AIR UP 10000 FEET COLD
Even in Hottest Weather Aviator May
BE In Arctic Regions After Flight
of Ten Minutes.

AviatorS experience many different
degrees of temperature in their flights.
On the hottest day in summer flying
man may be In the arctic regions in
ten minutes by mounting to height
of 10000 feet, just as the climber may
pass through all the shades of temper
allure by climbing Kilima-NjarO, that
giant peak which rises above the snow
line from the equator. He commences
with the tropical jungle and ends
amid eternal snow.
The fact is that the temperature Is
invariably low at 10000 feet and over,
whether at the tropics or the poles,
and it is quite likely to be lowered at
the equator. Airmen well know the in
tense cold Of those upper regions, and
they need the rig-out of Shackleton
if they would mount to 10000 feet
above the earth's surface. In fact,
there is little variation of temperature
in these upper reaches of the at
mosphere. 1t is much the same in sum-
mer as winter, except for the differ
ence which a high wind makes.
Even in the depth of hot summer
the airmen will encounter 40 degrees
of frost at 10000 feet, and at twice
that altitude 100 degrees of frost-the
temperature of the South pole-is not
unusual.

IS DISPENSER OF COMFORT
One Enclishwoman Does SKIER Bit" by
Keeping Open House for Wounded
Mems Visitors.

There is a large class of English
women. writes London correspondent,
who have TO keep their own homes GO
ing. but who manage to take time TO
help to ease the war strain. She visits
soldiers wives and families In dark
and dirty streets. as do most of her
friends and hundreds of other women.
She never goes empty-handed. To pay
for these luxuries she dispenses with
help in the homework. rising earlier
In the morning to do 1t herself. Here
is the experience of one:
In the course of her visit to hos
pital tall. sad. young Scotchman won
her sympathy. He was grievously
wounded, but what he seemed to suffer
from most was inconsistencies and a
wild longing for his own people, es-
pecially his mother. "She can't afford
It." he said when asked why she did
not visit him. "She could get a half
fare warrant, / know, but even then
she's not accustomed to travel, and
she'd be lost In a strange town."
This gave her an idea. She would
stay with herl She met her at the sta
ton and took her up to the hospital,
where the excited boy lay.
For q few days the old Scotch wom-
an stayed with her. and then returned
to Scotland full of gratitude and de-
light at having seen her son. She was
the first of many guests entertained by
this warm-hearted Englishwoman. Sol
diers' wives came, sometimes bringing
with them q baby-once or twice 1t
was a baby the father had never seen
before, born while he was at the front;
soldiers sisters, sweethearts, mothers,
all poor women who could not afford
to have come without her offer of hos
pitality. They arrived tired. anxious
and sad, and she comforted them and
cheered them, and they went away hap
pier to know that their dear ones had
so kind a friend at hand.

The World on Wheels.

According to report by the office
OF public roads, which takes notice of
such matters, there were 3,512,996 au-
tomobiles and motor trucks and 250,-
800 motorcycles registered in the
United States In 1915. This is an in
crease of 40 per cent over the registry
Of cars and trucks for the previous
year. The gain was greatest in the
Southern states, where 1t reached sc
per cent. On the estimate Of the pres
ent population there is now an automo-
bile for every 20 people In the United
States. On the basis of comfortable
seating capacity, this makes room for
one-sixth of the inhabitants, says
Thomas f. Logan in Leslie's. Or, In
other words, If properly apportioned,
every sixth or seventh family would be
found supplied. The total license reve-
nue. derived from this source for 1916
was $25,865,870. which represents an
increase OF $7,699,659 over the receipts
Of the same character for the year
before.

CAMELs ARE IN BIG DEMAND
Great Numbers of Beast Of the Desert
Used by the British In Defense
of Egypt.

Along the banks af the Suez canal
and thence along the old coast road to
the east you will find today between
the endless series of British encamp-
ments caravans Of camels passing to
and fro with their burdens or lying
patiently at their hangers and chew
ing the cud with that tranquil express
sion Of the beast which no stress of
war can disturb, says the Manchester
Guardian.
There are more camels gathered
here than ever were assembled in the
bazaars Of Cairo or Damascus. Though
the defense Of Egypt has been carried
forward from the canal itself to the
hills and dunes Of the Sinai desert
and to the Land of Promise beyond,
the camel is still an integral part Of
the defensive scheme. Roads and rail-
ways, it is true, run out here and there
eastward from the bank, but there re-
mains vast hinterland unrec1aimed
from the desert, waste, in which our
troops continually move.

First Pension Fund.

In this country the first pension
fund was established by the city of
New York for policemen. Since then
many states and cities have enacted
retirement legislation, the number OF
retirement funds has increased to
over 400, and many thousands of pub
lie employees have been covered by
retirement provisions. Although the
expansion of the movement has. been
rapid. 1t has by 10 means reached its
limit. As yet a number Of states and
cities have not adopted any retirement
legislation the 800 pension funds for
police and firemen do not include all
employees of these two groups; the
100 teachers pension funds cover only
about half of the teachers, and the re-
naming funds. approximately 40,
cover only small fraction OF all other
classes of federal, state and municipal
employees.

THE ANTS AT VARIANCE
With The Argumentc They Put Forth
Is Not Picketing Justifiable!
Says Correspondent.
Communicated

To the Editor of The Capital:
The following pleasing headlines
appeared on the front column OF a re
cent issue of the Baltimore Evening
News:
THE Head of the Ants scores
White House Pickets Mrs. James ".
Wadsworth, President of the National
Association Opposed to Woman Sun
rage. Has Written an Open Letter to
President Wilson Protesting Against
the Picketing of the White House by
the National Woman's Party" To
quote the letter in part, it runs:
AS a loyal American citizen and a
lifelong resident of the District of
Columbia, / wish to protest against
the wilful and persistent disregard for
law and order Systematically display
ed by the members of the National
Woman's Party"
Now, just what are we to think of
a statement like that? Mrs. Wads-
worth comes of intellectual descent.
She is also more than comfortably
provided for in the way of worldly
goods. We will, therefore, eliminate
any charges of stupidity or interested
motives. Surely Mrs Wadsworth
knows that picketing is a legal pro-
ceeding, that it has been made so by
F ederal action, that it is employed
by labor unions, that it has been APP
proved by President Wilson? There
are paid organizers among the Ants
whose marked ability is so at variance
with the arguments they put forth,
and the contradictory statements they
authorize, that lny one judgment of
their motives is possible This is not
the case with Mrs. Wadsworth She
is just that human paradox, an Anti
Suffragist. Surely, as Head of the
Ants" she must have investigated the
recent trial of the suffragists, that is
to say, if she was on the job. Surely
she went to the trial, in search of
campaign material, or if she did not,
did she not send some reliable inves-
tigator in her place? We could not
imagine her missing trick like that!
Well then, When she got there, and
found suffragists arrested without
knowing the charge, when she heard
the charge, finally given, of "obstruct-
ing traffic" in the face of photographs
produced by the defense clearly show
ing no one on Pennsylvania avenue
at the time of the arrest. except the
picketing suffragists, and the police
who arrested them; when she heard
the sentence of $500 fine or Jail land
GROWING absurdity of all, judge
who. after imposing such a sentence,
offered to pay the fine himselfD in
the face of this evidence, what did
the head of the Ants, or her repre-
sentative do? Always, of course, pre-
Stunning that she knew anything at all
about what was taking place? Bless
her she went home. or stayed home,
as the case might be. and opening her
portfolio, she penned her famous mis-
sive to the President, ending with
those thought-provoking words:
They who pirate of equal rights,
who will not observe them under law,
Mr.. President, are these to be trusted
with the solemn responsibility of
suffrage?"
There seems to have been lot of
solemnity somewhere, probably in the
shoe that got on the wrong foot. to
mix our metaphors a bit. /.

For Old Llnoleun,.

An old linoleum, If not worn into
holes, may be refreshed and made al
most as good as new with little trou-
BILE. First, be sure that it is stretched
and tackled as closely as possible.
Then paint 1t all over with two coats
of any good wash paint. letting the
first one dry before supplementing it
with the second. When this is quite
dry, give the floor a coating of orange
shellac. After this is dry. go over it
with a second coat. This gives an ex-
cellent finish to the floor and will make
the linoieum not only look well, but
add greatly to its wearing qualities.
An oil mop will keep it clean.

"This hotel was so very swagger
that the guests all felt like inmates

There was little man who arrived
there one night and rang his bell for

again. Still no answer. Then he put
his finger on the button and held 1t

Why Cherries Are Bed.

1t was the theory of Darwin that
nature made cherries beautiful to the
eye for a definite purpose. Red, he
said, was the most prominent and at
tractiye color. Cherries turned to that
hue in order to attract birds. Birds,
noting the brilliant globules. tasted
them, found them to their liking, told
other birds and consumed the crop,
swallowing seeds and all. In this way
the cherry stones were carried far and
wide over the country and dropped
where they might grow into other
cherry trees.

Evelyn, the glSat diarist and cour-

his readers would gladly have had him
notice and record.
He tells us nothing of the condition
of the mass of the people, rarely
speaks of poor persons or servants,
rarely mentions the clothes he wore or
the food he ate, never, at any rate,
with that pleasure Of memory I'M
ashamed which gives such details the
smack of life in Pepys1or Boswell.
He never gossips; tells us little OF
bis neighbors' vices, and nothing of
their follies; would assuredly not have
recorded, if there had been any such
matters to record, his wife's jealousy
Of his attentions to her mind; gives
no such touches Of rude veracity as
that Of Pepys' sister, for whom hus'

me ashamed to be seen with him,

GREED MET PROPER REBuKE
Incident on Street Car a Case Of

a shining coin glistening on the floor.

of ready money was not apparent,
However, she was cycling the coin as
a cat does a mouse, ready to pounce
on it at the first favorable OppOr-
tunity. simultaneously the gaze of a
dapper elderly gentleman, seated next
the Woman Who Saw, lighted upon
the glittering object 1t would have
been an easy matter to have stopped
and possessed himself of it, but the
eagle eye of his fellow passenger fol-
lowed his every movement betraying
her desire to appropriate the coveted
prize. After a few seconds of irreso-
luton he reached down and literally
grabbed the lucky find. Opening his
closed hand he took one glance at the
treasure. A peculiar expression crossed
his face, and his fingers closed tightly
again. This was too much for the
well-dressed woman, who could re-
strain herself no longer; greed took
possession of her, and leaning for
ward she addressed the finder in icy
. accents: "Pardon me, sir, that belongs
TO me. I just dropped it,
