Fact is stranger than fiction. A two
million dollar airship Is being built for
travel between New York city and St
Louis. Is the present year to see n
realization of practical flight over long
distances? Men with the money be
lieve so and have contracted with
Louis Nixon. the ship builder. for a
monster craft which Is intended to
sail Oh the air. not on the water.
This original air liner will sail, ac
cording to present plans, between New
York and st. Louis. Because of the
frequency of travel between the two
cities 1t is probable that the route will
run by Chicago. BY the air route the
time between the two largest cities of
the country will be reduced to much
less than the present brief time of the
limited trains of the two most promin.
ent railway thoroughfares. There will
be saving Of time BECAUSE the route
Will be more direct. all the meander-
ings necessitated by rivers. lakes and
mountains being eliminated In the I'M
trammeled air.
In addition to this II is predicted
that the speed Of the airship will be
much greater. ordinarily. than has yet
been attained by steam or electric en-
gines.
Railway officials claim that a IA
hour run between Chicago and New
York is perfectly feasible. Their claims
have been substantiated in actual run
ming. Fancy. then. reducing this record
by four or more hours! That is the
claim set forth by the inventor and
the capitalist hackers and the builder
of the leviathan which is going to pIow
the air. just as the wonderful, swift
ocean liners push their way through
the water.
This prognostication is not an idle
dream of novelist. Actual work has
already been started on an airship to
have carrying capacity OF 1000 pas.

"ULTlMATE CONSUMER" THE
SCAPE GOAT OF THE DIS
CUSTOM, DECEIVED.
BIC DEMAND FOR COTTONsEEO
American Cottonseed OIL is Shipped
to Foreign Countries Where it is
Manufactured Into "Pure
Olive" and Returned.

Washington ID. C.-Thc ultimate
consumer" the scapcgoat of the tariff
discussion in congress-, is being en-
frightened on many questions through
the publication of facts brought out
in debate.
Some of this knowledge brings no
Joy 10 tn" heart of tn" ultimate con.
sumers for he finds that in many in.
stances he has been deceived.
Apropos of the rcceut discussion in
the senate regarding the necessity for
protecting the American cottOnseed
oil industry, Special Agent Julien l..
Brodr of the department of commerce
and labor has sent information from
Marscill"s, France. that tn" American
ultimate consumer" has been using
his own cottonscrd oil for his salad
dressing In the belief that 1t was
pure olive OIL from France.
Mr.. Brodc adds in Il kindly spirit
that the French pure food law and the
short crop of olives is going 10 boost
the price of real olive oil for the "ulti.
mate consumer"
Those southern senators who OPP
posed the placing Of n duty on cotton
seed oil commended that tn" industry
needed no protection, ON the ground
| that there was no competition abroad.
| but Mr.. Rrodc gives a list of oil which
he claims compete with tn" American
oil. He also refutes the contention
that cottonseedoil manufacture Is
| strictly an American enterprise, by
| declaring that cottonsc"d was bci:g
crushed in Marscilles, when 1t was be.
ing thrown away In America.
France imports about one-ifth Of
the cottonseed oil shipped ont of the
United States and Marscillcs is the
largest individual oil producer in the
worlds having a. mills which crush
about 4G5, 900 tons of seed annually in
addition to the large amount of the oil
| that Is shipped there,
Most of the cotton seed oils il
| mixed with other oils, peanut oil, and
sesame and sold at table oil", writes

well with the American product, can
be imported in considerable quantities
from South Africa. While there Is no

TO FIX BLAME
Electric Line Officials Make Rigid In
vestigation of Accident

The officials of the Chicago and Mil
waukee Electric Railway company
have ordered a rigid investigation Of
the accident which occurred just north
of Racine Friday afternoon with a. view
of finding the cause Tor the accident
and the proper punishment of the guilty
parties. The motormen in charge of
the two trains in the collision are to
be suspended pending the result Of the
investigation and it is probable that
the company will take some steps to
safe guard the trestle where the acci-
dent occurred SO as to make repeti-
ton of the accident an impossiblity.
At the same time the matter is to be
laid before the State Railroad Com
mission by interested parties and it is
expected that the Commission will take
steps to force the company to make
some other provisions for the operation
of cars over the viaduct The com
pany has stated that every possible pre-
caution will be taken to safeguard the
operation of cars at this place.
