At least three causes have
contributed to the high prices that
are causing much hardship in GER
tain sections of the country. First,
the crop yield of wheat and other
farm products for the year 1916 was
below normal. Second, the people of
Europe have neglected their farms
and consequently there is greater
than normal demand for our pro-
ducts. Third, there is always a GER

Please let me know what tn, best
pressure in a tire is considered to
be. Some say there should be jus,
a slight bulge where the tire touches

that you should pump until the bulge
just disappears, and they claim to
tell the pressure by kicking the tire.
Are any of these methods reliable ?
r. N. L.
The only proper test is by means
of a pressure gauge. Multiply the
smaller diameter of tire by 20, if a
rear tire, or by is if a front tire.
This will give you the pounds pres
sure required. Thus a "a X 4 tire

INVENTOR OF AIRCRAFT THINKS
FLYING Still in ITS infancy

The region of the air is greater
than that OF land and water combined,
and when the flying machine Of the
future has arrived to the perfection
now attained by ocean steamers, II will
excel TO the same degree all other
modes OF transportation on sea and
land" ....... =. r..
This is the prediction OF John w.
BroHghtOn OF Philadelphia, inventor of
many types OF aircraft. given in an in
teryiew during the Pan-American
AeronaHtic Exposition which. was held
recently at the Grand Central Palace,
New York - -...-.
There will not be near as much
danger Of collision in the air as on
land and water, as on the latter all
objects move in the same plane, while
in the air the machines can go above
or below, as we'll as on either side. .
he continued. ...
Three Kinds Of AeToplanes
There are three kinds of heavier
than air flying machines: First, aero
planes in the various STYLES with which
the public is familiar. In starting
them II requires a considerable clear
space to run after the propellers are
in motion before they can leave the
ground, and taking as much room or
more to land. Then the helicopter,
which has a vertical shaft with pro-
peller at the top in order to rise d.
rectly from the ground, and the orni-
thopter with Tapping wings moved by
the arms.
Aviation has made the most won
derfaI advancement since the Wright
brothers made their first famous flight
on the sands of North Carolina. But
with all of the improvements, since the
science of aviation as compared with
the navigation of the water is only In
the sailing stage, and, comparatively
speaking, doubt If it has yet gotten
to the perfection Of the famous clipper
ships that before the age of steam
carried the American flag over all seas
and to all lands.
ITO reach the highest development
aviation must get to the machinery
stage, and when 1t shall have arrived
at the perfection now attained by the
ocean steamers it will cutrank all 9TH
err modes of transportation in the same
degree that the air is greater in size
