Seventy Day. to rs Hours.
Evansville courier.)

/ NEVdubVllC SOuElCTsl ssss
From seventy days to rs hours
marks the reduction in the time Of
transatlantic travel since the days
OF Columbus. Quicker time has of
course been made by airplane and
by seaplane. But these voyages can
be hardly regarded as more than adj
venterous feats. The trips of the
R-34 demonstrate that it is the diri-
gible rather than the air machines
that must be used for transatlantic
fight. The airplane is machine for
short dashes, so far as present devel-
opment goes, while the Zeppelin type
is of the character for long voyages.
Following is comparative record
of voyages across the Atlantic from
the caravel of Columbus to the R-34.
First sailing vessel-Santa Maria,
Spanish, from Palos to San Saliva

BIG HAUL
OF FISH
Hundreds of Pounds of Fish Caught
When Swallow Springs Goes
Dry.

One of the mysteries of nature is
the underground water courses OF
Western Kentucky which apparently
join. all the larger streams of this
section. e.
Swallow Springs, on the Palmyra
pike, south of town, one of the
most well known outlets of these
subterranean channels. Every year
during the winter this spring over
flows and forms great lake which
stays until early summer and then
goes away as quickly as it came.
Eeach year when the water recedes
hundreds of pounds of fish of all
kinds, especially those which fire.
quent large streams and had found
their way underground into the lake
are left stranded
This year has proved to be no ex-
ception to the rule. The lake has
gone for the year and the farmers of
the neighborhood have made
a rich haul of bass, croppie, channel
cat, buffalo and perch. These were
caught in nets, or were shoveled out
with shovels and everybody had
a full supply of fresh fish.
Next year the same thing will &C.
cur unless nature intervenes and
stops up the underground channels.

HIGHER TRANSPORTATION

A further increase of 15 to 20 per
cent. in transportation costs either
before or soon after the Government
surrenders the railroads is predicted
by many railroad executives, accord
ing to Washington dispatch. Hor-
izontal freight-rate advances made in
an effort to place the railroads upon
a self-supporting basis up'to the pres
ent have not been enough. The rail
road deficit for May is $59,000,000

AMERICAN SLANG
is NOT POPULAR

London, July 12.-The English
people like American photo-plays
but they do not like the sub-titles
when slang is used.
A well-known London critic has
praised a new American film produc-
ed here, but is rather severe on the
captions. He could not understand
what a "bonehead" meant, boob
was completely beyond him, and
"bring back the bacon" he considered
impossible from any viewpoint.
Aside from the word "some" which
has been taken up as an adjective by
Londoners, Americans in England
still have monopoly on their slang.
