ITALIANS AS PIONEERS IN THE AIR

the time as secretary to Prince Cara
manico, ambassador of the king Of the
Two Sicilies. Lunardi made his first
ascension in balloon which did not
exceed ten meters in circumference,
in the presence of the prince of Wales
and an immense throng.
An Englishman named Biggin was
to accompany the rash Italian. The
initiation OF the gas bag was protract-
ed for more than an hour and the
crowd, thinking itself hoodwinked. be-
came SO threatening that Lunardi,
fearing the balloon would be torn to
shreds, decided to risk his life with
the bag half filled with gas. This
made it impossible for Biggin, who
weighed 220 pounds to go along. Lu-
nardi, however, did not lack company.
He took along dog, a cat and a pig

1t is interesting, in view of the
strides taken since that time, to know
that Lunardi provided himself with
two oars in the delusion that they
would help propel the balloon hori-
Zontally, up or down. The balloon had
not risen more. than 500 feet when the
pigeon flew away and one of the oars
was broken.

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most S, IS and prepared shampoos
contains too much alkaH. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain muisified
cocoanut Oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anythirg
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair
Simply moisten your hair with wat
er and rub it in. One or two teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. Tie lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and c.
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky
bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can set mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a Few ounces is enough TO
last everyone in the family for months.

What Italy Thinks of the United States

The letter of Basil Walters, former news
writer for the Palladium, now with an ambulance
unit in Italy, which was printed Tuesday, indi-
Gates the unbounded faith which the Italians have
in the sincerity of our aims and purposes in this
war. They revere and applaud our soldiers be-
cause they see in them crusaders who have eros
sed the Atlantic to avenge wrongs and help es-
tablish justice and righteousness.
One factor that has helped to bring about this
viewpoint is the profound exposition of the aims
of the Allies made in the notable addresses of
President Wilson since America entered the war.
Walters writes that excerpts from these speeches
are printed on placards and posted all over the
country to enghten and inform Italians about
pour aims in the war;
The tone of these addresses is so clear and
rthe principles are enunciated so plainly that the
italians unite with the other Allies in saying that
they are the best expressions of the purposes of
the allies that have been written.
Walters finds new morale and spirit in the
italian people since the Allies began giving them
aid and support. Perhaps the disastrous retreat
of the Italian army last year never would have
taken place had the Allies understood Italy
needs better and given her the artillery which
she needed so badly The Allies are to blame as
much as is Italy for the debacle that resulted in
the retreat to the Piave river
Now new spirit of cooperation has supplant-
ed the old feeling of distrust and Italy is coming
into her own.

Especial Correspondence of the Italian

Especial Correspondence of the Italian
American News Bureau, Chicago)
LONDON, Aug. 8.-The activity OF
Italian Caproni aircraft has won the
sincere admiration of the allied flyers.
In the immense theatre of war the pro-
gress of Italian aviation perhaps has
not received all the recognition it de-
serves. At future time, when the
history of the war Is calmly told in
facts and figures which cannot be re-
vealed today, the work of Italian air
craft inventors, builders and flyers
will furnish one of the most striking
chapters about the contributors to vic
tory.
The flight of Captain Laureati from
Turin to London in five hours drew
the attention of the British public to
this branch of Italy's manifold war
activities. Today the deeds of Italian
aviators in France demonstrate that
the marvellous flight Of Captain Lau-
reati was not an isolated case, and
confirms the great progress of Italian
industry in the field of military aero
nautics.
Balloon Flight Over London in 1888
The British public has traditional
admiration for Italian prowess in the
air, because here it is still wildly re-
called-after more than a century
what an impression Count Zambec-
cri, the first aeronaut in England,
made when he assembled over London
in 1888 with another Italian, Vincenzo
Lunardi. The event was one of the
most sensational happenings of the
close of the eighteenth century.
In November, 1888, Count Zambec-
carl built balloon of kid, three met
ers in diameter and weighing only five
kilos and a half twelve pounds.) The
balloon was shown in public for sever
al days. On the 25th it was three
quarters filed with hydrogen gas,
which had been discovered eighteen
years before by Cavendish, an English
chemist. The balloon went up more
than 5000 feet and floated in the air
for three hours. That was the first
balloon ascension in England.

No matter from what cause your
nerves went back on you; no matter
how run down, nervous or tired out
you are, get an original package OF
Bio-feren at once. Take two tablets
after each meal and one before bed
time-Seven a day for seven days
then one after each meal till all are
gone.
Then II you still lack ambition; If
your nerves are not steady and you
haven't the energy that red-blooded,
keen minded men possess, your pur-
chase money will be gladly returned.
Note TO Physlcians; There is no
secret about the formula of Bio-feren,
it is printed on every package. Here
it is Lecithin; Calcium Glycero-
phosphate; Iron Peptonate; Manga.

Present Sugar Situation
(By F. Warfe, Chief Publicity Bureau Indiana Defense
Counci)

(By E. F. Warfe Publicity Bureau, Indiana Defense
Councl)
The Food Administration is confident that
the American public will heartily agree to reduce
the household use of sugar here to a level more
nearly equal to the present restrictions among
the peoples of the Allies provided people
clearly comprehend that sugar, which with us is
often used in great measure as luxury has be-
come an essential element for the success of the
war among the nations of Europe. Upon our
action here depends the possibility of maintain
ing the ration to our own fighting men and those
of the Allies as we'll as of avoiding still further
reduction of the allotments to the civil popula-
tons of the nations fighting Germany, which are
already down to a point far under their normal
use. England, which before the war used more
sugar than the United States, has already re-
duced it's household consumption to two pounds
per person per month. France allows it's people
a maximum of pound and half, and the Italian
ration has been reduced to one pound.
Furthermore, unless there is strict and con-
sistent economy in the United States the supplies
for Belgium and those required by the Red Cross,
the Y. M. C. A., Knights of Columbus, Salvation
Army and similar organizations working for the
welfare and comfort of our soldiers in Europe
cannot be maintained
The situation when the united States races
in its efforts to maintain a fair distribution of
sugar to the Allied world is as follows: the sugar
supplies throughout the country in homes, stores,
factories and bakeries at low ebb; the produc-
ton from the American beet and Louisiana cane
crops have been disappointing; the yield in Porto
Rico has likewise been smaller than anticipated,
and the inability of the United States and the AL
lies to secure sugar from Java and other distant
sources on account of the imperative call for
ships for the movement of men and their sup
plies has materially reduced the supply from such
quarters. Added to this already difficult situa-
ton, the quantity needed by the Army and Navy
greatly exceeds earlier estimates, we must send
a large amount to France and Italy to take the
place of the great volume lost through the Ger
man and Austrian invasions, during which much
beet land was overrun and many factories des-
