GIANT AIR LH:IERS TO LINK LONDON WITH INDIA SOON Planes Now Building Will Carry 25 Passengers and Complete Trip on Third Day. Oerrespondence of the Associated Press LONDON, June 16—All-Steel air planes now under construction here will make the trip from England to India, roughly 8,000 miles as the crow would fly, if he were able to accom- plish it, in three days and some odd hours, according to recent announce- ment of the ajr ministry under whose ;um“ vision the machines are being uilt. The specifications provide that the planes be equipped with three motors developing 2,000 horsepower, and it is hoped they will be able to accomplish 100 miles an hour and possibly even a greater speed. A crew of four or five will operate each machine, which will carry 20 to 25 passengers.

Opening her eyes, Mrs. Benton thrilled at the sight of her family and triends and of her five-vear-old great grandson, whom she hadnever seen. She had many times traced the out- line of his features with the tips of her fingers, trying to picture what member of the family he favored, but yesterday she saw him.

NEW ORLEANS, July 4.—Mos- quitoes, which have descended in larger swarms than usual this Sum- mer on New Orleans and other places along the Gulf coast, have been blamed for bad dispositions and al- most everything else. But the latest charge against them comes from Tangipahoa parish, where the pests are accused of causing the postpone- ment of five weddings in one week. The weddings were to have been out door affairs, in keeping with the sea son A dry Winter, which caused the death of thousands of small fishes and other forms of animal life that prey upon mosquito larvae, followed by un. for Tlfi'ngs You Like to Do When you own a Hoes your have mor er Kitchen Cabinet e leisure—more time for rest and recreation.

QUEBEC, July 4.—“Ka-koosh is That's what the Eskimo in North Bafin land called a certain greedy and quarrel- some trader from St. Johns., The trader was starting on a 2,500-mile Journey over the ice. The Eskimos decided that he should take even a Jonger journey. 'l’\he Angikok or high priest had them vcast little polished disks of bone to see who should ald the trader in his travels. The lot fell to Nakudlah, an amiable and kindly man. [e wus ordered by the tribe to shoot the trader. He did. Then he also went om a long journey—to Kingston prison in the province of the Canadian Steamship Arctic started wallowing northward Wednesday-—loaded to her bridge deck with lumber and supplies for the northern outposts of the British Em- pire—it was taking Nakudlah home again. For two vears he had had his view of civilization through prison bars. He had been sentenced to 10 years. A few months ago he began to waste away. He was threatened ‘with tuberculosis. The governor of the province gave orde to the De- partment of the Northwest to take kudlah home on the next trip North. Brought to Dock. The Arctic was doc! at the old King’s Wharf at Quebec. Above were the ramparts and bastions of the old fortress and the beautiful spires and vinnacles of the Chateau Frontenac. There was much uproar and confu sion with the salling. A great ocean liner went by on its way to Montreal. Nakudlah was brought to the wharf by four of the rangy, flamingo-jacket ed, booted and spurred lads of the mounted police. Nakudlah wore a prison suit of sleazy gray. It hung loosely on his wasted frame. His skin was sallow and his eyes were sunken. He stood with his cap in his hand, looking | toward the north and waiting for the ship to sall. Standing thus motion less, he did not even turn to lgok when the ocean liner went by. Capt. Mur ray, a Scotch trader, who has spent most of his life in the Far North, was talking to Nackudlah “The lad says he's a bit homesick,” said the Scotchman. “These Eskimos don’t like to go about much.” “Too Many People.” With the captain as interpreter, this reporter interviewed Nakudlah. “What does he think of things down this way" (a low guttural interchange seemingly not articulate, but unques tionably Eskimo). “He thinks things would be a lot | better if there weren't so many people | That seems to be the main trouble | here—too many people."” “'Did they treat him well in prison?" “Yes, they treated him well, but he wants to go home. He wants to know if vou know when this ship is going to sall “Has he a family? “He has a wife and she promised to walt for him until he comes back His baby died about the time they were taking him awa: “Does he understand why he had to go to prison?” “Yes, he understands, but he had to kill the man. It was the law of his tribe that this man should dle, just as it was the law of our tribe that one must not kill another. He had to obey the law of his people.” Sits on Capstan. As he talked, Nakudlh still looked fixedly to the north. Suddenly he sank to the ground. “He says he is tired, and wants to &0 home,” said the captain. One of the red coats came andtook Nakudlah by the hand and led him down the gangplank to his room on the boat. A big huskie dog, being taken north by the ship's doctor, came frolicking up the companionway. Nakudlah put his arm around him, and the dog licked his face. It was the first time that Nakudlah’s face had lighted up.
