ships and aeroplanes and In most cases
the aeroplane Will win. although the
pilot commanding it may lose his life in
destroying the airship opposed TO him.
Bomb throwing will not do much
damage as far as l can see, for several
reasons. One Is that bombs of high
power. as would be needed for aerial at
tack, have not yet been sufficiently eX-
perlmented with to produce a reliable
type of bomb. and also the dropping APP
paratus is at present somewhat crude.
France, Germany. Russia, Austria,
Servia and England each has a strong
force Of military aerial reservists ready
to take the air as speedily as their con-
freres on terra firma. England has a
goodly number Of seaplanes, and I'm this
department, as Is only natural, she eX-
GELS other nations. A great number of
the hydroaeroplancs of Russia were
built by Glenn ii. Curtlss. the American
constructor.
Each one of these nations has In It's
service men who will stop at nothing
to achieve honor for their country and
to impress the general public with the
value of aircraft.

able to muster about 120 machines and
Great Britain and Belgium about the
same number.
"In the matter of airships. Of course
Germany Is UNNECESSARILY superior.
Germany must have gone to war with
at least seventeen airships, chiefly Yep

miles an hour France is the stronger
in second class airships.
"As to the German airshlps, we may
take It that. since they were designed

be used at the moment when they can
make the most dramatic impression.
"They will move at night and will

Effects of New Side Car Stop

n TO other change among the minor
NJ things of life in recent years
has so upset New Workers as the
near side car stop. The old far side
stop had been in effect so long that peo-
pie find it hard to accustom themselves
to the new rule.
Even the motormen sometimes make
mistakes. There have been instances
in which motormen have forgotten the
rule and driven their cars midway be-
tween the far side and the near side
before stopping them. Other motormen,
realizing their mistake too late to bring
their cars to stop at the near side,
have deliberately kept going until they
reached the next corner, where, of
course, they stopped at the near side.
Women are perhaps the chief suffer-
ers from the change. Apparently more
women than men walk jauntily to the
far side to wait for cars. The result is
that just when they prepare to board
the approaching car ii speeds past them
while the motorman indicates their mis-
take by a backward jerk of the thumb.
The waiting woman is usually so sur
prsed at the failure of the car to stop
that she remains motionless for a few
moments. Apparently she cannot UNI
derstand why the motorman of the dis
appearing ear has treated her so. Sud
denly II occurs to her that she Is stand
ing on the wrong side. She quickly
| changes her position, going over to the
| near side so as to be In a position &c

rlchshafen works, and plans for n dozen
more to be constructed at the Fried
richshafen and Potsdam works. This
last branch factory had just been opened
TO supply the pressing demand for more
Zeppelins for the army and may. The
Friedrichshafen factory's capacity Is
eight ships a year, but the demand from
the German Government, which de-
cided to have at least one aerial dread
naught for every place of tactical inn
portance, and the wrecking of the three
naval and military airships. the LII,
LIZ and I'll, made 1t necessary to estab-
lish another factory. These two fac
tories under pressure may turn out
six dirigibles a month.
To show the significance of a possible
aerial raid on London by these mighty
fighting machines some definite state
ments may be made about them Take
the three passenger carrying Zeppelins,
for instance, the Victoria Luise, Hansa
and Sachsen, which have now been
armed and equipped for war. These
three alrships are each close to 500 feet

long and are capable of carrying as
much as ten tons of merchandise. In
1913 they carried 1889 passengers
for trips lasting as long as five hours,
affording them service equal to that Of
Pullman cars. Together these airships
made SIC trips. The Niktoria Luise
made 400 trips. the Hansa 20 and the
Sachsen zoe.
Count Ferdinan Won Zeppelin, the
creator OF the Zeppelin, celebrated his
seventy-sixth birthday on July s, 1871 T.
This year marked likewise the sixteenth
year of activity Of Count Zeppelin in
constructing and developing the rigid
dir.glbes which bear his name. and the
launching of the twenty-sixth airship
constructed by him.
The Victoria Luise Is 1856 feet long,
459 feet in diameter, has three motors
totalling $50 horsepower, travels at a
speed Of forty-five miles an hour and
can carry a useful load of three tons
and navigate the air for forty hours
without stopping. Since its launching
in February, 1912, it has been making

business men stood up Tn a row and taught a lot of things by the farmers. The farmers of Arkansas are just about as well up on farming as the bankers and business men are on busl- ness, and can come a little nearer to teaching them, than being taught by them. In addition to this, it can be said to the credit of the farmers, that they as a class, are a reading and think ing people, and better informed about the functions of govern ment, Federal and State, than the bankers and business men, and this is said with no disre- spect to the latter.
 All this campaigning to teach the farmers how to feed them selves is gratuitous, uninvited and uncalled for advice. The lar mers are not such simpletons as to not know how to raise their own meat and bread, and corn, oats and hay, to feed themselves and their stock. They know how and they know the necessl. ty. What they want from the bankers and business men IS help to hold their present cotton Rcrop, and keep it out of the hands of the spectators. After the cotton crop gets out of the hands of the farmers 1t will do them no good for the price to go up. What the farmers need IS substantial help now in time ot need, and not a sluice of advice. It will be an everlasting dis grace if the banks of the South let the cotton get out of the hands of the farmers for want of financial help, and then fur nish the money to the speculat-

MALARIAL DISEASES,
How to Avoid Them and the &c., rious Consequences of Neg Iect.

''Fix me up something to knock the malaria, doctor" remarked a sallow- faced, siclly looking man, entering a prominent physicians office the other day.
 The doctor stepped to his medicine case, took down a couple of bottles, mixed a preparation which he handed to the patient with the customary advice to shake well and follow directions and resumed his seat.
 "Such cases are frequent, D replied the doctor in answer to a question: "The warm days and damp, chilly nights are certain malaria breeders and are most serious in those who have neglected to keep their stomach, liver and bowels in good condition. Such persons are full of the impurities on which the malarial germ thriyes, and it is from this class that typhcid fever, pneumonia, Bright's Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim most of heirvictims whenever these dis eases are prevalent.
 
 The proper way to guard against the malarial germ and the serious diseases which follow it is to get into good condi- ton by taking a reliable remedy that will keep the bowels clear and the liver healthy, and to continue with it at ire quent intervals during the sickly season.
 A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or four times week will do all of this, be- sides stimulating the digestion, improv- ing the appetite and keeping the bodily energy at the highest pitch.
 Prickly Ash Bitters is known every where as system tonic and bowel regu- iator. It not only removes all traces of malarial poison from the system, but tones up the vital orgaus, gives new strength and vigor, makes the body strong and the brain active.
 'Prickly Ash Bitters is the best all-around medicine for the family ever used. During the Whenever any of my family show signs of mala- ria, kidney trouble, indigestion or constipation a few doses is all that Is needed to make then well and hearty agafu.-W. H. McWILLrAM, Pickering, La

or with which to hold and hand le the crop and get the adyan- tage of the higher prices that may come later. The high sounding letters of advice to the farmers instead of substantial help. while well meant and con- scientiously given, is not going to meet the full expectations of the agricultural classes. They have asked for bread and been given a stone.
 A campaign is being organized to teach the farmers how to di- versify and feed themselves. No campaign has ben organized to furnish the money or means to the farmers to enable them to di- versify. It is money and credit the farmers need now, much worse than advice.

Farmer Gets Too Much Advice.

There has been such a flood of gratuitous advice to the lar nners from so many sources late " that the farmers are doubt less thoroughly disgusted. The great number of letters, clrcu- lars, posters, dodgers, interviews and public speeches from and by men who know less about farm ing than anything else, that have deluged the columns of the press for the past six weeks, has been enough to disgust the farmers with what they term "arm chair city farmers for all time to come. Following hard upon the recent Cotton Confer ence called by the governor and held in Little Rock, there has been a regular flood of advice to the farmers to diversity their crops.
 I hope the real farmers who farm with their hands instead of their mouths, so to speak, will have pity on the city fellows who have been giving so much ad- vice on diversification. Doubt less a good many of them who knew nothing about diversified tion thought the farmers were more ignorant than they were, which to my own certain knowl- edge is by no means the case.

The fund for the relief of MI

The fund for the relief of Mrs. James Payne and children, left destitute by the murder of the fearless officer who was the head of this family, continues to grow and is meeting with the ready and willing response of a sympathetic and appreciative public.
 Jewel Best had first taken up the relief movement, raising about $7O which was included in the list first published, except $500, donated by him, mention of which was accidentally omit ted. Mrs. Best has also inter ested herself in the children and has secured much help for them in the way of clothing, to which the public is appealed to assist. Letters and statements re- ceived show that the movement meets with the enthusiastic SUD- part of our citizens, one of which is published:

The ignorance of the average Prot
estant concerning the Catholic church
is gnerally pathetic, but it sometimes
devolves into the ridiculous, as was
proved by a letter received last week
by prominent Denver priest from
highly educated young Protestant
woman who is now in Rome. She was
greatly impressed by the External
City. and boosted of her apprecia-
ton of it because of her familiarity
with the Catholic religion. The priest
almost tore his hair when he read
the following, though:
I'VE saw many Jesuits. They were
very picturesque in their red robes"

day, "of an incident that happened
