People Were skeptdcal.

GA year ago, ninety-nine out of 9
hundred at Milwaukee laughed when
told them that was going to build an
airliner that would carry passenger:
from coast to coast in So hours. 1t took
a while to convince some that I wa:
not crazy I first got Mr.. August Vogel
with $1,000. / then asked him if ]
could take the paper around to show
his friends so as to interest them. He
said his friends would say that he was
crazy and he did not like the idea at
first. Mr.. Alexander came forward
with another $1,000, and Nick STREET
with another $1,000, and I started to
build my plane.
"While it was building, they were
betting it would not fly. An ex-army
aviator said THAT machine win never
fy-it will kill everybody that goes up
in it,
They did go up in it, and when I
was at Washington, Secretary of War
Baker, his wife and child few in it,
and IL senators, although Secretary of
War Baker had even refused to fly in
an army plane befo.v.
eve have a machine in Milwaukee
now that will fly from New York to
San Francisco in SO hours. An agent
of mine has been west and purchased
enough spruce to build 100 ships. Hun
dreds of business men are now getting
interested in the proposition and are
putting their money into it.
Zone day and two nights from New
York to San Francisco" is the time
that Mr.. Lawson sets for has transcon-
tinental airline.
"We win leave New York 'clock
at night and be in Omaha at clock
the next morning. We will arrive at
Salt Lake City that same night, and be
in San Francisco next morning.
Wants Landing Field.
IF we can get flying field some
where between Milwaukee and Wauke-
gan it is quite possible that we will
make it the great central landing field
Of the United States The territory
around here is located so as to make
it peculiarly adapted for a great aerial
transportation center. There is lots Of
level open country between Milwaukee
and Chicago and it would be of grea
economic value to put the landing field
between the two cities. Passengers for
300 miles around would come to this
central field for to connect with the
transcontinental air route
Mr.. Lawson complained that the New
Butler field at Milwaukee is rather far
from the city, as is also the Ashburne
flying field in Chicago. It would take
as much or more time, he said, to go
to these fields as it would to go to the
central field near Kenosha and Racine.
1t would also be necessary to erect an
assembling plant near Kenosha, so that
the bodies of the ships could be brought
here to have the wings assembled and
make the try-out flights.
~ think that the psychological year
for aerial transportation is $780," said
Mr.. Lawson. The putting in here of a
central landing station would make Ke-
nosha the greatest airport on earth. -

Ordinances Adopted.

The garbage ordinance was reported
to the council, amended by Alderman
Anderson and passed. The ordinance
provides for the separation of the
garbage and prohibits the placing of
liquids, iron or steel scraps or broken
glass in the garbage cans under penalty
of minimum fine Of $25 and imprison-
ment Of 80 days.
The ordinance allowing the Chicago,
North Shore and Milwaukee railway
line to construct switch on Avery
street was passed. The mayor report.
ed an adding machine in the treasur-
er's Office was out of order and the
finance committee was directed to pur-
chase a new one like that in the
cler Is office.
In the matter of the making up Of
the payroll it was decided that the
recent raise in salaries of employees
Of the city for appoinGees Of the heads
of departments should take effect from
the first of January, 1920; but that the
increase for employees elected by coun-
Gil should begin with the beginning Of
the term after the coming election.
Alderman Wachs called attention to
an error in the newspaper reports Of
the cost of the lot for the new fire
station which should be $4,000 instead
of $4,000. The council then adjourned.

had now filed petition for the same

Alderman Wachs find out the protest
was illegal in other petitions. +"
Just then Alderman Tully asked if
there had not been an agreement of
couneilmen that the mayor was to ASK
the Standard Oil company to erect a
waiting room in connection with the
filing station for the convenience Of
passengers on the Sheridan road line
and the mayor said there had been but
he had not had an opportunity to pre-
sent the matter to the company. The
mayor then called upon G. H. Dibble,
of the Standard Oil company, who was
present, to know if the company would
not erect a comfort station for the
benefit of the people who had to travel
the Sheridan Road street car line. Mr..
Dibble answered that he saw no JUS
tice in asking the Standard Oil COM
pany to do something the electric
company should do. Whereupon the
matter was laid over until Mayor
Joachim should take the matter up
with the company and see what could
be done.

WHY SIGN BEFORE you READ?
Too Many Seem Pleased to Affix Their
Signatures to Anything Put
Before Them.

Judge Albion Il. Wright said at a
lawyers banquet in Cincinnati:
Sign here, please Gentlemen, it's
astonishing how these three simple
words hypnotic thousands of people,
causing them to affix their signatures
to contracts and agreements that they
will repent all their lives.
81 signed the paper without read
ing it, witness said to me one day.
Mr.. Blank told me what it's contents
were and I, naturally, thought that l
could trust him.
"'Yes,' said /, but you should have
remembered that when a person asks
You to sign something he, for his part,
doesn't trust your word-he insists on
having it in black and white. Well,
then, why should you take his word
when he won't take yoursT"
