planes by fog and other unfavorable
weather conditions. is being installed
on new planes and at landing fields,
in College Park. Md, and Bellefonte,

here today by Otto Praeger, assistant
postmaster general
A fieId-marking radio device enables
a pilot to steer exactly for the cen
ter Of his landing field. though it may
be obscured by fog, clouds, rains or
snow.
other devices that are expected to
improve the service are a non-mag-
netic compass that will overcome the
unreliability of the ordinary COM
pass and a self-cleaning spark plug
for the liberty motor.
A decrease of two days in the time
for transmission of mail from New
York to San Francisco was predict
cd by Mr.. Praeger if Congress should
permit plans of the air mail service
to be carried out. Multi-motor ed
planes could carry a ton Of mail
from New York to Omaha, whence
other planes could carry 1900 pounds
each over the Rockies, he said. -----

TIPPERARY JUDGE FAILS
TO BE MOVED BY FAIRIES
Claimant Sought Damages for Cut
ting Of Trees and Bushes,
Rendezvous Of Sprites.

DUBLIN. October 25 Correspond
ence of the Association Press).-A
case just heard in the Tipperary
courts reveals the survival in Ireland
of a belief in the fairies. 1t was q
claim for compensation for cutting
trees and bushes around a fort at
Shanbally. The claimant said he spe-
cially valued these bushes as "there
was dancing and lights there every
night"
1t was alleged that the defendant
had taken away the bushes to evict
the fairies. The judge pointed out that
If there were any fairies they would
visit their anger on the man who
dared to cut the bushes and not on the
owner. He did not accept the fairy
theory and dismissed the claim.

Mr.. HINES SUBMITS
NEW WAGE SCALE
TO RAILWAY MEN
Increase of Approximately
100000 a Month in
Offer to Br0therhoods.

An increased wage scale, amount
ing to approximately three million
dollars a month, was submitted yes
railroad brotherhoods by Director
General Hines just before he left on
an official trip to New York.
The proposal, laid before representa-
tives Of the brotherhoods at the clos
ing session of the wage conference,
was taken under advisement. 1t was
not what the men had asked for, but
their answer will be presented to the
director general within the next ten
days and it was considered likely
they would accept The increase would
affect trainmen. firemen, engineers
and conductors. but more particularly
those employed in the slow freight
train service.
Questions Undetermined.
Many other questions affecting
working conditions of trainmen which
have not been decided at the confer
ence which closed temporarily yes
terday, to which no reference has
been made by Mr.. Hines in public
statements. will be the basis for
further conferences between the
brotherhood heads and members of
the director generals staff. 1t was
said yesterday that the conference
might be resumed early next week,
but no definite date was set.
