Toll of Two Lives For Four
TH
THE awful aftermath of two Good Samaritans of the air, forced down to their death in the Australian bush while searching for the strand- ed Southern Cross fliers, was disclosed when a rescue party located the bodies of Lieuten ant Keith Anderson and Rob ert Hitchcock and their plane. A scrawled diary, written with the fast-ebbing strength of these two valiant aviators on the rudder of their ship,
was
silent evidence of the struggle and torture they had endured.
When first sighted by another aviator several days agu, both budles were believed to Lave been under the wing of the giant mono- plane. But the rescue party to. 'day discovered that only the emici. ated form of Hitchcock was skel- tered by the plane.
The body of Lieutenant Anderson was 450 yards distant in the bush, one of the outflung arms clutching an air cushion containing, two full bottles of gasoline.
1The diary showed that the plane had been forced down on April 10, by engine trouble, after the Biers had unsuccessfully sought the ill- Happst Southern Cross, commanded.

Of late the American telephone service has introduced a type of in- strument which, while it resembles outwardly the old micro-telephone, is in essentials an entirely different instrument and remedies most of the old one. The British engineers has now made an instrument which is even better than the American pattern. Quite how the difficulty
of unstandardised faces and un- standardised voices has been got over is not revealed: suffice it that the engineers are satisfied. The new telephones are to be finally tested under working conditions for a few weeks, and then they will be available for all subscribers who It is said that they prefer them. will be just as good as, though no better than, the normal candlestick type.

Those who, like so many modern stage-heroines, prefer to do their telephoning from bed, will no doubt make all haste to acquire the sort of instrument which allows one hand still to snuggle under the bed clothes. Similarly those who, like people in films, prefer to hide their telephones in elaborate cabinets, will doubtless find the new instru ments easier to conceal.
