POSSIBILITIES OF AERIAL MAIL
SERVICE PREDICTED

Captain B. B. Lipsner, chief Of the aerial mail
section of the pOstoffice department, makes the
following predictions:
In three years, all frst-class mail will be
carried by airplane; speed for special deliver
les will be 200 miles an hour; single planes Will
carry five tons Of mail.
CAPTAIN Lipsner, who is said to be no dreamer
but practical man Of AFFAIRS also declares that
Chicago will be the natural center Of the future
American air mail service. He believes that
sunrise to sunset air mail service between New
York and San Francisco, with avlators using
the arplane equipment Of the army now IN ser
vice in France may materlallze.
A Paris dispatch of October 9, states that one
of the new, large allied bombing planes, In or
der to demonstrate its carrying capacity, has
brought from London to Paris, safely, full
sized upright piano.
One of the greatest aerial feats ever occom-
plished was performed last month by Captain
Schroeder Of the United States air service who
flew an airplane to an altitude Of 5000 feet at
Dayton. Ohio, and was forced to descend the
entire distance with dead engine.
In the official report, just made, OF the ex-
plot, Captain Schroeder says that IN order to
take an airplane to a higher altitude than any
other pilot in the world he found it would re
quire more than one or two attempts He made
three: the first one took him to $4,000 feet, the
second to $4,000 feet and the last one to 2S, 900
feet. He feels certain that he can reach 3O,OOO
feet. He says that the cold, thin air is one OF
the greatest obstacles.
Captain Schroeder reached this unprece-
denied height by a steady, circular climb, pass
ing through clouds at 5000 feet, II 600 feet and
10000 feet. AT 10000 feet, his goggles became
frosted, making it very difficult to watch the in
struments At $4,000 feet, he noticed the sun
growing very dim and he could scarcely hear
his motor. He felt very hungry, and thought it
must be getting late in the evening. He began
to inhale the oxygen and Immediately the sun
grew brighter again. the noise of his motor
gradually increased and his hunger disap-
peared. He kept ascending until his oxygen
gave out and finally the motor quit; so he de-
scended in a large spiral.

SENATE PASSES BILL TO CONTINUE
DAYLIGHT SAVING" INDEFINITELY

The bill recently introduced into Congress
providing that the daylight saving plan, instead
of closing on October 27 as provided for under
the present law shall remain in effect indefinite
ly until rescinded, passed the United States
Senate on October 10. 1t has now gone to the
House of Representatives.
A canvass of public sentiment in Chicago by
a newspaper correspondent reveals that the peo-
pie are greatly divided in their opinions re-
garding this proposed law Some prefer to get
up on the present schedule, although it may be
dark at breakfast time, in order to get shade
more daylight in the afternoon; others are con-
vinced there will be more conservation Of energy
and fuel by stopping the clock for an hour on
October 27
Professor Henry j. Cox, Chicago's official
forecaster, is very emphatic in his denunciation
of the Senate action. He says there would be
no saving of daylight by having clocks an
hour ahead after this season OF the year. AS 1T
is already beginning to be dark at 6 o'clock,
present time, and, as the season advances, dark
ness will last later into the morning, man get
ting up at o'clock, present time, would, in the
winter. use more fuel and more light for his
early morning work. Professor Cox claims that
instead of the plan being one to save fuel and
daylight it would then become one to waste re-
sources which we need so badly. In Europe,
they turn the clocks ahead an hour on the first
Of April and turn them back September 80, an
even division in the six-month span, and this, In
his opinion is the sensible plan.

STEPS TOWARD A WORLDWIDE
ANTI LIQUOR MOVEMENT

A worldwide movement against the beverage
liquor traffic, is the object Of the international
conference set for Columbus, Ohio, November
10 to q. Representatives from many foreign
countries already have announced their depart
ure for America to attend the meeting.
Leaders Of the movement state that there will

most general representation Of countries, or
CARNATIONS, institutions and enterprise that has
ever given united consideration in the opposi-
ton Of the liquor traffic.
The American Issue, in speaking Of the con-
ference, says
''The purpose Of the international conference
is to lay plans for the complete elimination Of
the beverage liquor traffic throughout the
world and to so formulate action as to meet the
problem in each country it is presented and
to direct systematic and organized endeavor
as the shortest route and most effective manner
Of Kidding the world Of the curse Of alcoholic

EARTHQUAKE SHAKES PORTO RICO

One hundred fifty lives were lost on October
II, by an earthquake which shook almost every
town in the island Of Porto Rico The greatest
loss of life was at Mayaguez and Aguadilla,
west coast cities, and in the intervening terri
tory.
At Mayaguez, seventy per cent OF the houses
of brick and cement construction were de-
stroyed or damaged beyond repair, The front
Of virtually every building on the main plaza
crumbled into the street, killing and injuring
people who had rushed out Of the buildings for
safety At Aguadilla, the loss Of life was due
chiefly to tidal wave which swept over the
town after the shock.

CAUTIONS AS TO USE OF SOFT COAL,

Directions as to how to burn soft coal in base
burner heating stoves, kitchen ranges and other
heaters, without waste, have just been issued by
the State Fuel Administrators AS many house
holders will have to depend upon soft coal for
fuel this winter, the directions may be of value.
The following cautions are included:
Soft coal ignites faster than hard coal To
prevent overheating stoves, watch fire and
drafts more closely.
Make it your business to learn how to burn
soft coal efficiently. The deputy fuel admins
traitors cannot be in every home. Won't you
appoint yourself the fuel administration repre-
sentative in your home to see that coal is burned
efficiently and not wasted?'
Owners of base burners are informed that
they can use clean Indiana and Illinois coal to
advantage preferably mixture Of No. 2 and
NO. 8 nut sizes. In the majority of stoves the
use OF nut and pea sizes is advised.

INFLUENZA sCOURGE CLAIMS HEAVY
DEATH TOLL

According to press dispatches, the epidemic
of Spanish influenza has subsidized somewhat in
eastern states but continues to spread in the
middle and far west On October Ii it was re-
ported that the epidemic had reached California
and Utah The disease is abating in Massachu-
sets, Ohio, New York and Maryland. A sur
vey of the progress Of the epidemic shows that it
has followed the course of the great railroad
routes, rapidly travelling westward from the At
lantic seaboard cities where it was originally
brought by vessels from European ports
Conditions are gradually improving in the
army camps, an official summary covering the
situation up to noon of October IA, showed. It
was then stated that the number Of influenza
cases, in army camps alone since the beginning
of the outbreak, numbered 25002O and Of pneu-
monia, 35,465, with total Of 1871 deaths.

SLOWING DOWN IN DEMAND FOR
GRAINS

That the advent Of peace will greatly upset
present prices is apparent to even the most
casual reader. This will be true along all lines
of industry.
Charles D. Michaels, writing in the financial
columns Of the Chicago Tribune regarding the
effect of foreign news on the price Of grains,
says:
Publications are that there will be a big de-
mand for all foodstuffs from the domestic and
export trade for long time, but at what price
is an entirely different proposition.
with peace abroad apparently much nearer
than few months ago, the situation in food
stuffs, especially grains, has been materially
changed of late. Instead Of the buyer looking
ahead for supplies and being anxious to antici-
pate requirements, it is becoming case of the
seller showing uneasiness and inquiring for a
buyer. How much this change in the situation
is to affect values is something for the future to
work out The government report shows larger
crops than heretofore expected and an album
dance for all demands"

eases:
Avoid needless crowding.
Smother your coughs and sneeZes'

According to Lieutenant Commander
owen J. Mink. medical corps. U. S. ~,
the most potent measure in the pre-
yention of the disease Is the use OF
nasal sprays or douches Of Dobell's So
luton. or other mild antiseptics Those
contracting the disease should be put
to bed Immediately and kept until they
are entirely recovered. The treatment
meeting with the best results Is the
regular use OF cathartics, hot drinks,
soup. with Dover's powders and aspirin
for the relief OF pain.
