Polish Women Say D. P. W. En-
plOyes Deprive Them of Fuel, Trad

Frank Aldrich, superintendent Of
street cleaning, felt like British cab
lret minister entertaining a delegation
OF suffragettes Friday morning. IL was
almost as lively for few minutes, and
the fact that his reception was held
IN the mayors Office added TO the ilIu-
SIGN. During the reception Aidrich had
no protection except one police SER
geant and reporter
His callers were women from the
Polish district surrounding the western
dumping grounds OF the department
of public works, out Michigan-ave.,
near the edge of the Eighteenth ward.
But the delegation did not demand
votes for women: its members only
asked for the wood that is taken TO
the dumps along with other debris.
Like the suffragettes, they received
consideration, and nothing more, al
though Aldrich will give some per-
sonal attention TO the evils they com
plain OF.
The city IL In the junk business at
it's dumps, gangs sorting out the rags,
paper, metal and bottles for sale. The
wood is not utilized by the city. But
the Polish families want that wood
very much. city ordinance pro-
vides that only the city employees may
work on the dumps up to o'clock in
the afternoon. Then the days pickings
are locked up and the populace may
scramble for the remains.
But we don't get the wood" dra-
matically exclaimed Mrs. Kate Bere-
sczek, who led the invading army.

Still another had a story to tell of
tie harsh way in which her boy was
threatened because he was found in
possession of sundry bottles which
might or might not have come from
the dump.
Supt Aldrich promised that he
would stop the clandestine trade OF
wood for beer. II he found that there
was such a trade, and would let the
Poles have free run of the dump and

work. Ray Mahon is foreman Of the

VESSEL OF ZEPPELIN TYPE TO FLY BETWEEN NEW YORK
 AND BOSTON.
SIXTY MILES AN HOUR
Melville Vaniman Proposes Aerial Liner to Be Built Before Spring. Fare Will Be High and
 Time Fast

Atlantic City, N. J., Nov. 30.-Mel- vile Vaniman, chief engineer of the Wellman aerial expedition, admitted he expects to submit plans for an enormous dirigible passenger carrying balloon to ply between New York and Boston. According to the promoters of the project America will have it's first intercity air line service within & year, probably within six months.
 President Charles J. Glidden of the Aerial Navigating company, the con cern which is promoting the project, asserts the line will include Philadel- phia, Washington and Boston.
 Passenger Service Next Summer.
 If the Vaniman design Is satisfac- tory, constrU ction of the dirigible will probably begin before spring, and the passenger service will be in full swing next summer. The aerial route sched- uled by the navigation company GOV CTS 45S miles, the greatest single stretch being from Boston to New York, 233 miles, which is to be made WllHOuI stops.
 The distance from New York to Washington is 225 miles, and it will be interrupted by two stops-one at Philadelphia, The dimensions of the new aerial liner have not been an nounced, but it will be about the same size and same type as the Zeppelin. An attempt will be made to construct balloon which can make sixty miles an hour. The Zeppelin ships have been able to make only forty to fifty miles an hour.
 The schedule of prices has not been announced, but 1t undoubtedly will be high. Fifty dollars was the cheapest fare charged by the Zeppelin balloon.

The Simplicity

The Overlands operate by pedal
control so the hands have nothing to
do but steer. One goes forward or
backward fast or slow, simply by
pushing pedals. A child can master
the car in ten minutes.
The Oyerlands are free from COM
plexities. A novice can run them and
care for them. One of these cars has
run 1000 miles without stopping the
engine.
In the Government Postal Service
Overlands have run Is miles a day

They are as faithful as watches. A
man who knows nothing about ma

The EGE-Eating Hen.

Some one wants to know how to keep
hens from eating their eggs. Having
had some experience along that line
| offer few suggestions: A deep nest
box. in which there Is only room for
the hens body, so that she cannot get
at the eggs when on the nest, and too
deep for her to reach the eggs when
standing on the edge of it, is a good
thing. The best nest box have used
is IA inches square and 8 inches deep
covered with G.inch door or opening
at the top Of one side
