The initial appropriation is asked
of Congress by the Postmaster Gen
eral for experiments only. The intro
duction as an established feature of
the postal facilities of such a high
speed mail service, limited necessarily
as to weight, would raise the ques-
ton whether the service should be
classed separately and charged for
on a special basis. 1t is pointed out
that it would offer a medium of COM
munication midway between the
present special delivery letter and the
telegram, and could hardly fall under
any of the present classes of mail.

PAYS $4,000
FOR HISTORIC
DOUCET DOLLS
ANONYMOUS Donor Presents
Museum Collection Show
ing Fashions in Dress.

New York, Dec. 15.-An anonymous
donor has purchased for $4,000 for the
Toledo Museum Of Art, the E. F. B.
Permanent Blind Relief War Funds
historic collection Of Doucet Dolls.
These dolls constitute probably the
most complete and elaborate represen
tation extant Of French fashions in
dress from the Sixth Century to the
present time. The dolls are about Is
in number. Each represents a his
toric French character and stands two
feet in height. They are now on ex-
hibition at the Allies Bazaar in Bos-
ton and will remain there until the
close of the Bazaar on December 20
when they will be sent to Toledo.
According to a statement issued to-
day simultaneously with the an
nouncement of the purchase: "This
wonderful collection has been pur-
chased to help the Museum and edu-
cate the people of Ohio in matters Of
art and history, but to relieve the suf-
fering abroad by helping. one Of the
worthiest Of causes. the B. F. B. Per-
manent Blind Relief War Fund. The
collection is the most wonderful OF its
kind in the world. It is a pity that it
could not be retained in New York,
Boston, Washington or somewhere
else in the East. The friends Of the
Toledo Museum Of Art, on the other
hand, are proving by the purchase
that the Middlewest is not asleep, the
purchase Of the notable picture,
moonlight Of Blackjack, for 10000
at recent Auction at the Plaza hotel
in New York being another indication
Of this fact"
Practically every phase of French
fashions, from the time of Sainte
Clotilde, wife Of Clovis, who was King
Of the Franks in 507 A. D., to the
| present time, is represented by the
dolls. Among the historic figures are
the Empress. Eugene of France, who,
| after the fall Of the, Empire of Napo-
leon III. fed to England and who is
shown wearing one of her elaborate
court costumes: Marguerite Of Elan
ders, in the painted head-dress Of her
time; Catherine de Med1ci, wearing
one of her famous neck rufus: Mary
Stuart, Queen Of the Scots, in one of
the f1are-skirted court costumes of her
| time; Marie Of Anjou; Louise de la
Vallfere, the ,favorite Of Louis XIV;
Madame de Pompadour and Anne de
Bretagne, wife Of Louis XII
The statues were made in 1915 by
| famous Paris sculptors, the like
nesses to the historic characters rep
| resented being taken from the ori-
ginal portraits which hang in the
Louvre and Luxembourg museums.
These statues were then dressed by
Doucet, the fashionable French cos
tuner in old brocades and real laces
according to the same portraits Even
| the jewe1ed ornaments were repro
| duced in the minutest detail. The
collection was made at the order Of
an organization in Paris called LA
Vie Feminine the head of which
was Miss Valentine THOMPSON.
daughter of a Minister of Commerce.
The dolls were brought to America
in November, 1915, under the aus
pices of the Lafayette Fund.
In May. 1916, Mr. George A. Kess-
Ter, of the Executive committee of
the B. F. B. Permanent Blind Relief
War Fund, purchased the collection
personally and presented it to the B.
F. B. Fund.

AERIAL POSTAL
Line FROM n. Y.
NOW CONSIDERED

Washington, Dec. 15-The Post
Office Department has under consid-
Grafton in connection with the pro-
posed appropriation of 100000 for
experimental aerial mail service a
plan for regular aeroplane mail SER
vice between New Yor kand Chica-
go.
Officers of the Post Office Depaft-
ment have discussed the present pos
sibilities of aerial mail transportation
with experts and have been assured
that the New Chicago service is
practicable. It is estimated trips
can be made in from six to fourteen
hours, depending on the wind, and
that the average running time for the
720 miles (air line) between the two
largest American cities would be eight
hours.
It was learned that certain promo
tiers have proposed definite plans for
regular scheduletof aerial mail SER
vice. One plan involves emergency
stations every twenty-five miles. each
equipped with powerful lights, two
landing stations and one relay sta
ton The planes would leave the
two termini at 6 p. m. the following
day. Under the most favorable con-
ditions the mail would reach it's des-
tination by midnight. From 500 to
900 pounds Of load or 'tcargo" would
be carried.
\ Would Follow Lights.
Leaving New York at dusk the air
mail carrier would follow the lights
at the emergency stations to the first
landing station, which would be in
the vicinity of Wflliamsport, Pa. There
at flying field fully equipped with
hangers, tools and spare parts he
would stop for oil and gas and would
then continue to the relay station near
Niles. Ohio Here another machine
would finish the flight, landing once
at the second landing near Napoleon,
Ohio.
One extra machine with pilot
would be maintained at each landing
station and three extra machines and
pilots at the relay station. Powerful
searchlights would mark the emer-
gency stations and special lighting
systems illuminate the flying fields at
the landing and relay stations. BY
the use Of searchlghts of about 5000
candlepower equipped with acetylene
gas tanks, 1t is said the pilots would
be able to see the lights when several
miles distant, even in foggy weather,
and would be compelled to fly in
darkness under the worst conditions
only 10 or ~ minutes.

SCHOOLS FOR BLIND.

The frs. school for the blind in
America was the Perkins Institution

husband of Julia Ward Howe, and
the munificence of Col. Thomas
Handasyd Perkins. The latter, whose

Of many similar schools all over the
United States and in Canada. There
are now about 10000 blind people in
the States and the Dominion. This
terrible affection is more prevalent
among the Indians and negroes than
among the whites, although trachoma
is prevalent among the whites of parts
of Kentucky and Tennessee, giving
those states a high ratio of blind peo-
pie. In New Mexico, Arizona and Ne
vada the ratio is highest owing to the
large Indian and Mexican populations
of those states. Thanks to the wide
