modern American literature and
journalism, and we might add in
modern American speech. From

MRS. EDITH b. FORD
CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY,

An interesting bit of news from
oUt-of-town. for the "Old-timers" in
Washington is the story of the cele-
bration last week Of the SSth birth
day of Mrs. Edith B. Ford at her
home on North Gilmore street in
Baltimore.
The day was more in the nature
OF a family reunion than a birthday
celebration. Her eight children,
twenty-six grandchildren and four
teen t-grandChildren attended.
Mrs. Ford's greatest interest in
life has always been her children.
and for the last few years they
have always gathered at her home
on her birthday.
In spite of her age. Mrs. Ford is
still very active and takes great in
terest in current events and things
happening around her. She is very
fond Of flowers and takes daily
walks in the garden surrounding
the house. Next to her children
her room is always kept flled with
them.
When the late John T. Ford pur-
chased the site of the home from
the Armstrong estate in 1860 there
was not another house in sight. and
the mansion was surrounded by a
farm. But now the house Is shut
in on all sides by dwellings and
with its spacious lawns and trees
appears as an oasis.
Washingtonians will remember
that Mrs. Ford's husband was one

theater at Ninth street and Lou

London, Aug. 2l.-Three striking
facts stand out in the recent devel-
opment OF British aYiation-and
there has been a really great devol-
Opment during the past two monhs.
1t is as cheap to travel by air
plane as by train in Britain, today.
1t is as cheap for the transportation
of goods. In a little while it will
be cheaper This is due to the in
crease in passenger fares and
freightage rates on the railways
which comes into force in Septem-
ber.
Final tests have been completed
and within a month or so there Will
be in the air fleet of British goods
carrying airplanes known as the
"four-ton flying tramps."
The latest baby" passenger ma
chine is the "Whippet" This air
plane. which is only seven and
half feet in height and sixteen and
a Quarter feet long has a fifty-horse
power engine, can fly ut an average
speed of ninety-tive miles an hour
and climb to 10000 feet.
England is favored in respect TO
sirdfOmes. For the purposes of
training and coast defence in the
war these landing fields were laid
out in all parts of the country. They
are nearly all available today, and
all are in good condition. And they
have provided every opportunity for
trying out new aircraft.
\ feature in the development of
aircraft here is an amphibian ma
chine that can ascend from or alight
on either land or water. known as
the Vickers Viking" this machine
is relatively a small one, some forty
five feet or SO in span, ana carries
five passengers in addition to a pilot.
The combination of land and wa
ter machine has been achieved with
out sacrifice to either speed or aC-
commodation. The transfer from
land to sea machine is effected by a
simple movement on the part of the
pilot The wheels are carried on a
frame at the side of the machine,
and when not in use can oe raised
up well above the water level.

Uncle Harry Talks About
The New Railroad Wages and Rates

The other day while 1 was rid
ing on the trolley car 1 heard two
men talking. and one of them said.
Wen, with the new railroad rates,
guess the cost of living is going
to go up some more Why did he
say that, Uncle Harry" asked
Jimmy.
Probably the man has come to
the same conclusion that most
everybody else has come to-" said
Uncle Harry. In a word, no mat
ter what happens-up goes the cost
Of living! 1 think, however. he had
in mind the recent decision of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
granting permission to the rail-
roads of the country to increase
railroad freight, passenger, Pull
man. baggage and milk rates"
Will the Cost of Living increased
But don't you think these in
creased rates will make the cost
of living go higher" asked Helen.
There is undoubtedly some prob
ability, not to say danger, of the
new rates resulting in an increase
in the cost of living" replied Uncle
Harry. In fact. the very day after
the news was published saying that
the railroads had the authority to
increase their rates, dispatches were
sent out from Washington stating
that the United States Department
of Justice was preparing to watch
for attempts on the part of manu-
facturers, wholesalers and retailers
OF various articles to increase the
-costs of their products on account
of the increased rates they will
have to pay for transportation. --
"On the other hand, various rail-
road officials say that the increased
rates should not increase the cost
of living. For instance, one OF
these officials made the statement
that he believed the increased rates
instead of increasing the cost Of
living, will have just the opposite
effect. He says that the new rates
will supply the railroads with in
creased funds so that they can en-
large and improve their equipment
and transport more freight and do
it in quicker time than heretofore.
He seems to think that all this will
mean greater supply of food sent
to market and that therefore prices
will go down"
roads will get from these increased
rates will be used to pay the in
creased wages granted to the rail
workers. won't it," asked Jimmy.
Yes. the increase in the wages of
the railroad workers, which amounts
to about $500, 100000 a year. will
come out of the $500, 900, 900 that
the new freight and passenger rates
will bring in to the railroad COM
panies," said Uncle Harry.
How ssOo. .OOO. 900 VIII Be spent.
What will become of the differ

and the total amount of the in

You're getting to be quite a law

me" said Uncle Harry, laughing,
but that's a coed question. The an
swer is that the 5000, ,OOO,O 900 that

pointed to Sweden a fortnight be-
fore the outbreak of the world war

every motorist knows. be considered a
reckless rate of speed OF course, one
can drive recklessly at 25 miles per hour
or at five miles per hour for that mat
ter, if one is insistent upon being reck-
less.
Forty Miles In Kansas.
In Kansas excess Of 40 miles per hour
is presumptiye evidence of guilt In case
of an accident. Compared with most OF
the states the legislators of Kansas are
speed merchants.
In Florida excess Of 25 miles per hour
for one eighth of a mile is prima facie
evidence of speed greater than reason
able and proper.
In Tennessee the maximum legal speed
is 100 miles per hour, literally con-
den there.
In many states local regulations are
prohibited while in others, as in New
York, cities of the first class as New
York, Rochester and Buffalo are per-
mitted to adopt local speed laws.
Other municipalities in New York state
may establish a minimum speed law oil
u miles per hour, but the local authori-
ties are bound to erect signs for the in
formation of motorists.
Jersey Insists on Mirror.
There are various regulations for head
lights and spotlights: In New Jersey
the use of spotlights is confined to read
ing sign and house numbers. Mirrors
are also required by the New Jersey law
SO that the motorist may view traffic
in rear.
The majority of the states do not re
quire lights on horse drawn vehicles
Such lights are required In Ohio, Yer
mont, Washington and Rhode Island.
The touring hoard has &C.
complished wonders in the last few years
in the matter of uniform legislation
There remains, however, much for every
motorist to do to help establish uniform
laws where up to the present they have
not been passed.
