PROTESTS TO DAYLIGHT FOE.
Dwight Braman Tells Cummins
This State Opposes Repeal.

Dwight Braman, president OF the Law
and Order Union, has written to Senator
A. r. Cummins OF Nebraska to protest
against Cummins's efforts to get the
Daylight Saving Law repealed.

regard the act as one of the most use
full ever passed by the Congress- In
our eleven million people in this. the
greatest agricultural State in the Union,
/ can safely say that So or 90 per cent
are in favor OF the Daylight Savings
Law"
Mr.. Braman specified the advantages
OF daylight savings as follows: $780,
600 900 worth of vegetables raised by
the working classes In the extra time
gained; 100000 tons OF coal saved ;
az effective factor in fighting tubercu-
losis, as the medical profession has
avowed; general benefit to health due
to early rising.
And in conclusion Mr.. Braman ad-
Hses Senator Cummins to repent for
his own good and the good Of the Re-

Captain Francis.
Wind is an element of paramount
Importance to successful transatlantic
flight. In the northerly route which
lays between Newfoundland and Ire
land, the prevailing direction of the
wind is from west to east: this factor
helps aviators to the extent that they
may cut three or four hours from the
time that would be required TO travel
the same route in still air. The winds
of the southerly route blow westward.

would appear that the most favorable

the northern route, and that the most

could be made by southern route.
Future or Trans-occanic Service
The Pacific will probably be the
next ocean to conquer. and the trip
across it by aeroplano can be accom-
plished with ships stationed at inter-
walls to supply direction and fuel, the
same as over the Atlantic.

time when the lighter-than-air ma

The coasts along the oceans will
come to be dotted with piers and sta

be fitted with commodious buses for
passengers and will be advertising for
passengers to ride between New York
and Liverpool. without any stopover
privileges along the route whatsoever.
The future significance of the per-
fected trans-oceanic plane in time of
war can hardly be measured at this
time; but it is a formidable thought to
consider the possibilities Of its use for

ton as we'll as the new avenues with

streets lined with horse chestnut trees

of beauty.

a large collection of statues which are
well worth seeing. The view from this

BY making the trip to the Pilgrim
age church one meets the peasants in
their quaint attire, which is very like
that of the Italian peasant, even TO
the rawhide shoes and the queer little
caps of brown or red. Several Ian

German predominant. Before the war
the city had governor who was
member of the Upper House of the
Hungarian Parliament. The town was
entitled to one representative in the
Lower House. Fiume was the seat
of Hungary's Naval Academy and sew
eral other institutions of learning.

Churches or Great Age
The cathedral is the oldest church In
Fiume, but it Is spoiled by new
facade patterned after the Pantheon

nearby is an imitation of the Santa
Maria della Salute in Venice. Nearly
all the structures seem to be copies
of buildings somewhere in Italy and
everywhere the italian influence is felt.

The Pilgrimage Church (Madonna
del Larsatto) is on one of the hills
which surrounds the city. 1t contains
a, picture of the Madonna said to have
been painted by st. Luke, the Apostle,

" Hapirit of daring that has always
~ characterized acronautical enter
prise has about reached its zenith in
the achievement of the Navy plans of
the United States and the heroic en-
deavor of Harry Hawker.
Transatlantic flight has been the
ambition Of birdmcn ever since dreams
of air conquest became realities of
every day life. The history of the
growth of this daring desire and the
perilous ventures made by men in try
ing to bring it to realization provide
an engrossins story.
In 1900 when Count Zeppelin, whose
name has since como to bear a sinister
meaning for mankind developed the
first notable airship Of all times and
established means of regular pas
senger travel, he planted a seed of
speculation in the minds of all inter
ested scientists. These seeds rapidly
grew to a full grown belief IN the pos
sibility Of long aerial journeys. Forth
with aviators began to try to demon
strate 1t.
The successes of the Zeppelin diriei-
BILE in Europe stimulated Walter Well
man, an American journalist and eX-
plorer, to make a spectacular attempt
at long sustained fight His expert
ment was the first trial on record to
cross the Atlantic by air route.

really the first American constructed
dirigible. for Mr.. Wellmans machine
has been originally built in France for
Arctic expeditions.
on july ., 1917, The Akron set forth
from Atlantic City on its transatlantic
trip, with Naniman himself. acting az
engineer. In less than one-half hour
the dicig!ble was totally destroyed by
an explosion, duo 70 fire or other fact or
not definitely determined. The exact
cause will always be open 10 conjecture
because Nariman and his crew of four
went to their death. II:s perseverance
gives him claim to be one of the
martyrs of the history Of air DONNA

itself as the most effective medium of

Frenchman, had crossed the English
Channel in his monoplane from Bar

The United States Government was
planning to transport mail to Alaska

A Story ofthe Adriafic Sea-

fenfion With the Italian
Delegates To The Peace
Conference.

AX&2 II tdCS Conference IN IaTlS,
n by reason of the many new ma
"a tions to be created, has had very
&U delicate and grave problems to
solve. All those who could by any
possibility make claims to some port
of entry are making a stron6 fight
to have that port included in their
territory, The necessities of trade and
the expansion Of their commerce cause
this question to be one of the most
serious to be solved. The infant states
cry out for every opportunity to OK
pand and have some important part
in the worlds progress. This has
made Fiume a great factor. Located
on the eastern side of the Adriatic its
natural place was in the country
carved out of the southern and south
western parts of Hungary. Italy has
made bitter contest for it and threat
ened to leave the Conference unless
her demands were granted and for a
few days even carried out this threat.
Although Fiume is geographically
a part of Croatia it really belongs 10
Hungary. II Is q typically italian city
and much beloved by the Italians, who
have settled there, II is picturesquely
