They said they desired lighter and slower machines in misty or foggy weather the visibility was so poor as to make high speed dangerous. The men declared that since July 15 not fewer than 15 accidents have occurred in which 10 planes were demolished and two a,viators killed.
 Aviators of mail planes at Chicago, Cleveland and Bellefonte will join in the strike, according to local aviators. l Twenty pilots at Belmont Park, all
 civil employees of the Post Office De- partment are affected by the strike action.
 Hamilton Lee, one of the dis
 charged aviators, said today in speaking of his dismissal:

20,OOO RUSSIANS BAREF00TED IN
 BATTLE LINES

Paris July 25.-Twenty thousand Russians. many of them barefoot and without rifles and unsupported by heavy artillery. compose the Northern Russian Army, whose front extends from the Finnish coat to Pskov and which is driving back towards Petro- grd a Bolshevik army four times as large, according to reports received here from officers of the American Relief Administration on the scene. These officers are working part of the time under Bolshevik fire endeavoring to provision and 10 provide medical supplies to this army, made up chiefly of Russians under prominent old tune Russian leaders. Officers and soldiers alike are clam bring for tanks, which had been promised them by the Allies and with the help of which they ex- press confidence they could reach Pet. rograd speedily.
 The reports of the provisioning show that after the arrival in some sectors early in July of white flour supplied by the Americans many of the Bolsheviki succumbed to the lure of white bread and joined their enc mics. One entire organization, known as the Green Guards because the men were green uniforms to render them inconspicuous in the forests and which was more than two thousand men strong surrendered to the anti Bolshevik forces.
 Before the American help arrived the Russians were suffering for lack of many things. There was no soap for instance, and cigarettes were so scarce that they brought a ruble and q half a piece. The improved condi- tions and the better food now sup piled the northern army is cheering up the men, whose morale is reported as compared with that of the Bolshe- vik opposing them. The latter, ac- cording to the reports, now have to be kept on the front lines by threat ening them with their own machine gun fire. Scurvy is said to be pre- valent among them owing to the scar city Of fresh vegetables. The Bolshe- wiki have arTnored cars and superior artillery at their command but num- erous dissenSions among them noted daily are cited as indicating poor morale

DEMOCRATS TO
 ASK RE0PENING
 OF FORD INQUIRY

Washington, July 25---Democrat1c members of the House War Investi- gating Committee today planned to ask reopening of the inquiry into the surplus food stock held by the War Department Informally, they said they were not satisfied that evidence had been obtained to justify the ma jority committee report censuring the Department for delaying sale and rec ommending immediate disposition un- der plan that would give consumers opportunity to purchase.
 Chairman Graham agreed to call a meeting of the committee late to- day to consider the Democrats re- quest.
 Some of the Democratic committee men expressed fear that dumping the food on the market would result in much of it falling into the hands of speculators.

THREATS MADE
 AGAINST KIM
 CLAIMS D0RSEN

Harry Dorsen testified before Ref cree Banks today that he and his brother were threatened with pro- ceedings in Bridgeport and New York if they did not stay in with Willett and Kari after the stock of the Dorsen Dry Goods company had been sold to Kari by the receivers.
 He said that after the sale to Kari, Willett and his Attorney Rosenthal tried to compel Kari to sng a paper showing that two-thirds of the stock purchased belonged to Willett and one-third to Kari. That Kari refused to sign and then Willett said that he had an awful time with Kari and had finally compelled Kari to agree to sell out his interest in the stock within sixty days if he received ST. 900 over what he had put in.
 Dorsen said Rosenthal wanted to draw up a paper for Kari to sign and Willett told Rosenthal that he was drawing up to many papers, that he had better look out or he would get them into trouble with the papers he was drawing up.
 Kari again refused to sign any thing and Willett said it was all right anyhow as he had had dealings with Kari and knew he was all right.
 Dorsen admitted that he thought these proceedings were wrong but that he and his brother had stayed in because they were threatened with pro~-ngs and that their at torney had told them that they should stay in to protect Willett and the bank. But two days afterwards he and his brother absolutely refus- ed to have anything more to do with the transa ct.on after they had had time to think the matter over and had convinced themselves that things were not right

New York, July 23 - The s2O ready-to-wear shoe and the s100 ready-to-wear suit are grim realities that face the average, well dressed New Yorker.
 The fall, according to trade statis- tians, will usher in these ''luxuries' as part of the new higher High Cost of Living.
 Incidentally there will be a further advance in everything that mortal eats, drinks, wears .,r enjoys. Prices are due to soar to dizzy heights that will approximate fabled post-Civil War prices that did not reach a pre- war level until 1878.
 Prices Going Up.
 Figures obtained yesterday show the fourth consecutive monthly up turn. Dun's Index Number of whole sale commodity quotations show that prices have reGained all and a trifie more Of the recession which occurred after the armistice.
 The H. c. of L., in the light of these interpretative statistics Is now more of a bug-a-boo than ever. Prices at present are 2.5 per cent. higher than on June 1 and TT per cent. higher than the low lever of March 1, 1919. Generally speaking, prices are at this mment as high as they were during the peak point" of war days, october l. 1918. and the move ment Is constantly upward.
 Spea king of the outlook, the editor of the Index said:
 Ut appears from the record that prices yielded 6.9 per cent in five montha following the ending of hos tilities in Europe, which was a small CT readjustment than many people had expected and that in four months the decline has been more than re- covered.
 "On July 1 of last year, when 9 considerable rise was shown. prices were only 0.5 per cent. below the present total. Yet it seems not un- likely, in view of peace tendencies in many quarters since the date of the latest compilation, July 1, that an even more extreme basis will be wit messed.
 Textiles in an Advance.
 "One of the outstanding develop ments of the situation last month was the further sharp upturn in prices of textiles, which have more than regained the ground that was lost after the armistice, and the con iinued buoyancy of hides and leath- CT.
 As a result of the augmented strength of these products, as well a s of advances in raw cotton, wool and silk, the clothing class rose to 9.2 per cent. above the June 1 figure to a new high level. Wholesale per capita consumption of $45.623, the nearest approach to which, in mod ern times, was the $45.23S of July l, 1918.
 Dairy and garden articles alone disclose recession from June 1, their price decline whole sale being 2S per cent. All foods together advanced slightly"
 The S2O shoe forecast was made by the representative of a firm of re- tailers, who said:
 There has never been such a bull market in the history of the leather and hide trade. Leather is selling at the highest price ever reached. Top grade calf patent leather and cor >dOvan shoes are now retailing up to S16 in high grade stores. These shoes will easily reach s2O by September or October.

more than yard or two in front of

GIVE TIRES GOOD ATTENTION
Projecting Fender Bolts or insufficient
Clearance VIII Cause Damage
to Castings.

Be careful that sharp turn of the
front wheels does not bring the tire in
contact with spring, fender or bump
er. AS the wheel turns this projection
will quickly cut through the tread of
the tire. When the car is heavily
loaded there is danger that in passing
over rough roads the tires will be
bumped or gouged by projections on
the tenders.
Bent or broken tenders may also be
in position where they will gouge the
tires. Inspect beneath the fender and
make sure that there are no projec-
tlons which could strike upon the tire.
You may find bolts rubbed smooth on
the tires.
If change is made to oversize tires
be sure that there will be sufficient
clearance between tire and fender
when the car is loaded to capacity.
This is, however, provided by most car
manufacturers.

NO ROOM FOR

Canada as a Nation Builder.

war before the public. the burdens
that she so willingly took and so ably
carried, and her recent victory in sub
scriblng s175 100000 to the 9Th Vic
tory Bond Loan more than she asked,
he would be Il skeptic who would as
sociate the word pessimism with her
present condition. Canada deplores
the heavy human loss which she has
suffered, bur even those akin to those
lost In battle say with cheerfulness
that while the sacrifice was great, the
cause was wonderful, and accept
their sufferings with grace. 1t may
well be said there is no room in Can
ada today for the pessimist. The ag-
ricultural production of the country
has doubled in four years. S14o.O00,-

ago, while the bank deposits are now
81 1888 100000 as compared with S133,-

There is n wonderful promise for
the future.
1t is with buoyancy that Canada
faces an era of peace. She has tri-
umphed over the soul-testing crisis of
war. Before the war Canada was
borrower, and expected to continue so
for many years. For the past year and
half we have seen her finance her
self. She has also been furnishing
credits to other nations.

"The people Mt home have not been
tagging behind the boys at the front in
courage, resourcefulness and efficiency.
The development of Canada's war in
dustry is an industrial romance of
front rank. American Government Of
ficials can testify to the efficiency of
the manufacturing plant Canada has
built up in four short years. In De
partment after Department where they
found American industry failed them
they were able to turn to Canada. The
full story may be revealed some day."
The same paper says:
at is new Canada that emerges
from the world war in 191s-a nation
transformed from that which entered
the conflict in 1914.
"The war has taken from Canada u
cruel toll. More than 10000 of her
bravest sons lie in soldiers graves in
Europe Three times that number
have been more or less incapacitated
by wounds. The cost of the war in
money is estimated to be already

losses for country of 100000 people.
Fortunately there is also a credit side.
Canada has found herself In this war.
She has discovered not merely the gal
antry of her soldiers, but the brains
and capacity and efficiency of her

had to measure her wits against the

BRAKES WILL INJURE TIRES
Uneven Tension Sacrifices Wheels and
Damages car-Make Inspection
Before Starting.

When you bring your automobile to
sharp halt before the upraised hand
of the policeman at the street inter
section, have you noticed at times how
the rear wheels of the automobile
ahead of you act? Have you noticed
one buzz round while the other locks?
That peculiarity is the penalty of
faulty brake adjustment. The locked
tire is called upon to resist the pres
sure of automobile and pavement
alone, the consequence very often be-
ing badly gouged tread.
Before a man sets out in his auto
mobile he should give thought TO
his brakes. he should see that both
brakes grasp with equal effectiveness
and that the brake Innings are clean
and dry.
If one brake is looser than the
other, not taking hold simultaneously,
not only is the locked tire damaged,
great piece gouged out of the tread,
but the safety of the motorist himself
Is jeopardiZed. Properly adjusted
brakes give him perfect control over
his motor and respond to his touch
You can see tires with a section
the size of mans hand gouged out
of the tread when uneven brake ten
sion caused one wheel to lock and
slide while the other rolled. Let the
wheels keep turning. but under the
Stacking pressure of the brake, and
your car will be brought to a stand
still more quickly, with greater safety
and without detriment to tires.

Queer File Fish.

That file fish captured on Lands
End is very rare visitor to our coast,
remarks the London Times. the only
previous specimens recorded having
been caught so long ago as 1927. It
belongs to numerous and important
family of the tropical seas. which are
so called because the first dorsal fin is
studded up the front with small pro.
jections that suggest some resemblance
to n file.
Another popularity of these comic
looking fish is the gun-lock spine. the
principle of which was adopted for the
earliest safety rifle locks.

APPLY WIRE TO TERMINALS
Correct Way of Performing Operation
is to Keep Turning to Right to
Avoid Untwisting.

In applying wire to terminals, the cor
rect way to perform the operation is
to twist the bare end of the wire
around the terminal in the same direc-
ton that the hands of clock move.
This is because the screw thread is
right handed and the tendency in
Tightening the nut will be to twist the
wire tighter even than it was. If the
wire is twisted the other way, the nut
tends to untwist it, making its hold
uncertain.
