Flying Machine Speed.

In the matter OF speed, there is no
question that within the next year
machines will be built to maintain a
uniform pace Of sixty miles an hour.
Builders of the best models agree that
great speed is now merely question
of smaller models, more efficient pro
pellers and more powerful motors. The
problem, however. at present. is not
how to build machines with greater
speed but how TO construct them to
go slower Most of the biplanes and
mOnoplanes must attain an initial We
locity, while running on the ground
of twenty five to thirty miles an hour
before they can rise in the air. and
they must attain speed greater than
that to keep afioat. To be permanent
ly popular as a pleasure craft more
moderate speed will be necessary and
the accomplishment of that will no
doubt be worked out very soon.
A machine can now travel al
forty five miles an hour, and that will
be fast enough for a time, except for
racing. and special machines are al
ready being built for that purpose. If
a machine can fly three hours contin-
uously. it can fly twenty-four hours,
or from New York to Chicago. That
Is merely question of larger gaso-
line tank and greater spread of wings
to sustain the added weight Orville
Wright has flown at an altitude of
500 feet That is high enough to
get over tree tops and skyscrapers-
Latham has flown over Berlin, Count
Lambert has flown over Paris, VIII
bur Wright has flown over New York
hsrbor, Louis Bleriot has flown across
the English channel, Henry FarmaH
has flown more than three hours. and
several aviatcrs have carried one and
two passengers for considerable dis
tances. Therefore, with these things
done there are pretty sure to be great
er things doing. With speed altitude
and duration developed to.these points
as shown, we come naturally to the
question. what changes or improve
ments must be made in the present
flying machine before it is safe and
practical for everybody?-Buron r

Better Parents Needed.

Failures OF the body's nervous ma
chinery, or neuroses. as the Medical
Record phrases ii. are on the increase
in every civilized community Indeed,
such failure seems to be inseparaole
from the advance OF civilization. AS
life increases in completely and the
stress of keeping up with the process
ion grows, the old system of bodily
regulation and control fails at yari-
GUS points before nature has a chance
to brace it up by the needed structur-
al notifications.
That our nerves and brains as well
as our bones and muscles and teeth
and the hair are undergoing evolution
airy modification is manifest But the
process in the former tissues seems
to involve more profound changes than
elsewhere in the body, its results are
therefor more striking aud its pathol-
ogy more serious. The increase of
nervous instability and nervous break
down in children is one of the serious
problems with which the modern
physician and educator are called up
on to deal.
A discussion OF this important sub
ject took place at the recent meeting
Of the British Medical Association.
Those peculiar infsntilee neuroses be
ginning very early in life. faulty de-
giution. and defective respiration were
explained as due to defective func
tioning Of degenerate nerve centers.
And attention was drawn to the fact
that emotional. nervous children are
those in which moral perversicns most
commonly occur and in which the true
paychose usually develop. The ideal
thing is, CT course. to prevent these
nervous degenerates and dry UP at
the source the long stream of suffer
ing and crime which springs from
them. This is more OF an economic
and social than a medical problem. 1t
calls for better housing. better feed
ing better environments. and above all
better parents.-New York Press.

We Need Better Piows.

The South has not Kept pace with
agricultural development in the sort of
plows used. We are yet largely using
small. inefficient implements. AS re-
suit, we have been compelled to re-
move sro,l the land by burning large
quanti'i"l CT stalls. glass; and other
trash that would have furnished much
needed humus and large amounts OF
plant food, because our small piows
could not possibly turn these materi-
ais under in such a manner as to put
them out OF the way OF cult'vating the
crops. This difficulty has been greatly
augmented by our practice of walt
ing until time to plant the crops be-
fore breaking the land. The time TO-
do all deep blowing is in the fall or
early winter when the land is dry;
and to avoid the disadvantages or
breaking at this time. such as in
creased washing and teaching OF the
soil. we must use winter cover crops.
In these ways, and many others, we
have been great losers because OF the
inefficiency OF our plows and the man
ner of opr blowing For instance,
with a pillow cutting furrow seven
inches wide the man and horse must
travel distance of about fourteen
miles to plcw one acre. With 1e-.
inch furrow the distance travelled is
90 miles. while with a l4-inch furrow
the distance is only about seven
miles.
This illustrates the advantage In
using larger plows and substituting
horses and mules for, men; but this
saving is not the only advantage OF
the larger pIows requiring not only
two. but even three or four horses
TO pull them. II Is practically i'm
possible to do good blowing with the
one morse plow stil1 so extensively
used In the South OF course. the one
horse pIow Is not so generally used iE
our territory as il formerly was. but

plows at work preparing the land. 70

Voters Finally Decide Prohl-

CLOSES BITTER CAMPAIGN
Both United states Senators and Five
of Nine Congressman Are Opposing
Proposed Amendment, But Governor
and Speaker Of House Favor It.

MONTGOMERY. ALA, Nov. 81
The voters OF Alabama will decide
Monday whether they will make the
prohibition OF the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors part OF
the organic law of the state. The
question of whether the state consti-
tuition is TO be thus amended was sub
mtted at special session OF the
state legislature called by Gov. Conner
last August That session was one OF
the most bitter in the history OF the
commonwealth and the campaign
which followed and which closed to-
night. was not more peaceful.
The amendment which would for
ever bar liquor from the state is the
crowning feature of the most drastic
anti-liquor legislation ever introduced
in any state. The present legislature,
elected on local option platform. took
the bit in its teeth and went TO ex-
tremes unbeard of before. in all lines
OF prSnlDitlcn law uithius.
Beginning of Fight.
Obeying the platform which the peo-
pie endorsed at the general election
of 1906, the two houses passed in
1907. local option bill which held
the county as the unit. The liquor
men fought this act and followed with
agitation for its repeal But they did
not know how we'll OF they were. for
this agitation resulted in another move
by the radical prohibitionists. who
forced special session which
passed almost unanimously the
state wide prohibition bill. Again
the liquor element fought, with
the repeal Of the act by the special
session of 1909, which broke all rec
ords by not only submitting the ques-
ton of the amendment TO the con-
stitution. but enacted the now famous
Fuller bill which is conceded to be
the NEST drastic sumptuary law ever
drafted. The bill to be voted on Mon
