Building Trunks for Flying Machines

Probably the biggest trunks ever built are four
which were made to order about year ago by
New York manufacturer and which were de-
signed to carry aeroplanes.
There were two OF these flying machines. both
monoplanes. and to carry them there built
four giant trunks trunk for each flying
chine body. trunk In which the four wings,
each divided into two parts. packed. and
fourth trunk In which slowed four pro-
pellers.
Each of the body trunks s SO feet long by about
IS inches square. The trunk for the wings is 25
feet long and ~ feet asoad at one end and feet
broad at the other. while the trunk for the pro
peers is feet long

SEVEN WAYS OF REDUCING THE

Frank w. Blackmar. dean of the Uni

cutting the high cost Of living:
Let the government check the de-
cline in the purchasing power of gold
by taking. automatically, seigniorase
Of the bullion that Is behind the dollar.
thus leaving the value Of the dollar
stable. and allowing the weight to
rise or fall in correspondence with the
rise and fall OF average prices.
Induce. if possible, more people to
engage in the production of raw ma
terial.
Introduce scientific. intensive agri-
culture in order to double the produc-
ton per acre.
Revise the tariff by a scientific
treatment which will eliminate present
evils
Prevent as far as possible organiza-
lions from advancing prices arbitrar-
lily. Place a maximum limit to prices.
il necessary.
Introduce simpler and less expen-
sive methoGs of bringing the commod-
ity to the consumer.
Finally, educate people in the pTin-
ciples and habit OF true economy, thus
doing away with extravaganza and
waste"
The las. rule is the best, although 1t

but the cost Of high living. False
