Phiai Worth 5000 Lost In Paris and
Physician Says the Finder Is

Paris, France.-Paris police gravely
call attention to the loss of small
bottle of salts of radium In an omni-

1t Is asserted that the contents OF
the bottle were worth $1,000 and that
they would be extremely dangerous to

this small quantity of radium rolling

NO LIMIT TO HIGH FLYING
Only Obstacle to Aeropianes Getting
Beyond Gun Range 10 Lack Of q
Perfect Motor.

New York.-Glenn H. Curtiss. the
aeropIanist. declares that the objec-
ton Of military authorities to flying
machines on the theory that they can
not ascend sufficiently high to be out
of range of guns is without founda-
ton.
There are only two things at pres
ent which are retarding long-continued
high flights by aeroplanes." Mr.. Cur.
tiss said. The first thing Is the nerve
of the operator and the second the
fear that the motor will suddenly stop
or develop other troubles that might
make a quick descent from q high
elevation dangerous. As soon as the
motor trouble can be overcome the
nerve of the operator will be found.
THE aeroplane motor is still In its
experimental stage. II is not the fear
of meeting troublesome cross currents
of air in the highest regions that re-
tards high flying. The trouble is with
the motor. II has been lightened and
simplified to the last degree possible
by the elimination Of as many parts
as possible from the heavier and more
reliable motor as used In automobiles
and yet we expect II to show an
equally high degree of efficiency"

Mr.. Morrice Disappointed.

The action of the house in killing
the re-forestration bill was a deep dis
appointment to Representative J. l..

He has given much attention to the
matter, and had drafted his bill with
much care, after which he had can
vassed the house. explaining the pro-
visions. and seemed to have plenty
of votes to pass it on third reading.
When the roll call came, however, he
was deserted by many of those whom
he expected to stand by him, and the
veteran legislator was deeply disap-
pointed. The bill called for the with
drawal from sale of all state tax 'ands
and placed their control in the hTnds
of the state forestry commission which
was given authority under the terms
of the bill to use large portion of
it for forestration purposes, and dis
pose OF farming lands TO settlers.

Home RuIe Bill a Problem.

At last the great question of home
rule for cities provided by the new
constitution Is to be taken up by the
house. For over two months the COM
mittee on city corporations has been
endeavoring to get start in framing
of an enabling act that would allow
cities to go ahead and fix up their
charters. Delegations from various
parts of the state have visited the
capitol and begged for a chance to
get busy and Chairman Monroe who
has held down his job with credit
for years has racked his brain to dis
cover some plan that would be broad
enough to help everybody out OF the
hole. The mayor of Detroit has had
representatives OF the different cities
convene and council and Corporation
Counsel Hally of Detroit has finally
prepared bill which will be received
this week which is fondly hoped will
provide a scheme that will give the
work start In spite of the hopes
raised by Mr.. Hally's bill there are
many who believe that there will be
no satisfactory home rule legislation
this session and that a special will
have to be called as soon as whatever
law is passed can be reviewed by the
supreme court.

Regulate City Schools.

Representative Gray has introduced
an important bill intended to reor-
ganize the management of city schools
in this state. 1t provides that in cit
les of less than 10000 a school board
of five members shall be elected; in
cities over 10000 and less than So
900, the board shall consist of seven
members, and in the larger cities Of
the state, a board of nine members
shall be selected. Another section of
the bill provides that the boards of
education shall be elected at large.
The bill is intended to do away with
the present patchwork system under
which each city has its own system
of governing it's schools, and there
will undoubtedly be educational peo-
pie, representatives and citizens of va
rious cities here to discuss the sec
tions of the bill with members of the
legislature.
