tom c. RYE,
Governor"

The state board of health, through
DR.. r. @. Lillard, executive officer, has
notified all doctors in the state not to
use smallpox vaccine points except
those sealed in tubes. This warning
was sent out following the action Of
the Hygiene laboratory at Washington
in notifying all manufacturers that the
federal government will soon issue
specific orders prohibiting the sale of
smallpox vaccine from any source ex-
cept when sealed in copellary tubes.
1t is understood that this action on
the part of the Hygiene laboratory is
the outcome of an investigation made
by the Tennessee state board of health
several weeks ago at the aviation camp
at Memphis.

AIRPLANE TRIPS FROM
ENGLAND TO AMERICA
FEASIBLE, BIRDMAN SAYS

London. May 20.-(Correspond-
ence of The Associated Press).-
Arplane trips from England to
America are quite feasible by use
lof machine travelling day and night
at the rate OF 100 miles an hour, de-
,clared F. Handley Page, inventor OF
type of machine named for him
in recent statement to the repre-
sentative of the Daily Express.
81 have received a cablegram from
Canada congratulating me on the
construction OF machine to travel
to and from America continued
the inventor, but | have no such
machine on hand.
The trip would be from Ireland
to New York, via Newfoundland,
being LOO miles. An alternative
journey to America would be via
the Azores. On the steady lOO-
miles an-hour basis you can com
pute all the long distance runs that
occur to you. including weekend
trips to China and Peru.
For short distances, such as Lon
don to Manchester, | am not in
clined to think that airplanes will
take the places Of railways unless In
case Of pressing urgency. A com
Portable frst-class carriage OF fast
train will continue to be more
usual course of travel. The airplane
has a great advantage OF speed, but
it has severe handiCaps in the way
Of wind and fog and other adverse
climatic conditions.
Il do not think that after the war
wealthy men will give up private
motor cars. Few people can afford
private yachts and pleasure air
plane would be as expensive as a
yacht.
There is no such thing as per
petual safety in the air, and this Is
bound to have an effect on the av-
erage man. am speaking, OF course,
OF the immediate future only. In
the longe results of time there are
infinite possibilities in the evolution
OF aviation.
There is an immense future Tor
aircraft as aids to the worlds pros
perity, but what | call the tourist
idea of round the world in forty
hours leads nowhere and means
nothing.
in the course OF time bigger ma
chimes will be built with more pow
erful engines to direct them, but !
can see no immediate prospect OF
turning out airplanes that will carry
as many passengers as ocean liners
We must continue to beware OF hot
ar in airplaae prophecies.
