PLAN AIR POSTAL SERVICE
Is. Expected by Engilehmen to Be One of the First Innovations When
 Peace is Declared.

Alrplane postal service will be one of the first innovations of peace in Eng land. The problem is already being worked out In detail, even to the cost of postage and hours of collection and delivery. It is also said that within the first few months after peace a transatlantic airplane service will be established. Airplane engineers say that the problem of constructing a machine for transatlantic flight has been solved in theory, and machines which would cross the Atlantic could be built to-day if 1t were not that the long distance busses of war time must also be heavy weight carriers. The most interesting result of these peace plans ig that it has been found pos sible to arrange the collection and de- livery of letters between London and Glasgow with such dispatch that cor respondent in London will be able to receive a written answer within the working day. Applied to the middle West, an exchange says, this means that a Kansas City business man will be able to send c document to St. Louis, Chicago, Madison, Minneapolis, Sioux Falls, Omaha, Oklahoma City, Fort Worth, Texarkana or Little Rock when he reaches his office in the morn ing and receive it back duly signed be- fore he goes home. The estimated postage for this service works out at 8 cents per ounce.

ONLY CHANGE IN MACHINERY
the Same Manner as It Was Many
 Centuries Ago.

There are q few touches of humor il the countryside revival of knitting, such as the oyerlarge and the envious feminine group about the lady who, with practicsd skill, deftly turns the heel of q sock, but behind it all is fine display of service, says writer in the Detroit Free Press. When you see 0 sweater or mufTier In process of evolution 1t may interest you to know that the work is being done just about as it was when the art was In it's in- fancy. There have been great improve msnts in knitting machinery. however, and the first Of them was directly due to somewhat common malady-un- reciprocated love.
 The Rev. William Ice of Cambridge university, as the story goes, was deep ly smitten with maiden of his native town, Woodborough, Nottinghamshire, but in spite of hls ardent wooing could make no impression. The fair one calmly kept on with her knitting, then the common occupation of English women.
 In revenge Reverend William swore he'd invent q machine which would de- stroy the market for hand work. He kept his word, but Queen Elizabeth re- fused to grant patent and to give her financial support because too many of her subjects would be deprived of their means of livelihood. So the inventor took his machine to France. This story may be entirely fanciful, but in 1589 William Lee did reyolutIonize hosiery making by producing the knit ting frame or stocking frame.

SCANTy TERMINAL FACILITIES CAUSE
 TRAFFIC LIMITS
Report of Carl R. Gray, Di- rector of Division of Oper-
 ation, Asserts.

Washington, Jan. 7.---Inadequate terminals constitute the principal linn itation on railroads traffic capacities, said Carl R. Gray, director of the railroad administration division of operations, in his report for 1918, made public today by Director General Mo Adoo. This is one of the great les sons of the years operations of rail roads as a unit he declared.
 "Given average weather conditions" he said. "and with the exception of the Pittsburgh gateway, there Is no question of the ability of railroads to transport to destination all of the freight offering, either domestic or for overseas, provided there are facil- ities for prompt disposition and un- loading at destinations.
 "The controlling factor throughout our experience has not been in the road transportation but at the ulti- mate destination, and any serious conditions of congestion obtaining on any of the trunk lines en route has been the reflex of conditions at the terminals themselves"
 Taking up the Pittsburgh situation, MT. Gray recommended building 8 new east and west trunk line avoid ing the Pittsburgh industrial district.
 The extraordinary developments of industrial activities around Pitts burgh," he said, and the enormous tonnage which is handled locally makes it very difficult to use this gateway for trunk line traffic, and this is especially true when the through and local business increases coincidenallys as is usually the case. Physical conditions, which embrace a narrow gorge and a large city, render the solution of this problem exceed ingly difficult of local treatment. It is my conviction that as soon as prac- ticabIe the trunk line railroads through Pittsburgh should be reliev- ed by the construction of an entirely new line for freight purposes, con- meeting them east and west of Pitts burgh, but avoiding the industrial area"
 Referring to the limited embargo, or permit system put into effect dur ing the year, applying to shipments destined for over r-congested terminals, or specific consignees, the report said:
 "The permit system has fully just- fled itself. Every effort has been made to utnAse it without undue dis crimination. 4o it's successful opera ton is due considerable measure of the great improvement in movement which has been had during Federal control''
 Much of the credit for heavier loading of freight cars effected during government management was due, MT Gray asserted, to the co-opera- tion of shippers in loading cars full CT, and adopting different means of packing.

And Spain, Tool

Although neutral Spain may not be in the war, the spaniards are certainly in 1t. The French have been perfectly well aware. that hundreds of Span iards joined the Foreign Legion, at the beginning of the war; so that Paris was not taken the least by surprise when BOO Spanish soldiers paraded in French uniform to receive decorations for valor. The Spanish colony patri- otically welcomed them with fiery speeches, while the French loaded them with medals. Thr@a received the re- ward of the Legion of Honor, and scores the CToix Militaire and the Croix de Guerre. Since, from a strict ly legal point of view, the Spanish legionaries have imperiled their na- tion's neutrality, 1t will be interesting to know what Berlin will have to say about 1t; or rather about the 58 sink ings of Spanish ships and the 5s pro- tests made by Spain, which friendly" Germany has consistently ignored.- Christian Science Monitor.

Going 1t Too Hard

Overwork, worry, overeating and
lack of exercise and sleep are re-
sponsible for much kidney trouble
If your back aches and the kidneys
seem weak, rest up and use Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Jerry LawIer, 9Th St., East, Morris,
says: II was annoyed with disor-
dered kidneys for several years.
Every time 1 caught cold 1 was sure
to be worse. My back was very
painful and / couldn't get about to
do my work. 1 believe all the hard
work 1 did in my time on the farm
was the cause of the trouble My
kidneys would be sluggish in action
and would make me drowsy. 1 also
had a tired feeling and tried differ
ent remedies. Doan's Kidney Pills
did me more good than anything I
had used. Five boxes from Sylvand-
er's Drug Store rid me of the attack
and have had no return of it,
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr.. Lawler had. Foster-Milburn
