The Transatlantic Air Voyage
BY II. H. Windsor, in the May Popular
Mechanics Magazine.

Even before this can be printed and
the first transatlantic air voyage will
have been made. France was the first to
announce an attempt, which unfortunate
ly had to be deferred, owing to cracked
cylinder. England is working desper-
ately to get an airship ready, and it is
understood our own War Department has
hopes also of being the first across It is
to be hoped the feveriSh anxiety, though
quite natural and commendable, will not
lead either of the contestants to under
take the trial until every possible effort
mas been made to insure su cess. There
are dare devil ''airnats" in plenty ready
to make the attempt even in the face of
minimum of chance of success, but let us
hope that success is guaranteed in ad-
vance, so far as such thing is possible
Crossing the Atlantic in plane today
really seems less of an undertaking than
crossing the English Channe! did at the
time Bleriot did it for the first time
There is a great difference in the two
flights, however, even after allowing for
the Improvement in air craft since that
day.
AS the birthplace of the aeroplane, it
would be most gratifying to Americans
to have the honor of the first flight,
which Will be an epoch in history, deserv-
ing place alongside the first locomotive
and steamship Our conduct of aero
plane affairs, however, ever since Wilbur
Wright made his first flight, does not
warrant any great expectations. We
hope to win, bu. shall be very proud of
the Frenchman or Englishman who car
ries off the honors.
There is doubtless no other one thing
OF a commercial nature which seems to
combine so mary unknown possibilities
Tor good and evil as the trans-ocean air
plane. With Its accomplishment, which
apparently is assured, we become the
neXt-door neigl hors of the other nations
of the world, with the same liability of
interference. The oceans, once our con-
fldent bulwark from attack, no longer
protect; and when the air becomes an in
ternatlonal thoroughfare, we can no
longer hold back, we can only defend.
With the air definitely conquered, the
world becomes practically city block;
and with so great decrease in immunity,
let US hope for corresponding hesitancy
to start a conflict.
ne theories as to II currents and at
mcspherlc conditions, favorable and
otherwise which the first flight will re-
veal, are many and conflicting The
probability, however, is that the voyage
Will show less difficulty from these
sources than expected, and will more
likely be reduced chiefly to engine per-
formance, which, like other mechanical
details, is capable of correction and i'm
provement.
And SO the next few months will bring
events OF as thrilling interest as any bat
tie OF the war, and likewise fraught with
possibilities no less portentous and mo-
mentous.

WORMS MAKE
SICK CHILDREN

Signs of worms in children are: "De-
ranged stomach, swollen upper lip, sour
stomach, offensive breath, hard and full
belly with occasional eripings and pains
about the navel, pale face of leaden tint,
eyes heavy and dull, twtching eyelids,
itching of the nose, itching of the rectum,
short dry cough, grinding of the teeth,
little red points sticking out on tongue,
starting during sleep, slow fever.
The safe method for Kidding the child
of worms is TO use DR.. True's Elixir. Mrs.
William G. BONN, of Caddo, Oklahoma,
wrote regarding DR.. True's Elixir, eve
have used it for our children for the last
twelve years and certainly know the
value of it" You can buy DR.. True's

MAINE METHODIsTS READY

The Western District of the East Maine
Methodist Conference is one of the first
to 90 over the top by having 100 per cent
organization in connection with the Meth
odist Centenary
Rev. A. E. Luce of Bangor, the district
superintendent, who with the pastors of
the local churches is largely responsible
for this fine showing, said yesterday In
his report at the Boston headquarters that
the Centenary has caught the vision of
the people and has made them see the
world need.
at has brought to the pastors new
sense OF the emergency of the present
situation and has made their work seem
more worth WHILE" said DR.. Luce. "To
the laymen it has brought realization of
the vital relation between Christianity
and progress. Real prayer has been
stimulated, and young people have felt
the call to go into Christian service.
Now that the organization is complete,
the W estern District is holding itself iii
readiness to do its part efficiently and en-
Enthusiastically in the great Centenary
campaign for $1O5, 900, 900 which is to
commence May 10.
potash producing companies organized a
National Association of Potash Producers,
and initiated plans intended to make the
United States independent of Germany
in the potash industry The men present
at the meeting represented practically the
entire potash industry of the country.
During the discussion it was stated that,
if the industry is protected from German
competition, it can within two years
time furnish America with an independ-
ent supply of potash. The country was.
before the war, dependent almost entirely
on Germany for this important product.
The Los Angeles Times demands to
know: "Who says the Government isn't
coming to the relief of the people? April
list the war tax on sleeping-car tickets
was reduced from 10 to per cent. A
traveller who has been paying forty cents
extra on his 81 berth in one of Mr.. Pull

of snoozlng has been lessened, but Erastus

A Letter From Germany.

Nevwied, Germany,
April IA, 1919.
To the readers of The Journal
Dear Friends. Since writing my last
letter to you through The Journal, you
will see that my address has been changed
from France to Germany, on the Rhine.
While in France my work was with the
s. o. S. (service of supplies) but here it
is with the famous End division in the
Army of Occupation. Our Army &C.
cupies the Rhine from Coblenz to the
outpost of the English Army on the
north. It is of course very beautiful
country and as spring is now here every
thing is in the budding state and that
makes it the more attractive. We are
Justly proud of our soldiers here, for they
are noble sort. They have been all
through the scrap from start to finish
and know what war means, especially
this the most bitter of all past wars
For the most part they are clean, intel
igent set of men, in fact very many of
the men who come under my care are
college men, who are capable of big
things in civil life. The other evening |
preached to a bunch of marines and dur
ing my sermon mentioned the fact that |
was born in the good old State of Maine
After the service was over, three great
husky soldiers fed on condensed milk
and salt fish, of course) came up to me
and said, "Mr. Gillian tell us where in
Maine were you born" With some pride
l mentioned Belfast, and then one of
them said he was from Augusta, another
Camden and another Portland. Oh, how
pleased they were to see somebody who
had seen their old home State.
We are in the valley of the Rhine sur
rounded by mountains on all sides, ana
an interesting part is that all of these
mountains are grape vineyards from base
to the top. 1t seems that both soil and
climate are good for growing grapes, and

Most Effective and Economical.

An expert pharmacist says that the
best treatment he knows of for those
whose blood is poor, nerves are weak.
llVerS torpid, or whose systems are gen
orally run down, is: Hoods Sarsaparilla
before eating, Peptiron after eating, and
Hoods Pills as necessary
The ingredients of these medicines are
Indicated, he says, in most cases of blood
impurities, nervousness, paleness, consti-
, patton, and are prescribed every day by
physicians who have long known their
efficacy, They are put up for physicians in
preparations whose formulas are similar
TO those of Hoods Sarsaparilla. Peptiron
and Hoods Pills, but these already pre-

have superlative merit and to be the most

which to take them.

Pills are products of the C. l. Hood Co.,

pect to have at least 10 per cent of

Our meeting last week was de-
voted to business letter of appreci-
alton from Miss Patterson and the

casey" Santa Claus to
Defy the Bolsheviki

New York, Nov. 2S.-Santa Claus
left the headquarters of the Knights
of Columbus at 461 Fourth avenue
yesterday on his long trip to Vladiv-
ostok. Russia, despite the ominious
cable reports that the Bolsheviki
have been waging a small war in
that city the past week.
The CHEEKY old man of the Natal
Day will be represented in the person
of William f. Fox, a member of the
board OF directors of the Knights,
who has been an associate of Will
liam P. Larkin, overseas director. He
took a very active part in the dis
tribution of some S7,000,000 worth
of free chocolate, candy, cigarets,
cakes, athletic equipment and other
creature comforts to the men who
won the victory for America against
the Germans in France, Belgium,
Germany, Russia, Italy and the Brit
ish Isles.
Now Mr.. Fox is hurrying across
the country to the Pacific Coast
where he will embark on a steamer
sailing for Nladivostok which will
land him in time to play Santa
Claus to the American and Allied
troops.

interest that is being taken. If you
don't want to miss things, please at

STEEL MILLS ARE
SHORT OF COAL
Fuel Becomes Pressing Prob
lem; Railroads Take
Most of 1t

New York, Nov. 2S.-The efforts
of manufacturing consumers to pro-
vide against the scarcity of steel that
is in sight for several months of
1920 and the policy of leading pro-
ducers to keep from overselling and
to hold prices in check continue to
shape the market, says the Iron Age
to-day. Coal supply has become a
more pressing problem. and as long
as railroads keep on taking the steel
companies coal, even that which
the latter are shipping from their
own mines. there is no dependence
on steel output.
In Illinois and Indiana four iron
rolling mills have had to close down
for lack of coal and others may soon
reach that point. Generally the
large steel companies have main
tanned output and there has been
some further gain from the return
to work of strikers.
Loss OF output by the steel strike
is estimated at 2,500, 900 to 100000
tons of finished material, and the
outlook for a material increase over
the present rate of production, with
winter at hand. is not promising.
That there are buyers and sellers
to whom the attempt to hold the
market in bounds does not appeal
appears from such quotations as $50
for rerolling billets, $50 for forging
billets and $50 for wire rods. Lit
tie business is done on any such
basis, but premium transactions are
likely to increase.
Railroad buying now comes up to
compete for mill space with tonnage
that was on the books before the
strike. The Pennsylvania Railroad
has decided to buy 100000 tons of
rails and have the price adjusted
later. Deliveries run over 10
months. The Buffalo mill has al
ready received $4,000 tons of this
total and the. remainder will go to
Bethlehem, Cambria, Carnegie and
Illinois Steel Co. mills. The Nor
folk 6 Western is inquiring for &c.
600 tons of 100-lb. rails. At Chi
cago pending rail business now
amounts to about 100000 tons.
