the cultivation of 25,000,000 trees. In this station students are given a 3 years course in forestation and later are sent to various districts to specialize. There are three gardens in Shan tung which occupy some 700 acres. The "largest jand most prosperous station, is in the north of Kiangsu near Yengshow where -3,000 to 4,000 are grown every year, bpecai ai forestation schools have .been eetaq- Hshed in Anhwei, Chekiang, llupeh, Szechuan and Shansi. It is estimated that twenty-five percent of the 1,- 800 hsiens or counties in China are now engaged in this work which the Chinese hope will in the course trans form many of their barren tracts in to flourishing forests. - The establishment of a national Arbor Day when all classes of the population are encouraged to plant trees, is pointed to by the Bureau as an indication of China's awakening to the value of forestation.
