Rodman Wanamaker Is Building
Second Giant Craft to Fly
Over Seas.
TO Be LARGEST EVER BUILT
Will Be Ten Times Power of America,
Which Was Sold to Great Britain
at Outbreak of War-To Carry
Crew of Six Persons, Fuel
and Provisions.

New York.-The construction of a
new America, to be the largest air
craft ever built and to have sufficient
power and speed to cross the Atlantic
ocean in 80 hours, was announced to
local aeronautical authorities by Rod
man Wanamaker of Philadelphia, pres
ident of the Aero Club of America.
The order for the huge air machine
already has been placed with the Cur
tiss Aeroplane company by the Ameri-
ca Trans-Ocean company and Is now
under construction.
Mr.. Wanamaker was the owner Of
the old America, in which an attempt
to fly from Newfoundland to England
was to have been made in 1914. After
completion it was launched in June of
that year, achieved trial speed OF
60 miles an hour and was ready for
the transatlantic flight when the war
interviewed.
John c.. Porte, a lieutenant in the
English army, who was to have had
command of the trial trip across the
ocean, returned to his regiment in
England and the proposed fight was
postponed until after the war. In Oc-
tober, 1914, however, under what was
reported as a contract made cOntin-
gent upon England's entrance into
war, the America was sold to Great
Britain and was shipped to that coun-
try aboard the steamship Mauritania.
While news concerning the British use
of the huge airship has been censored,
Americans returning from abroad
have asserted that the great hydro
aeroplane has proved all the claims
made for it prior to the war.
Ten Times Power Of Others.
The new America will be ten times
the power of the old one, will be of
design different from anything ever
constructed, and will be by far the
largest airship of any nature ever

Sweet Potato Plant Showing Symptoms

the seed and the hotbed will, or
course, be largely wasted II the field
is infected. 1t Is not known exactly
how long the stem-rot fungus will
live in the soil in the absence Of sweet
potatoes, but probably for several
years. For this reason sweet potatoes
should not be planted in the same
ground oftener than once In three or
four years. No other crops are known
to be attacked by the fungus, and any
of them, therefore, may be used in the
rotation.
Unlike stem rot, black rot spreads
freely through potatoes in storage.
1t is, therefore, most important that
no potatoes with this disease find
their way into the storage house. It
Is also desirable to pick over the
seed in the spring again and discard
any potatoes with suspicious spots.
Root rot and scurf are controlled
in much the same way as stem rot,
black rot and foot rot. Scurf, 1t has
been found, Is worse on heavy soils
and on soils containing large guam
tity of organic matter, such as ma
nure. A wet season is also favorable
to the spread of the disease. In con-
trolling foot rot, it is important to re-
member that although this disease
attacks a great variety Of plants, it
has never been known to attack corn
or any of the cereals. These can,
therefore, be grown on the infected
grounds.

LOOKING Always to the Future.

An old-fashioned way of looking at
the city's situation Is expressed by an
indianapolis newspaper, which says;
"a citys physical improvements, OF
whatever sort, have definite value TO
the city and it's property, calculable In
dollars and cents. They facilitate busi-
ness and make living conditions moro
pleasant. In that way they are an as
set for residents and property owners
and act also as an inducement to per-
sons on the outside to come and make
their homes here.
Indianapolis ranks favorably with
the most progressive cities of its class
in breadth and organic character or
park improvements. The parking OF
waste land among some of the smaller
streams and on Fall creek has given
an impetus to values of property adj
iacent to these improvements. The
day Is not remote when barren areas
along these streams will be most at
tractive residence sections"

FUNGUS DISEASE OF TOMATO
Wilt Is Slowly But Surely Injecting
Principal Sections of Country
Effective Solution.

A tomato disease called the wilt is
slowly but surely injecting the princi-
pal tomato sections of the country.
The disease is due to fungus which
lives in the water channels Of the
stems. There it multiplies until they
actually choke or prevent the circula'
ton of moisture and the plant willis
at first until finally it dies. The dis
ease lives over winter in the soil and
enters the plant through the roots.
Tomatoes, elephants and similar
crops should not be planted on infect
ed soil for a few years. However,
what promises to be the most effec-
tive solution is to develop resistant
strains by constant selection. Several
experiment stations have already OBJ
tanned very encouraging results.
Spraying is of no avail as the fungus
develops within the plant where spray
cannot reach it.

CITY TO ADVERTISE ITSELF

port for foreign trade and unexcelled
railroad communications to every part
of the country, according to the Phil

The mayor hopes to establish either
a bureau of publicity in one Of the de-

the mayor at a luncheon given recent
w by the Poor Richard club as to the
value of advertising the city, and ne
promised to consider the project. An
nouncing that he would recommend
the plan to the city legislators, he said
that the appropriation would go into
the newspapers, magazines and other
publications-in other words, into
printers ink-where it would do the
most good.
The campaign of advertising is to In

London.-A reduction in she prison

the shutting up, in whole or part, Of

of the visible evidences of the reduc-

the war.
OF the 20 prisons closed or in proc

1t is true that not quite all of the
diminution in criminality can be as
cribed to the war, for the process has
been going on since 1904, undoubted-
ly as result of the greater intelli-
gence Of British legislation.
In their last report the commission
ers of prisons ascribed the decrease
in criminality to three chief causes
namely ID the drifting into the army
of considerable section of the pop
ulation from which the criminal
classes ordinarily come; (2) the new
demands for labor and the greater IA

fPrepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Field diseases of sweet potatoes are
usually controlled by seed selection
and disinfection, the proper prepare
ton of the hotbed and crop rotation.
Root rot, which attacks other crops
besides sweet potatoes, is best con-
trolled by deep, clean cultivation, aer-
alton of the soil and crop rotation.
Farmers bulletin TIA, new publ
cation of the department of agricul-
ture, describes five of the principal
field diseases of sweet potatoes. These
are all caused by some fungi in the
seed ~or in the ground. For stem rot,
black root, and foot rot, the essential
point is to plant clean seed in clean
hotbed If the field itself becomes in
tested, use it for other crops for a
period of three or four years. Healthy
seed can be secured by selecting it
in the fall at digging time, while the
potatoes are still attached to the
vines. Each hill should be tested by
splitting the stem and potatoes should
be taken only from plants the insides
of which are not streaked with black.
1t should be remembered, however,
that heavy frost will blacken the
bundles in the same way as stem rot.
In the spring, or during the winter, 1t
is frequently impossible to tell wheth-
er the potatoes are diseased or not,
since they become darkened after a
period of storage. For this reason
fall selection is essential.
Just before they are bedded, the
seed potatoes should be disinfected
by submerging them from five to ten
of corrosive sublimate to eight gal
Ions of water. Only wooden vessels
should be used for disinfection. Cor
rosive sublimate, it must be remem-
bered, is a strong poison, and should
be kept out of the way of animals or
human beings. After disinfection the
potatoes should be rinsed in pure wa
ter and laid in the sun to dry. This
treatment will not destroy any fun
gus within the potato, but it will kill
spores that may be on the surface.
That a hotbed should be free from
germs Of the disease is almost as i'm
portant as that the seed potatoes
themselves should be. The common
practice of using the same soil in the
hotbed year after year is probably one
of the chief sources of distributing
sweet potato disease. Even If the soil
is thrown out after the hotbed season
is over, it frequently is left by the
side of the hotbed and is used the
following year.
2 Soil that has been used in the hot
bed should be hauled away, together

% HELPS
NEED FOR CITY PLANNING
United States Might Well Take Les
son From German Builders Who
Have Studied the Work.

The marked advance in thought
about city planning is indicated by
the reception accorded the report Of
the New York commission on build
ing districts and restrictions. Ten
years ago the suggestions made in
that report would have been regard
ed as highly revolutionary and head
ing straight for Socialism.
For one thing the report recon-
mends the establishment Of a zone
system" a method long ago adopted
in Germany, and a plan long needed
in American cities. The economic
waste, the upsetting of realty values,
the disturbance Of the city's fiscal sys-
tenn, involved in the growth OF every
thriving American city has been self
evident. This has been brought about
by the incursion of factories into old
residential districts, lowered values, a
boom in another section, and then the
same story over again, with homes al
ways just one jump ahead OF the fac
tories.
City experts abroad provided for
that by assigning factories to certain
zones, and homes to others. In only
a few cities in this country has any
such restriction been attempted.
New York has other problems to
face from which Washington was hap
PLY freed by an unusual foresight.
The skyscraper menace we have
avoided. But New York blocks have
suffered from the incursion of one
high building, then others so built
that the early ones had light and air
cut off, and their presence resulted in
the bottom dropping out of values In
the rest Of the block.
Fortunately limited height and
courtyard provisions already have
place In the building laws of most
cities. The one feature in the New
York commissions report that should
appeal to most American cities is the
establishment of zones for industries
and other zones for homes.

state and Federal Governments
Brought to Better Understanding
Which VIII Insure Efficient
Cooperation in Future.

Washington, D. C.-The long fight
against the foot-and-mouth disease Is
over. The secretary of agriculture
has issued an order removing all foot
and-mouth guarantees and restrlc-
lions against the shipment and move
ment OF live stock. The order speci-
fically removes the quarantine from a
small territory in Christian county,
ILL.,, the last area which was under
suspicion. Along with the removal OF
this local quarantine, the various fed
eral orders restricting shipment OF cat
tie are rescinded, so that dealers can
now ship their cattle as before the first
quarantine was imposed.
Upon notification that the United
States Is free from the disease, all
foreign governments which have
placed embargoes on American cattle
are expected to remove these en-
bargoes, so that cattle raisers will then
he able to resume shipments to these
foreign countries.
The magnitude Of the work OF eradi-
cation and control carried on by farm
ers. shippers, and the state and federal
governments is shown by the fact that
before being controlled, the disease had
gained temporary footing in ~ states
and the District of Columbia. The
disease appeared and was controlled
in 269 different counties.
The Importance to the stock-raising
industry Of eradicating foot-and-mouth
disease may be judged from the re-
suits of this plague in Denmark, where
the disease appeared at about the
same time that it broke out In the
United States. The area Of Denmark
is approximately equal to that OF the
three England Observation-Disclosures,
Connecticut and Rhode Island. 1t Is,
however. great dairying country,
and It has been estimated that the
losses in milk in one year caused by
the foot-and-mouth disease have
amounted to approximately one-third
of the total cost of Graduating the
nestilence in % states Of this country.
The Danish authorities were unable to
carry out their former policy OF slaugh-
ter, and were compelled to resort to
such measures of control as could be
established by guarantees and other
restrictions.
AS a result Of better understanding
between the state and national govern
ments, representatives of the depart
ment believe that many OF the OBJ
