Proposes Inquiry
of Airplane Deaths

Washington, June 6-Believing thai
some of the recent accidents to avia-
tors at practice fields in this country
resulted from defective constructio1
and negligent inspection of the air
planes, Representative Hustled of New
York presented a resolution calling
for an investigation by a special com
nittee of five members of the HOUSE
to be appointed by the Speaker.
Mr.. Hustled does not want this in
qutry to conflict with the investiga-
ton into aircraft production now un-
Ger way by Charles E. Hughes AMI
the Department of Justice, and pro-
Vides that nothing in his resolution
shall be held to authorize the SD =
cial committee to take over the execu-
tive branch of the government in the
conduct of the war"
The proposed committee is to In
inquire into the cause of the acct
dents with view to recommending
such measures as will tend to pre-
vent similar accidents. The CON-
nlittee is to sit during the recess Of
Congress and to have all powers to
compel the attendance and test3rno7
of witnesses
Mr.. Hustled thinks that many of
these accidents are due to carelessness
in putting airplanes together. Ha
has reports on several accidents. In
one instance, it is asserted, the entire
motor fell from the machine in
fight.

WANT NEWSPRINT LOWER

| Washington, June 6-Arguments
in the newsprint paper hearing be-
fore the Federal Trade Commission
were concluded today with a request
by representatives of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association
that the price to be fixed should
be not higher than two and a half
cents a pound. Counsel for the man
ufacturers previously had urged that
the maximum price be at least four
cents. Paper is now selling by agree
ment at three cents pound.
Frank P. Glass, President of the
Publishers Association, issued a
statement which said in part:
THE total consumption of news
print in this country is about 2,000,-
900 tons. The different between the
four cents and two and half a pound
is $50 a ton, making an aggregate
difference of about $6O,000,0O0 per
year between the price asked for the
manufacturers and that asked for the
publishers.
'~Fhe attorneys of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association
expressed their confidence in the dis
position and determination of the
commission to reach a fair and rea-
sonable price from the evidence and
the arguments submitted"

of officers.
A New Jersey recruit, a f1orid
heavy set man who had been a hotel
keeper, when drilling on the field with
his company suddenly sat on the
ground. His astonished officer shout
ed an order for him to get up, but
the recruit did not arise. He said he
coldn't. Two fellow recruits lifted
him to his feet but he collapsed when
he tried to take another step.
His company grinned when he was
sent to the hospital in an ambulance
for they regarded him as a gutter"
but the surgeons found he was suffer-
ing from a very real but rare ailment
For days he could get about the ward
only on all tours. Under an elaborate
and varied treatment he is again
learning to walk and while he may
never be fit for first line service he
can do camp duties that will release
some able bodied man for a line regi-
ment.
Several recruits were found strong
enough physically but unfit for mill
tary duties because of web fingers.
Orthopedic surgeons deity operated
to correct this deformity and these
men have gone back to their regi-
ments with free hands for the first
time in their lives. In another case
where extra toes on each foot pre-
vented negro recruit from wearing
SHOES and extra fingers annoyed him
IN handling gun the surgeons OBJ
1glngly took off the extra digits.
Besides occupational theaphy is
playing a big part in Fastening cures
among the. more serious cases in these
wards. Physicians have found that a.
patient is much benefited physically
and mentally when he can be given
some definite work to offset the mono
tony of hospital days. Hence some
knit socks on bedside looms, others
weave baskets, make checker boards
and other games or do other work
that their condition will permit.
The orthopedic department. as # is
being developed at the Camp Dix ba se
hospital, has three-foId value. II
saves the man for the army, it keeps
him at his work and by the promnt-
ness and effectiveness of it's cures or,
permanent relief it saves a bed in the
base hospital which in itself alone is
a big item.

MADE FOR 100000

City Sheriff Abriola placed an at
tachment for 100000 on the property
of Samuel Katz, furniture dealer of
1924 Main street. Bank accounts of
KATE were also attached. Jacob Co.
hen brought the action against Katz
as he claims Katz agreed to sell him
the business at 1924 Main street.
When he was ready to complete the
transaction Katz refused to carry out
the agreement. Katz alleges that in
stead of paying down s12,OO0 accord
ing to the contract made Cohen would

Health Alone Paints Cheeks

formers - Grease Paints
Left to the Clowns.

Men and women who watch the
Barnum & Bailey circus parade when
the sun creates natural light around
the faces of the girls who ride on
spangled horses, often are heard to
remark the freshness of the riders and
the evident lack of cosmetics.
They are not mistaken, the girls use
neither paint nor powder at any time.
Such subterfuges for the glow of
health are tabooed in the women's
dressing tent. Grease paints are left
to the clowns.

The Firms have always objected To
being classed as Russians. OF Mongo-
liam descent, they were among h erali-
est OF the Oriental races to cross the
Urals and descend upon he fertile
plains Of Russia. They were gradually
driven to the inhospitable north by
successive waves Of immigration. They
are first cousins to the Magyars OF
Hungary and distant cousins of the
Turk. Like the Celts of Ireland, the
Firms were never able TO establish an
independent state capable of resisting
the external pressure Of Teuton. Slav

they were brought under the sway OF
the rowing Vikings, who organized o

Of the invention consists in providing

FRENCH ARMIES ARE
IN BEST OF HEALTH
Typhoid and Similar Diseases
Are Rare-Men in Field in
Prime Condition.

French Front, Cby mail.)-French armie.
In the field are more healthy than at the
beginning of the war say the medical
reports. This is attributed to hygienic
precaution and the betterments introduced
In the housing and care Of men.
Typhoid and analogous diseases nave be-
come very rare. During the first 10 days
Of January this year, only II cases were
reported as the total In all the French
armies, whereas in December, 1914, and
January, 1915, the average reached well
over four figures and was very disqulet-
Ing. The disappearance of these danger
Gus maladies Is attributed by the doctors
to the Introduction at the end of January,
1915, OF compulsory incubation Of the
troops with a~nti-typhoid serum.
The remarkable health Of the soldiers
In the field Is the more striking when the
conditions under which they live when
on active service in the renches Is taken
Into consideration. Then for weeks on
end they are subjected to tho most severe
trials. They must execute all the numer-
Gus chores inseparable from being cut off
from the usual life of mankind. In every
kind OF weather they have to bring up
to the front lines supplies Of food and
ammunition. They have to stand on
guard in rain and snow and mud for days
at a time.
When not on actual guard they pass
their time in crowded and damp dug-outs
where the air is always bad. At all times
In the front line sectors they are COM
PEELED to take their rest while fully
dressed and equipped so as to be ready
for a call to fight. Their fool Ii brought
to them by comrades just as dirty as
themselves, ard, as there are no oppor-
tunities to wash, 1t Is handled by hands
covered with mud and grease. In fact,
all the surrounds Of the soldier In the
front line are such as TO breed disease,
yet they seem rapidly to accustom them
selves to them and to maintain their
health.
Even throat and chest troubles have
diminished among the troops, thanks to
the improved conditions In the resi- camps.
where on coming down from the front
lines the soldiers are now provided each
with a trestle bed raised from the ground,
which is the acme Of comfort as compared
with the bundle CT damp straw usual In
1914 and 1915.
Measles and s~carlatina, which were once
30 prevalent, break out now only here
and there. The report of the 10 days al
ready mentioned tells of only 50 cases Of
measles and So Of scarlatina in the entire
