Spring Weather Clearing Coal Situation-Appeal
 for Delivery Wagons

Not a complaint was received at the office of the Jefferson county fuel board yesterday.
 The coal situation has been greatly relieved in this district and Secretary J. H. Duncan stated yesterday after noon: If this spring weather con- tinues for short while I don't be- lieve the board will have to com mandeer any more coal to meet the shortage"
 Coal is being received by the retail dealers daily and 1t is believed the worst stages are passed. Rev VI S. Brown, superintendent of the city de- partment of relief and correction, who has charge of the distribution of the several cars of coal donated by the coal operators, states that 40 orders were carried over and will be deliv- cred today and tomorrow if some Of the merchants who will be closed to- morrow will lend him the use of their vehicles, as the city teams were only loaned to him for last week.
 Anyone wishing coal and unable to buy 1t should notify MT. Brown, who will see that load is delivered.

possibilities of the development of the air are just beginning to be realized,
 '"rhe features that we claim for our product are protected by 16 patents now filed in Washington. We have solved the rising problem, and the "braking' problem. The cantilever construction, principle giving weight for weight. has been adopted in it's construction and the result is a plane of vastly increased strength The refined and improved construction of the planes make 1t pos sible to construct machine of much smaller plane area. with greater rigidity and yet with full lifting capacity.
 DEMONS FOR SPEED
 '"rhe scout model machines that we are building are demons for speed and at the same time possess that ever- strived-for quality of perfect control which results in slower landings and less casualties Fully 60 per cent of the accidents are made in the landings-be- cause the present type of planes require a fast landing speed that is in many places prohibitive.
 'The passenger machines for air route transportation will surpass even the dreams of the dirigible inventors The multiple plane construction Is coming for this type of machine-and we are right here with the goods when 1t comes to the genuine product"
 The proposition as presented yestcr- day afternoon was straightforward statement of the past, present and pos- sible future of this industry. The names of the officials and directors of the cr- ganization are among the most proni- nent of men who are in high finance, who have proved their ability to make a success by their past activities.

To perfect the airplane to such an ex- tent that it would be perfectly re- liable mode of transportation has long have died trying to solve the problem of capturing the air, or tanning the air so that it might be used by the in habitants of Mother Earth, and others continue to toll.
 What seems to be partial solution, at least, is the new Lanzius airplane which is now being manufactured by the Lanzius Aircraft company of New York The new company began its improve ments by accepting the standard build ing material of today, steel, for the con- struction of the new plane. The frame work of the craft is composed entirely of steel.
 I've have the real solution of the air plane problem" said MT Harris, repre- senting Carlisle & Co.,, to an Age-Her- aid representative in the company's new offices, 84S-S4s Brown-Marx building, yesterday "The government has long since given steel recognition when it was designated as the material to substitute wood in sleeping car construction. Is 1t any the less reliable in airplane con struction? Weight? Why by actual test weights in direct comparison to wood the steel construction has been found to be much lighter. What has become of the old wooden auto body?

THE RED BIRD KNOWS

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 I was so deeply impressed by the pathos of your appeal to the hedge- hog not to turn the back of his hand or Is 1t his tail?-against us that l cannot refrain from offering this bit of comfort: This morning January 20 at o'clock a. m. a red bird sat on his shelf by my window and sang-ac- tua1ly sang! in delicious deep bari- tone his version of that old promise about "evening and morning and seed- time and harvest" And then he sang 1t over again. And when leaped from my bed to make sure my ears were not deceiving me there, he sat, like a bit of "the fire of spring" prosaical- ly eating chicken feed from his pan on the shelf.
 So no matter what the hedge hog says, know better! Very truly,

SPANISH |NfLUENzA-.W WHAT IT Isl
AND H0WIT SHOULD Be TREATED
Nothing New-Simply the Old Grip la Grippe That
Was Epidemic in 1Ss9-90, Only Then 1t Came
From Russia BY Way of France and
This Time By Way of Spain.
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS.

In order to stimulate the lining of
the air passages to throw off the
grippe germs, to aid in loosening the
phlegm and keeping the air passages
open, thus making the breathing
easier Vicks VapoRub will be found
effective. Hot, wet towels should be
applied over the throat, chest and
back between the shoulder blades to
open the pores. Then NapoRub
should be rubbed in over the parts
until the skin is red spread on thick
ly and covered with two thicknesses
of hot flannel cloths. Leave the
clothing loose around the neck as the
heat Of the body liberates the ingred-
tents in the form Of vaDOrs. These
vapOrs inhaled with each breath,
carry the medication directly to the
parts affected. At the same time.
VapoRub is absorbed through and
stimulates the skin, attracting the
blood to the surface, and thus aids
in relieving the congestion within.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE.
Evidence seems to prove that
this is IL germ disease. spread
principally by human contact, chiefly
through coughing, sneezing or spit
ting. So avoid persons having colds
which means avoiding crowds
common drinking cups, roller towe S,
etc. Keep up your bodily strength
by plenty Of exercise in the open air,
and good food. Above all, keep free
from colds, as colds irritate the lin
ing of the air passages and render
them much better breeding places for
the germs.
IA nh n he
first sign of a cold. For head cold,
melt little VapoRub in q spoon and
jnhale the vapors, or better still, use
VapoRub in a benzoin steam kettle.
If this is not available,
use an ordinary tea kettle.
Fill half full of boiling water, put in
half a teaspoon of VapoRub from
time to time--keep the kettle
just slowly boiling and inhale the
steam arising
NOTE.
Vick's VapoRub is the discovery of
a North Carolina druggist. who found
how to combine, in salve form, Men
thol and Camphor with such volatile
oils as EUCALYPTUS, Thyme Cubebs,
etc, so that when the salve is APP
piled to the body heat, these ingredi-
ents are liberated in the form of
vapors.
VapoRub is comparatively new in
New York State and New England
and few Western states where it is
Just now being introduced, but in the
other sections of the country it is the
standard home remedy in over a mil
lion homes for all forms of cold
