AERIAL SURVEY TO
OPEN VIRGIN LAND
Much Expected of Air-Map
ping of Alaska,
Ketchikan, Alaska.— Flying two
miles high to map 40,000 square miles
of Alaskan territory, much of which
seldom before has been seen by man,
ii a task that furnishes plenty of
thrills, according to Lieut. Ben H.
Wyatt, officer in charge of the navy
air-mapping expedition which started
operations out of Ketchikan. It is by
far the largest survey in square miles
attempted by the air service of any
nation and from the standpoint of the
ruggedness of the terrain surveyed it
haa no equal, the lieutenant said.
Writing In the Chronicle, Lieuten
ant Wyatt declared that "the rapidity
with which an aerial survey can be
Why Atlanta Has
2,000,000 Square Yards o 0
Concrete Streets
Atlanta, Georgia, laid its first
concrete street pavement in 1915* I
It now has 2,ooo,ooosquare yardfc
Four-fifths of this total was bulk
because property owners askea
for concrete.
And they asked for it becausQ
they had learned that concrete
pavement requires little maixp
tenance.
People in Atlanta like concrete
pavement also because its pleas*
ing, light gray color dresses up
any street.
They know, too, that this
rigid, unyielding pavement always
remains true and even and it*B
safe to drive on, rain or shine.
No wonder more than 1,000
cities and towns laid concrete
streets in 1925.

from France and pay them a visit. It
has walls six feet thick, a gun em

- Representatives of the genus “hobo”
have found this particular tower a

The war ofiice apparently thinks it is
time Napoleon’s unconscious eontribu

congestion should be more profitably
realized upon. At any rate, it wants
to get rid of the property and it is to

St. Swilhin’s Day.
July 15 Is St. Swithin’s day. Ac
cording -to an old superstition, if It
rains on St. Swi t hin's nay it will rain
on the forty succeeding days. The
legend says JJiat St. Swithin. bishop
of Y\ inchester, who died in 802, de
sired to bo buried in the churchyard
in order that “the sweet rain of
heaven might fall upon his grave.”
When he was canonized the monks
thought they would honor St. Swithin
by removing Ids body into the‘choir,
and they set July 15 us (lie day for the
ceremony. But it rained on that day
and continued to rain every succeed
ing day for forty days, which die
monks interpreted as disapproved 0 I
their project by the saint ', and accord
ingly abandoned it. The story is
mythical, at least in part,- for St
Swithin was never actually canonized
by the church.
