AERIAL COAST PATROL
Congratulates the Portland, Me-,
Chamber of Commerce on Raising
$4,000 for Station.

President Wilson has shown keen in
terest in the project Of the national
aerial coast patrol commission for the
establishment of aeropane stations
along the coasts of the two oceans. the
great lakes and the Gulf of Mexico as
measure of preparedness" and to
be used in time of peace as an adjunct
of the coast guard in saving life and
property from the sea
He has sent letter of congratulate
ton to the Chamber of Commerce of
Portland, Ne. for its success in being
the first American community to raise
100000 for the establishment of one of
the proposed stations. 1T is a crafty
ing Indication of the spontaneous in
terest of that part of the coast in ma :
tional defense, and 1 hope the example
which they have set may be followed

Stations 100 Miles Apart.
Fifty stations, at intervale of 100
miles apart, will cover the coast terri
tory. The cost of their installations i!
is now estimated, would be $500, 900
This sum would provide a continuous
picket line of seaplanes, which would
patrol the coast fifty miles off shore
and 1000 or more feet in air, watching
for vessels in distress, or. in times of
war peril, for the approach of possible
enemy ships or aircraft

Plan for Informal Dinner.

The plan is to have informal dinner
meetings for non-partisan discussion
of the questions of the day, to invite
men of national reputation represent
ing all viewpoints of the subject to
address the meeting and present the
arguments on which they base their
opinions.
This, it is claimed, will furnish
quick and thorough method of study
ing paramount issues that must some
how, and usually by much longer
route. be considered by every thought
full man.
1t is the intention of the Washing
ton club to have a few important
meetings each year. with the best
available talent. rather than many
meetings of ordinary interest.
Important questions of living inter-
est. to which public attention is
strongly directed at the time, are to
be chosen for discussion.
Able men of opposite opinions on
such questions are to be brought face
to face before the same audience on
the same evenings, to give the best
and most forceful expression of their
views under the fire of the enemy's
guns

The first beauty doctor" to gain
wide celebrity was one Bnlsamo, son
OF a poor s%hopkeeper in Palermo, but
best known by his assumed title of
Count Alessandro di CagliOstrO. He
was born 173 years ago and was edu-
Gated in a monastery. AS a young
man he went to Rome, where he met
and married q beautiful girl, says an
exchange.
The pair then travelled over Europe
under the names of Count and Count

nificent coach-and-four and securing
access to the highest society of the
fortune by selling u wine of Egypt"

Seraphina adduced herself as Il liv-

and had Il son who was a veteran sol

New View Of Ventilation.
From the WASHINGTON Times.

The fact that good ventilation is es-
sential to good health is established be-
yond question. But until recently it was
generally believed that a room that was
we'll supplied with oxygen was we'll
ventilated. and conversely the air of a
room having a low percentage of oxy-
gen was peculiarly harmful for breath
ing. The 'stifling" feeling produced by
hot, crowded rooms has been thought
to be due to the toxic matter in the
expired air and the low percentage OF
oxygen.
Pure air contains about p per CEN
OF oxygen. but this nay be reduced
very much before the diminution be-
comes harmful. Indeed. 1t is necessary
to go only a short distance up into the
mountains to come under an atmos-
pheric pressure such as to reduce the
oxygen supply much more than it Is re-
duced in crowded assemblies, and yet
mountain air is especially healthful.
The exact percentage Of oxygen in the
air. therefore. does not appear to be
the determinant factor in good ventila-
ton, as was once supposed. And re-
cent experiments seem to show that the
headaches. dizziness and nausea pro-
duced by the air in crowded rooms are
due to heat. humidity and stagnation
OF the air. rather than to its chemical
composition.
1t is found. for example. that in bad
~ ventilated rooms where the oxygen
Is greatly diminished by the number OF
persons present. the usual feelings of
iiscomforts to breathing will be large
ly prevented IL the air is cooled and
kept in motion with electric fans. Even
where such stirring up of the air does
not actually change the percentage If
oxygen. 1t relieves the bad effects up
On respiration. as movement of the air
seesns to be quite as important as
chemical composition.

COUNSEL FOR Welded FOLK
Little Advice That Possibly May Help
to Make Things in Some Degree
More Pleasant.

If l were giving counsel to the hus-.

love / would suggest that neither call
the attention of the other to the dis
agreeable qualities of the family Of
either.
MY husband loves my people as IL
they were his own" n wife told me-.
ut makes me feel so happy"
l doubt if he did love her people
very dearly, but he overlooked those
characteristics which a more selfish
man would have resented. If 1t was
what a schoolboy would call a bluff
it was a gloriously unselfish one.
Most of us can stand the tempers
and idiosyncrasies of our own when
we alone have to heal them. 1t is
when we see them through the eyes
of n third person that they become
uncomfortable. That is perhaps n rea-
son why so few roofs are large enough
to cover two families.
If each "in-laws" exercised toward
the members of the household into
which he or she married the same
