advancement Of flying beginning with
the time when Prof Langley's machine
made short fight.
A special tribute will be made by the
aviators at College Park, Md, who will
fly from. their headquarters across the
country to the club grounds and after

CATION Is undoubtedly much less than
the actual loss from superannuation the
figures are sufficiently large to Justify
the Government in giving temporary aid
in putting the plan into operation. Ac-
cepttng the very conservative figures as
fieiency in the service which is due to
old age can be wiped out Immediately
and permanently in Washington by an
average annual expenditure during the

tained from approximation, If no plan
is adopted for avoiding it. The accom-
panying report shows further that the
suit from the adoption of the proposed
plan will equal, in the course of the
succeeding sixteen years, the entire cost
of inaugurating the plan.
Pensions Not Advisable.
II am firmly convinced that the pro-
posed plan is superior to any form OF
straight pensions. in that an employc
upon retirement at any time may avail
himself Of his savings with the accrued
interest, or his representatives may dc
SO in the event of his death. whereas
any form of pension or gratuity from
the Government must inevitably be con
sidered as a part Of compensation auG
is available only to those employees who
succeed in living to a given age. in re-
naming In the service to that age. anC
in living a sufficient time beyond thai
age to receive in pension payments the
value of their deferred pay Avoiding
therefore, the dangers and disadvant
ages of the straight pension, the pro
posed plan commends itself as salts
factory from the viewpoint of the Gov.
eminent and the viewpoint Of the em
ployes. 1t Is advantageous to the Gov,
, ernment, since the efficiency of the
service will be increased by providins
the meanu Of retiring those who have
reached the age of decline. 1t is ad
vantageous to the employees, since II
protects them from want in old age
with the least interference in their pri
vate affairs, and makes the service
more attractive to the younger employees
by facilitating promotions to higher
salaries and grades at earlier ages thar
Is possible under present conditions.
"A careful study OF the existing situa-
ton with reference to sHperannuation
and a consideration of the worse con-
ditions that will appear In the future
leads me again to commend the subject
to the earnest consideration Of the Con-
gress. l believe that the plan pro-
posed in the commissions carefully pre-
pared and exhaustive report is the best
that has been devised for meeting the
present and future needs OF the service
and, therefore, ! urge the enactment OF
the necessary legislation to put 1t into

GERMAN AIRSHIPS
CARRYING MAILS

BERLIN, Ger, June 25.-An inno-
walton has recently been made in the
postal department by which Zeppelin
airships are used to carry mails on
their cruises between Baden Baden,
Frankfort, Dusseldorf and Darmstadt.
The postcards are stamped with the
imperial aerial post" stamp, which Is
double the cost of an ordinary one.
They are collected from a special Of
flee, stamped on board the ship, and,
on landing, a specially appointed clerk
posts them to their destination from
an ordinary postoffice.
At present the aerial post is within,
being a novelty, and the stamps are
eagerly sought by philatelists. If, how
ever, as is predicted, the service Is to
become of practical use, the price will
have to be lowered and the stability Of
the dirigibles to be above reproach.
Herr Euler, Germany's first aero
plane pilot, is now establishing an
aerial post for cards. They are
stamped with the imperial stamp and
bear the impress of the Euler biplane
yellow Dog" The service is to be
carried out daily from Frankfort

John Henry Wagner. the greatest

Honus, who is one Of the best-na-
tured, biggest-hearted men in the
world, is understood only by those
with whom he comes into intimate
assication-his employers and his fell
low players on the Pittsburg club. He
is diffident and not given to ostenta-
tious display. He minds his own bus
mess and shrinks from publicity. On
this account he Is considered by some
as being a "swell-headed German" a
troublemaker and a pampered pet
whose every wish as regards his con-
nection with the Pittsburg club must
be acceeded to by his teammates and
by Manager Fred Clarke and Presi-
dent Barney Dreyfuss.

members of the Pirate organization
would do well to preserve silence on
