.AIRSHIP GUST NAVY?
Aviator CurtiSs Declares Dread
naughtS Are Out of Date.
swarms of Light, Swift A~eroplanes
Will Replace Monster Battleshlps,
Dropping Their Terrible
Poison Bombs.

New York.-Glenn II. Curtiss, the
aviator, believes that the day of dread
naughts and monster battleships Is
past, and that by the time of the
next great war the huge Florida and
the other costly floating forts of this
and other nations will be useless.
Swarms of light. swift aeroplanes,
he say will replace the tardier, more
sluggish ships of the sea, and will
swarm like deadly insects over the
old-fashioned n%avies, dropping their
terrible poison in the shape of acid
bombs before the unwieldy men-of-
war are able to retaliate.
More than a thousand aeroplanes
can be launched for the price of a sin
gle battleship, he says,
Il was much interested in the
launching of the Florida the other
day." said Mr.. Curtiss, q heartily
subscribe to the preparations we are
making to defend our country from
all aggression. But | do not believe
that we are going about it in the
right way in view of modern condi-
tons.
"Battleships have been impressive
engines of war, but their day is prac-
tically done. 1t Is as sure as death
and taxes that the airship will super
sede the great floating structure of
steel with its immense guns.
Imagine, for instance, that a hostile
fleet is 20 miles off New York. Sup
pose ii consists OF some Of the most
powerful OF modern vessels, like the
Florida. Before 1t could begin to shell
the city, our feet of aeroplanes would
start from the New Jersey flats. Sup.
pose we had only 200 of them. Each
is able to carry 200 pounds of bombs.
Bombs were used in the South Al
rican war which weighed not more
than ten pounds. They were made OF
picric acid. There is nothing more
deadly.
The missiles can be hurled down
upon such a target as a war vessel
with great precision. Foreign expert
ments, carried on in secret, have dem.
onstrated that objects can be dropped
from a moving aeroplane and hit a tar
get within a radius of II feet.
During the day the a%eroplanes could
soar away at a great height. They
could be painted the color of the sky
Before the lookouts on the hostile flee
could discern the mosquito-like fiers
the aeroplanes could swoop down ana
blow the warships to pieces. Before
the ships could bring any of theil
clumsy guns into action, the aero
planes would be off and safe.
Before another year has passed
many nations will devote the millions
they are now spending ON dread
naughts in building fleets of aero
planes. 1t is inevitable"

Chicago.-Uplift Of the theater
through organized attendance on good
plays and non-support of bad ones is
the purpose of the Drama League of
America" which came into existence
the other day at a conference of rep
resentatives of women's clubs in the

'We do not purpose to fritter away

one of the promoters. Once a bad

PIE TIE KEY TO LONGEVITY
Hale Man of Ninety.Seven Names
Best Kind of Food to Eat to
Be C~entenarian.

Belleyille. Ill-The most remark
able nan in Belleyille. Benjamin
West, who is ~ninety-seven years old,
straight as a soldier and spry. has
given the world the secret of longev-
lty. Here 1t is: pie"
Any kind of pie will do as a steady
diet, from Washington pie to lemon
meringue, says Mr.. West. All kinds
are equally stimulating and helpful.
Mr.. West was formerly a merchant
in Belleyille. but he retired in 1884.
and has since lived in Minneapolis.
Twice each year he comes to Belle
vile to visit his son, Robert.
I'm going to have a centennial in
three years" he said while here last.
Rules of health? Well, | can't say
that | have any. I have just lived a
prudent life. | do not know the taste
of whisky or wine. When | was living
here | tried to drink beer. but didn't
like the taste of it and | guess | never
got enough of it in my system to hurt
me.
q never smoked, but | chew tobae-
co, not to excess, though-Just a eou-
pie of small ehews a day. | have
made it a rule to eat not more than
n pound of meat a year.
u eve miss my three big meals a
day. Next to pie | like vegetables
best as a steady diet. | am not a
vegetarian. but ! have proved in my
w az at least that vegetables are
the healthiest food. eat milk and eggs.
but like cabbage, beets, turnips, corn
and potatoes much better"
Mr.. West said that he had not been
i'll a day in years. AS a young man he
was sickly and it was predicted that
he would die before he was thirty.
At ninety-seyen his white hair is the
only indication of his extreme age.
He takes long walks every day and
carries a cane, not for the support,
but for style. He wears the frock
coat and the broad SLOUGH hat once
typical of the southern gentleman"
He was born in Virginia when Uncle
Sam was winning the 1912 pennant in
the championship series with John
Bull.

CHOOSE HUSBAND BY SCIENCE
English Professor Lectures to Girl
Students on Importance of knowl-
edge of Eugenics.

London.-How to choose a husband
scientifically was the subject of a lee
ture delivered to girl students of the
Bedford college by Prof. W. Nj. Inge.
A knowledge of e%ugenies. he said.
prevent girls falling in love with the
wrong men. But a frequent objection
made to the science of eugenies was
that It constituted undue Interference
with an individuals free choice in
falling In love and marrying.
ITO a certain extent" said the pro-
fessor, Il sympathize with that objec-
ton, but | do think a certificate Of
sound health should be n of the
things insisted upon before marriage.
The insurance policy is rarely more
important than the marriage settle
ment. Some knowledge of eugenics,'
he added, would in many cases pre-
yent falling In love with the wrong
people.
"Unconsciously. as 1t is. we are
much guided by eugenic considera-
tons. Generally, n mans attraction
for n woman is attributable to his fine,
and strong physique, and In the same
way the points of beauty in women
are those which belong to her WON
anhood. But some training in eugen-
les would enable n young man or
woman to detect those signs of degen-
eracy which are obvious to the seien-
tidc eye"
The professor boldly advanced 1t as
the duty of every beautiful woman to
marry. She owed 1t to the race. On
the other hand, people should not be
too serupulous. because physical
health is not everything and many
families physically defective are yet.
of great use to the community"
Physical degeneration In this coun-
try Is going on at an alarming rate.
Professor lnge believes. He went so
far as to say that If the process cor
tinued at It's present rate. In three
generations the English stock. which
a few years ago was one of the best
In the world, would be one of 1.-The
poorest.

POLICE STUDY DOGS
Successful Use of CANNES At
tracts Attention of British
Officers.
Great Britain Once More Following
Up In Rear of Her Continental
Rivals and Taking Cue From
Their Advancement.

London,-Great Britain is once more
following up in the rear of her cont.
mental rivals and taking a leaf from
their books. At last she is thinking
about it. That is, in the adoption of
the doggie policeman. The force num-
bers only one at present, and he, the
dog. is attached to the Berks constab-
ulary. 1t is a good many years since
Major Richardson of Harrow became
a dog trainer, his pack of ~bloodhounds
being a famed lot. 1t was Major Rich
ardson who trained the dogs which
did such good work by picking up
wounded soldiers on the battletields
of Manchuria and which helped the
Spaniards at Melilla.
Even before that both France and
Germany realized the possibilities of
trained dogs as auXiliaries to their
gendarmerie and police forces. In
Russia, too, the dog policeman is
known. A story just reached here
from Moscow about a dog known as
Tref, which is becoming a perfect ter
ror to evildoers. A number of bank
notes and other valuables had been
stolen from a Moscow gentleman
named Pokrofsky, and Tret's services
were requisitioned.
He was put on the scent of the
thief, and, after taking a %circuitous
route, entered a Fight shelter, making
straight for an cid coat belonging to
n 1ot,-a YIaJyt1r ufhn xro Ennugn nm
der the name of Alexander. The sum
of 500 rubles. which had been stolen
from NJ. Pokrofsky, was found in one
of the pockets of the coat.
That London is evidently thinking
about following the example of Berks
seems likely, as F. s. Bullock, one OF
the chief aconstables OF the Metropoli
tan police, has been yer in Paris
having a look at the kennels OF the pc
lice dogs at Montrouge. London wants
to know something about the use Of
those dogs before getting n of her
own.
In some of the fayorite burglary
districts, as they are known, such as
Hampstead, Ealing, Harrow and there
abouts, householders have not waited
for the Swearing in" of any dog con.
stables, but have acquired some OF
their own from Major Richardson
with very satisfactory results.
ut is no use having a dog that
won't bite" says Major Richardson
land these dogs, if they catch hold Of
q man will worry him lust like & rab
bit. The dog is held on a chain and
wears a specially contriyed muzzle
which prevents him picking mp poison
They can hear a sound 400 yards
further than a policeman, and il g
man is hiding in a garden they car
scent him out when a policeman
might pass him by. Their senses are
even more acute at night than by
day."

956 LIVE ON "a OF ACRE
Congestion of Tenement Districts OF
Boston Worse Than New York
Districts.

Boston.-Striking facts in I'LL
ton with tenement conditions in Bos-
ton are set forth in the report OF the
house committee of the Boston-lSl6
movement, which was made public
the other day.
1t tells, for example. of sections in
Boston where APT persons are housed
on a single acre, where ID to 20
adults live in one small dwelling or hat.
where kitchens are used as bedrooms,
dining rooms, laundries and living
rooms and all baths 7 taken in the
Kitchen sink.
The report was prepared by q CON-
mittee headed by Philip Cabot and
Meyer Bloomfield, the settlement
worker. and covers the conditions
found in four typical city blocks Sc
lected in the north and west ends, two
blocks in the south end and n block
each in South Boston, East Boston
and Charlestown.
Only eight assembly districts in
New York city, all but one of them in
the lower East side, had over 407
persons 10 luc dClS Wuoh lIO idhI
census was taken. Boston's tenement
section in the North and West ends
have. from the latest figures. a dem
sity of 427 persons for each acre.
Block No. 80. bounded by Prince,
Thatcher, North Margin streets and
Lafayette avenue is-so far as known
the most densely populated block
in Boston; it had, according to the
latest figures obtainable, $50 residents
on "a acre, living in houses averaging
3 2-3 stories high-310 persons per
acre per story. New York's most
crowded block has 1,672 per acre in
houses averaging 515 stories, or 304
per acre per story.
