There is no finer butter than Australian: Butter. When you ask for "Australian Butter" you are assured of the highest food-value and purity.

This is the butter par excellence. Free fram injurious preservatives and fresh from the green pastures of a land of sunshine.

Of An Architect

HUGE railway stations, ten miles beyond the centre of the city they serve. and expresses that by-pass London are advocated by Professor A. E. Richardson, A.R.A., F.S.A., in calling for stations suitable for the next 50 years.

Professor Richardson, who is the University of London Pro. fessor in Architecture, told the Royal Institute of British Architects recently that the stations outside the city should be served by a ceinture line-a sort of suburban belt railway-which would call for the reorganisation of the whole suburban system in all directions up to 50 miles from London,

Engineer Crosses The

GLI

Channel in Glider

LIDING history was made recently by Mr. G. H. Stephonson, 27-year-old television engineer, of Hayes (Middlesex), when he crossed the English Channel on a soaring flight.

This is the first timo that this has been achieved. The Channel was crossed in a glider some years ago, but on that occasion an aeroplane was used to give the glider altitude.

Mr. Stephenson, who is a member of the London and Surrey Gliding Clubs, took off from the ground at Dunstable and landed three hours later at Wast, near Boulogne.

His flight, which covered 125 miles, was made in a British- made sailplane-a Kirby Gull.

He returned by boat after dismantling his glider.
