AIR FARES NEXT.

"Carfare" is q household word. Rail
way fare" is almost as familiar. All
signs point to the fact that "eir fare"
is soon to take its place in the ordinary
vocabulary.
The Aero Club of America is now en-.
gagged in charting important air routes
and choosing landing places. Four
main east-and-west airways have been
planned, with two north-and-south ones,
and one running along the Gulf of Mex
leo. 1t Is expected that these will in
time be crossed by hundreds of minor
ways.
The first one, as approved by the ex-
ecutive committee of the Aero Club, is
to be charted from New York to San
Francisco, touching Cleveland Toledo,
Chicago and other important cities.
The second is to run from Washington
through Virginia. North Carolina, Geor-
gia, Alabama. Mississippi, Louisiana.
Texas. New Mexico and Arizona end
ing at San Diego. Cal. At this point
one of the big north and south ways is
to meet II. running up to Puget Sound.
One from New York to Los Angeles
would tap the country between the first
and second mentioned, and one from
Boston to Seattle would take in the cit
les far north. The Gulf airway connects
the cities on the Gulf of Mexico.
The announcement from the Aero
Club states that the establishing of
these ways would give practice to many
aviators. and "as the dropping OF mail.
bags is identical with the dropping OF
bombs. the aerial mail service would
become practical training school for
military aviators"
Just how soon these plans will be
completed is not told. But If letters
could be sent in less than half tho nres.
ent time. most people would feel that
they were getting something worth
while for their three-cent postage
And as for passengers-better begin
now to save your money for next sum-
mer's vacation airfare.

SCREEN "BANQUETS"
ABOLISHED

Motion picture producers are re-
spending to the appeal sent to them
by Herbert c. Hoover, national food
administrator, to help conserve so
far as possible the food supply of the
United States.
First of the steps toward economy
was taken when Thos. H. Ince, the
producer, suggested in a telegram to
Hoover that the stage and screen
banquets which waste hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of food
annually for an effect of realism be
abolished.
The power Of suggestion that so
much food is being wasted is noted in
Ince's message. The.scenes showing
huge quantities served just to make
a picture true to life have a depress-
ing effect on audiences, the producer
believes.
Ince recently was appointed one of
four big motion picture and theatri-
cal producers to serve on the national
food commission. He said he be-
lieved every motion picture and the
atrical producer willingly would CO.
operate with the government in eff
fecting this economy.

A gun pointer in the United States
Navy, now on duty on an armed
merchantmen writing to his mother
at Fort Smith, Arkansas, describes
an adventure with German sub
marines in the war zone on a voyage
about the middle of July. On the
ninth day out, submarine suddenly
came up beside the merchantmen, too
close for use of its deck gun or tor.
pedo tubes. The naval gun crew
also was unable to attack, but a
member Of the gun crew picked up a
bomb and dropped It on the sub
marine causing an explosion which
sank the enemy. The merchant
ship was under convoy of a cruiser
and on the day following the attack
above mentioned the cruiser was at
tackled from both port and starboard
simultaneously by submarines. TIL.
torpedoes passed astern of the cruiser
and a salvo from both sides of the
cruiser at the two submarines caus-
ed both to submerge.

WONDERFUL STUFF! LIFT OUT
YOUR CORNS.
Apply a Few Drops Then Lift Corns
or Callouses Off With Fingers
NO Pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, with
out a particle of pain or soreness.
The drug is called Freezone and is
a compound of ether discovered by
Cincinnati man.
Ask any drug store for small
bottle of Freezone, which will cost
but a trifle, but is sufficient to rid
ones feet of every corn or callous.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callous. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callOuS will
loosen and can be lifted off with the
fingers.
This drug Freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or callouses, but shrivels
them without even irritating the
surrounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no
soreness or smarting when applying
it or afterwards. If your druggist
don't have Freezone have him order
it for you. (adv)

rounds from each batch of car
tridges are taken and fired from all

of the bullet is observed, and this
must not vary fifteen feet per second
from the standard Of 1900 feet per

The cartridge must be water-tight,

after these two days soaking each

out. A number of rounds are fired at

If the shots are not within a certain
radius on the target, which is some

HOUSES BEING RAZED BY ORDER
OF FIRE MARSHAL.

More than 200 structures, which
are a menace to surrounding prop
erty, have been RACED in Kentucky by
order of Fire Marshal Thomas Pan
nell. The latest successful effort to
rid town of this menace was in
Danville, where sixteen frame struct-
ures, embracing an entire square, are
being torn down. The last obstacle
was an old colored woman, who lived
in one of the houses. Her objections
were met by the owner of the adjoin-
ing property, agreeing to build her a
brick structure on a lot he owned
and trade it for her present domicile.
Bowling Green, Louisville, Lexing-
ton, Maysville, Ashland and Green
Vile are among the cities that have
felt the hand of the law on their fire
traps.
Forty hotels have been or are being
equipped with fire escapes and more
than that number of public schools,
and hundred of blue prints are on
file in the fire marshaps Office, show
ing the plans adopted for the, con-
struction of fire escapes on buildings
in various parts of the State.
The biggest cleaning up has been
in reformed livery stables that have
abandoned the housing Of horses for
gasoline propelled vehicles. OF open,
seasoned construction, covering great
spaces and filled with inflamable
material, these garages have caused
more disastrous fires than any other
agency in Kentucky cities. The stor-
age of gasoline in underground safety
tanks also has been enforced in most
cities.
Fire Marshal Pannell said he is
meeting with heartier cooperation
than he had expected.
