MAKE MAPS FROM AIR
AirpIaneS to Be Used to Chart
Amazon Area.
French Experts Plan to Survey Route
Of River From Flying
Machines.

Para. BraZil.-Airplanes may be EN-
ployed to map the valley of the great
Amazon river IL the French are sue
cessful in their effort to use aircraft
for surveying the routes Of the rivers
of French Guiana. ii is understood
the Brazilian government will apply
the same method to the survey Of the
Amazon and its affluents.
French company is said to have
been formed In Cayenne, with hangers
on the Maroni river. and French avia-
tors with flying experience gained In
the war are being employed to run the
% hydro -airplanes said to have been
furnished b. the government.
In addition to making maps. the ma
chimes will be employed for carrying
valuable freight, mails and passengers.
There are immense rivers In French
Guiana. which. because of the presence
of many rapids, are now only navi-
gable in canoes, which take weeks to
transport freight over distances which
the hydro-airplanes can cover In as
many hours, with always large
stretches Of smooth wates offering
suitable surface for landing and take
offs"
The freight charges are said to be
high, and the traffic is expected to con-
sist mainly Of gold. balato and essence
OF rosewood. which are the principal
exports of the colony. The passenger
business is not expected to be heavy.
These hydro-airplanes will also be
used for prospecting the forests for
balato trees. which grow in groups.
so that the foliage can, II is said. be
readily distinguished by aviators flying
low over the tops Of the forest trees.
In the past the securing Of fresh
sources of balatO has been work Of
much danger and difficulty. Specially
trained balato workers. well armed,
travelling In bands of Is or 20. have
been employed to explore the forests.
and they had to carry with them sup
plies to cover many months.

USE STRANGE CURES
Tobacco Quid Montenegrins'
Remedy for Wound.
Charms for Ills Lose Ground when
Red Cross Aids Suffering
Mountaineers.

NiegOsh, Montenegro. - American
physicians doing relief work In Monte
negro tell of some curious methods of
treatment employed by the inhabitants
of this little mountain country. When
a Montenegrin is wounded the first
thought of the natives il to apply
chewing tobacco, horsehair or q fresh
rabbit skin with the hair facing inside.
Common ink Is considered q sovereign
remedy for burns. To stop bleeding
sores or wounds cobwebs are used.
When person is bitten by q dog, the

The patron saint Of Montenegro
Saint Vascilla whose shrine is stu
ed on the summit of q mountain
tween Podgoritza and Nikisic. Eve
week thousands of devout Monten
grins come to this mountain shrin
seeking cure for their ills.
But since the arrival Of the AmeriI
can physicians the pilgrimages to ths|
ancient shrine have not been 80 numer-
Gus. For the natives have found that
their Ills can be cured much nearer
home and with greater certainty ut any
of the numerous Red Cross dispen-
saries and clinics. The inhabitants
come from the remotest mountain re-
gions. They are carried In all sorts
of conveyances, wheeIbarrows, donkey
carts, buffalo wagons or on horseback.
In one case an old woman, suffering
with scarlet fever, was brought to the
Red Cross hospital at Niegosh in an
iron soup pot. 1t required four days
to get her over the many mountain
ranges.
In another instance a farmer carried
his typhusafflicted wife on his back 4
distance of IS miles and ut the end Of
the journey fell exhausted on the steps
of the Red Cross hospital. He was re-
warded for his labors, however, four
weeks later by the complete recovery
of his wife.

GERMANS USING
SHARP METHODS
TO PUSH TRADE

PARASITIC impending resump-
ton of commercial relations with
the enemy of yesterday is causing
the French public at large good
deal Of misgiving Many would keep
the German out at all costs, but
cooler heads realize that France
cannot afford to close the door upon
a customer of a billion francs ar
nually. There is. however, fairly
unanimous feeling that if the Ger
man is to come back to France, he
must come back in some recogniza-
BILE shape. and not disguised as too
often before.
Incidents such as the following do
not serve to put the public mind at
ease. 4 woman of good social
standing at Lille recognized recent
~, in the person of a cashier in one
of ths- big department stores of
Paris. former German officer. She
had good reason to remember him as
one of the invaders who had been
CHARTERED upon her home in Lille.
Challenged as to his identity, the
man stoutly denied his Teutonic ma
tionality He spoke French perfect
'ly, his papers were to all appear
ance in order. and the accuser at
first found scant credence on the
part of the management. Then she
remembered that the man had once
boastfully exhibited his arm. on
which the portrait of the former
German emperor was tattooed. The
icashier-officer was dismissed and the
newspapers are now demanding that
employers shall be held responsible
for the civil status of their en-
ployes.
