DIES LIKE ROLAND GARR0S
Belgian Aviator Drives His Machine
Into AeropIane Of Foe and
Both Die.

Brussels, DEMONSTRATING the
heroic example of Roland Garros. who
which his little monoplane rammed
an immense German dirigible and
killed the 20 German officers and men
in 1t while he sacrificed his own life,
a Belgian military aviator gave his
life to take that OF a German who was
flying over the Belgian battle lines,
getting information for his army.
The German aviator was one Of the
flying scouts OF a column OF $4,000
troops who are trying to force a pas
sage across this country to attack
France from the north. When he flew
over the city of Liege. where a battle
was being fought. the Belgian airman
mounted in his aeroplane and flew to
meet him.
At first the avlators circled about
like falcons, but kept at distance
and fought a rifle duel. each trying
to kill his opponent or strike some
vulnerable part of his engine or pro-
peller.
Finally the Belgian, evidently fear
ing that his opponent might escape
him and carry back to the invading
army valuable information OF the
country. decided to sacrifice himself
to make sure of his enemy.
Abandoning his circular course. the
Belgian darted straight at his adver-
sary at top speed. The German. when
ne realized what the Belgian was
about, Owed toward the earth, but he
was too late. At terrific speed the
Belgian dived after him and struck
him fairly amidships. butting his plane

above the methodical German.
In personnel the Austrian fleet Is
heavily handicapped at the very start

German is no sailorman and never
was. The Hun is no better. AS a
consequence the Austrian feet Is
manned entirely by Italians and Dali
matians. Now the Dalmatian, while

He Is pure Slav, with as much love

Criticism Of French.
The French navy has come IN IN
the past for some very hard knocks
from the critics. Discipline in that
service has been declared to be Just
two jumps above the Russian stand
ard and approximating that of Spain.
Frances long series OF naval disasters
have been dragged out to prove that
her navy is all but hopeless affair.
AS a matter Of fact, the French
navy suffers from very much the same
trouble as the Italian. The Latin
doesn't maintain the Teutonic idea OF
discipline. but he seems to get along
very well on his own peculiar lines.
The French ships. like the italian,
are very near the dirtiest afloat, and
this in itself is apt to prejudice an
American critic.
But while, to our minds, dirt and
discipline are contradictory terms,
there isn't any conclusive proof that
dirt and straight shooting should be.
And the French can show a very
pretty article of the latter commodity.
Ashore they are handicapped by a
great deal of graft and slack methods
in their navy yards, but at sea the
French are not only good seafaring
men, but plentifully supplied with en-
thusiasm for their profession.
There are no, naval men in the
world who study their profession
along scientific lines with the zeal
the French put into 1t. Every one of
them has tactics at his fingers ends,
and in the torpedo branches, destroy
ers and submarines. they easily lead
the world.

Your Dollar Bill Has Shrunk
To 5l.4 Cents in Last 10 Years

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-The diff
dent dollar-the diffident, shrink
Ing dOllar-has just been nailed
In his backward tracks.
In other words, the high cost Of
Iiving-the reason why you cant
buy SO much now with the same
amount of money as fOrmerly-is
made plain as day.
The United States board of ar
bitration is In session i'm this city
to hear arguments from both
sides on the demand of 5000
trainmen of the Burlington rail-
road system for increased wages.
j. V. Ryan, statistician of
Washington, d. c., whose bust
ness it is to delve into the facts
and figures scattered so plenti-
fully through the national govern
ment's offices, NAILED THAT
DOLLAR.
He spent the best part of a day
on the witness stand. The figures
showing the relative purchasing
power of a dollar, he said, are
based on studies of the high cost
of living made by the government
and issued officially by the fed
eral bureau of labor statistics.
The Is principal articles of
food, on the cost of which the fig
ures are based, are sirloin steak,
round steak, rib roast, pork chops,
smoked bacon, smoked ham, lard,
hens, wheat flour, cornmeal, eggs,
creamery butter, potatoes, granu-
lated sugar, and fresh milk.
A table showing the steady de-
cline of the purchasing power of a
dollar from 1902 to August, 1913,
went into the records as an ex-
hibit.
1t shows the dollar was worth
its full value in 1902 and went up
slightly in 1908, when 1t was
worth 1901 per cent. In 1904 1t
went down to 99.4 per cent, which
rate 1t maintained through 1904,
but from that year on the decline
In value was steady.
In 1906, according to the table,
the dollar was worth 95.8 cents.
By 1910 1t had dropped to 72.5
cents. Following this IL took a
squirt in 1911, when 1t went up to
TAO, but it dropped again in 1912
to $50. In August, this year, 1t
had fallen to Ola.
Mr.. Ryan read into the record
his conclusions drawn from the
bulletin of the bureau of labor
statistics relating to the cost of
living. He said the figures showed
the annual approximate cost Of
the average workingman's family
for food in 1902 was $3.50. BY
1912, he said, the cost had ad-
vanced to $463 q year, an increase
of 1924 a year, or 1916 per cent,
more for food In 1912 than in
1902.
Incidentally, Statistician Ryan,
taking the Burlington railroads.
own figures as filed with the in
terstate commerce commission at
Washington, proved that the pro-
ductive efficiency of the Burling-
tons employees is GREATER PER
NAN now than in 1902, while
their EARNING POWER is LESS

SLIPPED NEAT
LITTLE JOKER
ON CITY DADS

r. p. Johns of the r. P. Johns
Lumber company slipped joker
bid into the council this morning
and temporarily blocked the be-
ginning of operations for the
building of the new steel smelter
on the city's property on the Mid
die waterway.
Johns came in and bid SIS a
year higher for the property than
the city had agreed to lease 1t for
to the steel plant. And under the
law the city is powerless to go
ahead on the steel plant deal.
Johns admitted he had no box
factory to put on the land, but
he was simply holding up the
city on making its deal with
the other people. He said he had
an inkling that the steel plant
was not bona fide.
Mr.. Casey of the steel plant,
however, has already ordered his
lumber and machinery for the
plant and is anxious to get start
ed. If Johns will not withdraw
his bid then the city will have to
readvertise.
The city is to get $937.50 a
year rental from the steel COM
pany, but 1t will be able to sell
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year
in electric Juice to the steel plant.
