It has been reckoned that the Laverage time allowed by busy people for the actual eating of an ordinary dinner is fteen minutes. Neglect of proper mastication through the bad practice of hasty feeding is one of the commonest causes of indigestion. Another factor of this disorder is neglect of the teeth in early and Edult life. A third cause is the wide spread ignorance of the barest rudi ments of the physiclogy of digestion and a complete disregard of the first principles of the science of diet.

"A kitebea with at least as good accommodation as, any railway re staurant car will be provided. The absence of vibration and noise and the almost complete absence of sea sickness are important considera- tions."
It is not generally realized that by fitting a different cabin the R34, the hero of the Atlantic fight, is capable of carrying 37 passengers, in addition"! to crew and petrol and a certain quantity of baggage and mails for a non-stop fight of 2,000 miles, while the R38, which has been sold to America, can carry 105 passengers in comfort on the same conditions.
The R.X, a giant airship now under consideration, having a length of 740 ft. and a capacity of 4,000,000 cu. ft. will be able to carry 155 pas sengers for a 2,000 mile voyage, or 70 passengers for 3,000 miles, at an average speed of 60 mph.

NEW FOKKER
AEROPLANE.
WINGS TWO FEET THICK.
The latest zeroplane designed by Mr. Fokker, the famous Dutch builder, has been exhibited at the Schiphol Aerodrome, Amsterdam. Its inventor believes that it will re- volutionise aeroplane construction, and greatly reduce both purchase price and costs of fiying..
An outstanding feature of the pew aeroplane is that it has no connecting wires or cables. The wings are sup- ported by longitudinal 'sleepers," which give them the necessary strength. They are consequently very thick as much as 2ft. in the centre and they are further streng thened by the use of triplex wood instead of the customary aeroplane fabric.
And London stands alone as the greatest of the world's pleasure cities. Film producers are fighting for sites: and musical and operatic stars more than ever regard London as the Mecca of their art.
