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

London-Some of the wonders
achieved in aerial navigation and 9th
err wonders contemplated were spoken
OF by Maj. Gen. Sir F. Fl. 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 the
English channel. The mileage ira
versed was S,O85 and 1913 passengers
were carried, although flying was pos
sible only on II days.
AS for the future, the government
was looking forward to a weekly mail
service to India, for which rs machines
would be required and the charge for
sending mail few shilings an ounce.
Another route contemplated was from
Cape Colony to Cairo, for which air.
planes and flying boats would be used.
Suggesting that airships might be
adopted for long distance flights, Gen
eral Sykes said a German Zeppelin
flew from Bulgaria to German East
Africa, carrying twelve tons of ammu-
milton. When the Zeppelin reached
Africa and the commander heard that
the force for which it was taking the
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.

SOME KICK TO THIS MIXTURE
Hospital! Patients AduIterate Alcohol
With FormaIdehyde, Then Pro-
coed to Wreck Hospital.

San Francisco.-As real fire wa
ter nothing exceeds alcohol adul-
terated with formaldehyde.
This was demonstrated here by
Grace Wilson and George Clark, two
Migrants under treatment at the iso,
lation hospital.
The two awoke' several days ago
with an awful thirst, and no other bev-
erage, except water, being available
at the moment, they proceeded when
the nurse was not looking to imbibe
freely Of alcohol, a bottle of which
was standing nearby. Then they de-
cided to adulterate the alcohol with
formaldehyde. The effect was very
similar to that Of casting a match into
a barrel Of gasoline. Before the ex-
plosions were entirely over the furni-
ture in the room was nearly all
wrecked, while two policemen, who
had been sent to quiet them, had been
locked up in a closet. The two women
were then locked in a cell and charged
with disturbing the peace.

FINDS DIAMOND IN TURKEY
When Policeman Kills Him for
Yuetide Feast.

Philadelphia.-The proverbial goose
that laid the golden egg is back num-
Der to the turkey Policeman John
Burke rendered his family at
Yuletide. The priceless bird was de-
scribed recently by Burke to his fellow
coppers at the Thirty-nfnth and Lam
casteravenue police station.
''This year I decided I must have a
turkey" said Burke. 81 priced one
and when told it was 40 cents a pound
I threw up my hands in holy horror
"'But this is an unusual Bird urged
the dealer.
$50 I bought it. Now it so hap
pened that this bird also possessed an
unusual voice, a chirp of which it
must have been proud. 1t was a voice
I later found was nurtured on a spe-
cial diet. / killed that bird with an
ak to make the holiday feast, and then
alas I found my mistake. Under it's
voice box my wife found a pure, IN
set blue diamond. The bird had an
appetite for precious stones. If it
only had been allowed to grow to
maturity what treasure box it would
have BEEN"

ACTIVE TO THE LAST
Marines Fight on Until .Armistice
Is Declared.
Devil Dogs End Their Glorious Cam
paign by Capture of the
Meuse

WaShingtOn.-That marines were &C
tive in the world war up to the mo-
ment that the armistice went into eff
feet is evidenced in a division order
signed by Major General John A. Lee
jeune, y. S. marine corps, command
ing the Second division in France, a
copy Of which has just been received
in Washington.
According to the order the Devil
Dogs last act in the universal drama
was a final and definite conquest of
the Meuse river, where line after line
Of marines crossed on bridges hastily
thrown across the stream by the Sec
ond engineers.
The Fifth and Sixth regiments Of
marines, which received their bap-
tism Of ire at Chateau-Thierry, head
ed the Second American division I'M
der General Lejeune. On November 10
they had reached the Meuse, where
the Germans had thrown up strong
intrenchments on the east bank.
Bridging the river was "a hazardous
feat, but it was accomplished by the
American engineers under heavy ar
tillery fire. Crossing the stream on
bridges but two feet in width was a
still more hazardous business. But
apparently the marines consider
nothing too hazardous to at least at
tempt.
With the enemy's artillery and ma
chine guns pouring an incessant fire
upon these slender straws of passage,
the marines advanced. Time after
time an enfilade of fire swept rows Of
them into the swirling Meuse-but
they advanced.
The crossing finally effected, they
pressed on with undaunted courage
and stormed the Huns stronghold on
the east bank. The Germans gave way
before the impetus of that furious
charge and the marines again found
themselves victors in their last great
battle Of the war.

WEAK IN AIR AT THE START
Great Britain Had but Four Squad
rons of AirpIanes, but Made
Rapid Strides.

London.-The declaration of war by
Great Britain at midnight, August 5,
1914, found the Royal Flying corps
with only four squadrons in being
representing well under 100 airplanes.
Three Of these squadrons went instant
ly to France. A new squadron fol-
lowed these pioneers in about ten days
time, while a fifth squadron modified
and set out in "a hours, reaching the
fighting zone about the middle of Sep
TENDER.
In those early days Of the war ma
chimes were used simply for strategical
reconnaissance. 1t was not until after
the battle of the Aisne, when settled
lines of warfare were established, that
artillery fire control from the air and
the cruder forms of cooperation with
the infantry were practiced and de-
yeloped

GOOD PRICE FOR CRADLE
The Family Relic Brings 500 for the
Red Cross Fund in
Kansas.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan.-1t is not
every man who has the satisfaction Of
seeing the old-faShioned cradle in
which he was lulled to sleep more than
forty years ago sell at an auction sale
for the Red Cross for $500 cash by
way of finishing up its days of useful
ness.
This, however, was the experience
Of E. G. and A. t. Croker of this
county, extensive cattle men and large
land owners, the latter state senator
of this district.
At the public auction of A. T. Fent,
a hatfield farmer, the much-used and
old-fashioned cradle, which had done
service for the Croker brothers, was
offered for sale. 1t was bid in many
times and was finally sold and retained
by n. Gos1er, cashier of the hatfield
Green State bank, after it had brought
in receipts totaling 500.

Remember the Golden Rule.

Perhaps the person isn't living who
hasn't certain little peculiarities, but
that is no reason why some narrow.
minded individual should take it upon
herself to weave into whole cloth those
tiny, discordant Rawlings and then
pass on her discovery" to anyone who
will listen. If the listener is a believer
in the Golden Rule she will not only
turn deaf ear to such a recital, but
dismiss her uncharitable informant as
quickly as possible.-Exchange.

Secret of Concentration.

One reason for the remarkable pow
ers Of concentration possessed by
some is the intense love Of their work
into which they throw themselves
with such ardor as to forget every
thing else about them. And this, after
all, is the secret of all successful

Col. Oscar j. Charles, one of the
hest known young officers in the army,
was wounded September % by a shell
fragment which drove his water can
teen into his leg below the knee. He
refused medical attention, removed
the canteen himself, had it reflled,
and served wounded men near him
with water from it and kept command
of his regiment until the battle was
over. Colonel Charles was at one time
adjutante at West Point, served
through the Spanish war with distinc-
ton, was in the Moro campaign, and
was one of the first officers to ask
transfer to line service in the recent
conflict. He commanded the Three

Bird Saves Boys Life
on French Battlefield

Manchester, y. H-How a
bird on a battlefield of France
indirectly saved the life of Pri- ]
vate Edward Lassonde of the
United States heavy artillery
was told by the young man in 4
a letter to his father.
Lassonde said that he was
riding on a caisson loaded with
ammunition when a bird began
to circle about his head. 1t
flew SO close that its wings al
most brushed Lassonde's cap.
Finally the young soldier sprang
from his seat and ran after
the bird. Just then a German
shell struck the caisson and it
went up with a mighty explo-
sion. The Manchester boys
chase of the bird saved him
from injury or death.

rid of cold is to take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. This preparation has been in use for
many years and it's value fully proven. No
matter what remedy you use, however, care
must be taken not to contract second cold be-
fore you have recovered from the first one, and
there is serious danger os this. man of mid
die age or older should go to bed and stay in bed
until fully recovered. 1t is better to stay in
bed three days at the start than three weeks
