THE AIR FUTURE.

ROSS-SMITH’S PREDICTION.

AUSTRALIAN-MADE ’PLANES.

REPAIRING DAMAGED VIMY

BRISBANE, January 17. A party of engineers and motorists accompanied Captain Sir Ross-Smith and Sir Keith Smith to the Ipswich railway workshops yesterday to inspect the enigne, propeliors, and connecting rods of the Vickers-Vimy. The spare parts, which have arrived from Darwin, are being fitted to the engine, the broken crank has been repaired, and splendid work has been per•formed in the lamination of ftie propeller, which has been made from seasoned Queensland maple obtained from a stock of timber at the workshops. A large bench has been constructed for the purpose of testing the engine, which should be out of the shops in a week.

Subsequently, in the officers’ diningroom, the aviators were welcomed.

Touching on the future of aviation in Australia, Sir Eoss-Smith said he believed that there were immense nossibilities. There was no reason why they should not build aeroplanes and engines in Australia. It would only require the installation of certain plant, and there was no reason why it should not bo done. The work tamed out in the Ipswich workshops had proved its Capacity to carry out any class of work. The work done on the connecting rod was splendid. It was a delicate ~ob. Ho was certain that in a few years thousands of aeroplanes would be flying between Australia and England. Aviation had come to stay, and with the modern high-power type of machine they could go anywhere. With relays of machines and a properly-organised route, there was no reason why there should not be a regular service between Australia and England in the near future.

SOON ON THE WING.

MELBOURNE AT MONTH'S END

MELBOURNE, January 17,

In reply to a congratulatory telegram sent by Senator Russell, Sir Ross-Smith stated that repairs to his machine were progressing satisfactorily, and he hoped to reach Melbourne by the end of the month.

'‘Tlie summer sun makes sadness soon so small”—Stanus.

True perhaps, yet “glorious summer” is a happy hunting season for coughs and colds. It is so easy to neglect the simple sniffle and sneeze—and the result is a severe cough or cold. Don’t take chances with your health, even in summer. For that cough or. cold take ‘‘Baxter’s Lung Preserver.” The “summer sun” won’t remedy the trouble—but “Baxter’s” will. It has been doing so for the past 5:1 summers and this one will be no exception. Have “Baxter’s” handy. A sterling remedy for coughs, colds, sore throat, chest and bronchial troubles. 2s 6d large bottle.
