HEIGHT zeppeIins Can Reach.

Basing his statement on accurate
measurements of a Zeppelin that was
brought down in England last Octo-
her, on known facts regarding the lit
ing power of hydrogen gas, on the
state of the barometer during the
flight. on the temperatures of the air
recorded in tn airship's log, Jhadoo
:Jahoz writes in Aeronautics as fol-
lows:
SIT would appear from the foregoing
that the latest type of Zeppelin is de-
signed to be able to attain a height or
1900 to $4,000 feet when over its OBJ
jective and after dropping its bombs,
but is capable of going even higher
under stress of circumstances and at
the risk of suffering some slight dam
age on returning to its base. These
conclusions accord we'll with Mr.. War
ner Aliens statements that these air
ships 'are built with a view to flying
between 10000 and $4,000 feet OF
course, on a short flight they could go
higher, in view OF the reduced quanti-
ty of petrol to be carried"

Auiator's LINGO.

The air service, like most special
branches, has its own vocabulary. An
officer of flying status, but who for
some a does not fly, is called a
"penguin." This name is also applied
TO a type of training machine which
does not rise from the ground. AID
officer in the flying service without fly
ing status is called a "kiwi" after an
Australian bird. A pilot is generally
called a "quirk." A flight Is called a
"ain," and if it is q distinguished fail
ure it is called a "washout." An air
plane is usually called a "bus." The
great hope of the airman is to spike
bozzle." or bring down a "Zepp," or one
of the smaller nonrigid dirlgibles
they call "blimps." The airman's pest
IS the "onion," or large flaming anti
aircraft shell which "Archie" sends up
MS a sort of bouquet-with sometimes
an unpleasant smell. "Archie" is the
general name for the antiaircraft gun.

VOGUE of Initials.

That the new vogue of initials Is as
bewildering as a writer in the New
York Statesman suggests Is made
abundantly clear by reports of commit
tees dealing with the Prince Of Wales
fund. Those who have been initiated
into the mysteries Of its administra-
tion and are familiar with the termtn-
iology in use may know that w. c.
does not Indicate the west central dis
tnct. but means war committee; that
N. r. F. signifies national relief fund,
and that L. R. C. Is meant local rep
resentative committee. But even they
must be bafled by the problem set by
such a procession of initials as G. c.
P. R. D., and fail to guess that what
is suggested by them is government
committee for the prevention and re-
lief of dlstress.-London Chronicle.

OWE THEIR LIVES TO WOMAN
How Mrs. John Hays Hammond Won
Fardons From Grim Old "Com
Paul" Kruger.

John Hays Hammond, an American
citizen, was in prison, under sentence
of death. He had been tried and con-
victed of high treason to the South
African Republic. One of four leaders
Of the reform movement in the Trans
vaal, he was charged with completely
in the famous Jameson raid, found
guilty, and sentenced to die.
Only one person lived in the Trans
vaal with sufficient power to set aside
the death sentence passed upon the
man who is known today as the great
est mining engineer in the United
States. This was Dom Paul Kruger,
then president Of the South African
Republic. He was m old man-nar-
row, bigoted and possessed of an in.
tense hatred for the eager, grasping
strangers who he believed had sought
his country only to despoil it..
John Hays Hammond was among the
most enterprising and, consequently,
n of the most disliked, Of the foreign
residents of the T%ransvaal. For years
he had been employed as an engineer;
first by Barney Barnato, the English
mining operator, and later by Cecil
Rhodes. to locate diamonds in Dom
Paul's country. Dom Paul disliked
him. he disliked all men who brought
swarms of eager reckless adventures
into his country. And he made life as
difficult for them as he could.
In 1895 the world was startled by the
news that a British a%dventurer, Doctor
Jameson, had led a roiding party OF
armed men into the Transvaal. The
raid failed. John Hays Hammond
was among those arrested on the ac-
cusation of having instigated Jane
sons attack on the South African Re-
public. He was found guilty and SEN
fenced TO die.
But the brave, cool-headed wife OF
the eminent American mining engineer
did not intend that anything disagree
able should happen to her husband.
Ever since their marriage. in lSSo,
Mrs. John Hays Hammond had fol-
lowed the fortunes of her young en-
gineer, no matter where they took him.
But when they threw him into jail
under a death sentence, she decided
that it was time for her to Interfere.
She made up her mind to see Dom
Paul Kruger and tell him that she had
come to save him from the crime or,
putting an innocent man to death. 1t
was not easy to see President kru-
ger. but Mrs. Hammond proved equal
to the task. It was not easy TO con-
vince q man who harbored q deep, 81
lent contempt for women, that a wom-
an was worth listening to; but Mrs.
Hammond was successful. Before she
left his office, Mr.. Kruger had prom
ised TO spare her husbands life. The
president of the TranSvaal republic
kept his word to Natalie Hammond.
Her husbands sentence was commut-
ed to Imprisonment for 10 years and
later Oh, he was freed on payment OF
a fine o. S125,O00, and Mrs. Hammond
had the extreme happiness of knowing
that through her intercession, not only
her husbands life but the lives Of the
men arrested with him had beeo saved.

MUST BUILD FOOD RESERVE
Mr.. Hoover Points Out Necessity Of
Continuing Our Conservation Of
Food After Harvest.
Bv HERBERT HOOVER.

"At a meeting of the federal food
administrators in Washington. repre-
senting all 4S states, it was the unani-
nous view that even If the harvest
does prove abundant it will be the
first duty of the American people to
place every grain they can save into
storage as against possible bad years
ahead In consequence there should be
no anticipation of unlimited wheat
bread until the war is over.
Some of the most inconvenient re-
strictiOns can no doubt be modified
with the arrival of large harvest, but
if we are honest with ourselves we will
maintain restrictions, requiring the use
Of some substitutes both domestic and
commercial; we will continue the re-
quirements of high milling extraction
and the elimination of the nonessential
use of and waste in flour and bread
1T is worth remembering that the
famine in Egypt 5000 years ago was
stayed by governmental foresight and
it does not require any Illuminating
dream to- anticipate that so long as
the war lasts, with its increasing
drafts for soldiers and munition work
ers, the world will steadily produce
less food. If we are wise a great har-
vest will mean the willing building up
of great national reserves"
