Designs for a British flying boat of about the same weight-that

the weight of 18-ton Empire flying boats now in service-have been completed, and Sir Philip Sassoon stated re- cently that they would be ready next year.
Apart from experimental types. such as the British "Sarafand" of 32 tons and the German Do-X of 30 tons, slze progress nowadays is at much the same rate in a countries. The French. however. have a Latecoere of 77 tons, and the American Martin "Clipper" is
23 tona.
In
the design and building of those big machines the time fac Lor is longer than that of earlier and smaller types. The cost, com- mitment is very much greater. It cannot be undertaken as a mere speculation, and great caution must be exercised at all stages.. The define step now being taken. and on which the leading aircraft designers of the world are agreed. is one from 18-20 tons to 36-40 tons approximately.

Marshal Graziani has submitted for approval by the Duce a plan for the transfer of the seat of government from Addis Ababa to n more central position-in. Dessle.
The experience of twelve months has convinced the Italian autho- rities that the conditions on the high plateau on which Addis Ababa is situated are unfavour- able for the planting of a large white population, while at the lower elevation of Dessie the health of the Italian colonist and officials can be maintained. Dessie, unlike

Memoranda
While travelling through India in the course of a trip round the world, Doctor Gwynn, who is tall. bewhiskered and husky, decided that the best way to learn some- thing or the inhabitants was "go native"..

Although 57, the doctor lived for some time with various Punjab tribes, "And I enjoyed It," he told a Free Press representative.
"And what's more, I have learned more about Indians by living with them than many Englishmen in
India would learn after living in the place 40 years. But it's hard- getting out of the habit of eating with your fingers."
Alabamans, like the people from Georgia, call "skirts" "skoits." "Of all the dofty spots in the whole wolld. India is the "doltiest," Dr. O'Gwynn said.

By profession, a consulting op- thalmologist in the United States Public Health Service, Dr. O'Gwynn carried out 522 cataract operations in 40 days while he was living with the native tribes in India. Catar- act operations are his hobby

without any medical education, has performed 137,000 cataract. opera - tions since 1904. Matha Das retired in 1935. but has since estabilahed an eye hospital.

While in India, Doctor O'Gwynn was the guest of the Maharajah of Patiala. Finding that many of the Maharajah's subjects suffered from cataract, he carried out, with the help of a native assistant, 182 operations in two days.
"There is more cataract trouble In India than anywhere else in the world." Dr. O'Gwynn' said. "And 'strangely enough, there is least in China. The cause is a mystery, so far, but it is believed to lie in die- tary deficiencies. And the Indian diet certainly is unbalanced."
Dr. O'Gwynn has left for Java. Before returning to United States, he will make an extensive tour of the Far East."
