Aeroplanes and Zeppelins
In War

The fast aeroplane has rendered
the ordinary dirigible unsafe for
| daylight warfare. Most of the
| French and English airships and
some of the German collapsible
Parseval balloons have speeds of
about forty miles an hour. They
! are obviously at the mercy of a
fast armed aeroplane, because
of its greater speed to choose its
own position and pour in a de-
| structive hail of bullets. The great
! rigid Zeppelins alone can hope to
, contend with empowered aero
planes; for they have been so far
improved that just before the their
average speed was increased to
sisxty-three miles and hour. and
their'maximum speed, with the
wind, to ninety-four miles an hour.
Armed as they are with machine
guns and capable as they are of
rising to safe heigts twice as rapidly
as the highest powered aeroplane,
they must be regarded as veritab
battleships of the air.
But why are there both aero
planes and airships? For the same
reason that there are dreadnoughts
and torpedo boats. Each has it's
own function Aeroplanes are useful
chiefly for tactical reconnaissance.
in other words, for scouting after
armies have entrenched themselves
and unlimbered their artillery; air.
ships are useful chiefly for stratgical
reconnaissance, in Other words, for
scouting at time when armies are
moving toward the terrain which
they intend to occupy. Although
aeroplanes, guided by skifull pilots
of marvellous endurance, have
stayed aloft continuously for more
than twenty hours, the strain is
too great for ordinary human
nerves. Even a continuous flight
of five hours makes inordinate
demands on a pilots nervous force

SPECIAL TO THE RECORDER

SPECIAL TO THE RECORDER =
Washington, D. c., Oct 5, 1914.
FROM sources close to the Admin
istration comes the circumstantlal
report that representative Henry
D. Flood of Virginia, chairman OF
the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs, is to be named by President
Wilson as a delegate to the Fifth
International Conference of Amerl-
can States, which will meet in
Santiago. Chile, during the month
# November.
This conference is regarded both
in this country and in South and
Central America as the most i'm
portant thing of its kind ever held
because at tits time, when the
United States has its great oppor-
tunity tp secure unlimited trade
advantages with the other nations
Of this hemisphere, the Santiago
co lference is expected to devise
farreaching policies and methods
for the purpose of promoting such
commerce.
Not only Mr.. Flood will be asked
to contribute his time and ability
to this end but there will be with
him on the United States delegation
Associate astice Lamar of United
States s oreme Court; Frederick
W. Leila !, former solicitor general
Of the Depart ncnt of Justice John
Bassctt Moo Z, former Assistant
Secretary of tate; Henry White,
'ormer Ambassador to France;
senator William J. Stone of Miss
,uri, and the president of the
University of Nebraska.
The honor bestowed upon Mr..
Flood by the President comes as a
direct recognition of the work he
ras done i'll Congress as chairman
of the Committee on Foreign affairs
1t is only fair to say that the Virgl
MIA Congressman has done more
than anybody else in either house
TO promote peace between this
country and foreign nations. The
value of his services in this direc
ion is particularly marked at this
&ime. owing to the shocking wa
situation in Europe.
As chairman of the committee
dealing with our foreign relations,
Mr.. Flood has had 70 judge and deal
with dozens of bills and resolutions
which, if they had peen reported to
the house by the committee, would
have provoked violent and bitter
discussion in the house. Such
measures were introduced from the
very beginning of the Wilson
Administration down to six or eight
weeks ago. While they were put
in by gentlemen who thought they
were seeking inforation from the.
state department for oodporpose,
their adopti,n by the house would
would have made Wilson's famous
peace policy absolutely impossible:
1t was for this reason that the
President has come to consider
Flood as the Congressional watch.

Summer Sewing


The summer girl is making several
of the new net petticoats, either plain
or with a dash of hand embroidery
here and there. They are almost
without fulness. Some of them are
gored a little, so that they may flare
about the ankles, and are scalloped
along the lower edge and each panel
may show bit of embroidery. Some
of the panels may be put together
with a heavy lace insertion edge, with
a lace edge to match A huge bow
of contrasting color is fastened at the
right side with long ends sewn to the
bottom of the skirt and finished with
two smaller bows.
An inexpensive bathing suit can be
made from an old silk rain coat. Cut
the blouse and skirt from the good
parts of the raincoat and make the
boomers from mohair. Trim with a
bright braid, and make a tie and cap
from the rest of the coat. A rain
coat can be utilized by making sev-
eral waterproof bags in which to
carry slippers, towels or garters to
and from the beach
They are made in the shape of an
envelope and are half a yard -long
and nearly as wide. Bind all around
with tape and fasten with a snap. At
the top and at each end fasten braid
q yard long. This is convenient to
sling over the shoulder and carry in
that manner.

The misunderstanding

A girl whose name was Florence,
rented a furnished room for herself.
She worked at night and slept at
day. She lived in the room for two
years, she liked it and was very
happy.
One night as she didn't have no
work. she came home early. She was
surprised to find a coffee-pot on her
gas stove, while she always drinks
tea. Florence thought that the land
lady did 1t and was very angry, be-
cause she pays rent and somebody
else uses her gas. So she put kettle
of tea on her gas-stove instead of the
coffee.
Just as she did this a man came in
and said: 81 work all day and when
l want some coffee you take it down
and put tea on"
IT don't like coffee" said the girl.
What are you doing here anyway"
said the man, II rented this room"
What do you mean? | rented this
room for two years." said Florence.
"You are mistaken, Miss, ! rented
this room"
They had very big quarrel until
it became very late. Finally they
found out what the trouble was.
Florence rented the room, and she
only slept in the room at daytime,
and the man works at day and he
rented the room also, but he always
sleeps at night. That was why they
never met.
The Iandlady hearing the quarrel,
closed her doors and went away to
her sister and told her the story.
Florence and the man agreed to go
upstairs and ask the landlady what
she meant by renting one room to
| two persons. But they found she was
out.
The man asked the lady what town
she was from, and what were the
names of her parents. She told him
and they found out they were cous-
| ms but both had left home when they
were very little, so that was why they
| die not know each other.
Then they became great friends and
they got married. They then rented
out all Of their landlady's flats and
had plenty of rooms for themselves.

Perfume Popular Again

Perfume has not the best of reputa-
tons, but, nevertheless, it has its uses
and very dainty ones at that.
1t has simply fallen into dsrepute
because of the very lavish use that
was made of it for a few years.
Provided one is careful to remember
that the charm of a scent lies in its
ever elusive, almost evanescent, char
acter-that it should be so faint as to
be pereeptible only to ones subcon-
seriousness, as it were--a girl should
adopt one as her very own and see
that all her belongings receive their
share.
A delightful way of imparting
delicate scent to the hair is to let 1t
filter through In the form of steam.
1t sounds difficult, but it is not at
all.
Simply fill small bowl of boiling
water and pour some of your particu-
lar perfume upon 1t. The two liquids
will not mingle, but if you hold your
head over the bowl the steam of the
water will carry the scent with it and
through the hair in a most satisfac-
tory fashion.

Keeping the House Cool

To keep the house as cool as pos
sible a certain system should be fol-
lowed. The windows should be
opened wide about $3.50 or 6 o'clock.
When the sun has set and the side
walks have ceased to blaze so in
tensly they should all be opened,
every window in the house, and the
breeze should be allowed to circulate
freely through all the rooms. All
night they should be left open, unless,
of course, certain windows are d.
rectly on the street, in which case it
would hardly be safe to leave them
Unmatched, on account of possible
burglars.
Then about o'clock in the morn
ing, when the sun has risen, the
awnings should be lowered, the win
dows closed all but about eight
inches, covered by wet towels, and
the dark paper shades drawn down
to the opening.
This may make the interior rather
dark, but housewives will find that
the rooms will be many degrees
cooler. 1t is far better to live in q
dark, cool room than in bright, hot
room, at least in summer.

Father Dear had thought of
something pleasant. Dorothy could
tell by the way his eyes twinkled.
And once or twice he opened his
mouth as if to say something and
then closed it with great sudden

the same moment, clapping their
hands and crying:

Davie, clutching father Bears

two anxious faces and relented.

When a woman must remain at
home the greater part of the summer
she is entitled to the luxury of pro-
viding some pretty pickup work for
passing away the time. Most women
feel that they have enough plain sew
ing to do to avoid any unnecessary
labor, but the woman who can make
dainty trifles, crochet or knit or en-
broider, will find that the pleasure
of handling pretty things is very diff
ferent from hemming dieh-towel and
mending, for instance
When the hands are employed. the
mind is quieted and in this way a
great deal of pleasant labor can be
accomplished and the results laid
away for the inevitable bazars and
Christmas demands. for in the busy
autumn there is little chance for
handwork.
