Atlanta Gets First
Mail by Airplane

The arrival of a Curtiss airplane
at Gambler field at 1917 o'clock Thurs
day morning, carrying United States
mail from Macon, marked a new
epoch in the history of Atlanta and
inaugurated the first aerial mail serv-
ice in which this city has partic-
pated.
The fight was made by order of
Otto Praeger, second postmaster gen
to extend over PERIOD of three days.
upon the result Of which will depend
the establishment of permanent aerial
mail service between Atlanta and
Macon.
The pilot who brought the first
mail ship to Atlanta was Lieutenant
B. S. Thompson, of Mobile. Ala,
squadron commander of the radio for
nation at the Southwestern Aeronau-
teal congress now in session at Ma
con. Lieutenant Thompson is from
accounted one of the most expert
flyers in the service.
The other passenger in the mail
plane was Major Ralph Smith, of The
Journal staff, who was designated
as special representative of the post
Office department and sworn in as a
mail clerk to handle the mail to be
delivered via the aerial route
Taking off from the state fair
grounds in Macon at 1917 o'clock,
eastern time, the mail ship struck a
straight course for Atlanta, making
a landing at Gambler Field exactly one

since the plane followed the course
of the Southern railroad Cutting
across at several points to gain time.

YOUR AUTO A B C.
By OTTO PRANK
The SeIf.Starter

Don't imagine because you have
an automobile with a self-starter that
you can stand on the button and
thereby make 1t go.
Sometimes you've got to get out
and turn her over by hand, much as
it lowers your dignity and diScom-
modes your back to do it.
But your starting motor will give
you as little occasion for concern
as anything about your car if you
keep your battery UP and the connec-
lions tight and don't forget a few
drops Of oil now and then, placed
according to the directions on your
oil chart.
Next time I'll give you a few point
ers on the battery and genera tor,
but today just general once-over.
The starting motor draws heavily
on the battery every time you press
the button. There are a dozen diff
ferent types of starters, each con-
structed differently, but in each the
juice from the battery throws the
starter into gear with the fly wheel
of the engine and turns it over
just as you do when you crank.
It takes a lot of juice from the
battery to do that, so when you
keep trying and trying with the
weather cold or the car long out of
use, you rapidly weaken it to a point
where a service station must re-
charge it.
If the starter cranks the engine
very slowly it's most likely the bat
terry needs charging. 1t may be due
to loose brushes in the motor or
a poor contact. You may find 1t
in the switch. Most people will leave
it to a repair man if the trouble isn't
in the battery.
There are few points any one
can watch. Be sure that the ends
of the heavy cables to the battery
the connections-ar clean. You
can scrape these and get rid of the

How CIemenCeau at 70
STAYS Hale and Hearty

Premier Clemenceau's wonder
full constitution is ascribed partly
to the fact that he devotes half an
hour every morning to physical eX-
ercise, At 8 o'clock Edouard Lee
roy, his gymnastic master, arrives
to put him through a series OF
movements demanding the great
est f1exibility in all parts of the
body.
NJ. C1emenceau, attired in. gym
nastic costume, endeaVors to per-
form exactly the most difficult eX-
ercises. Sometimes, however, when
a sudden idea crosses his brain,
he darts from the room to make a
note of his inspiration.
For years the premier has not
missed his morning drill except
for a few days after the attempt
made to assassinate him by Coffin,
but he resumed it as soon as 1t
was safe to do so. 1t is to this
daily exercise that NJ. Clemenceau
attributes his indefatigable ener-
gy. Even during the most anxious
hours of the German offensive he
conscientiously went through the
drill and found that after a Sleep
less night it made him fit for the
strenuous tasks of his office. The
lesson is followed by vigorous
massage. Ten minutes later the
premier, who rises at in the
morning, winter and summer,
leaves in his car for the war office,
fresh and ready for the days
work.

Of current.
You can clean the inside of the
battery terminals with a round file
and then draw the connections
tight. ~"
Then there is ground wire that
connects the battery to the frame of
the car. You can keep this clean
and the connection tight.
You can be sure that none Of the
solution from the battery is spilled
over the top, forming a short Cir
cult
L once knew a man who. fused a
half day trying TO get>his car started
and found a few drops of water had
so struck as to cause a short circuit
and rob him of current.
If the motor turns snappily when
you press the button and the engine
won't crank, the trouble is probably
a broken spring or a roller clutch in
the starter.
If the starter turns the engine
over, but she still don't get under
way, look to the gasoline feed and
the ignition.

ROCKAWAY BEACH, L. l., May
s.-The first transatlantic fight

. today on the first leg of the jour-
ney. The route runs $50 miles to.
Trepassey, 1850 miles to the Azores.
The NC-3, with Commander John
H. Towers, of Rome, Ga, chief of
the expedition, was the first plane to
take to the air.
The NC-1, with Lieutenant Com

NC-4. with Lieutenant Commander A.

were close behind the NC-S.
The planes were escorted to sea
by a squadron of navy scout planes.
A 1ast-minute change was made in
the crew of the NC-4, Chief Special
Mechanic E. H. Howard suffering the
loss of one hand by a propeller
blade. His place was taken by Chief
Mechanic Mate Rhodes.
The flagship" of the squadron was

VIII All Drink Cure Institutions
Close on July /, or VIII More Open?

A few of them may remain open
as drug cure sanitariums, but the
indications are that there will be a
slump in the drink-curing institu-
tions.
A marked decrease has already
been occasioned by the prohibition
wave, according to one man who is
connected with chain of such in
situations. This corporation for
merly had 60 sanitariums in oper-
alton, but is now running only &c,
and in these % per cent of the cases
are drug cases already.

Sea Lions Used to D. - G.
Trail Submarines

The British Admiralty in it's
effort 10 keep track of enemy sub.
marines during the war hit upon
the idea of training sea lions to
trail the U-boats, and two lions
trained to follow the noise of the
propellers were actually used for
the first time in 1917.
officers of the navy decided that
the animals could be taught to
distinguish the noise of submarine
propellers and to follow it in the
nope of getting fodo. A buoy was
attached to the lines and a trawler
followed the buoy, ready to drop
depth. bombs at the proper mo-
ment.
The final stage of the game was
most interesting, as, during the
practice, when the submarines
came up on signal, the sea lions
were found on several occasions
already on deck barking for food.

Desperate Efforts

noon Thursday:

Chairman W. w. Bowden, of New
Orleans, reports that Louisiana and
Mississippi will go over the top with
little TO spare"
In such terse language as the
above, Chairman Haynes McFadden,
of the Sixth district, Thursday morn
ing set forth the situation in the dis
trict as regards the Victory Liberty
Loan.
A little calculation shows that it
could not be much worse, so far as
the state of Georgia is concerned. 1t
has raised less than half of it's quota,
whereas every other state but Ala
bama has passed the halfway mark
With room to spare and is confident
of going over the top. Alabama it
self, with $12.0OO,OO0 yet to get. is
not worrying, but Georgia has nearly
twice that much to raise, $23, 607,9oO
to be accurate.
Mr.. McFadden made no comment
whatever on these figures as he
handed them to newspaper men,.
Outcome in Doubt
"The bare facts" he said, and let 1t
go at that.
Yet in his office, throughout Allan
ia and all over the state workers
were doing their utmost to bring
Georgia out of the hole by Saturday
night. Some believed the trick could
be done, some believed it impossible.
but not one but was doing mis- best
to perform the feat, impossible or
not.
In Atlanta proper the latest avail
able figures for this edition were
those announced at Wednesdays
meeting at the chamber of commerce.
At that time $4,092,700 had been
raised against quota of $1O,772, 500,
leaving a deficit of $6,679,8O0.
