NEW YORK, April 25.-The opening
day crowd here did not go much
above the 10000 mark. The day was
trifle cool for baseball. and the
Yankees were handicapped in their
start by the fact that tRe Giants al
ready had opened the season here and
had been playing home for more than
week.
The. Liberty bond statesmen did a
rushing business at this particular
opening. 1t was announced in the
eighth inning. that the sales up
to that time had amounted TO
SI11.s $50. and the sales sim were
going on. Col Jseob Rupert. of the
Yankees. subscribed for $4,000 worth
OF bonds. Lieut.. Marty AIcHale, for
merly with the Red Sox. Yankees. and
Indians. was in charge OF one booth.
Nick AItroclS, who always makes a
big hit with local fans. was at HIS
best and found a very responsive
crowd. He entertained the fans with
his funny antics at first base. before
the game and on the coaching lines
after the game began, drawing many
laugh for his efforts.

To-day, what? We have an aircraft

OF thirty-five hours. It will run at a

allowances for adverse winds and the
occasions when to escape a hurricane

vertically by going high up or laterally

And when we cross the Atlantic, will
1t be by flying boat or hydropla ne?
And what is the difference between
these two types? To the layman there
is not much difference; but to the
flying man there is as much difference
as between wagon and a sleigh.

The big airplaue inventors, Of whom
there are IN the United States not
more than five or six, all have fine eX-
per!mental laboratories where are
planes in miniature, little engines,
little baby air tunnels run by baby
Liberty motors. These have devices
which color the air currents with pow
dered pigments, then drive the air
through at the same velocity as IN the
big tunnels, then photograph the d.
rection OF the currents.
Therefore when you take up a
scientific book on aeronautics and see
curved lines above the planes showing
a vacuum and curved lines below the
wings showing the angle at which
the air hits the fiat surface, and when
you see il all worked out by a mathe-

onc or the most attractive booklets
issued recently Is the year book put
out by Swift & Company, covering the
hctNities Of the big packing concern
dur1ng the year 1917. Serving as an
introduction is the address of the vice
president, T. +. Swift to the stock
holders, in which he tells of the abnor-
lnally high prices paid for live stock
IN Chicago and of the prices obtained
LOT meat; of the investigation by the
federal trade commission. and the H.
cenSing by the government of food dis
trihut1ng agencies and the limiting of
profits on Strengthening and meat pack
ing 10 . per cent on money employed.
Mr. Swift also told with pride of the
2,SOO employees who had entered the
various branches of the United States
service, and concluded with the state
mont that Swift & Company would do
their utmost to help win the war.
An interesting and iluminatfve sec
ton Of the booklet is that devoted to
statistics of live stock prices and pro-
duction, and another IS given up to
telling the packers service to pro-
ducer and consumer" Figures are
given showing that the net profit of
the company per head, 1912 to 1916.
averaged S1.22 for cattle, less than II |
cents for sheep and less than IS cents |
for hogs. 1t is explained that the large
aggregate profits are due to the i'm
mense volume of business done.
The booklet IS handsomely illus
trated with photographs and color
prints and the cover illustration, made
from n photograph Of corn farm In
Ohio, IS especially attractive,
