tremendous speed and in many in
stances is going so straight and
swiftly that the speed is too great
for the machine. because it was new
er constructed to Withstand the
enormous pressure forced against the
wings, and they consequently crum-
pie up.
If too, in an effort to straighten
the machine, the elevators should
become affected, as often happens in
trying to bring a machine out of a
dive, the strain is again too great on
the wings, and there is the same
disastrous result. Oftentimes, when
the patrol tank is punctured by a
tracer bullet from another machine
in the air, the plane that is hit
catches on fire and either gets into a
spin or straight dive and heads
for the earth, hundreds of miles an
hour, a mass of flame, looking like
brilliant comet in the sky.
The spinning nose dive is used to
greater advantage by the Germans
than by our own pilots for the reason
that when a fight gets too hot for
the German, he will put his ma
chine in spin, and as the chances
are nine out of ten that we are fight
ing over German territory, he SIM
ply spins down out of our range,
straightens out before he reaches the
ground, and gets on home to his
aerodrome. 1t is useless to follow
him down inside the German lines,
for you would in all probability be
shot down before you can attain suf-
ficient altitude to cross the line
again.
1t often happens that pilot will
be chasing another machine when
suddenly he sees it start to spin. Per-
haps they are fifteen or eighteen
thousand feet in the air. and the hos
tile machine spins down for thou
sands of feet. He thinks he has hit
the. other machine and goes hove

duct the hearings himself, but set
no date at which he will begin. The
failure of the City Solicitors office,
he said, to prepare papers necessary
to the Mayor acting as police magis-
was his reason.
The Mayor, since his advent into
office, wants a police magistrate He
said this some time ago, declaring
that the duties OF police court con-
sumo a half of every day, and that
the duties of his office require this
time elsewhere. A committing mag
istrate, he said this morning, would
have to be paid very considerable
salary, as such a magistrate is re-
quired by law to have a knowledge
of the law"
Wants Council to Act
"Action will be taken in Council
shortly toward providing for a COM
mitting magistrate" declared the
Mayor this morning. The Mayor add
ed that Commissioner Burtnett, who
sat in police court for two days dur
ing the recent illness of the Mayor,
is likewise in favor of a committing
magistrate to handle police court.
The Mayor could make no expla-
nation regarding the so-called
costs" of two cases yesterday in
police court, wherein two persons
arrested were fined $5 each, with
costs of SIS each added. Lawyers de-
clared last night that an even cost of
$5 is very unusual.
II don't think the alderman has
ever done this before" he said to-
day. "I think. maybe. the alderman
intended to impose $40 fines"
Alderman Caveny. who imposed
the fines, thought differently when
interviewed this morning.
The costs go to the Mayors Of

Improvement. The rules made by the

stringent regulations, asserting that
the establishment of a strict quaran-,
tine on those who have the disease at
their home might interfere with local
business affairs to some extent, but
the public would be better protected
from exposure. A temporary sacri-
flee in business interests should not
be compared with long death list in
