THE AIRSHIP MAIL.

Postmaster General Burleson's an
nouncement that the airship mail will be
inaugurated within few weeks between
Washington, Philadelphia and New York
is important, if true. Mails by the air
route have been suggested, promised,
planned before this without any tangible
results being reached. Perhaps there is
more to it this time. The Post Office
Department asks bios for five aeroplanes
to be used in the Washington-New York
service. The War Department will re-
lease sufficient number of Hispano-
SuiZa 15O- horsepower motors to equip the
planes and the machines are to be cap
able of carrying 300 pounds of mail mat
ter a distance of not less than 200 miles
without stopping, at maximum speed
of 100 miles an hour, the minimum being
set at As miles an hour, the climbing
speed to be 5000 feet in ten minutes. A
special postage rate of rs cents per ounce
or fraction thereof will be charged for
this mail service.
Knowing what we do of alrplanes and
their work on the battle front, there can
be little doubt of the possibility of es-
tablishing such a mail route and continu-
ing it on reasonable schedule. Wheth-
er it will pay the Government, in actual
postage returns, to do it is another matter.
At any rate we shall see what we shall
see. Congress has appropriated 500, 600
as preliminary step and the Postmaster
General promises that the practicability
of the scheme is to be assured before the
establishment of the route and that, once
established, it is to remain permanent
service. Probably the mail for most OF
us will continue to come by train, truck
and trolley for some time to come.

Bee Farmers Declare Honey
Has the Food Value of Meat

A pound of honey or pound of sir
loin steak-which shall it be? That
there is as much food value in one as
in another has been proved at the bee
farm at the University of Wisconsin.
To emphasize the Importance of pro-
noting Bookkeeping in Wisconsin as a
profitable business pursuit, the univer-
sity extends it's endeavors to the bee
keepers of the state, in addition to the
instruction given the students in agri-
culture in classes.
Wisconsin annually produces about
1900 tone of choice honey, but the bee
keeping industry has not advanced to
the point of recognition as distinct
specialized branch of agriculture, al
though much of the undeveloped land
in Wisconsin and most of the present
cultivated land is not occupied as bee
pasture majority of it offers oppor-
tunity for excellent BIZ locations"

EXPERTS WITHOUT EXPERIENCE.

The instructions that are now being
promulgated under the Hoover admins
tration, as to how to cook and what to
cook, have no doubt done world of
good where they were most needed, but
the great masses of home-makers have
alre ady been conserving and economizing
better than any instructions now given
them so insistently could ever help them
to do. Especially has it got on the nerves
of many such people that the type of
Young woman who is trying to tell the

women with families-What they must do
to save the country, is often one who is,
herself, joke, as a housekeeper. Can
any such elmer" have anything in the
way of conservation to impart to mat
ron who has brought up a. large family
under conditions OF near-poverty? Scnmp-
ing and saving on the table is no novelty
for such families, and as for the wartime
Economical recipes, many of them are
simply extravaganza to the old hands at
economy. A certain society person,
has congratulated herself that she had
taken lessons in canning and preserving
which she is going to teach to the women
of the neighborhood near her summer
place in Maine, the coming season. This
will be carrying Goals to Newcastle in a
crisis when there is no coal to spare, at

an in the State of Maine. that couldn't

lessons, about the business Of canning.

Marooned,

Distress signals were seen flying from
Flat Island, one of the outer islands at
Jonesport, Monday morning of last week
by the keeper of Nash Island Light, who
Immediately wired the keeper at the
Three Falls Coast Guard Station No. 4,
who in turn wired the section COM
mander at Machias. The Coast Patrol
boat Virginia was ordered to proceed to
Nash Island, taking the crew from Sta
ton No en- route as the boat was short
handed and needed more crew. On ar
irving at the island they discovered that
two men, Eugene Beal and Charles Len
festy of Beals, had been marooned there
since Wednesday, Feb. 9th, with little to
eat and not much fuel, their boat having
been destroyed by the sea when they at
tempted to make a landing Their sig
mails had been seen by the Wass brothers
from the Eastern Harbor who rescued
them from the island only to be them
selves caught by the ice flow. The Vir-
GINA broke the ice for mile in order to
reach them, bringing them to Beals,
from where the coast guard crew walked
five miles to reach their station at 8
o'clock in the evening.

Editor Dinaley Has The Floor.

Dumping carloads of slate and refuse
of coal in Maine as substitute for real
coal began last summer and has robbed
the consumer of many millions of dollars
protests being disregarded. Now manu-
facturers get Fuel Administrator Storrow
to order an investigation after the horse
is stolen. Carload after carload of ship
ping screenings has been delivered in New
England and shipments continue. In
stead of investigating and talking, the
Government should have Communicated
the mines and prevented hundreds of
thousands of operatives from being out
of work and given quarter of million
mine workers chance to mine real coal.
The result is schools. churches, libraries,
shops and mills are shut down when we
should be working overtime. If there
was a more inefficient administrative
Government in great crisis than that
of mere rhetorical efficiency, we would
thank some friends of humanity to point
it out-Lewiston journal.

NAMES WATERPOWER.
Its Streams Drain 100 Lakes Which At
ford Great Storage Facilities

One reason why Maine is superior to
all other States in water power is the
number of lakes that are natural storage
basins. There are 100 lakes with an
area of 23OO square miles and this does
not include hundreds of ponds Engineer
Cyrus C. Babb, formerly in the employ
of the Maine water storage commission,
in making a report number of years
ago. treated of the various Maine rivers
as follows:
The flow of the Penobscot at Old Town
at its lowest is but one-third of cubic
foot per second per square mile OF its
drainage, due to lack of proper regula-
ton higher up. With scientific storage
the power of the Penobscot could be
vastly increased. The Presumpscot and
Cobbosseecontee have been so improved
that very nearly the full horsepower OF
their headquarters is under control.
The ST. Croix has tremendous unde-
veloped power, and SO contracted is the
area of the great chain of lakes above
that the storage could easily be con-
trolled. Above Vanceboro and Princeton
the two branches of this river may be
called a succession of lakes having 12O
square miles of surface.
Greater still is the undevelOped power
on the Kennebec, one of the finest streams
in the United States. 1t embraces
watershed area of $3.50 square miles. "
this area 1850 square miles are tributary
to Moosehead Lake, and this includes the
watersheds of Mts. Bigelow, Abraham
and Saddleback
From Moosehead Lake to The Forks
the river is torrent, falling 500 feet in
distance of % miles. At the Forks the
waters of Dead River join the main
stream. Within 60 miles OF the sea, hills
begin again to appear, and several enor-
nous powers are partly developed.
The Androscoggin basin is ITO miles
long by 70 wide in one or two places, ana
within this area are no less than l46
lakes, the largest of which is the Umba-
cog of the Rangeley series. The eleva-
ton of the Androscoggin basin is greater
than any other watershed on the Atlantlc
coast. At the outlet of Umbagoe Lake
it is 1856 feet above the level of the sea,
while the outlet of the Rangeleys is about
$50 feet higher.
The Saco River has the southeastern
slope of the White Mountains for its
drainage, and its course is 1900 feet above
the level of the sea- The area of this
drainage basin is 100 square miles. 1t
contains 85 square miles of lake surface,
and the river at Saco has discharge of
300 feet per second. Rising in such
mountainous country, its descent is rapid,
and in many places it falls go feet per
mile.
The ST. John River drains the whole
northern portion of Maine and consider
able of Canada, and embraces 74OO square
miles. A large portion of this drainage
basin is now a wilderness. There are
1900 small rivers and streams tributary
to this outlet of the $50 square miles OF
the lake surface in its basin.
The Presumpscot is one of the finest
water power rivers in the United States:
This is the outlet of Sebago Lake, and
more than 6000- horsepower is now de-
veloped on this stream, the larger part OF
which is utilized for the great paper and
silk plants in Westbrook. Lewiston

Textile Tests to ascertain
If Cloth Is AduIterated or
Misrepresented in Any Way

The laws of this country offer no
protection to the purchaser of mate
rails. Therefore to protect them
Selves women should know few prac-
teal tests to determine the content
and value of materials. The object in
making these tests is to discover if
cloth is adulterated artiicially
dressed or misrepresented in any way.
The following tests from Extension
Circular Al, Principles of Sewing. Uni
versity of Missouri college of agricul-
ture, Columbia, may be used in any
home:
1. If the water is dropped on cot
ton and linen goods, the moisture
spreads. the moisture spreads rapid
ly on linen but will remain unabsorb-
ed on the cotton for some time. This
is not always a safe test as cotton
and linen are often heavily sized with
dressing, which prevents the water
from being absorbed.
2. A much safer test may be made
by dropping glycerine on cotton and
linen. Linen will become transpar-
ent, but cotton will not be affected.
3. Crushing cotton and linen ma
terials in the hands will show the diff
ference in the materials, as linen
wrinkles more than cotton.
4. Cotton and wool mixtures when
moistened wrinkle more than pure
wool materials.
5. Material may be tested by pull
ing out threads and examining the
ends. Cotton fibers are short with
fuzzy ends, while linen fibers are long,
with uneven ends, usually pointed.
Wool fibers are short, kinky and stiff;
fihers of reeled silk are long, straight
and lustrous, while filters of spun silk
are short and easily broken.
6. Sizing may be discovered by rub
hing the material between the hands
to see if the dressing will come out.
Washing will also remove dressing.
Z. Each fiber has a Characteristic
burning test which may be easily dis
tinguished.
a. Cotton burns quickly with flame.
b. Linen burns like cotton, but is
not infammable, as it has less oil in
the fiber and less air in the woven
cloth.
C. Wool burns slowly, giving off
an odor like burnt feathers and leaves
a gummy residue.
d. Silk burns more slowly and with
less odor than wool. 1t leaves a crisp
ash. Silk leaves more ash when
weighted.
