HOUSING PROBLEM SOLVED.
City Authorities Own Nearly All Real
Estate In ulm, Germany.

Estate In UIm, Germany.
The German city OF Ulm, in Wurt-
temberg, an important manufacturing
city Of $4,000 Inhabitants, now owns
more than So per cent of all the real
estate in and around the city.
When the old Notifications were sold
to the municipality in 1902 the author
tiles seized upon the opportunity to
organize very liberal city planning
and housing system and decided that
Its vast Improvements should be made
on the sole condition that the city
treasury and not the former proprie-
tors should benefit by the great rise In
real estate With this end in view
the town council began buying up land
as early as 1891, and at the close of
the year 1909 nearly 1910 acres had
been purchased at n cost of 81 ,3S9 $40,
and of this 4O5 acres had been sold for
81 ,623, 1924, so that the municipality had
profited S234,2S4 and still owned sos
acres. In addition, the disused for
tress, covering 172 acres, was bought
for 1852. 900, and $685., 900 was spent in
purchasing houses in the old part of
the town in order to improve sanitary
conditions. In all, the city now owns
1912 acres.
The principal features in developing
the city were making direct roads
from the gates in the old wall to main
roads leading into the country, con-
Meeting the suburbs by new direct
thoroughfares with the city proper
and parceling out the land for all
kinds of trade, small industries and
dwellings for the people. The city it
self has built IT'S homes with 291 flats
for. 1 1867 inhabitants, and for these the
purchaser pays the net cost, 10 per
cent down and the rest at per cent
on mortgages, the city reserving the
right to take back the homes within
100 years at the original price if the
owner is unable to pay the interest or
if he subjects or wishes to sell it.
Besides this enterprise by the city,
several building associations have
erected houses for rental on land leas-
ed from the city and under its regula-
lions, the shareholders being limited to
4 per cent interest and the city being
obliged to buy the homes after seven
ty years at so per cent of the building
value. Rentals of dwellings are small
in amount in all cases.-Boston Globe

the United States, of all the great pow
erS, has the poorest aerial equipment
for war purposes. The reputation
gained by our governments being the
first to recognize officially the heavier
than air machine for military purposes
has been lost because of later failure
to take advantage of it's opportunities.
The French military authorities have
more than 100 aeroplanes in actual
use, and with the orders to be filed
their equipment will exceed $50 mono
planes and bipIanes of various manu-
facture before the end of the year.
The German war office, realizing
that it must try to keep up with the
French, supplemented its excellent
feet of dirigibles by laying in supply
of heavier than air machines, with the
result that Germany now has about
Seventy-f1ve, for which army officers
have been trained in secret. Before
the end of the present year it is esti-
mated that Germany will be in pos
session of at least 100 for actual mill
tary service.
Not to be outdone by the French and
Germans, Russia has already begun
the expenditure of $4,000 900 in secur-
ing a fleet of machines and in train
ing officers in France and at aviation
schools established in Russia. 1t is es-
timated that by the end of December
$50 aeroplanes will be available for use
i'll connection with the Russian army.
England is little better off than the
United States, for she has twelve aero
planes with which her army and navy
may experiment.
European air men marvel at the slow
ness of the United States government
in the matter of military. aviation.
They point out how defenseless forti-
fed cities would be against a number
of aeroplanes dropping bombs of high
explosives. Not long ago n French
military aviator amused a number of
Englishmen and Americans by describ-
ing the effects of an attack from the
air by a fleet of aeroplanes flying the
French flag over London or New York
city. He insisted that something more
than mere Imagination was behind his
description. Brooklyn bridge and the
bridges over the East river would be
among the first things to be destroy
ed, while the subways and elevated
tracks would soon be put out of work
ing order, the fire department would
not be able to respond to all the alarms
sent in, and the inhabitants of the city
who remained after several hours
would submit to any terms to secure
peace.

They Do Work of tn. Women.

Among some of the American Indian
tribes of the southwestern United
States. says a writer in Wide World
Magazine, there is curious custom of
men occasionally assuming the work
of women as life occupation This.
when it occurs, is voluntarily under
taken and seems TO be due to n pref
erence for feminine labors, the man
sinking his identity as far as possible
by assuming woman's garb. Pueblo
Indians of Zuni, N. NJ, do their share
of the regulation woman's work in the
household of which they happen to be

BITS OF PHILOSOPHY.

Few men like to be decorated with
the NEEDLE of their neighbors
In argument, unlike aviation,
great many men are not finally landed
until they go up in the air.
The man who writes gloomy poetry
is something like the farmer who used
a harrow for a reaper.
Some men refuse to open the door
when opportunity knocks because they
SAY she does not belong to their set.
If men would only realize that the
wee small hours are no wee-er or
smaller than the others they might
turn them to better account.
1t is foolish for men to bemoan an
unmendable lovers quarrel. A girl
who will not patch up lovers differ
ence will never darn husbands sock.

AMERICAS DISCOVERY.
Nansen, Arctic Explorer, Places Date
500 Years Before Cabot.


500 Years Before Cabot.
Fridtjof hansen, the arctic explorer,
has raised the question of the discov-
cry of America and placed the date
some 500 years before Cabot. The
Norsemen. said Nansen, were the
great pioneers in crossing the ocean.
Before their days all navigation had
been more or less coast navigation,
the sailors sailing chiefly along the
coasts from place to place and never
venturing very far from the known
land The general idea of the world
was that it was an island surrounded
on all sides by the sea, beyond which
was the darkness of the unknown.
The Norsemen destroyed by their dis
coveries these learned ideas. In their
small open vessels they sailed across
the outer ocean and found lands be-
yond.
The Morse Icelanders, led by the
Morse chief, Eric the Red, discovered
Greenland and founded two settle
ments on its southwestern coast in
the end Of the tenth century. 1t SEEM
ed probable that not very long after
this weather beaten seafarers from
Greenland had discovered lands still
farther toward the west or, rather,
southwest. The Icelandic literature
contained remarkable statements about
such countries, says the New York
Sun. They were called ''Hellulandr
(slate or stone land, MARYLAND"
(woodland), "Furderstandir'' (marvel
strands) anc ''Wine1and the Good"
Yet another, which lay west Of Ire
land and not far from Wineland, was
called "Hoetramannaland" (the white
mans land), or Great Ireland" Al
though some of these countries were
legendary, it must be regarded as GER
tain that the Norsemen reached some
of them which lay on the northeast
coast of America. And they thus dis
covered the continent of North Ameri.
ca about 500 years before Cabot. The
story Of the discovery of Wineland,
according to what We're considered to
be the most trustworthy accounts, was
that some time after Greenland had
been discovered by Eric the Red and
tho Norsemen had settled there, about
9S5, Eric's son, Lief, sailed to Norway
from Greenland, it YVES said, in the
year 500. This was the first time
voyage straight across the Atlantic
was mentioned in literature.

Nowhere in the world are unconscious

BILE fisher folk of Newfoundland The
seas that wash its coast line have Bred
in them the qualities of daring and
courage almost to recklessness, and the
Newfoundlander faces the peril of the
billow and ice foe with an indiffer-
ence born of contention with these ele-
ments from early boyhod, according to
the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Stern and bleak and wild is this
lonely fortalice of the northern seas
as viewed from the waters, though in
land it is richly lowered with natural
beauties. Not alone is it aptly design
ed for its purpose as the warden of the
waters, but the ocean deeps beyond
the coast are blocked with teeming
masses of fish that nowhere else can
be equaled and that centuries of per-
sistent marrying by every nation in
western Europe has failed to appre-
ciably diminish, not to say deplete.
When Cabot in 1907, westward bound
into the vast expanse of unknown
western ocean, found this inlet lying
across his course he named it 1.-THE
New Founde Lande."
The descendants of west country
people are today the largest element
in the population of Newfoundland.
West country terms are in common
usage, west country names are to be
found everywhere, and the language of
i- i0h flo
west country accent and the west
country idioms.
In time the Irish also made their
way to this coast Driven from the
''old sod when penal laws sent legions
of the hapless Celts to bleach their
bones in foreign lands, Newfoundland
was the nearest to their own loved
country, and they sought to make a
new Ireland of it They came in such
numbers that early in the last CEN
fury they were the largest element in
its population.
The influx of English and Irish con-
tinued until about 1850, when the open
ing up of the great west tempted them
there, and for the past half century
the tide of immigration has passed the
island by, and it has no reserve but
its natural increase. Thus it has gone
about that the colony had developed
a new type of people, the product of
this British occupation, the virtues of
the combination being unimpaired by
other breedings, for the population is
absolutely from this stock.
Poor they may be in the worlds
goods and frugal and toilsome their
lives, but in the manly elements-cour-
age, industry, energy and reliance
which enrich a people or a country,
they are generously lowered indeed.

Admiration and Terror of Natives.
On his first appearance Captain Plaz-

After passing over the ships of the

The Arabs regarded the flight with

Neither the artillery, the ships nor the
masses of men disembarked had pro-
duced as much effect on the natives as
this aerial flight.
A description of scouting and bomb
dropping shows that they are not with
out danger to the aviator. When the

far as he can with reasonable safety
1t is his business to act as dispatch
rider between the air man and head
quarters. The aviator, having Scr1b-
bled his notes, makes a rough package
OF them and drops them as nearly as
possible at the cavalryman's feet
Then they are picked up and carried to
their destination, while a second horse
man takes the place of the first. Thus

man, who is kept in close touch with
his commanding officer.

United States army officers are de-
lighted with the results of recent ex-
perimentS at Sandy Hook, in which
the old fashioned twelve inch mortar
proved an adequate defense against
war balloons and aeroplanes. Since
the introduction of the aeroplane into
the war game the question of defense
against this method of scouting has
been widely discussed by officers of
all nations, and extensive experiments
have been made in Germany, France
and England with varied success.
Colonel Brine hit upon the idea
that the mortar would be more effec
tive than the more modern long dis
lance rife. He sent his suggestion to
General Crozier. chief of the ordnance
department in Washington. 1t is said
General Crozier and General Allen,
head of the signal service corps. were
inclined at first to ridicule the idea,
but so earnest was Colonel Brine that
he got permission from his chief to try
the plan.
Put Balloons Out of Business.
Experiments began at the Sandy
Hook proving grounds some weeks
ago A shell filed with shrapnel and
Ounn1Ce or some OLneE powerful eN-
ploSive was used. Such Il shell would
spread destruction over n large area.
The first tests were made with small
captive balloons. The average of hits
was unusually good even at high alti-
tudes.
The force of the explosion proved
sufficient to put the balloons out of
business even when the aim was not
entirely accurate.
Harder tests were tried with liber-
ated balloons, some of which flew over
the mortar pits at high speed. These
tests also proved surprisingly success
full. Now will come aeroplane tests,
the government feeling that the ex-
pense is well justified
Part of the credit must go to Hiram
Maxim, Jr., whose suggestions have
been great aid to Colonel Brine and
Major Hoffer. The experiments made
| by the German army were with the
modern high power rifle and rapid fire
gun. As the old fashioned mortar may
receive a much higher elevation than
the modern field piece or siege gun.
the fire of the latter weapons cannot
be so effective. it is held Officers at
Governors Island said they believed
the Sandy Hook experiments would
mean the discounting of airships as
| effective instruments of war;
