Height Effects In AirpIaininu.

Some effects Of airplane flights at
very high attitudes are described in a
recent English report. Height eff
fects" begin to be felt at 10000 feet
and become marked in most cases from
1900 feet up. The principal difficult
ties are cold and lack of oxygen
Strange to say, no airplane has yet
been devised on a plan which DELHI
erately utiliZes the heat of the engine
to keep the passengers warm, although
any tractor model has this effect to
some extent. The matter of oxygen
is solved by taking supply in a con-
ta1ner, which the aviator mixes with
air when he feels oppressed 1t is
feared that flying at very high al
titudes, to be made possible in the fu-
ture by further development Of mod
els, may produce a trouble analogous
to the bends" experienced by work
ers in compressed air caissons due to
the extreme pressure changes.

JerusaIem's Great Walls.

After 1914 Jerusalem was under the
rule Of the sultans of Egypt until the
year 1917, when Selim I conquered
both Palestine and Egypt, taking the
title Of caliph, and carrying off the
sacred banner of the Moslems to Con-
stantinople. Selim's son, Suleiman the
Magnificent, once more built the great
walls about Jerusalem. These walls
Of Suleiman are the present fortifica-
tons of the city. But the great walls
Of Suleiman the Magnificent are only
the last of a long series of walls
which, time after time, have been
built only to be destroyed. The most
tragical destruction not only of the
walls, but also Of the whole city, was
that which was carried out by the Ro-
man armies of Titus, in the year 70
of our era, in the reign of the Emperor
Vespasian.

TAG YOUR SHOVEL
DAY" SET FOR JAN. 80

Wednesday, January 80, will be
"Tag Your Shovel Day." set aside ma
tiOnally by the United States fuel ad-
ministartion to bring home to the
American people the necessity of do
ing their part in the emergency which
confrOnts the government, by saving
the additional 100000 carloads Of
coal which the country needs be-
yond the extra 100000 mined this
year to supply army and navy needs,
keep the factories running and the
homes warm.
On that day school children will tie
tags bearing instructions for coal
saving to every coal shovel in the
country. This tag should remind ev-
cry man, woman and child who uses
coal shovel that every shovelful
saved means just SO much additional
power and help and support for the
American soldier and sailor on the
firing line.
President Wilson's shovel at the
White house will be tagged by some of
the Washington children, who have al
ready been selected for the purpose,
and the shOvels of Gov. Philip and
Mayor Mulberger will be tagged by
some of the Watertown school chill

Climbers Imprisoned Atop Full

The wisdom of erecting huts on Full
for refuge in case of sudden storms
OF snow and rain was proved recently
when violent fall of snow and hail
burst upon the crest of the sacred
mountain. During two days more than
10000 climbed the mountain and sud-
den arrival Of the storm caught sew
eral hundred Of them upon the hilltop.
They sought safety in the numerous
refugees. When the storm burst the
police compelled all excursionists to
wait for better weather at Gotemba
and Tarobo. Relief parties were sent
out but were unable to get through the
drifts. Anxiety was felt for the food
supply, but the adventures came
down safely. For two days the peo-
pie In the snow were incommuni-
cado, owing to the destruction of the
telephone wires. These will be buried
before next season.

DON'T FRET ABOUT TRIPLES
Magnifying Petty Mistakes and Trou-
bIes Weakens Ones Ability to
Master Bigger Problems.

Some of us rather overdriven women
get into habit Of magnifying the pet
ty mistakes or troubles of disagreeable
events Of the day, the business day,
and making them out very big and ter
rible. The result is a loss Of energy,
for magnified troubles bring worry and
anxiety, which is q sort of poison to
the mind and even to the body, writes
Jessie Roberts in the Houston Post.
Don't hang on to sehe mistakes Of
yesterday. Tohy's will be easier to
manage if you haven't that drag on
you, and by little more frmness you
can soon get to the point when the an
noyance Of the moment gets itself set
tied in that moment and then is drop
ped.
We would think it a fool thing to
feed our body poison, even in the mi
nutest particles; but we feed our
nerves poison, even though it be in
small quantities, when we deliberately
fret and worry over small things, max
ing them huge and important by the
mere turning of them over and over.
These are strenuous days. Don't
weaken your strength by unnecessary
and harmful fussing over trifies. After
you have done whatever can be done
to remedy what has gone wrong, turn
| your mind away from it. Refuse to be
| dominated by small mistakes Few of
u.s. by the way, are terrified by a really
big thing. We rouse up and meet it
definitely and firmly, unless we have a
| yellow streak. But the small thing
| often breaks down our nerves-and
| then our nerve.

Chemistry Recognized Science.

Chemistry has been accorded an al
most formal recognition as the science
at the heart of modern warfare. The
British ministry of reconstruction has
pointed out that Germany selected the
chemical industry for especial nurture
in making its war preparations, es-
pecially that part of the industry deal
ing with coal tar derivatives, in which
field the imperial government gradual
ly won a temporary world monopoly.
The minister of reconstruction has ap-
pointed a committee Of six chemists
to investigate the situation in England
and to recommend a plan for making
the British chemical Industry self-sus-
tanning and equal to any call upon 1t
during and after the war.

Why not take citizenship away
from those whose words and acts
show them to be violating their oaths
of allegiance? America took these
people into the national family. IT
gave them them the rights for which
thousands of Americans died and suf-
fered in the past. This was done with
the understanding that these new cit
liens would defend those rights and
hand them on.
That citizenship was not given to
be used to destroy the rights of de-
mocracy or tC give aid to the autoc-
racy from which the people of this
country fled ard against which they
have fought for century Those who
IN this time Of crisis refuse to work
and fight for democracy prove their
unftness to enjoy citizenship.
Citizenship is privilege not a
right. Taking it away from those who
have abused the privilege is making
the pnshment fit the crime.

Washington, Oct, 23.-Long before
the Fourth Liberty Loan figures have
been counted up, or the honor Tags
have been entirely distributed, or
the money paid>in preparations have
been started at the Treasury for the
Fifth Liberty Loan.
The date has not been determined,
nor the amount. nor any other fea-

is that there will be another and 1t
probably will come in the spring OF
1919-in March or April.
I'll Whether present German maneuv-
ers for peace are successful or not.
the government by that time will
need more billions to pay the war
costs which can decrease only grad
ually even if cessation Of military eff
fort should come.
-, It is probably that there will be a
Fifth Liberty Loan honor flag, honor
buttons for subscribers, window cards
for the homes of bond buyers, per-
centage stickers, and art posters. 1t
has been suggested that the honor
flag, instead Of bearing five bars,
might carry the Roman mineral
''v.,'' standing not only for five" but
also for victory Applications for
the manufacture of these articles al
ready have been received.
