Empire Building Victoria Colonist (Cons.) : It thould b« the ultimate aim of the British Empire to make il.self as .self- •upporting as possible. It should he possible to make it tho aim of all its conatituent parts, where they cannot buy goods manufactured at home, to buy those made in some other part of tho Empire. That is th' road to sclf- gupport. In the aggregate Empire- eluding stops of not more than two and Radio Ojicrntor I,junglund, took off on the second part of the journey. Non-Freezing Fuel Tho Sverige was made especially for tlio transatlantic flight by tho Junkers factory, and is eipiippcd with a Junkers L-5 six-cylinder water- cooled molor with an cxlin high com- pression ratio. Its ianks hold suffi- cient fuel for 17 and one half hours flying. A mixture of benzol and toluol which will withstand a lemp<'ratur« of 30 degrees below zero, Centibrado, without freezing, was to bo used as far as Greenland, where arrange- ments have been made to refuel with benzol. The purpose of the flight, according to Captain Ahrenbcrg, is to demon- Htrato the possibility of carrying pas- sengers across tbe Atlantic by air, using the Greenland-Labrador rout«, which gives the shortest over water' distances. The total time for the Stockholm- New York flight was originally com- puted upon a 47- hour schedule, in- buycrs become Empire builders. hours each at the rcfuling points.

Morin dit Lenoir, requested ot Judge LacrolK as he stood In the witness box in Mon- treal endeavoring to prove to the court that he Is an expert hypnotist and no amateur. Morin looked fixed- ly at Auguslo Angers, K.C., the Crowa Prosecutor but finally abandoned the attempt by declaring that the lawyer was a "bad subject for a liypnoti.st." Ho had failed but Juilye Lacrolx did not hold him to hU promise. Morin was accused of obtaining $3t by falso pretences from Maurice Paquet, but the proof showed that the latter had given tho money to secure les.sons which would qualify him as a competent hypnotist. He was ao- quitted. When not dispensing lessons to hypnotism, Professor Morin spends his time mystifying audiences la theatres.
