gun supposed to be mounted on the
balloon.
As a matter of fact, however, only
three or four of the very latest Yep
pelins are equipped with these gun
platforms and, furthermore, it is
learned on good authority that none
of them is mounted with guns, for it
is now known that if there were I.
leak IN any of the chambers of the
gas 5ag near the middle portion of
the dirigible, the escaping hydrogen
would find its way out near the gun
platform and would be most certain
to explode when the gun was dis
charged.
1t is now believed that the explo-
sion. several months ago, of the new
Zeppelin at Johannisthal, near Ber-
lin, when the entire crew were killed
was caused by the gun on top firing
blank cartridges as an experiment.
1t is therefore comparatively d sin,
pie matter, in the absence of a gun,
for an aviator to approach quite close
to Zeppelin from above, for the
crew in the cars below the gas bag
cannot hit the aeroplane so long as
the pilot keeps the envelope between
himself and the cars of the Zeppelin
The knowledge of this fact probably
accounts for the absence of reports
of German airships flying over
France, while the German balloons
have been seen much over Belgium
France has huge corps of expert
aviators and areoplanes of the high
est efficiency while the Belgian avia.
tion corps is so small that it hardly
counts.
While Germany has been the es-
pecial sponsor of the dirigible fo,
military purposes, that country has
not overlooked the aeroplane. While
France has popularity been supposed
TO lead in war aeroplanes, Germany
has as many as 1900 of these ma
chimes, and perhaps the largest

These 1900 machines are all CON-
paratively new and with all the latest
improvements. With one motor firm
putting out 140 aero engines a month
for the last six months, one may safe
ly put the entire German output at
$50 month. With an aeroplane fol

tary aviation activity breaks all rec
ords.
The number of plots to fly these
machines is greater than the aviation
corps Of any other nation because
of Germany's policy of encourag ging
civilian flying schools. Under this
system, each aeroplane firm of any
Importance had certain number of
soldiers, mostly officers, but some
privates and on-commissioned Off
GERS, allotted to its school to be
trained by the firms own pilots.
The training of aShase military fly
ers was paid for at rate that en-
iabled the companies to use the best
machines and pay high wages to their
pilots. The firms could afford to pro-
vide comfortable quarters for their
pupils and in other ways to do things

In order to stimulate progress in
aviation, military aviators were en-
couraged to enter the big flying COM
petitions and various government de-
rsHtments gave handsome prizes. For
this reason there were thirty starters
in the Prince Henry competition this
year, while the big London-tc- Man.
chester air race in England about the
same time brought out only six start
ers.
1t is now practically certain that
the German and Austrian air scouts
together outnumber all the French,
Russian, British, Belgian, Servian and
Dutch aviators, so that in the aerial
end of the war Germany is far ahead
of her enemies.

The story of the ramming of a

a story which yet lacks confirma-

from the idea that a Zeppelin cannot

FOOD PRICES ADVANCE

| Hostilities abroad are likely to
cause nearly all lines of American
raised food products to show an early
upward tendency in price.
Some people claim that beefsteak at
a dollar a pound is not beyond a pos
s.bility should war between the Euro
pean countries continue six months.
Fortunately for most of us, from a
HEALTH as we'll as from a FINAN-
CIAL standpoint, there are other foods
that furnish as much or more utri-
ment than meat, and at much less
cost.
Oatmeal, when properly prepared
and rightly cooked, is one of the very
best substitutes for meat; and it is
comparatively inexpensive as against
the cost of meat at present prices.
But all Oatmeals are not alike; far
from it. Some brands are much better
than others. For instance, H-O OAT-
MEAL, which is made from selected
oats, carefully prepared, properly
cooked, and packed in air-tight germ
proof packages.
H-O Oatmeal sells at Fifteen Cents

it is better than other Oatmeals.-Adv.

JESSE PCMEROY HAS
SPENT 3S YEARS IN CELL
tBy United Press Associations,

(Rv United Press Associations
Boston, Sept. 5.-Thirty-eight years
in solitary confinement-that is the
record of Jesse Pomeroy, perhaps the
most famous prisoner in the United
State. Pomeroy was first sentenced
TO prison when a boy of 16. He was
convicted of tortouring and murder
ing children younger than himself.
After some months he was liberated.
The evening Pomeroy gained his
freedom Boston was mortified with
series of child murders. In each case
the victim had been subjected to
unspeakable mutilation and torture be-
fore being put to death. Pomeroy
was charged with the crime. He was
convicted and sentenced to life inn
prisonment. Since that time his
mother, now a bent old woman, has
formally appealed to every governor
of Massachusetts, for pardon. She
has visited him every month since his
Incarceration in Charlestown peniten-
tiary since 1872. Every warden of
the prison since that time has an
nounced that he would, on assuming
his duties, ''give Pomeroy chance
by removing him from solitary con-
finement. Each warden has tried in
innumerable ways to Twin Pomeroy

Pomeroy had taken advantage of kind

! Pomeroy is never permitted to see
anyone but mis- mother, the warden
and the governor of Massachusetts.
He is not known to have spoken a
word to anyone excepting his mother
ir the past twenty-five years. He has
read every book in the big library of
the prison, and has studied law. He
is permitted an hours exercise in the
prison yard in company with the war
den every day if he wants it.
Sometimes he goes for weeks without
leaving his cell.

nearly successful in sensational at
ltempts at escape. Several years ago

for escape, if he was overcome with

steel, however, a spark ignited the
gas and the cell was partially
