probable that a charge of perhaps three francs would be made for the carrying of letters.
 The lin ebteween Paris and Brus- sels is for passengers and an airplane is making one trip a week each way The fare is about 300 francs. This service is a private enterprise run by one of the big airplane firms, although it is government controlled
 Two other firms are about to start similar services with the permission of the government. In view of this it is probable that no regular govern ment service will be established, all though, of course, military airplanes are carrying supplies and dispatches to the front daily. The time required to fly to Brussels from Paris is about two hours and half.

AWATORS' RISK IS GREATEST
 ON OCEAN FLIGHT
By FREDERICK M. KERRY

! h II. I
 NEW YORK, May 1O.-What chance of being rescued from drowning will the aviators who are to fly across the Atlantic have should they be forced down in mid-ocean?
 The Americans will have a good chance; the English pilots a very slim one.
 Every precaution is being made to safeguard the lives of the crews of the giant Navy-Curtiss seaplanes in case of a mishap.
 Fifty U. s. destroyers are strung across the Atlantic between New foundland and the Azores-one de- stroyer every 35 miles or so
 Each N. c. is equipped with wire less and the hull is really stoutly built boat, in case of accident rescue will be almost certain, unless, ol course, the men are driven down in a storm and the seaplane breaks up.
 The Englishmen are to take the "big hop" in land machines. They are frankly gambling with their lives. They realize that a ofrced descent will put their lives in great jeopardy
 1T navigator, Lieutenant Commander Grieve have a small detachable oval shaped boat on their Sopwith plane to which they entrust their lives in case of accident. They will have food and water for two days and if their flight fails they will trust to luck that passing steamer will pic1 them up.
 With Captain Raynham and Major Morgan in their Martinsyde machine it is do or die. If they come down they will almost certainly perish.
 Wood, who is starting fIom the other side, will depend on the buoy ance of his large fuel tank, placed under the body of the plane ana quickly emptied if he has to alight
 Both the American and English pI- lots and crews will wear lifebelts ana rubber suits which will keep them afloat fo rseveral hours They will also have with them signal flares to burn at night and smoke bombs with which to attract the attention of pass ing ships by day.
 All navigators will rely upon di- rectional wireless to keep them on their course. In direetional wireless the position is found by working in angles much the same as with the sailors sextant. Two waves register from separate points on instruments on the plane. By knowing the di- rection of the start of the wave sent from the land stations the navigating officer can reckon his whereabouts by triangulation.

AIR LINE TO LINK PARIS AND SPAIN
 AND TURKEY, PLAN

PARIS, May 10-(By the Associat-
 ed Press )-Elaborat plans for inter-
 national air service are now being worked out by the French government and it is probable that some of them will be inaugurated soon after the peace conference has finished work and promulgated it's decisions for the control of aviation In addition France will establish air routes which wll be entirely within her own boun- dries, and therefore under her control alone.
 One of the most pretentious schemes is that for a service which Rome, Naples, Brandise, Constanti- nople Another line willbe established between Paris and Morocco, and Paris and Madrid probably will be linked up.
 There are at present two services out of Paris, one to London and the other to Lile and Brussels. The for mer is at the moment for military business only, but plans have been laid for a service that will benefit the general public So far there is no in tention to make this a passenger ser vice, but the feasibility is being dis cussed of sending telegrams and spe- cial delivery letters between the two capitals by air. It takes only about three hours for the trip. So that a telegram could be delivered quicker in this manner than by wire It, is

PHYSICALLY FIT
 AT ANY AGE

It isn't age, it's careless living that puts men down and out" Keep your internal organs in good condition and you will always be physically fit.
 The kidneys are the most over worked organs in the human body. When they break down under the strain and the deadly ux4c acid ac,. cumulates and crystallizes look out! These. sharp crystals tear and scratch the delicate urinary channels causing excruciating pain and set up lrrlta- tions which may cause premature de- generation and often do turn into deadly Bright's Disease.
 One of the first warnings of slug Gish kidney action is pain or stiffness in the small of the back, loss of appe- tite, indigestion or rheumatism.
 Do not wait until the danger is upon you.
