Soldiers Letter

Mrs. Ralph Murphy, of this city,
has received the following letter
from her husband, Private Ralph
Murphy, in France:
France, March Is, 1919.
Dearest Wife:
On this lonely and rainy Sunday
night l will take the time to write
to you to let you know ( am still
living, and in good health, and still
thinking of my little wife, far away
across the sea, even if you have for
gotten me. 1 truly hope by the time
you get this letter it may find Won
and our darling little baby well. 1
don't think 1 was ever in better
health than now. 1 have only felt
bad once. and that was in October,
during the time we were at the
front. For three days 1 fe.t so bad
l did not know what to do, but 1
came out all right after a while.
think l had a touch of pneumonia,
but l kept on going, and 1 came out
all right, and I have not felt bad
since, and I thank the Lord for it,
for this is a bad place to be sick. If
l am going to die, I want TO die in
the dear old U. S. A., and not in
France.
Well, received the cards you sent
me, and also the papers, and I thank
you for sending them to me, for 1
certainly did enjoy reading the pa
pers, as they were from home. I
saw the letter that you put in the
paper that 1 sent you. l would send
you a nice letter about all I have
done since have been in France, but
1 am afraid 1 would get a lot OF
things in it that I would not be al
lowed to put in, so I will wait until
come home, and then I will tell
you all.
l think we will be in the States

Garbage Disposal

One Of the big problems confronting
the city is the final disposition of gar
bage, ashes and refuse. For about
year the question has been hanging fire,
and although the first step toward the
use Of incinerators was taken early in
the year. no funds have been allotted
for any plan Of final disposition. Of
the several methods Of dealing with
garbage only two are in general use in
cities here and abroad They are the
reduction system, in which the garbage
is baked and the valuable by-products
recovered, and the incarceration method,
whereby the garbage is burned in high
temperature furnaces and yields clinkers
and Stag The burning method has the
advantage of permitting the treatment
of mixed garbage, ashes and refuse.
The city, instead of adopting modern
plan, resorts to sea-dumpng, perhaps
depending on the ultraviolet rays to
rectify all filth before it reaches the
bathing places.
The problem has been q pressing one
in New York since the abandonment of
the privately owned reduction plant on
Staten Island. The justly celebrated
odors emitted by many reduction works
the Barren Island plant was another
instance--the difficulty of living down
the unpopularity of any location for
either method, the great cost of either
system and the serious consequences of
a blunder Justify caution, but not pro-
crastination. The problem has been con-
sidered by the Merchants Association,
the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. the
City Club, the Citizens Union and other
organizations, and each has emerged
from an, investigation with respect for
the difficulties of solution.
What Health Commissioner Copeland
wrote TO the Board of Estimate seven
and a half months ago is true now: eve
have no proper or adequate method of
garbage disposal at present in operation
in New York City, and for the safety of
our people there should be a forward
movement to provide without delay such
method of disposal"

Philadelphia Primary

The nomination Of Congressman j.
Hampton Moore for Mayor at the Re-
publican primaries in Philadelphia as
sures his election. The other candidate,
Judge Patterson, ran him very close !;
but, although the machine which has
long controlled the city is bitterly dis
appointed at the result, there is no
thought of a bolt With the election of
an anti-machine majority to the coun-
Gil the defeat Of contractor government
is sufficiently decisive. The new city
charter will be tried out by men in
sympathy with it's purposes.
1t is not, as has been stated, vic
tory of Senator Penrose over his politi-
cal enemies, although his followers
voted for Mr.. Moore. The Senator did
not select Mr.. Moore as candidate.
That was the work Of the committee Of
100 Independent Republicans who we're
resolved to deliver the city from gang
rule. AS u matter of fact, Mr.. Moore
has never been politically intimate with
Senator Penrose. He is strong party
in some quarters on this ground. His
attitude in Congress before the war was
also displeasing to many. But he en-
tered into contest for the nomination
for Mayor under pressure from the COM
mittee, not from the Senator.
The fact that 298,942 Republican
votes were cast at the primaries, but
only 14,672 Democratic votes, calls at
tertion to situation which is peculiar
to Philadelphia among Northern cities.
Elsewhere a boss controlled party has
often been defeated by an Independent
vote thrown to another party. There
any reform must come from within.
1t is obvious that in such struggle
tagc. The Philadelphia machine has
been run of late by the Wares, who also
have street cleaning and other contracts
and who need city officials whom they
can use in their private business. Mis-
government has reached its climax un-
der the present administration.
Eight years ago the late Rudolph
Blankenburg was elected Mayor on an
independent ticket because the Republi-
can ticket was knitted by the defeated
faction But no permanent reform
could be achieved except by the purifca-
ton of the Republican party This the
Republican voters have at last accom-
plished. Unless all expectation is dis
appointed, the city of Philadelphia
should be for the next four years an
example Of good government 1t has
been an example Of misgovernment too

Why Fly High?

To most persons the achievement of
Roland Rolphs in flying to the record
breaking height of six and one-half miles
was merely a stunt, an undertaking
paralleling an athletes ambition to run
a faster mile or clear higher hurdle
than any competitor.
The glory of mounting higher above
the earth than ever man did before is
an impelling motive, Of course. but there
is more than mere mark setting to high
flying. There are material advantages
to be gained. Meteorological knowledge,
of first value in aviation, is to be had by
a study Of the upper air. But chiefly
high flying is attempted because it is

The tyranny of the tip was one of the
first things that struck George I when ha
came over to claim his throne This is -
strange country" Horace Wapole reports
him to have said. "Thc first morning after
my arrival at st. James's | looked out of
the window and saw a park with walks and
canal. which they told me were mine. the
next day Lord Chetwynd, the Ranger of the
park. sent me brace of fine carp from nv

New-York tribune., 1919-09-20

desired to determine at what altitude
man may fly. For, paradoxical as it may
appear, the higher men fly the safer and
more economical flying is.
The safety lies in the fact that the
upper atmosphere is much freer of
storms than the lower strata, and avoid
anoe of storms makes for safety in avi-
alton, both because of the difficulty of
navigation in storm areas and the peril
from lightning.
Lightning is the greatest foe that con-
fronts the aviator. This is particularly
true in the use of lighter-than-air craft,
such as the R-34, which twice crossed the
Atlantic. 1t was vessel of this type
that, ignited presumably by lightning,
recently fell in flames over London, with
the loss Of all on board
The economy worked by raising the
ceiling of flying is due to the lessened
resistance of the atmosphere at the
higher attitudes. Naturally, the less the
resistance the greater the speed obtained.
On the other hand, the rarefication of
the air at high attitudes causes reduc-
ton in the power developed by the
engines. This problem is being attacked
IN various ways, one being by superin-
ductlon by the use of miniature turbines
The great disadvantage of this plan as
SO far worked out is that the great null
tlplication Of gears that this makes nee
essary correspondingly increases the
danger of a breakdown. In a recent test
IN England these little turbines obtained
speed of 10000 revolutions minute.
Another plan contemplates engines
with set Of cylinders far too big for
use at ground level, so that if they were
run at full speed in the heavy lower
atmosphere the machine would be torn
to pieces. The pilot, by this plan, would
nave to use only fraction of his power
at low attitudes, increasing it as he
Climbed. This plan was found i,npracti-
cable in war flying, when tried by Euro
pean services, because the pilots. under
the spur of danger or excitement, were
prone to throw on all the power at once
with disastrous results.

lis debut in politics. Acting Governor
Runyon Of the State of New Jersey. who
is candidate for Governor Of that state
IN the coming primaries, on September 23
is having airplanes distribute literature
throughout the state. This is the first
