TEST IS PLANNED OF
TWO-CENT FARE LAW
Statistics Are Being Compiled
In Indiana.
TWO STATES INTERESTED.

Indianapolis. Sept. 2S.-Statistics are
being compiled by roads in Indiana and
Ohio to be used. it is understood, in a
test of the constitutionality of the laws
establishing maximum passenger
rate of two cents mile. That OF
Ohio has been in effect since March,
1906, so that ample time has elapsed in
which to obtain the data required. In
Indiana the rate of two cents has pre-
vailed for only four months.
II is believed, that in both states, 1t
will be possible to show when the time
arrives for going into court that the
low rate is unremunerative. in which
case it is confidently expected the law
will be declared null and void.
The Pennsylvania success in the
court of common pleas encourages the
disposition to make the proposed fight
in Indiana and Ohio. and will be fur
Their strengthened in the event that the
supreme court of Pennsylvania affirms
the decision of the lower tribunal.

A|RSHIPS IN WAR;;
REGULATIONS NEEDED
Suggested That The Hague
Conference Should Act.
is AN UNKNOWN QUANTITY.

London. Sept. 2s.-The suggestion
has been made that advantage should
be taken of the sittings of the Hague
conference to formulate international
regulations with regards TO the use of
air ships in war; but this is not n
pressing question.
In the first place. the airship is an
unknown quantity. and the invention
of a machine that will navigate the air
is a remote contingency. Ii would be
a practical impossibility almost for an
explosive TO be dropped from war bal
loon upon any particular object To
hit an object the aeronaut would have
10 take with him heavy projectiles such
as no balloon could hit.

which was smashed in. Into this ap-
paratus is fitted nine teeth. while at
the rear of it is a piece of gold me-
chanism used to fasten or hook on
the face piece.
The third piece of the artificial face
comprises the chin and lower lip,
which are of india rubber. painted to
resemble nature. Over the chin is
fixed a false beard At the back of
this portion of the apparatus are a
couple of small bolts, which pass
through the holes of the dental piece
and fix the chin and lip to the artifi-
cial lower jaw and gum.
Finally, one more piece of the me-
chanism consists of the upper lip and
nose, which are also painted india
rubber. and to the former of which
is attached a false mustache. This
piece is automatically fixed to the up
per dental apparatus and the jaw by
two small clasps.
The man who goes about the world
with this artificial frontispiece is able
to masticate his food with compare
tive ease, and from a distance of
few feet the appearance of his face
is quite natural. He takes his face to
pieces himself and washes it every
day in soap and water.
