CAPE-TO-CAIRO
AIR PROJECT IS
ALREADY BEGUN
LONDON. —(Correspondence of The
Associated Press.) —Actual construc
tion work has already been begun in
connection with the projected Cape to
Cairo air service, the British air min
istry announces. Aerodromes are be
ing set up every 600 miles, the present
non-stop limit, from one end of Africa
to the other, the principal ones being
built at Cairo, Khartoum, and two in
German East Africa, at Kampla and
Ujiji.
The route then passes into Rhodesia,
and along the course of the railway to
the Cape. Long before the famous
Cape to Cairo railway is in operation it
is confidently expected that airplanes
will be covering the route on regular
schedules. The distance is 5,200 miles.
After establishing this service, the
plan of the air ministry is to hand it
over as a going enterprise to a British
•commercial company.
The air ministry is acting as a pio
neer in various undertakings and, ac
cording to one of its officials, its posi
tion to commercial flying will be anal
ogous to that of the British admiralty
and merchant-marine service. A
“Lloyd’s Aircraft Register” is expected
to make its appearance in the near fu
ture. Already wireless stations on
the continent signal the passage, ap
parent condition, origin, nationality,
cargo and destination of passing air
craft.
“England,” said the official, “if only
on account of Empire communication,
has more to ask of other powers in
the way of flying rights than she has
to grant. Air travel will not be, in
the main over the sea. That is too cir
cuitous.”
Commercial signal codes are being
, considered at the ministry, also the
question of air police.
Pig and Canning
Clubs for Plains
PLAINS, March 22.—A number of
the boys of the Plains school have
joined the Pig club as a result of a
visit to the school by George O Mar
shall, county demonstrator. The boys
are making arrangements to get their
pigs and begin caring for them ac
cording to the rules of the club. The
boys of Plains school, in the past, have
won various prizes for fine hogs and
it is believed that these boys will also
succeed. The following have joined
the club: Sam Ferguson, Alton Ray
field, George Shirley, William Lott
Jennings, John Rufus Cook, Lewis
Dodson, Michael Logan, R. E. Shirley,
Sherwood Carpenter, James Fink,
James Dodson.
A Girls' Canning club has also been
organized. Those joining are Louise
Smith, Madge Bagwell, Ethel Jennings,
Sara Reven, Ellen Smith, Birdie Lou
Wall, Violet Raven.
The canning club, it is hoped, will
prosper this year, as it has never been
as successful here as the pig club.
