FLYING CAPTURES INTEREST OF SIAM Elephants and Tigers Rele- gated With Real Develop- ment of Aviation. “Oriental Siam is more interested in aviation today than in herding ele- hants or baiting tiger traps,” says a gulleun from the headquarters of the | National Geographic Soclety. ‘“True| enough, there are tigers and elephants roaming through some of Siam’s secluded jungle areas, but airplanes are roaring in skyways overhead and are bringing isolated districts into close touch with Bangkok, the cacgi\‘jl city. “Aviation in this kingdom ruled over by King Prajadhipok, the young mon- arch who visited the United States for surgical treatment a couple of years ago. began as & military activity. “Students were sent abroad and thor- oughly trained, not only in the art of fiving, but in the engineering of plane | building, as well.

Siamese Are Good Aviators. “The Siamese have a flair for flying, and are good mechanics, as well as ex- cellent pilots. They execute breath- taking dives, loop-the-loops and spins during their course of training, with as great skill as pilots in any other land. Careful and efficient, they have a rec- ord of very few accidents since the first commercial line was opened in 1922. “Aviation is of appreciable assistance in the country in forming rapid com- munication to rich areas that have not yet been opened up by roads or rail- and forth. Thus air p ways. Especially has this been true in the eastern districts. “Siam is the safest and most eco- nomical gateway from Europe to the extreme reaches of Southeast Asia and Far Pacific regions. It lies on the direct route from Europe and India to Java, Australia and the Philippines, and also forms the natural junction for £ky routes to French Indo-China, Hong- | bank of the Chao Phya River at the | kong and portions of populous China. | Outskirts of the city.’ Although large areas are covered with | Jungle, the country, for the most part, | FRANCO-ITAL'AN PACT does not offer as many air hazards as surrounding territories, for it is en- | tirely free from typhoons. “Sensing _the Importance of _this strategical position on the Far East- Lecturer WILL DELIVER ADDRESS ON MANCHURIA.

If you didn’t want to arrive at any place in particular, you might choose the latter. But not otherwise. Before you, as buyer, run two roads. One is the road of knowl- edge of an advertised product. Thousands use it. There’s no mystery about it, no doubting, nothing hidden. It leads the way definitely to a fountain pen, a floor wax, a tooth-paste that will give you satis- faction. When you use an advertisement, you use an open road. When you don’t use advertisements, you go the doubtful road. You have only hazy knowledge of the product ahead. No trade- mark or name to depend upon guides you. The result may or may not be worth the effort. You don’t know. Read the advertisements. Anything widely gdvetfined—brukfanf food, hammer, hair tonic—has proved itself good by advertising. Advertisements put you on the open road to satisfaction.
