Regular commercial passenger and mail air routes-around the world foreseen for 1937 with eventual schedules

as fast as 10-days when the gap across the i North Atlantic is spanned.

Every continent in the world is crossed by air lines. The South Atlantic Ocean has long ago been spanned by Air France and Deutsche Lufthansa from Africa to South America for so long that the fact is no longer regarded as remark-: able.

Pan American Airways have their first flights under way over the 9,000 miles Trans-Pacific route with huge Clipper ships negotiating the several legs between California and China.

Imperial Airways already has ar- ranged to operate passenger and mail service in co-oporation with Pan American Airways from. New York to Bermuda.

understood that the German line will utilise boats moored in the ocean. between the continents, similar to the operation conducted in the South Atlantic.

Ultimate plans of virtually all lines considering routes between America and Europe, however, con- template use of gigantle flying boats similar to the 25 ton Mar- tin flying boat, the China Clipper built for the Pan-American trans- Pacific service.

The China Clipper and Its sister ships can carry 43 passengers and a crew of seven on non-stop flights up to 1,200 miles, or 18 passengers and a crew of six on 3,000 mile non- stop flights.

Plans are under way for con- struction of even more gigantic craft. Glenn Martin is prepared to construct an enormous flying bont which would have a 5,500 mile range and weight 50 tons, includ ing five tons of revenue cargo.

Flying speeds beyond 200 miles per hour and flights at alutudes as high as 24,000 feet where the enormous planes can escape many storms, are among the develop ments forecast for the round-the world routes.

Plans already are under way to connect the trans-Pacific route with the Royal Dutch Airlines next year for regular air service from the Philippines to the Dutch East Indica,

From Wellington, New Zealand, also has come word that the Govern- ment has completed arrangements to connect the Pan-American line.

"Often he told me, and he repeats It in his diary-that he knew the identity of Jack the Ripper.

"He described him as a middle- aged doctor, a man whose mind had been embittered by the death of his son.

"The latter had sulfered cruelly at the hands of a woman of the streets, and the father believed this to be the cause of his brilliant son's death.

"For months after his son's death the father roamed the streets of the East End, where he had been told this particular woman was to be found.

"Dr. Dutton did his best-to per- suade his colleague that the nature of his son's death was best for- gotten, but for a while this em- bittered man' disappeared com- pletely.
