TRAVEL IN AIR SAFE
Passengers viii Be as Secure as
on Ground.
British Government Is Looking For
ward to Weekly Mail Service
to India.

I.onlOn.-SOme of the wonders
achieved In aerial navigation and 9TH
err wonders contemplated were spoken
of by Maj. Gen. Sir f. IL. Sykes, chief
of the air staff in an address before
the chamber of commerce.
1t was asserted by General Sykes
that in four months, between July and
October. 20 trips were made across tn"
English channel Tie mileage ira
versed was S,0S5 ana 1913 passengers
were carried, althougl flying was pos
sible only on II days.
AS for the future, the government
was looking forward to Il weekly mail
service to India, for which - machines
would be required and the charge fer
sending mail Il few shllngs an ounce.
Another route contemplated was from
Cape Colony to Cairo, for Which air
planes and flying boats would be used.
Suggesting that aIrShps might be
adopted for long distance flights, Gen
eral Sykes said German Zeppelin
flew from Bulgaria to German East
Africa, carrying twelve tons of amlnu-
milton. When the Zeppelin reached
Africa and the con mander heard that
the force fer which il was taking III"
ammunition had surrendered the diri
gible made the return journey, reach
ing home safely after having been in
the air without landing for four days

HE HAS 100 BULLET SCARS
Soldier Coming Back Minus a Hand

With his right hand shot away and
more than hundred bullet sears on
his body Domnick Ciamacco, an ltal-
ian of Dunbar, Pa, Il member of Com
pany X, Three Hundred and Twenty

home. He was wounded the night OF
July while leading a scouting patrol

and in the glare of flares the party
made good targets for the enemy ma
chine gunners. All of the party with
the exception of Ciamacco were killed.
Ciamacco, as the attending physician
recorded him, was "shot full of holes
He was barely alive when picked up,
almost every portion of his body hav-
ing been struck by machine-gun bull
lets. His right arm was so badly
shattered that amputation of the hand
was necessary. Virtually all the flesh
was shot from his right leg, and only
Il delicate skin-grafting operation
saved it. For several days he fingered
between life and death, but finally he
gained sufficient strength to permit
his being sent home.

USE or PARAYANES
SAVES MANY lives
British Invention Which Picked
Up Mines Ahead of the
Vessels.

Hundreds of American bluejackets
undoubtedly were saved from death
because the American warships, while
proceeding through the mine-strewn
seas, were equipped with paravanes,
through courtesy of the British admi-
rally.
Fitted with paravanes, the warships
fished out any mines ahead OF the
vessels. Novces often mistOok the ap'
paratus for torpedoes. The thing made
a humming sound when adjusted to a
speeding ship, owing to friction.
The paravane consists of water
plane shaped like torpedo, having
pair of large fiat fins projecting on
either side of It's body. The tail Is
fitted with rudders to keep the thing
at any set depth. 1t Is towed over
side by wire rope which runs from
the ships bows outward. The wire
rope is intended to pick up the moor
ing ropes of mines and slide them
along till they reach the nose of the
paravanes, where n sharp saw Is fixed
inside V-shaped slot, The saw cuts
through the mooring rope and allows
the mine to float free, where 1t can be
either avoided or destroyed.
Due to the cable and fin arrange
ment the twin paravanes kept diagon.
ally ahead of the vessel. Naval men
say the invention did more than any
othar single device TO defeat Ger.
many'S policy of attrition.

SMUGGLING BY AIR
Powerful AirpIanes Being Used on
Mexican Border.
Authorities Say That Contrahand
Traffic Is Carried Across
Rio Grande.

Laredo, Text is the firm conytc-
ton of Mexican customs officials on
the lower Rio Grande border that
systematic smuggling by means of
powerful airplanes is being conducted
between that country and the United
States. The American authorities on
this side of the international boun-
Diary are not yet convinced that con-
traband goods are being carried In
this manner from one country to the
other although they freely admit that
it is possible if not very probable that
tins is being done.
If evasion of the export and import
duties by this means is not already
being carried on ii is only question
of time when the airplane will be
brought into service for that purpose,
It IS predicted by custom officials here
and at other places on the Mexican
border.
II is with considerable circumstan-
tial detail that the story is told of
the aerial traffic by professional
smugglers. Jose Longoria, n Mexican
river guard stationed at San lgnacio,
about sixty miles below Laredo, made
report to his superior officer about
three weeks ago that while on duty
late at night he saw moving lights
pass high above him and heard the
whirr of n motor. The object was
headed north and came from some
point to the south in Mexico. Similar
reports were made by other Mexicans
who asserted that they saw the
.strange aerial machine go back and
forward across the Rio Grande on sew
eral different nights. Up to this time
no confederation Of the stories told by
the MeXicans have come from Ameri-
can river guards.
1t is recommended by the custom
authorities of both Mexico and the
United States who are on duty along
the Rio Grande that airplane control
service be established on both sides
of the river ut the earliest possible
time.

Mr.. Samuel Doughboy has become
2 much married man since he set ont
to make the world safe for democ-
racy, and the United States consular
authorities throughout the British
isles are having no end of trouble try
ing to straighten out his marital diff.
culties.
OF approximately million MEM
hers of the Doughboy family who
passed through England on their way
to glory and everlasting fame In the
fighting line, several thousand (the ex-
act number Is not yet known) took
pretty English. Irish and Scotch girls
unto themselves as wives.
Simply Could Not Resist.
1t appears Mr.. Doughboy has more
time to himself in the British Isles
than during his Sojourn in France,
hence there have been more marriages
to British girls than to French girls.
Not that our soldiers and sail0ra care
less for the dark-eyed beauties OF the
romantic country they have played
such prominent part in saving from
German oppression, but here In Eng
land and Ireland and Scotland they
just naturally couldn't help themselves.
The girls smiled at them with lOve-lit
eyes and spoke so softly and sweetly
in their own language that they really
couldn't resist the temptation.
Everything was fine until Mr.,
Doughboy went away from here to add
his persuasive powers to those of Mr..
Tommy Atkins and Frenchy in throw
ing Fritz out of France and Belgium.
Uncle Sam, as we all know, was bit
slow with his postal service at the
front, and Mrs. Doughboy In England,
Ireland and Scotland became very
much worried, They asked the con-
sular authorities about Mr.. Doughboys
whereabouts, and that's just where the
trouble started.
Uncle Sam, to whom said consular
authorities are more or less respon'
sible, thought he had some claim on
Mr.. Doughboy. since he had fitted him
out with brand new uniform, kit.
ETC.. paid his expenses over here, and
even gave him spending money. But
Mrs. Doughboy protested that she had
first claim, and so the authorities have
been as busy as marrying parson
of Hoboken, N. j., adjusting matters in
manner that would not interfere
with Uncle SANS business In Europe
and at the same time would relieve
the anxiety of the many young women
who have hopes Of residing in the near
future in America.
Most Serious in Scotland.
Scotland, however, has produced
the most serious problem to solve.
Hundreds of wee lassies there say
they took Mr.. Doughboy at his word.
Apparently that's all that's neces.
sary in Scotland, according to law.
While the Scotch girls do not
doubt the sincerity of Mr.. Doughboy,
the fact that their mail has been SO
irregular since he left also that the
armstlce has been signed and soon
he'll be returning to America, has
caused them to inquire just where they
stand. And the American consular
representatives are burning the mid
night oil, blocking the telegraph and
cable lines, exceeding the typewriter
speed limit and nursing aching heads
to find out all about it for all con-
cerned

WORRIES OVER NO "KICKS"
Business Seems to Be Slack With St
Louis Complaint Board.

The city of st. Louis is expanding
$4,000 year to maintain complaint
board, whose business is to take care
of all complaints St. Louisans wish to
make. But the board has begun to
worry. There have been no COM
plants, nobody even kicking about
the amount of money spent to keep
the board.
The complaint board has issued a
system of complaint postcard books
with blank forms on which kicks will
be made, and these have been dis
tributed throughout the city in an
effort to stimulate the kickers. All
civic organizations who formerly did
so much kicking will receive these
postcard books, and the complaint
board is hoping that the public gets
busy and comes along with some
kicks.
