mated today by President Wilson to be
secretary of the treasury of the United
States.
Mr' Glass will go into office on De-
cember 10 under an agreement with
Secretary McAdoo, whose resignation
was accepted by President Wilson to
take elect upon the appointment and
qualiilcation Of his successor.
Before assuming his duties Mr.. Glass
VIII go to his homo in Lynchburg to
ADJUST business affairs to which he
SAID he cannot give as much attention
as he did when member Of the house.
VIII Accept Post.
The nomination, which had bccn
prepared by President Wilson before

IN from the White House upon word
from Mr.. Glass that he would accept
the post Mr.. Glass resignation as q
member Of the house within the next
few days, after IS years Of service,
Will cause special election to be
held in his district to choose success
sor.
NO changes in policy Of the treasury

tion for this loan probably will CON
tinue.
The secretary Of the treasury is a
member ex-officio of the federal re-
serve board and has large part in
it's guiding policies. Mr.. McAdoo has
advocated the policy Of allowing
banks 4 rather free hand in the con-
duct Of their ordinary business with a
minimum Of restrictions by the federal
reserve board. Mr.. Glass, as one OF
the originators Of the federal reserve
system, has concurrcd generally in
this attitude.
Among many other problems the
new secretary will also be confronted
with supervising the work Of the war
finance corporation during the read
justment period. He becomes auto
matically chairman OF the American
section Of the American high com
mission charged with the duty of
strengthening business and financial
relations between the United States
and Latin-American countries.

FLYING MACHINE
CROSSES ATLANTIC
TRIP TAKES "a HOURS.

Baltimore.-One, of the dreams of
modern science, transatlantic aerial
flight has become a reality, according
to the United States Naval Institute
Proceedings published at Annapolis,
and by Flying, leading aeronautical
magazine, both of which relate the de-
tails of a transatlantic flight from
Newfoundland to Ireland.
In July of this year a Baltimore
newspaper told of the trip. Anthem
tication apparently is established in
the naval magazines accounts. The
salient facts concerning the voyage,
which is the first Of this kind to be
accomplished in the history of the
world are:
The airplane, carrying four passen-
gers. instead Of six, left the NewfouE :
land coast at 1902 a. M, on July %,
1918, and flew continuously, attaining
a height of $4,000 feet, for twenty
four hours and ten minutes, alight-
ing at Dingle Bay, ireland, at 1872 a.

WAR BOARD FIXES SHOE
PRICE AT $12 PER PAIR.

Washington, Oct 4-The maximum
price of $12 on shoes was set this af-
ternoon by the war industries board,
following series of conferences with
manufacturers and retail dealers.
Manufacture of shoes to retail in ex-
cess of $12 must cease on October Is,

grade of footwear is being bought.

VICTIM OF PLUNGERS
DIES AT POOR FARM

Philetus Phillips, aged rs years,
died at the county home last Thurs
day morning and was buried at Bos-
cobel, Saturday. His brother, Cletus,
aged 78, survives at the Home.
The story of these two brothers is
one of poor Judgment and misplaced
confidence. Their mother died some
years ago leaving enough property to
support the two brothers. Philetus.
a retired school teacher, was thought
to be cleverer than Cletus, an indus
trious but quiet man, and Philetus was
given charge of the family funds. All
went well until the Platteville mining
boom of few years ago. Visions of
great wealth swan before Philetus'
eyes. He forthwith invested the saw
ings in various mining ventures none
of which proved successful. Two
years ago the brothers went to the
poor farm. 81
