Now it is actually ith us, Every day the number of i7ht aeroplane owners is being ad- lod to, Already there are more than 100 pioneer owners of such small flying machines in this coun try, while the members of light aeroplane. clubs are numbered in thousands, Club aerodromes are springing up here and there. The great new movement is in active development, And what of those who remain on the earth? Is this new era to add a fresh terror to thelr lives? The answer is emphatically "No!" The interpretation of the posi- tion of earth-folk and air-folk, as it stands from a legal point of view today, is that an aeroplane, so long as it is navigated reasonably at an adequate height, may fly unimped- ed above the property of earth- dwellers. This is the basis of aer~ lal law as placed on the Statute Book by the Air Navigation Act of 1020, This Act with its consolida- | ton ordeérs of 1922 and 1023 is the law of the land today, A vital i clause in it reads as follows: No action shall lle in respect of trespass or in respect of nuisance by reason only of the flight of alr~ craft over any property at a height above the ground which, having regard to wind, weather, and all the circumstances of the case, Is reasonable, This clause of the Act, one might say, i8 the alrman's charter. It gives him the freedom of the air, It adapts to the purposes of avia- tion that old hard-and-fast law that a man owns the alr space above his land, British common law is simply organized common sense, and if that ancient law was rigidly applied today it might han per the aerial progress which the State is doing 'everything in its power to encourage, The Air Navigation Act makes provisions directly in the interests of those who dwell on the ground below, It is specifically laid down that those who pass through the alr shall not fly over any city or town except at such altitude as will enable the aircraft to land outside the city or town should the means of propulsion fail through mechan- fcal breakdown or other cause; shall not cdarry out any trick or ex- hibition flying over any city or town area or populous district; shall not carry out any flight which, by reason of low altitude or proximity to persons or dwellings or for.any other reason, is the cause of unnecessary danger to any person or property. As things stand the earth-dwell- er is protected as far as it is hu~ manly possible to protect him from dangers or nuisance arising from flying. It is rigidly enacted that the man who flies must be a thoroughly qualified pilot. He has to pass stiff official examinations. He has to be medically examined, His machine, before he can make a journey across country in it, has to obtain an official certificate to show that it is completely airworthy, During the time the machine is in use it has to be 'subjected to periodical oficial overhauls, ih chum of Service's, who was also ine' | Bowmanville Daily Times News, advertising and subscriptions will be received at the Bowmanville Office of The Times, Telephones--Office, 687; PENSION PLANTS.

It is difficult to believe there ever was a tie when this fragrant weed, was not indulged in by Indians, but there does not seem to be any ground for believing that tobacco, as we know it, was used in India before. the beginning of the seventeenth century, when it was in- troduced into the Deccan by the Por- tuguese and then carried up to the north, When Tavernier visited India in the middle of the seventeenth century, he found it grown in large quantities about Burhanpur, where a consider- able proportion was left to rot on the ground, Asad Beg is credited with eing the one responsible for intro- ducing the weed to the Royal Fami- When we come to the days of | John Company we find that smoking was very popular, though the most popular form was the hookah, When the meal was finished the hookadar prepared the various "hookahs, from each of which long tubes to be used for drawing in Ah smoke pended. When a dozen or so men were well into their smoke, a noise similar to continuous snoring resounded through the room, The hookah is an Indian pipe for smoking through water, and as late as 1840 it was still common at Cal- cutta dinner-tables, as well as regi- mental mess-tables, Many of the old Anglo-Indians retained their love for the hookah when they returned to England, There were then certain rules reg- ulating its use, for we find that in 1792 the rules for the Calcutta Sub- scription Dances provided : "That hookahs be not admitted into the hall room during any part of the night. But hookahs might be admitted to the supper rooms, to ithe card roms, to the boxes in the theatre, and to each side of the as- sembly room, between the large pil- lars and the wall." We are also told that in former days it was considered a heinous of- fence to step over another man's hookah and that several duels were fought on account of this, The users of the hookah were not satisfied with the coarse tobacco and they added |. sweet-scented Persian tobacco, sweet herbs, sugar, spice etc. Even in those days the ladies par- ticipated in the pleasure and many of them have attempted to describe the effects of smoking the hookahs The tobacco used by the poor in India is of a low grade, In Upper India the farmer cuts the . tobacco leaf into shreds and kneads it up with treacle and water till it be- comes a black, sticky mass, which has to be kept slight by a: lump of red-hot charcoal placed upon it, The "time enjoyed. cost of a whole day's sure is out two pies, J , A very primitive method of smok- ing is {otiowed in the Himalayan districts, Here two holes are mad: in the snow or in the earth of a sloping bank, and connected together by an underground channel. In one hole is p the lighted tobacco and the smoker, crouching over the sec- ond hole, sucks out the smoke, s imes a reed is inserted in the second bole which enables the smok- er to enjoy his pleasure without stop. ping. It is necessary, if onc wishes to make 2 good smoke from Indian tobacco to take steps to modify its strength, by the ition of sweet- scented materials and also by pass- ing it through the water as mention- above. We are told by Buchanan-Hamil- ton that at the beginning of the nine- teenth century, only one division of Brahmans in Bengal, the Gayawalas, or temple priests, ked, But gradually a change took place and smoking has now become practically universal all over India The cigarette today is driving the native bidi from the market fo a cer- tain extent, though the latter, on account of its extreme cheapness, is sure to die very hard, There is still some objection to the tobacco habit in some parts of the country as it is believed that the marcotic properties of the plant are due to the presence of some kind of spirit, which when volitalized in the smoke, brings dis- case on children, It is interesting to mote, on the authority of Crooke, that in somc village rest-houses, "parish" pipes arc still to 'be seen, Each has a specially-colored rag autiched to it, which shows to which caste it be- longs. There are some pines allotted to. Brahmans, some to Mussalmans and some to low caste people. PICKERING PERSONALS Pickering, Sept. 19.--~Mrs, Jas. Som- erville and Mrs, Robt.
