PAGE FOUR 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. MO It IX’REIUT TO ITALY.
