FLAG-DIPPlNG SALUTE
TlME=HONORED CUSTOM

The salutation given when yes
sci lowers or dips" it's flag is one of
the very Oldest and most honorable
of all forms of marine greeting.
This form of salute has always
been demanded by English-speaking
seamen, and its exaction has burned
the hearts and the powder of gen.
erations Of naval commanders. In
the old days for a foreign ship,
whether merchant or naval, to enter
an English port without yelling top
sails or dipping it's national flag was
to run the risk of war, although the
profoundest peace existed. Without
warning or argument the shore de-
lenses or man-of-war would send a
round shot across the bows or be-

Such was the reception accorded by

century of the Spanish admiral who,

artistic son of Wagner, the artistic
grandson of List The Wagnerians
were, and still are, his chief oppo-
nents. They attack him with the same
weapons of abuse that were employed
against Wagner himself. To be sure,
Richard Strauss is occasionally a
poser-it is part of his profession
and when his disciples declare that
upon his shoulders has fallen the
mantle of the mighty Wagner he does
not deny the soft impeachment. But
his critics do not know that there
exists no longer a Strauss case, and
the cruel war is over. We know
where we stand with this bold, brill
liant musician. We know that while
he is not a second Wagner or Sec
ond List he is, nevertheless. a re-
markable apparition in art. His ver-
satility is amazing. He Is at home

BREAD AS VEHICLE FOR
CONVEYING DIPHTHERIA


At recent meeting of the
Academic de Medicine of Paris DR.
Rene Moreau, health physician at
Sens. reported a small epidemic Of
diphtheria, traced to common
source, a baker. who transmitted the
infection along with his bread some
times to persons whom he did not see.
This epidemic attacked eleven per-
sons and caused four deaths. 1t was
not restricted to a single commune,
but extended to three, at a distance
of from two and two-fifths to three
and three fourths miles.
This spread was all the more sur
prising since diphtheria is not fire.

1905. Although several bakers fur
nished bread throughout the affected
districts, all the patients without ex-
ception were. patrons of the same
baker, whose wife and son were the
first attacked. The woman had con-
tracted diphtheria when ON a trip to
district where there We're at the
time several cases of the disease
After the bread was taken from
the oven it was placed for a time in
the bakery which connected with the
sleeping-roon of the bakers wife and
son. Distinction of the bakehouse
and the houses of the patients put
q stop to the epidemic Although
this manner of spreading disease
may be rare, says The Journal OF
the American Medical Association, it

epidemic springs up among persons
who have no apparent mutual rela-
lions and when no other cause can
be discovered.

Aviation May
Develop New
Human Traits
Medical Authorities Believe
That Organs Essential for
Air Conquest Will Undergo
Evolutionary Process.

Aeronautics, o familiar subject
since the beginning of the twentieth
century. is usually considered solely
with reference to the ingenious mod
ern devices and meohanisms which
have made possible the aeroplane.
One rarely stops to consider the
peculiar demands made on the human
body in the field of aerial navigation
and the physiologic requisites for
successful conquest OF the air by
man.
In ballooning the limitations set by
altitude and its attendant involves
nent of respiration have long been
appreciated. In the modern pursuit OF
aviation, however. this ASPECT is only
one of many that involve the per-.
Torrance of the human machine in
the air.
We cannot expect man to fly by his
own efforts. The eminent Berlin
psychologist, Professor Zuntz, has
pointed out that the clew to the sue
cessful pursuit Of aviation is to be
sought in the domain of psychology.
Organs Determine Poise.
Whether 1t be in flying in a balloon
or in aerial propulsion with the aid
of motor. certain organs of the
body are of prominent Importance,
and their normal performance Is in
dispensable for success. One need
only recall some OF the features as
ISOLATED with the performance of the
organs of sense to realize how large
ly they determine the poise of the
flyer and his ability to attain equi-
librium and to adjust his balance
promptly.
The action of man is guided by the
senses. They bring directly to the
consciousness certain impressions
which control familiar movements,
such as walking, running, jumping
and other performances of skill and
dispatch Every one appreciates how
the unexpected sight Of something
horrible may alter the posture of the
body, how the body is automatically
arched backward when some obstruc-
ton suddenly presents itself to view.
May Lead to Dangerous Situation.
These natural movements to avoid
collision may lead to dangerous
situations if they are unconsciously
executed by an aviator whose hand
happens to be guiding the mechan-
ism of flying machine
The conquest of the air, says the
Journal of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION. requires not only the build
ing of machines which will f1v. but
the development of human machines
which can control them under en-
tirely new conditions. New indus
tries and new occupat tons have their
characteristic diseases. To this class
belongs the characteristic malady-
NAL des aviateurs-to which the new
est performances of aviation subject
it's devotees.
The conquest of the air has brought
problems that border on the field of
the Psychologist and physician as well
as on the domain of engineering.

atic) with a branch line to Janina;
go North Albania line; the route to
be followed by this line has not def
nitely been decided on.
In and near the town of Monastir
are steam flour mill. two tanyards,
three brickfields and two cotton fac
tories. The cotton factories are situ-
ated in the villages Of Dihevo and
Megarevo-Tirnevo. and produce large
quantities of gaitan (braid) and shay
ak (cloth). A large number of the
inhabitants of the district emigrate
annually to America and large sums
of money are RENTED by them yearly
to their relatives,
There is very little direct trade with
foreign countries, the wholesale
houses of Salonika buying up the
local products and supplying the
wants of the local merchants.
The town of Uskub, also called
Skopia, is on the River Vardar, 100
miles northwest of Salonika. 1t is all
important trade centre and busy in
dustrial town, the leather dyeing and
weaving industries and the manufac-
ture of metallic articles being repre-
scented. The estimated population is
5000.
The province or vilayet of Kos
sova, of which Uskub is the capital,
is purely agricultural, and the domi-
nant factor in the situation is the
harvest. In contrast to 1910, when
10, 600 tons of cereals had to be i'm
ported, the year 1911 saw exports of
70, 900 tons from the province. Fruit,
on the other hand. was poor-240
tons, against 1925 tons in 1910. The
area under cultivation for tobacco
increases steadily, the 1911 crop be-
Ing nearly 5000 tons.
For the import trade Uskub is the
natural distributing centre for this
province.

Contract-P rison Labor

sons he can reduce his price slightly
and sell his entire output, while his
competitors are either forced TO shut
down or to accept such trade as the
prison contractor may reject or be
unable to supply.
Three years after the panic of 1907
was told by manufacturers and
trade union secretaries that, during
the panic, when all factories were
running part time or had shut down
entirely. the prison factories all over
the country were still piling up goods
and dumping them upon the market
at any prices. There they heaped up,
stocking and overstocking the Job
bers' shelves, so that, when trade re-
sumed its normal swing in all other
industries, the market in all lines
affected by prison compeN1ion re.
manned sagnant for several years.
The east side had not recovered from
that panic even in 1910
And should you have a theory that
this cut-throat competition may blow
some good to the ultimate consumer.
by reducing the retail prices of prison
goods, it may be well to say az this
point that this never happens. To
quote a well-known economist-Pro-
fessor Meeker, of Princeton: Manu-
facturers do not, in fact, sell cheap
because they can make cheap. I
have yet to make the acquaintance
of Shoe manufacturer VINO sells mis-
shoes for 81 simply because It. cost
him only 81 cents to manufacture
then. Ee gets as high price as
possible for his goods, and he doesn't
advertise the fact that he has prison
made shoes 10 sell.''
If the consumer does not get the
benefit of the price-cutting he does
get all the danger of infection from
the prison product. The average
prison is a tubercular trap of the
most offensive type. 1t has been CAL
culated by DR., J. B.. Ransom, of
Clinton prison, New York-wllo is
generally regarded as the leading au-
thority of prison hygiene in the
United States-that every 100 men
who die in prison from 40 to 60 have
died of tuberculosis. And he de-
clares that every autopsy held upon
prisoner has given evidence of tu-
bercular infection. Yet, as a rule,
noobdy cares. Only q of the prisons
make special provision for the con-
sumptives. Altogether these have 500
beds for an army of consumptives es-
timated at $1,000. But the victims
themselves retaliate in their own
weak fashion. From their sweat
shops they send out under a thousand
disgusting labels, millions upon mil
lions of articles that bear with them
the possibility of infection.

COCAINE CRUSADE

The anti-cocaine crusade in greater
New York continues in active force,

any extent. and the coke" supply

GO TO CHURCH IN BOAT

Attending divine service in certain
parts of Finland is a social affair,
since the church boat is an institu-
ton in that northern possession Of
the car. That craft is of such size
that in some cases no fewer than 100
persons may be rowed to church at
the same time.
Twenty or thirty take the oars to-
gether. and it is deemed the proper
thing for every one to serve his turn
at them, since the church is frequent
ly quite a distance from the houses
of the parishioners. In the event
that the boat has a long distance to
travel, it is not unusual for a party
to start on Saturday night Then may
be seen the peasants going down to
the waterside in the evening, in or
der that they may be ready at the
time appointed. With them they car
ry little bundles, in which are con-
tanned their best clothes.
Service lasts some hours, and when
it is ended the women turn up their
skirts or more often take them off
and make up the little bundles again,
and the church boat starts for home.

since Berlioz and Wagner; his mas
terry of moods-poetic or descriptive,
ironic or Internal, pathetic or pas
sionate, quaint or capricious, bizarre

Wagner, he is extravagant in his
powers of expression, though he
hasn't as much to say. as much that
is as original or as profound as had
the first Richard. But he is a born
painter in tone and may, simply be-
cause of his prodigious productivity,
end in boring us, as did the fecund

The Macedonian town of Monastir,
which figures prominently in the Bal
kan-Turkish war, is a prosperous
trade centre eighty-five miles north
west of Salonika, In a basin formed
by lofty mountains and intersectel
by a river crossed by many bridges.

large amount of trade in wheat, to-
hacco, etc, grown in the district. and
manufactures OF gold and silver
ware and carpets. The population,
numbering some 10000, Is medley
of all the nationalities found in Mace
donia, about half of them up to the
outbreak of hostilities having been
Christians The seaport is Saloniks,
with which 1t is connected by rail.
According to the British consular
report the district of Monastir is an
agricultural one with few local IN
dustries. The grain harvest of 1911
was on the whole a fair one, being
some % per cent. better than that OF
the preceding year. Despite this 1911
was a poor year from a commercial
point of view, partly because of the
outbreak of cholera in the district
and partly because of the /Turko-
Italian war.
Surveys have been made by French
engineers for certain projected rail-
ways in the Monastir vilayet, which,
il completed. will greatly increase the
commercial importance of Monastir.
1t is expected that the lines will run
as follows: az Turko- Bulgarian rail-
