EFFORTS TO STAMP OUT

State Officials Join With National
Bureau in Strict Quarantine.
Dairy Show Exception.

With the federal quarantine against
the footand mouth disease cover .ng
practically every suspected cattle mar
ket, officials OF the bureau OF animai
industry today organized a force of
inspectors to trace every shipment of
cattle made from the infected area
during the last two months.
Officials believe the quarantine al
ready established covers all herds at
present affected and that the strict
maintenance of quarantine and the
slaughter of infected cattle will stamp
out the disease.
The bureau today had about 100
agents in the field tracing every head
OF cattle that passed through the Chi
caso stockyards in the last sixty days
and every railroad car used to trans
port them.

In all the states where quarantine
has been declared state officials have

In several states local quarantineS
have been established. and it is eX-

AVIATION PROFITS BY
STUDY OF WATERFOWL
M. Magnan Gives Academy of
Sciences Ideal Relative d.
mansions of Hydroaeroplane.
~ Cablo to No Trlbune.

Paris, March 21.-M. Magnan. after
long study Of waterfowl, gave before tho
Academy Of Sciences what he considered
the ideal relative dimensions of a hydro
aeroplsne. These are the figures for z
machine weighing, ready for flight, 400
Kilograms Wing surface, il is square
metres; wing spread, 10 metres 30 CEN
timetres, and length OF machine, 4 metres
% centimetres.
VI. Magnan bases these dimensions on
the difference in natures construction oc
land and sea birds. The latter, of all
birds, have the greatest spread Of wing.
but. on the contrary. their wings are mar
rover than those Of all other birds. Never
theless, sea birds have a larger wing sur
face than any land birds, except birds OF
prey The tails Of sea birds are consider
able shorter than land birds but despite
this the total length is almost the same
as Of birds OF prey. VI. Magnan shows
that all birds accustomed, like sea birds, to
fly in strong winds are characterized b.
long, narrow wings and short tails. lie
believes that water planes should follow
this example. NJ. Msgnan, before turning
his attention 70 water planes, published
the dimensions for monoplane, also de-
rived from birds.
The first experiments on monoplsns
based on these figures was the Ponnier
monoplane. flown by Emile Vedrines In the
last international cup race. II was on an
aeroplape based on the Magnan figures
that Bielovucie broke the record OF ascent
and reached the height Of 1859 metres IN

Paris, March I.-The French Mark

Rut IL they want 10 vote they must be-
gin. not by converting men, but by con-

CHURCH FAILS TO ATTRACT
Twenty Out of Every 1000
Berlin Protestants Attend.

Berlin. March 12.-The people OF Berlin
do not appear to be good churchgoers, ac-
cording TO a census taken OF attendants
at the Protestant churches on the last
Sunday i'm February. The count covered
rs parishes, with a Protestant population
Of 2,OS0Uo, Of whom only S9'4O were
counted at church that day, either morn
ing or evening. Even according to the
estimate Of a clergyman who criticises
the figures as too low the number was
only 1900 greater.
Thus barely 20 out OF every loo Prot
e.ant Berliners at the highest estimate
attended church on the Sunday in ques-
ton. Very few men were seen in the
churches: in many cases women and chill
dren constituted three-fourths Of the con-
gregation. Less than one-sixth OF the
seating capacity OF the churches was oc-
cupied at the morning services.
