GIANNI CAPRONI,

GIANNl CAPRoNi.
Gianni Caproni, the Italian inventor,
Is building a real air liner, according
to the latest reports. When inter-
viewed about the future there will be
in aviation now that the war is over,
Caproni was very optimistic. He stated
that he was building a triplane which
would accommodate 100 pa ssengers,
with all modern comforts, such as cab
ms and beds.
He explains that the war served to
reveal the practical importance of avi-
alton and to hasten it's technical per-
lection, and that now the airplane must
become like the transatlantic steamer
and serve as a means OF worldwide
commerce. For the present, however,
third -class passengers a not be trans
ported owing to the expense Of the
journey.
One of the chief aims, according to
Caproni, Of aviation is to be the trans-
| portation Of mail and merchandise.
Journalism also will gain immensely
by this quick means of transmission,
the newspapers Of Rome being dis
tributed almost as quickly In Naples
as in the capital. Caproni Is positive
Of the important results, but thinks
others will follow that viii be wen
more important.
Italy, especially, owing to Its geo
graphical formation, will benefit i'm
mensely by it being able to communi-
cate with the Dalmatian islands. Africa

FISH PRICE TO
 BE REGULATED
 IN NORTHWEST

SEATTLE, Feb. 26.-The reduction of fresh fish prices in this state has been determined upon by the state food administrator, Charles Hebbard, who has worked out a comprehensive plan for the proposed reduction, according to an announce ment made here tonight. Mir Heb bard was co-operated with in this labor by A. c. Dunn, chairman of the fresh fish division of the Unit ed States food administration; whole salers, fishing vessel owners, fish ermen and retail dealers in a two day conference which has just closed here.
 The reduction will be accomplish ed mainly by fixing an arbitrary wholesale price and the elimination of all chances for speculation. The fishermen will get no more than a reasonable profit on their time and labor.
 The plan has been thoroughly worked out and is ready to be put into operation as soon as it has been approved by the national food administration, to which it has been forwarded. There is no doubt that it will be approved.
