Italian aviation has established a new
record In the history of industry.
A New Born Industry.
To the immense and famous Italian
Industrial centers. already strongly
organized and active In general auto
mobile construction, was added the
new industry Of aeroplane construc-
ton. AS a result Italy today has over
10000 experienced workmen In this
field. and her government possesses
over 5000 military and naval planes
and is supplying others to her allies
by the hundreds. Many OF the planes

erected In three months time. Today
there are more than % aeroplane fac

the distinction OF producing the fastest
aeroplane In the world. the fastest

and the best climber.
A great secret OF Italy's success was
the large and powerful engines she
had already perfected In her automo-
bile industry. These engines, develop
ing from 800 TO 700 ii. Z. and later 800
H. z. and over. made possible the
building of much larger planes than

So they beat against the portal
Man and woman. maid and child:
And the July sun in heaven
On the scene looked down and smiled
The same sun that saw the Spartan
Shed his patriot blood in vain.
Now beheld the soul Of freedom
All unconquered rise again.
Aloft In that high steeple
Sat the bellman. old and gray;
He was weary OF the tyrant
And his iron sceptered sway:
So he sat with one hand ready
On the clapper OF the bell
When his eyes should catch the signal,
Very happy news to tell.
See seel the dense crowd quivers
Through all Its lengthy line.
As the boy beside the portal
Looks forth to give the sign,
With his small hands upward lifted,
Breezes dallying with his hair.
Hark! with deep clear information,
Breaks his young voice on the air.

The old bellman lifts his hand.
And sends the good news. making
Iron music through the land.
How they shouted! What rejoicingi

How the bonfires and the torches
Illumed the nights repose.

PRECIOUS OLD FLAG
Relic Of Continental Army, Recently

SO great was the interest shown In
the battle flag Of the Continental army.
found between the walls of an old
building, that IT is probable an ef-
fort will be made to have the flag dis
played In some public building as a
permanent memorial OF the Revolution,
says the New York Times.
The banner was found wrapped In
the bun and blue uniform coat Of a
Continental soldier. Moths had con-
sumed much Of the wooden garment,
but the flag. being made of linen, is
still In excellent condition.
The flag was found by Michael La
Vista in an old building which he
owns. He took the flag to b. NJ.

discovery Of the old flag was a good
omen TO the cause Of the people now
fighting in another war for Liberty
or Death"
According TO Mr.. Shepard, the flag
was probably carried in the battle
Of White Plains. Reference OF local
histories showed that flag Of the
same design had been carried in that
battle.

Of the Earth.

Every boy In the country should be
proud that boy like him was the one
chosen TO give the signal TO proclaim
liberty throughout the land and unto
all the inhabitants thereof"
The story Of this great day is told in
a charming manner in the verses that
follow:
There was tumult in the city,
In the quaint old Quaker town,
And the streets were rife with people
Pacing restless up and down;
People gathering at corners,
Where they whispered each to each,
And the sweat stood on their temples,
With the earnestness OF speech.
AS the bleak Atlantic currents
Lash the wild Newfoundland shore,
So they beat against the Statehouse.
So they surged against the door:

The delay in mailing ont the blanks
for the federal income tax returns to
many parts Of the country, has cauS-
ed the Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue to extend the time limit. within
which the return on taxable property
must be made by those Who are af-
fected by federal income tax.
Under the act passed by Congress
come months ago the returns We're
to be made not later than March lst,
Of this year. An extension of one
month was granted to both the indi-
viduais and the corporations.
In issuing the notice of the time ex-
tension the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue appealed to those affected by
the act, not to delay making their
return to the very last day. This will
cause a congestion in the Internal Rev

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE IT BETTER

For D good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been eonductinga
series of experiments having as their
object the improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it il interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest, and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way, lust as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took real Burley tobacco, grown
IN this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistaned it to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toasting:
made it into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public
Theresuit has been the greatest demand
ever created for any tobacco product in a
similar length of time.
The change produced by toastine is not
only most wholesome, but the favor is
greatly improved, just as cooking improves
meat, for example.
