library contains a complete set of
books on aviation.
Adjoining the clubhouse is an air
drome of 80 acres Members of the
club who are owners of aircraft may
house their machines on the club
grounds, where they are kept in or
der by men hired especially for the
purpose.
Passenger airplanes are kept in con-
stant readiness for the use of mem
bers for long or short flights at special
terms. If one wishes to make quick
trip to distant point he has merely
to call up the club from his office in
London, and by the time he reaches
the field everything is in readiness for
the hop off. The airplanes used in
this service are specially designed
touring craft, with silenced motors
and saloon bodies. Fast single seat
ers and two seaters are available for
sporting and service pilots.

All these unfortunate and filthy men
are, in plain English, covered with lice,
which are the sole propagators of
spotted typhus. Many of them do their
best to avoid going near any military
depot which has means of disinfection,
because their wretched rags, once put
into the disinfecting chamber, simply
fall to pieces, and as there is no fresh
clothing to give them in exchange, they
feel themselves worse off than before
Many of these men leave the depot

Housewives There Must Hunt
Through Town for Food.
Job Requires Seven Hours of Each
Day and Supplies Are Very
Scanty.

Rome-Seyen hours of each day of
the Italian housekeeper must be de-
voted to buying food. The problems
of the ordinary American housekeep-
er pale into insignificance even with
their troublesome servants when COM
pared to the Italian. Domestic serv-
ants strikes in Italy are chronic.
The recent upheaval in Italian eco
nOmics when the government ordered
prices Of foodstuffs and clothing re-
duced so per cent has begun it's re-
action, and the factor affected most
is the housekeeper. She must start
to market at seven o'clock in the morn
ing, and is forced to hurry from one
store to another. To obtain a piece
of meat usually takes two hours. To
obtain bread about an hour, eggs
two hours, vegetables, one hour and a
half and canned goods about an hour.
The housekeeper's day starts by
placing herself at the back of long
line of waiting customers. The line
sometimes extends for a half block,
guarded by armed carabineers. When
the buyer is permitted to enter the
store she finds inside a scramble for

stationed there to prevent any mis-
chief. 1t she obtains what she wants
she Is lucky.
She treadS over the streets a whole
morning, searching for the things for
lunch and then in the afternoon must
start on the hunt again for food. If
she is looking for butter she is usually
thankful to go away with can of
American "bully beef"
1t often happens that her family
must miss a meal, but that is usually
overlooked
Housekeepers sometimes watch a
car of produce unloaded at the rail-
road station and follow the motor
trucks to the store, where the pro-
duce will be sold When a carload of
eggs arrived the other day, women
clung to the trucks carrying the eggs
to stores, while others ran alongside.
At the stores the clerks stood in the
dOorways and handed out the eggs,
three only to a customer. Some GUS
toners reached over others heads
with their hats, while others pushed
aside the weaker ones.
Servants take their rest days by
telling the housekeeper they are go
ing for a day or two. They come back
when it suits them. The days of those
perfect Italian servants" as Ameri-
cans used to call them, have passed,
and housekeeper is lucky to have
a servant at all.

SWOPE IS THE PAST TENSE OF sWIPE

When King Swope the twenty
eight-year-old discharged soldier, who
has swept a strongly Democratic dis
trict into the Republican column for
the first time in % years, took his seat
in the house the other day as repre-
sentative of the Eighth Kentucky dis
trict he was the target of all eyes.
The Republicans greeted him with
cheers and the Democrats gazed at him
with unconcealed interest
Does his election mean anything
out of the ordinary? And if so, what
does it mean? The politicians of con-
gress would like to know.
Anyway, King Swope's election
was certainly out of the ordinary. He
was struggling young lawyer in Dan
vile, who had seen honorable service
overseas and comes of a well-known
Kentucky family. He was speaker
at the Lincoln day banquet of the
Kentucky Republicans in Louisville. He
denounced the League of Nations, de-

in the interest of recruiting for the
American Legion, it has become known
that there is movement to get to-

the following extracts from a letter
from G. e. Adams of Omaha, COM
mander in chief, to Henry D. Lindsey,
chairman Of the national executive
council Of the American Legion:
''In my opinion the time has now
arrived for all army men and all patri-
otic societies to strengthen their pO-
sitiOn by federation of organizations.

to jump off it as soon as it slackens
down before arriving at the railway
station; and thus they enter a city
without the authorities knowing, and,
of course, spread their lice and their
disease.
Some of the men were already Suf-
fering from spotted typhus while on
their journey, and had, of course, in
fected others. 1t is, indeed, often i'm
possible to diagnose the disease unless
a mans skin has first been thoroughly
washed with soap. Matters are still
further complicated because a soldier
as a rule will not say that he is i'll un-
til he can no longer crawl about. The
hospitals are overcrowded with dis
eased men lying on gray paper sheets
which, of course, cannot be either
washed or boiled There are not even
bandages with which to dress the gan
grenous sores which often accompany
spotted typhus. They, too, are dressed
after a fashion with paper. The pa
tients have neither blankets nor elder
down quilts, nor even shirts to sleep
in which are not all in rags; and as
there is a great scarcity of coal there
can be no proper heating The doctors
cannot operate because there is no
means of sterilizing instruments, no
soap, and no cotton, wool or band

WILL SHE BE SENATOR ANN MARTIN?

Is the United States senate to have
@ woman member?
Anyway, Ann Martin, one of the
prominent suffragists in the country, is
preparing to run for senator in Ne
vada next year, either as Republican
or an Independent. She ran last year
and was defeated, getting about half as
many votes as the Republican candi-
date, and spending only $4,000, COM
pared to about 100000 spent by an
other candidate. But she is coming
back for another whirl
Being a wise politician, Miss Mar

MELLEN FOR GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

Charles S. Mellen, former presi-
dent of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad, has come out in fa-
vOr of government ownership of the
railroads. He says, among other things
Il was H years a railroad man,
beginning as a $25 month clerk.
"The best solution for the railroad
problem from my viewpoint is govern
ment ownership. l believe the govern
ment should control the railroads as
it does the postofice-own them ex-
clusively. 1t might mean a heavy
deficit for awhile, but in the end it
would work out all right.
'In addition to owning the rail
roads, | think the government should
acquire all public utilities.
II am sure there would be no more
political conniving in operating these
utilities than there was before.

ate in ruling the railroads, as they

WOULD COMMUTE SENTENCES

WASHINGTON. March 2.-Attorney General Gregory has recommended to President Wilson communication of the sentences of persons convicted under the espionage act, a review of whose cases by officials of the department of justice has revealed that the evidence of wilful intent to violate the law was too circumstantial to warrant the car rying out of the full sentences fixed by the trial juries.
 Officials of the department of justice in making public tonight Mir. Gregorys $ letter to the president. said commuta- tion had been recommended for several hundred uersons now held in prison. but they were unable to even estimate the number. Names of the persons in- Volved were not given out.
 Mir. Gregory said in his letter 10 the president that the reviewing commis- sion in the department was examining the records in the cases of all the other convictions under the espionage law. and recommendations as to these would be submitted later. The president was expected to act on the cases now before him within a short time. possibly before sailing for France next Wednesday.

WIRELESS PHONE FOR

Monday, March 3-Eperi- ments in a new type of wireless tele- phone are so far advanced that it is hoped within a few weeks it will be possible to speak between London and New York, while the establishment of a regular commercial service by wire less telephone between London and New York early next year is ex- pected by the Marconi company, ac- cordng to a statement by Godfrey C. Isaacs. managing director of the Mar conf company to a correspondent of the Daily Mail
 An early realization of the often discussed portable pocket wireless tele- phone is also foreshadOwed by MT. Isaacs, who says that experiments have led him to believe that the pocket wireless will be in everyday use at no distant date. Thus a person walking upon the street may hear a bell ring ing in his pocket, and. put a receiver to his ear. bear the voice of another. who. perhaps, may be travelling by airplane at a hundred miles an hour as far from him as Warsaw is from ' London.

Bolshevists Are Busy

BERLIN. Saturday, March 1.-(By the Associated Press) That the bol- shevists have succeeded in their propa- ganda for soviet rule is amply evi. denced by the governments indecision with respect to the plan to incorporate the ideas of the soldiers and work. mems organization in the constitution. There is further evidence that Hugo Haase's party. the independent social ists, is preparing to make common cause with the spartacans in an effort to overthrow the Scheidemann cabinet. by launcing a general strike with the purpose of forcing the issue of soviet rule.
 That the Weimar government is flirting with the latter idea seems to be indicated by the suggestion now being considered. that the assembly h. given an auxiliary chamber comprising members of soviet boards.
 The German bolshevists are employ ing new tactics along political lines. In Fridays elections to the executive committee of the greater Berlin soviets they captured two seats, their first representation in that body, in which they and the independents have now an equal vote.

 Formerly the telephone girls used to make note of the hour that patrons wanted to be called and ring them up in the mornings. but that was stopped by a company order: so the desk ser geant at police. headquarters, took over the unrequited and usually unappre- ciated. task.
 Newspaper men, restaurant workers and others whose business calls them out early, leave their numbers and the hour of their calls with the police ser .geant. and he spends his spare time waking them by telephone. Some days he has as many as 200 calls, and every day there are scores of them.

AL though informations against the al- legged gamblers were filed in the coun- ty superior court. city authorities are assisting to the utmost every effort to press the case.
 J. B. Nelson. assistant city attorney, explained yesterday afternoon why ac- ton against the men charged with gambling is being taken in the county courts, instead of in the city. City authorities decided in the case that under the new anti gambling act the county court could inflict more severe penalties on the men than could the municipal court. which would have to be governed by the city ordinance with it's light punishments. The inforrna- tions were accordingly filed in the county court by the city. which will press the case.
