BLIND MAN ENJOYS FLIGHT
Appreciated the Thrill Of Intricate
Aerial Maneuvers Performed by
Experienced Pilot.

Thomas D. Schail. the blind con.

Lee of the British royal flying corps
In Washington recently. 1t was the
first time he had been up In an air
plane.
Congressman Schall was not salts
fed with the plain "joy ride" Colonel
Lee had given him. When they re-
turned to earth after circling over the
city at an altitude Of about two thou
sand feet, the blind representative
asked for more thrills.
"Finei Fine" he exclaimed, as the
machine came to halt. But, Colonel
Lee, II you wouldn't think me a null
sance, would like to go back up and
turn over"
The hpiane was wheeled into posi-

about two thousand feet. Colonel Lee
started the machine into series of
dips and dives. spirals and other aerial
antics calculated to make ones hail

the airplane was made to roll over
sideways and then drop into a beauti.

The passengers sightless eyes were
blinking with delight when his wife
ran onto the field to assist him from,
the machine.

Comparatively Little Is Now Being
Used for the Purpose Of Giving Dl.
rect illumination.

Although gas Is being used more
than ever before, its direct employ
ment for lighting is almost thing Of
the past. Our modern "gas lights" are
chiefly burners where the light Is not
given out by the gas at all. 1t is mixed
with air to produce a dim blue flame
with great heating power. This flame
serves to heat a mantle of min
eral salts white hot, and 1t Is this in
candescent mantle that gives the light.
Here the gas is used not for its light,
but for Its heat; and 1t Is as a fuel
that gas is now most valuable, says
the Literary Digest.
According to an address delivered
recently In England by President
Harry Jones of the Institution Of Civ
II Engineers, and reviews by Nature
Uondon), not per cent of the whole
gas output is now used for direct IL
Elimination. so that the name "gas
light company" has become some
thing Of a misnomer. The use of gas
as fuel, President Jones says. has re-
ceived special development during the
war. and the ready applicability of gas
appliances to the rapid making of mu-
nitions In emergencies has made them
especially valuable. Mr.. Jones quoted
a high official of the British war Office
as follows:
"Without the direct aid of the gas
. industry X. 1t would have been
perfectly impossible for this country
to wage the campaign Of the last three
years, or even for any but trif1ing
time resist the overwhelming floods of
enemies that were poured upon it.
When first was asked to take charge
Of the manufacture and production of
explosives it took me but a few days
to realize my absolute dependence on
your great industry"

British Rural Life chanoes

With women taking the place of men
workers, conditions in many parts of
the country are undergoing a remark
able change. This Is most noticeable
In parts where woman land workers
are making their homes.
The Woman's Institute is largely re-
sponsible for the movement. which is
gradually revolutionizing village life,
making 1t more attractive and stimu-
lating sense of citizenship. In con-
Junction with the food production de-
partment. parliamentary meeting Is
called which elects democratic COM
mittee representing farmers wives,
cottagers and landed women, who
thereafter manage affairs, arranging
for monthly social gatherings where
useful lectures are given. exhibitions
of housecraft or gardening skill held,
and old, treasured recipes and house
hold hints exchanged.
Several hundred villagers already
have their committees and the food de-
partment is inundated with demands
for organizers and lecturers.

BUILT BY ORDER OF CAR


The city Of Hardin was built to or
der for the one-time -czar OF all the
Russias, who, In constructing the
Trans-HiDerian railway. found that be
needed the little village Of Hardin as
a railway center and military depot.
Only little diplomatic juggling ives
required. and the village began to grow
up and expand before the puzzled eyes
of its peaceful inhabitants. The new
Hardin did not absorb the old part,
but was built beside It, so that the
farmers still continue to raise their
millet and wheat untroubled by diplo-
macy and troop maneuvers.
There are few Chinese and almost
no foreigners In the city. Russia dis
courages alien immigration, and by
agreement with China. only Russians
and Chinese are allowed to hold land,
construct houses or have any perma-
nent business interests In Hardin.
Russian railroad officials and workers
and Russian colonists and troops are
the chief residents Of the entire neigh
borhood.
Hardin is called the ''fiat city" be-
cause Of It's position In the level val
ley of the Sungari river, with noun
tains protecting 1t on east and west
1t is the -four center Of the East. The
fields are covered with grain. and down
