AUSTRALIA"
A company has been formed known as Southern Air Lines and Freighters Limited to operate a number of services in Australia: the most interesting proposal is to use only aircraft fitted with com- pression ignition engines.
It is intended to establish a fast daily service for passengers, mail and freight between Adelaide and Sydney calling at Renmark. Mildura, Balranald; Hay, Griffith, and Cootamundra airports "en route." and a service, between Mel- bourne and Hay. The services will be extended to link up other capital cities as soon as traffic fustifies extensions, and to qualify the company to quote for the car- riage of mats under the scheme of the Federal Government.
It is also proposed to open freight services direct to mineral areas and cattle stations from the existing rall heads in New South Wales, Queensland, and the Nor thern Territory. Aircraft will be available for the transport of flocks and the carriage of fodder during periods when other types of transport are inoperative be- cause of weather conditions. The company belleves that freight rates should compare favourably with those of surface trarisport.
The rail heads which will serve as bases are Cloncurry, Winton, Longreach, Blackall, Charleville, Cunnamulla, Bourke, Cobar, Broken Hill Alke Springs, and Birdum: freight to the extent of 60,000 tons is handled annually here and it is estimated that at least one-third of this will travel by air. For pas- senger services, Junkers Ju.86 and for freight services Ju.52 aircraft, both Atted with Jumo 205 engines, will be used. Four of the former type and three of the later will be purchased at arst.
PAN-AMERICAN AIRWAYS The company has recently Inaugurated air cruises to Rio de Janeiro which have proved so popular that it has been necessary to have a cruise each week. From the 1st February another series of cruises has been started to Santi- ago and Vina del Mar in, Chile, The passenger can travel both out and back via Havana, Jamaica,
from which there is access to a terrace through glass doors. There will be a similar terrace at the front of the first floor of this wing. while at the back will be a small. hotel,
In the west wing, the ground floor is occupied by aerodrome staff rooms, pilots' rooms, a post office, and an ambulance station. Above these are dressing rooms and lounges for passengers.
The aerodrome offices and the meteorological and radio rooms are to be on the ground floor of the central part of the building, while above these is a steel and glass control tower. The building has been designed by Dr. Ing. Virgi Bierbauer and Laszlo Kralik.- "Shell Aviation News."
ELEPHANT CHASES
BUS
The occupants of a bus plying between Colombo and Jafna had a remarkable escape from death on May 27, last. The road at one part, not far from Dambulla, goes through jungle, and crosses a wide river. Near the bridge which they had to cross after dark one of the passengers saw a wild elephant by the side of the road, and at once gave the alarm.
Another flashed a torch at the beast, which immediately gave chase.

The occupants raised, cries and clung to each other in fear. The driver became excited and ac- celerated. After the had given chase for about 200 yards, the 'bus went down at the corner near the Mirisgoniyawa bridge, turning over about 53 feet below.
The occupants were twelve in number, and three of them sustain- ed injuries, which were not con- aldered serious. The bus was badly damaged. Some time after the accident, another 'bus of the same. company happened to pass that way., and the occupants of the damaged vehicle were transferred to that and conveyed to Hurnegala. where Information of the accident. was given to the Police, and the injured persons sent to hospital.
