Cost Of FLYING AeropIanes.

It Is estimated that the fuel and
oil costs of an aeroplane Of high pow
er run into about five dollars per hour
Of flight. In England there are from
one hundred and twenty to one hun
dred and fifty aeroplanes, and as each
machine is expected to do about two
hundred and fifty hours flying annual
ly, the significance of high fuel costs
will begin to be appreciated. 1t will
be measured by fuel and oil bill of
about one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars a year at retail prices. Those
who read the signs expect the rate of
increase of aircraft to continue to
one thousand aeroplanes, and many
dozens Of airships within the next two
years mean probably fuel and oil
bill of $1,250,000. 1t has been further
estimated that on the above SUPPOSE
ton Of development aeronautics may
be expected within two years to take
one-sixth part of the fuel consumption
Of all the motor-vehicles in Britain.
OF the total consumption, estimated
by Mr. Crftchley at about one hundred
million gallons year, it seems that
twenty million gallons are used by the
omnibuses and taxicabs of London,
while motor boats, motor cycles and
sundry users take 100000, so that
on this basis the 100000 vehicles In
England take 100000 gallons.

out as Katie when she carried the Hot
Coffee over to Dad every Noon.
When she got her first Chip Dia-

Dudeen to Cigars, she was known in
High School Circles as Katherine.
And when Pop got in on the main

in Paintings, the name went down on

Katie used to go to st. Joseph's

from vine-clad Institute overlooking
the historic Hudson and devoted to the
enclosing and polishing of the Fee

away with it, she began working the
Snuffer on all the Would-Bes back in
the Mill Town, and when she got

Father had to stick around because
occasionally the eight thousand Good

begin to burn with Wood Alcohol and
