New York.-An interesting picture of
the possibilities of the aerOplane, the
hydroaerOplane and the dirigible in the
European war was given by Glenn Il.
Curtiss in talk at the Aero club.
The aviator asserted that the utiliza-
tiOn of the flying machine TO the best
advantage will be the great problem Of
the conflict
Mr.. Curtiss~-said the aerOplane had
already proved its worth in warfare
and cited the expenditure of approx
mately S1OO,OOO,OGO by European gov
ernments for military aviation.
Only England and Frances he said,
have given the world any good idea
of their aerial forces Germany long
ago ceased to give out such infOrma-
tion, while Russia has never been com
municative on the subject
Suppose, for example" Mr.. Curtiss
continued, "a German army advancing
on a French position. The German
commander sends his aerial scouts
ahead to find the lay Of the land, the
number and disposition of the defend
ing forces. If he alone had flying ma
chimes the result would be simple. A
few hours would give him accurate
first hand information regarding al
most every detail of the French align
ment.
But the French, too, have air scouts,
and they not only object to the recon-
noissance of their arrangements, but

Social Career

Mrs. Trumbulls social aspirations
were, as rule. the source OF much
flippant Joy TO her husband. II was
only when Trumbull himself was
called upon to shine at dinner parties
or disport In drawing rooms that he
ceased to consider In the light Of a
joke hiP wife's desire to set her small
feet firmly upon the next higher rung
OF the ladder.
The cream Of the joke looked to him
particularly pale and blue the evening
she announced triumphantly that Mrs.
Fulton, the one wealthy woman OF
their acquaintance, had invited the
Trumbulls to sit in her box at the
opera the following Thursday evening.
I'm perfectly willing for you TO
spend your nights and Sundays pursu-
ing the arlstocracy 10 it's lair" pro-
tested Trumbull. but you know I'm
not a parlor pet. I'm all right as a
means of support, but I'm sure 10

the society act. Can't you so alone?"
Mrs. Trumbull set her lips. THAT
would be impossible" she said. But,
of course, II you don't want to go l
can tell Mrs. Fulton that you have a
business engagement that will prevent
our going"
It was not until her lips began to
quiver that Trumbull realized how
much it meant to her. He promised
to so.

THE QUESTION OF
OHIO'S HIGHWAYS
Should They Be Improved by
the State,
Assisted by the Counties, or BY
the Counties UnasSIsted by
State-TwO Systems.

ohio's public road syste2 com.
prises a total OF approximately $4,000
miles, outside Of municipalities, OF
which amount about $4,000 miles are
classed as improved" leaving about
81 500 miles to be improved. The
principal roads OF the state are des-
ignated as 'intercOunty" roads, and
these make up about 9,400 miles, or
II per cent Of our total road system.
Having in mind the necessity for the
immediate yepair of the main arteries
of the state. the general assembly of
1913 designated about 2,400 miles Of
the inter-county system as main
market roads, and provided funds for
the construction, maintenance and re-
pair OF the whole tl.ldgh the pass
age Of the so-called "Hite-Hudson"
half-mill levy law.
It was estimated that an annual
levy of one-half Of one mill on all Of
the taxable property of the state
would produce about S3,500,000 an
npally, and it now appears that this
estimate was very nearly correct.
It was proposed to supplement this
by an equal amount from the various
counties, making a total of seven
millions of dollars available each
year for purposes Of highway i'm
rrovement, maintenance and repair.
Seventy-fve per cent of the money
raised by the state, the Hite-Hudson
bill provides, shall be expended un.
der the provisions of the law Great
ing the inter-county system, which
means about $4,000 of state aid to
each of the eighty-eight counties each
year.
In Smaller Counties.
The general assembly recognized
that certain of the less populoui
counties of the state might not be
able to meet the states 1000 with
an equal amount, and provision is
made that in such a case the state
highway commissioner shall then ex
pend the full share of that county in
the improvement of its more i'm.
portant inter-county roads. The re.
mainder Of the funds raised, 25 per
cent, are placed in the state treasury
to be expended in the improvement of
the main market" roads. 1t was the
intention Of the general assembly
that these main market roads-the
principal thoroughfares of the state
should be built by the state without
contribution from the local authori.
ties. Some of the counties have been
so anxious to obtain a share of this
fund that they have put up dollar for
dollar, and, in some instances, three
dollars for one, for all market road
money spent on their work. Before
leaving this phase of the subject, it
must be borne in mind that none of
the money derived from the half mill
levy law was available until this
year. The only other funds devoted
to highway improvement come from
the annual tax on automobiles, which,
this year, amounts to about $550,000.

priations for road improvement, at

The night OF the theater party the
weather turned cold. Trumbull, In
blissful forgetfulness Of the festivity,
entered the house in a whirl Of snow
and icy wind.
"Is that you, dear?" cried Mrs.
Trumbull from upstairs, where she
was futtering about getting Trum-
bulls evening regalia ready for him
to put on.
Yep" responded Trumbull, follow
ing the sound Of her voice up the
stairs.
His face fell when he saw the
clothes lying on the bed. "Ohl" he
calculated in a voice from which all
Joy had fed. I'D forgotten this was
the evening Of the blowout" He shiV-
cred audibly. IT'S an awful night"
Mrs. Trumbull tripped over to the
dresser and began a search for his
tie. 81 ordered a taxi" she said,
cheerily. TITS to be here promptly
at a quarter to eight"
In the taxicab Mrs. Trumbull
looked at her husband in undisguised
satisfaction.
You'll be the best looking man
there" she purred. 81 don't care il
Mr.. Fulton's ancestors did come over
with the pilgrim fathers and If they
do have a butler and five maids and
a governess, he's nothing but {. little,
dried-up shrimp. Anybody seeing you
two together won't hesitate a minute
about selecting you as the one with
the money"
The spontaneity Of this wifely trib-
ute pleased Trumbull. He even grew
less sleepy under the enlivening lnfu-
ence of her honeyed words. How
ever, this didn't prevent his having a
feeting wish as he seated himself in
the chair just behind his hostess that
he had had another strong cup OF cof-
fee. OF course he wasn't really
sleepy, but a cold wind always gave
him a queer feeling.
Mrs. Trumbull, glancing at his big,
well-groomed figure and his clever,
good-natured face, and now and then
catching the low, well-bred tones Of
his voice, felt that 1t would take very
little more to make her sinfully proud
of him. Every interested glance cast
up from the seats below them sent
thrill Of delight through her.
She was fairly radiant.

Trumbull's head had fallen to one
side, his eyes were clesed, his mouth
was open. A sound closely resembling
the distant rumbling of a railroad
train came from his parted lips. From
a rumble it quickly grew into a svery
good imitation Of an automobile horn.
Higher and higher it rose, until the
startling crescendo broke in a fierce,
choking leviathan Of snore!
The host jumped to his feet with
the obvious intention Of rendering
first aid to the injured. The hostess
gave sharp, quite involuntary shrek.

If we face due south on any of the tariy evening hours during April we are at once attracted by the great constella- ton Leo, which We now see crossing the meridian more than one-half of the way from the southern horizon to the zenith. This beautiful group was much less con- spicuous early in the year, partly because 1t was then nearer the ground and part iy because our attention was drawn to the bright winter stars which then filled the southern heavens. We now see these latter consultations crowded together in the western and southwestern sky; they are rapidly withdrawing from our even Ing heavens and will soon be lost to sight In the suns rays.
 The April Stars
 High overhead and filling all the region of the sky about the zenith, we now see the Great Bear, that very large constella- tion of which the well known Great Dip per is only a part, and now, too is the most favorable time of the year to search out the little known groups of the Lynx, the Lesser Lion, the Maiden's Hair and the Hunting Dogs. These interesting but faint little constellations all lie along the southern border of Ursa Major, the Lynx being farthest west and the Hunting Dogs farthest east. Below the last is the great constellation of Bootes. the hunter, who leads his two dogs, Asterion and Clara, in a Leash of Sidereal fire" Asterion, at A, Figure l. is beautiful double star, the components being described as of flushed white and pale lilac colors, re- spectivey.
 These fainter groups are indeed filled with objects of great interest to the pos sessor of a moderate sized telescope. At the point D, on a direct line between A and the great Arcturus at c, there is a beautiful globular cluster of stars which must number many thousands. but which cannot be counted because near the cen ter of the cluster they merge together In a uniform blaze of light.

What So Precious

Every Youngster Can Have Fine Digestion if Given a

In spite of the great personal care and the most intelligent attention to diet babies and children will become constipated, and it is a fact that con- stipation and indigestion have wrecked many a young life. To start with a good digestive apparatus is to start hfe without handicap
 But, as we cannot all have perfect working bowels, we must do the next best thing and acquire them, or train them to become healthy. This can be done by the use. of a laxative. tonic very highly recommended by great many mothers. The remedy Is called pr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin and has been on the market for two generations. It can be bought conveniently at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar a bottle, and those who are already con- yinced of its merits buy the dollar size.
 It's mildness makes it the ideal medi- cine for children, and 1t is also very pleasant to the taste. It is sure in it's effect, and genuinely harmless. Very little of it Is required and its frequent use does not cause it to lose its effect, as is the case with so many other rem edies.
 Thousands can testify to its merits in constipation, indigestion. biliousness, sick headache. etc, among them reliable people like Mrs. James R. Rouse, of Marinette, Wis. Her little son Howard was fifteen months old last April but he was sick with bowel trouble from birth and suffered intensely. Since Mrs.

changing positions during their passage over the face of the sky. But the motion of our own satellite is so much more rapid that it is of even more interest to trace out its monthly path around the heavens as it moves through one constellation after another and from time to time hides one of their brighter stars from view.
 A very brief watching will show the observer that our moon moves eastward a distance equal to it's own diameter in about one hour and that it follows quite closely the path XNZ Figure 1, which is pursued by the sun among the stars. In the present month we will see our satellite pass below the bright star R at 9 p. m. on April 1. and were we south of the earth's equator we would in fact see this star hidden by the moon. On April 1. at 10 D. m., it will be seen passing below the star at s. At D. m., on April 6, it will pass just above the bright Regulus at l., and so it will continue it's steady eastward motion, passing below the star T of Virgo at midnight of April g. Eleven hours later from some parts of the earth it will be seen to hide the bright Spica at NJ, but to dwellers in the United States the moon will be set when this occurs.
 The sixth comet discovered during the year was a small teescopic object which promised to be of little general interest, but now that it's accurate path through space has been determined, it is found that this comet will after a few months become a very much brighter and possi- bly, even a naked-eye object. It appears that when first discovered the comet was nearly 400,0O0.o00 miles away from us, four-fifths as far away as the planet Ju- piter, but that it is drawing nearer to the sun and will be at it's least distance from that body during next October. Thus it is to rapidly approach our earth and al- though from April to July 1t will be too near the suns rays to be seen, it is ex- pected that during September and Octo-
 Der 1t will become conspicuous object. At present the comet Is moving slowly eastward in the extreme west border of Taurus, just beyond the borders of our evening map, but when it draws near US in September it will be found in Ursa Major at the point U, Figure 1. During the following month it will move very rapidly on account of its nearness to us. and by | October 26 will reach the point w in

from us. It Is in exact quadrature with the sun on April 10 at Il D. m.
 Those who have had the pleasure of viewing the heavens in the early morn- ing when the beautiful Northern Cross, the Eagle and the other Milky Way con stelatons shine so conspicuously in the east have doubtless noticed how the very brilliant Jupiter has been steadily increas- ing it's distance from the sun and shining ever more conspicuously in the southeast ern heavens. On April i this beautiful object rises at hours 33 minutes a. m. l; on April 30 it rises at 1 hour 51 minutes. and has almost reached the meridian by the time of sunrise It will be several months, however, before it enters our evening sky.

with the more conspicuous objects of the heavens it will be pleasure to trace out these fainter groups and to discover with his telescope a few of the many inter esting objects which may be found within their borders. They are only to be easi- ly found by noting their positions with reference to the bright groups which sur round them The beginner should there fore become familiar with these latter consultations first. Besides Leo and Crsa Major he will have no difficulty in trac- ing out the great summer group Virgo. which has now wholly entered the even | ing sky nor indeed in identifying from the map all of the brighter consultations of spring.
 It is of interest to note first of all the very brilliant stars which are now above the ground. Tn the west he will the 1 red Aldebaran at F. Figure 1; the yellow sun-like Capella at G, and the very bril- liant bluish Dog Stars at H and K. In the south there shines the white Regulus at l.; in the southeast is the beautiful blue Spica at M and in the east the fiery Arcturus, that immeasurably great and distant sun, at c. And far in the north east there appears the blue Vega at N. our most brilliant northern star, whose coming always assures us that the cold days of winter are past.
 The Planets in April
 Mercury will reach its greatest distance west of the sun on April at a. m, and for a few days before and after this date may be detected shining out in the dawn almost due east of the observer, for some what more than one hour before sunrise After this it will again be lost in the suns rays, not finally passing the sun and becoming an evening star until May IT.
 Venus is steadily drawing outward from the sun and may throughout the month be detected without difficulty as 1t shines a little to the north of the west point of the horizon in the twilight glow. On April it sets but 50 minutes after sun : set. but as the planet is steadily climb ing the evening sky this time increases to one hour and 30 miutes by April 30. Though very far from the earth, it is even now a conspicuous object as it shines with 22 times the brightness of a first-magniture star.
 Mars moves rapidly eastward through out the month"; as indicated in Figure 1, passing out of Gemini and into Cancer. It is still conspicuous in the western sky. but is growing continually fainter on ac- count of its rapidly increasing distance

A TERRIBLE WEAPON.

From Popular Mechanics Magazine.
A new weapon has been provided
for the United States army which is
far more efficient than any hereto
fore adopted. 1t was invented and is
used by the French military authOri-
ties, and already nearly a hundred
have been purchased by the United
States. The new gun weighs about
thirty-fiye pounds and can easily be
carried by a soldier. Two men are
required to operate it, both of whom
lie fiat on the ground, presenting a
small mark to the enemy. One man
feeds the cartridges into the breech
of the gun in clips of % each, while
the other aims the weapon and di-
reefs the firing mechanism. The gun
will fire separate shots or will oper-
ate automatically, in which case 800
shots per minute may be fired. At
long range a third soldier ascertains
the range by the use of binoculars
and reports the effect of the bullets.
