SEEING ROME
FROM DIRIGIBLE

BY means of portable staircase on
wheels we climbed into the swinging
basket Of the dirigible and took places
where we could find them around the
three gasoline engines, 12-cylinder
Flats, each attached to separate pro.
peller.
Carries Crew OF Seven.
Leather coats lined with sheepskin
We're distributed, although the weather
on the, ground was springlike. Seven
Italian army men composed the crew
of the ship. The officers used mega
phones at times to shout orders to the
crew and to communicate with the
small army of soldiers that held the
guide ropes on the ground.
The final sand bags were thrown
from pile on deck and the ship start
ed ascending without a tremor. I'm
less one looked at the ground the
sensation of moving was not notice

manner in which gas engine man
tuned up one of the three motors
aboard, and was startled few seconds
later to find that we had moved sky.
ward about 300 feet.
The hundred odd helpers on the
ground had already been dwarfed into
mere pygmies. The Roman campagna
with the mountains in the distance,
was unfolding into vast panorama.
We continued to ascend to more than
1000 feet, moving all the time with
increased speed toward the city of
Rome, ten miles away.
Panorama of Rome.
At a speed of 40 to so miles all hour
we sped over farnhouses and ruins
of the Appian way toward the city.
Within five minutes the miles of arched
stone aqueducts that stretch from
Rome to the mountains had been
passed and we were in the outskirts
of the town with the River Tiber just
ahead threading the solidly packed
rows of houses like dull blue ribbon.
They tell you in Rome that the most
satisfactory view of the wrecked Coli
scum, where the Caesars used to muir
der Christians by the hundred and
where the gladitorial combats of the
old days We're held, may be had by
moonlight
However, much better idea of the
Coliseum and its size can be obtained
by viewing it from the air. From
1000 to 1,500 feet above earth you can
get better estimate of it's size, and as
you float by you have to scrutinize
closely to notice the damage time has
brought to walls and arena
Near the Coliseum the other ruins
are less distinguishable. They are too
small to stand out in the panorama.
The palace of Augustus is mere pile
of bricks. The world-famous Palatine
hill near by is to all appearances an
irregular strip of brick-strewn mead
owland and loses all of the grandeur
that the fanciful tourist, on foot among
the ruins, is able to reconstruct from
his imagination.

SMOKING TOBACCO
FACTS FROM THE
ENCYCL0P AEDlA
The Use Of Flayorings Deter
mines Difference In Brands

The Encyclopedia Britannica says
about the manufacture of smoking to-
bacco: 6. .on the Continent and in
America, certain sauces are employed
the use of the sauces is to improve
the favour and burning qualities Of the
leaves" Which indicates that smokers
enjoyment depends as much upon the
favoring used as upon the tobacco.
Your nose is sure guide in the mat
ter Of favorings. Try this simple test
with several tobacco brands: pour some
tobacco into your palm, rub briskly,
and smell. You will notice distinct
difference in the fragrance of every
brand. The tobacco that smells best to
you will smoke best in your pipe. you
can rest assured.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus a dash Of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.

On the other hand. the Quirinal pail
ace, the Rome residence of the king o..
Italy in peace times, is notably unin-
spring when viewed from the street.
But seen from the air, the magniticence
OF the Quirinal is impressive.
Wonderful Scene Unrols.
To all appearances we 'rere barely
moving. Whole sections of landscape
presented themselves smoothly and
seemingly slowly. We had ample time
to inspect with considerable care the
larger points of interest from our van
tage point in the steady basket, and it
was only after landing that we learned
our speed had averaged 40 miles an
hour. The distance above the ground
was responsible for the delusion of
slow speed.
The glories of st. Peters. viewed
from the air. are no small part of the
JOY of flying over Rome 1t is only from
a high elevation that one is able to APP
preciate the perfect symmetry OF de.
sign that represents the best genius OF
architectural thought in Rome through
four centuries under the patronage OF
over a score of popeS.
Naturally enough the finer embellish-
ments of st. Peters are more or less
invisible from the air. The famous
Egyptian obelisk, brought to Rome by
one of the old emperors, who utilized
500 men and $40 horses to perform
ri r,f n
tune in gold or the enterprise, is dot
in the landscape. The statues are
mere blurs, the fountains are simply
brighter spots in the landscape.
Trip Quickly Made,
One of the disappointing features OF
a first flight over Rome is the quick
ness with which the trip is accom-
plished You have no sooner gotten
into the spirit of viewing things from
aloft until your machine scoots out
side the city over the green fields again
and you have groups of country peo-
pie below gazing slsyward for the ever
interesting sight of an airship.
Once headed toward the airdrome.
you will probably worry bit about
how efficiently the crew is going to
manage the descent and landing. You
commence to realize what an unwieldy
thing an airship is, how sensitive 1t is
to the air currents, how much it weighs,
and, above all other things, how far
away the ground appears. You con-
slider, after bit of thought, that after
all it was an idiotic idea to fly while
the airship business is in state OF
comparative infancy.
About that time the airdrome, with
it's immense roof and sides of CORFU
gated iron, is in sight. The pilots cir
Gle the airdrome and do sort of
figure six in the air. On the ground
nearly battalion Of men are rushing
along to the spot the pilot has picked
for the landing. Sure enough, just as
you feared they are dropping the huge
machine just like an elevator. The
ground suddenly looks very close.
About that time you get your first
slight jar; it is the crew dumping sew.
/ eral barrels of water ballast to tighten
the machine and stop the car. The
jerk is less than the usual elevator
makes when stopping for floor. Had
you not been watching closely you
would not have noticed it.

Japanese Women in the Home.

A TREMENDOUS JOB ToINcREAsE
OUR PRODUCTION

OUR PRODUCTION
In this emergency we tried to do our
part. We secured the country for raw
materials-our Traffic Manager spent
his days riding freight cars in-we
shipped raw materials in carload lots
by express and pleaded with manufac-
turers to increase their deliveries to us.
But it was slow process. Some of
our raw materials are produced only
in Japan-supplies in this country
were low and shipments required three
months to come from the Far East.
Then we had to recruit and train
skilled labor. We brought our sales
men into the factory and trained them
as foremen. We invented new ma
chlnery, and managed to install 1t on
Christmas Day, so as not to interfere
with our daily production.
143 JARS OF vAPoRU1 EVERY

By January LIST we had everything
ready to put on our night shift, and
since then our laboratory has been
running day and night. To feed eur

OVER ONE MILLION JARS
OF VAPORUB PRODUCED
EACH WEEK

It is with pride that we announce
to the drug trade that the shortage Of
Vick's VapoRub, which has lasted since
last October, is now overcome. Since
January LIST, we have been running our
laboratory twenty-three and a half
hours out Of every twenty-four. Last
week we shipped the last, of our back
orders, and retail druggists, therefore,
are no longer requested to order in
small quantities only.
NOVEMBER DEAL RE.INsTATEp
This deal, which we had expected to
put on last November and which had to
be postponed on account of the short
age Of YapoRub, is re-instated for the
month Of March. This allows dis
count of 10% on shipments from job
bers' stock Of quantities Of from to
a gross. 81 Of this discount Is allowed
by the jobber and 81 by us.
We advise the retail druggists to
place their orders Immediately, so that
the jobbers will be able to get prompt
shipments to them.
THANKS OF THE PUBLIC DUE THE
DUG TRADE DURING THE
INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC.
The thanks Of the American public
are certainly due the entire drug trade
retail, wholesale and manufacturing
for what they accomplished during
the recent influenza epidemic. The
war caused a shortage Of physicians
nurses were almost impossible to OBJ
tain-the demand or the drug trade
was unexpected and overwhelming
and to this demand they responded
nobly. Retail druggists kept open day
and night and slept where they drop.
