AVIATOR GOES UP
MORE THAN SIX MILES
Filler REACHES A
HEIGHT OF $4,000 FEET. is
NEW ALTITUDE RECORD.

MINEOLA, N. "a new unoffi-
cial worlds altitude record was es-
tablished here when Roland Rohlfs,
testing pilot for the Curtiss Airplane
and Motor Corporation, climbed to
a height of $4,000 feet-more than
six miles-beating the previous
worlds unofficial record of Adjt.
Casle, of the French army, at Villa
coublay, last June, by 864 feet.
Rohlfs explained he took the air in
tending only to make test flight,
but he found conditions so satisfac-
tory that he decided to keep climb
ing until his apparatus showed the
new record altitude.
The machine Rolllfs flew was the
same Curtiss wasp, equipped with a
power motor in which last
July he flew to a height of 10000
feet. He said he found that he was
very comfortable in his warm gar
ments at the 34,000-foot level, where
his thermometer registered A de-
grees below zero.
1t took him an hour to make his
new altitude, he said. Then he was

100000 EMPLOYED
BY AUTO FACTORIES
MORE THAN 100000 PERSONS
INU S. ARE SUPPORTED BY
AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY.

According to a report made public
recently the total number of persons
employed in the manufacture and
sale of motor cars aggregate $780,
900. Of this total number $4,000
are in automobile factories, 1920
900 make parts and accessories and
100000 are employed by agencies
and garages. This number equals 10
per cent. of all those engaged in me-
chanical and manufacturing indus
tries of the United States.
The motor car business, therefore,
supports more than 100000 per-
sons. This population could fill city
half the size of New York, as large
as Chicago, twice as large as Phlla-
delphia, four times the size of Bos-
ton, or ten times as large as Mime
apoIis, Los Angeles or Washington.
1t more than equals the population
of California, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa,
Kentucky, Minnesota, New Jersey,
North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia
or Wisconsin.
The business is as large as Che
state of Michigan and greater than
Arizona, Delaware, District of Co
lumbia, Idaho, Maine, Nebraska, New
Hampshire and New Jersey combin-
ed. The salary and wages of those
employed aggregate nearly $780,
100000, of which the automobile
factories pay $780, 100000; parts and
accessory people $4O0,00O,OOO, and
the dealers and garages 100000
600. These totals exceed twice the
entire annual revenue of the United
States postofice and seven times that
paid for the transportation of mail.

as high up as his aneroid could regis

him some leeway beyond, it enabling
him to continue climbing for nearly
ten minutes more in safety. He went
about 200 feet in that ten minutes,
he said. During the last 'reach"

it was slightly warmer than at $4,000

degrees or degrees higher than at

The wind at the peak of his climb,
he said, was so strong that his plane
was barely able to hold its own. So
crystal clear was the atmosphere that
there seemed to be no limit to his
vision. At $4,000 feet he experienced
a severe pain in his head, but when

United States lose an average of nine
days each every year on account of
illness. This makes a total of $780,
100000 days. If the average wage
earned by these workers is 1925 a
day it means a loss of Stops, 000,-
900. And the cost for doctors fee,
medicine and other extras probably
amounts to as much more, making a
total of over 100000 lost by the
workers on account of illness. And
what workingman loses in this way
can never be made up-it is total
loss.
The cost of the war to the Unit
ed States was about $50, 100000, 900.
And workingmen lose every fifteen
years on account of illness what it
cost the United States to help win
the war.
Furthermore, they lose in this way
four times as much as is given to all
kinds of philanthropy during normal
times.
And this isn't the worst of it. The
death rate among workingmen IS
very much higher than it is among
men of all classes.
The annual death rate of all
males in this country between the
ages of 35 and A is about ten per
thousand, whereas the death rate of
workingmen of the same ages is near
ly sixteen per thousand, or about 60
per cent. higher. The death rate of
colored workingmen of the same
ages is over 80 per cent. higher than
that of the average male between
these ages.
These figures were obtained by
life insurance company, in its indus
trial department, which naturally
dealt with the more thrifty working
men of America. No doubt the fig
ures for all classes of workingmen
would be still higher.
There is a point at which science
and social service halts-it then be-
comes a question of morals and Will
power. And this, of course, applies
to all men-whether they
are workers or slackers.
The fight against disease and death
is first of all a fight for character
to overcome harmful appe-
tites and evil practices. And no med
icine or sanitary laws have yet been
that will do this for any
man.

Men who learned to "shoot craps"
in the army are continuing the sport,
it is said, and teaching it to young
boys. The outcome is that gambling

it was before the war.
