OCEAN FLOATS FOR AIRpLANEs

From the New York World
 In order to assure American super ioroity ill the air during the war, Alfred w. Lawson. maker of flying machines at Greenhay. Wis, proposes to place 50 airplane floats, well armed and guarded, 20 miles apart. over the ocean route from here to the other side, and in that way let American flyers, trained in this corn- try, get overseas with efficient fighting machines.
 Mr. Lawson says the scheme was an "eye-opener" to the war department au- last week. At the Park Avenue hotel yesterday he said:
 In order to gain supremacy in the air we need 50o0 machines in action every day of fighting weather Counting on a loss of per cent day in action ana 2 per cent from hard wear and making al- lowance for bad weather conditions, we ought to send over at least 730O0 planes in the next year. It is not practicable to ship them, but they can go by their own POWOi III easy IeldyS, IT we nave IlOdtS strung across the ocean, on which they can drop and get fresh fuel By the float system we could have 1000 machines at time on the way over for 150 days a year
 'The floats I propose would be of ship construction without superstructuic; dimensions 800 by 125 feet; each float equipped with its own power. with guns of longer range than submarine guns. with torpedo nets and wireless apparatus. Flyers could easily proceed along the line, for they would never be more than 12A miles from a safe landing place. # the floats were 25 miles apart. Suitable floats would cost s6OO,00O each. The Wash- ington authorities with whom discussed the scheme said they could see no fau.t in it. I suggested that we give 1t test on the lskes, for which would furnish machines and flyers. I am coming back in two weeks, when I hope for definite decision.'
 MT. Lawson has been making air ma chimes for il years. In the course of his experience he became a publisher and editor of Aircraft.

A GOOD DEED IN A NAUGHTY


 Early in the season you promisesd to keep my table supplied with vegetables from your war garden"
 "So I did, and I presume you have come to gloat over me because failed ito deride me and Haunt my failure in my face.'
 "Nothing of the sort. merely dropped in to say I'm sure you did the best you could and admired your pluck, partic- ularly on the broiling hot days. Instead of adopting a superior attitude and say- ing I told you SOL I'm genuinely sorry. not because I missed the vegetables. but because you were diappointed, and here's my hand on it.''
 But the hapless gardener had fainted. Being revived, he ever afterward swore that he had met the reincarnation of Abou Ben Adhem, who loved his fellow man.

A SHINING MARK.

| Never was the saying, death loves
a shining mark" more clearly demon
strated to the people of this community
than in the passing of Mrs Fred Julian,
which occurred on Tuesday morning of
this week at her home in the second
ward.
Mrs, Julian from infancy was CHEEKY
and bright; always desirable COM
panion. In her matured years she was
ever the gentle. inspiring lady, the
faithful daughter, sister, wife and
mother, the comforting and helpful
neighbor. All her deeds were thoroughly
Christianized by an Unborn nature no
buster. no sham. Her death has sad
dene1 this community very much, and
well it may.
Mrs Julian was born at Elk Grove,
southwest of this city. June 8, 1869,
and was united in marriage to Mr.,
Julian, Nov. 81, 1888 About sixteen
years ago they established home in
this city. Their united life previous
thereto was devoted to farming, and
with success which their industry and
intelligence merited
With the husband, two sons survive.
,lso her aged parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward Chappell, one brother, Edward,
all of Belmont. and two sisters, Mrs.
VIM. Thomas and Mrs. Allen Hunting
ton, both of Elk Grove.
Mrs. Julian had not enjoyed the best
of health for some little time and the
day before she died underwent an
operation.
AT the time of going TO press it had
not been decided when the funeral
would take place, because of awaiting
for their son Dalven who is serving his
country as an air pilot at Pensacola, Fla.
