WORLD HAPPENINGS

Dr. B. T. Lila Burke, 58 years old, |
of Morrison, N.J., was the three-mil-}

gates at the World's Fair, Chicago.

Great Britain's unemployment fig-

Many people seem at a loss
know what tonnage means. The vari-
ous kinds of tonnage are often a bit
confusing. For the benefit of these
the Cunard Line has distributed the
following information:

To begin with, vessel tonnage
should not be confused with cargo
tonnage. A cargo-weight ton is 2,240
pounds, while a cargo-measurement
ton is 40 cubic feet, A vessel-meas-
; urement ton is 100 cubic feet. The
| carrying capacity of ships is limited
by the amount of measurement space
available within their holds, and by
the amount of weight they can safely
carry. This is called register or dead-
Weight tonnage ,respectively.

The five kinds of vessel tonnage
are as follows:

Gross register tonnage.—The total
enclosed space of a vessel, expressed
in measurements tons of 100 cubic
feet, including engine room, bunker

Sixty-Four-Year-Old Woman
Taken Up Aviation

Being 64-years old, and a woman,
has not prevented Mrs. Kay Culver
from taking up flying at a Pittsburg
aviation school.

Mrs. Culver known by grease mon-
keys and pilots alike as “Kittie,” tells
questioners she “is afraid of noth-
ing.”

“It is beautiful,” “Kittie” tells
everyone, “And I get crazier about it
every time I go up.”

She passed her Preliminary tests
with flying colors, records of the U.S.
Department of Commerce reveal.

Mrs. Culver has not yet taken her
solo flights as she has a few more
hours of instruction ahead of her. Her
instructors, say, however, she is a
capable student.

When in Paris in 1906 and 1907 she
met Santus Dumont, one of the ear-
liest experimenters with aeroplanes,
and dirigibles. He invited her to make
flights with him.

“His aeroplane was too frail,”” she
explains, “I didn't want to take my
life in my hands.”

She adds though that now things
have changed and she really likes to
fly. .

There are large areas in Canada in
which fur is practically the only re-
source developed up to the present
time. A century ago the value of the
export trade in furs exceeded that of
any other Canadian product, but the
relative values of our exports have

Were exported chiefly to France and
the West Indies. In 1850 Dominion
trade tables show the value of raw
furs exported to have been $93,872.
These figures increased to over $24,-
000,000 in 1929. Although the value
of this trade has decreased during
later years, Canada may still be Je-
scribed as one of the great fur pre-
serves of the world.

One of the areas where fur is still
