New Ground Equipment..

To revert for one moment to the Air Estimates an intereating item in the re-equipment of the R.A.F. with new motor transport, as the age of existing vehicles, name of which have done 10 years service, makes their reconditioning un- economical..

Thus, an order was placed with Morris Commercial Cara Ltd. for an entire fleet of six-wheeled vehicles coating approximately £200,000. The contract includes tenders, staff cars, ambulances, lorries, and other types designed to meet the varied needs of the R.A.F. These new vehicles will, of course, provide far greater. mobility over rough country, which will be particularly appre- ciated by units co-operating with the Army.

Where Rellability is Essential.

It is good to learn that British aero engines have lieen chosen for the aircraft which will ply on the new. Munleh-Hilan air line, des- cribed as the world's most pic- turesque and difficult route. The journey starts and finishes with a few miles of lovel country and then rises to a height of 12,000 or 15,000 ft. to clear the snow-clad peaks of the Alps.

A fleet of Fokker monoplanes are to be used fitted with three Armstrong Siddeley Lynx engines, having a total of over 600 h.p. After leaving Milan at 900 ft. above sea level, machines going north have only a few miles over the Italian plains In which to gain height. Then

come the Berganese Alps with Mt. Redorta nearly 10,000 ft. Later comes the Ortler, nearly 12,000 ft. high after which the country becomes less wild and difficult.

Aircraft in the Dominions, There is a growing demand fri Canada, Africa, and Australia for aircraft for survey work, and al- ready some very important con- tracts have been carried out. The Great Barrier Reef, which covers an area of some 100,000 square miles of the Coast of Australia was successfully surveyed recent- ly by the Commonwealth Govern- ment with the aid of a fleet of Supermarine-Napler Amphibian machines.

Again, the Anglo-Persian "Oil Co. have just concluded a season's alr survey of Papun with two Supermarine-Napier "Seagulls," An area of 10,000 square miles was covered with the purpose of investigating the general structure

THE LITTLE MAN

ONE person recommended one thing and another recommended another. She herself thought that milk from the dairy was the only thing for Baby, and, for as long as she could, she went on with dairy milk, adding a little of this and a little of that, but Baby could not take dairy milk and, for all her care of him and all her yearning over him, he did not thrive.

And then one day someone recom- mended "Lactogen." From the very first, Baby could take “Lactogen." That was the first good sign. But other good signs. followed, and in a fortnight there was a different Baby and a different mother.

The particular process by which "Lactogen" is prepared, carefully preserves all the vitamins which are vital to a child's growth and strength and well-being.
