Explanation of
Cross Section

We wish to call your attention to cylinder
extending longitudingly through. center of
machine. We will place, cigar shaped en-
velope around the cylinder tubing and place
therein just sufficient helium gas units to
take up the dead weight of the structure and
it is poised in the air. You can push it up
with one finger. You see, when we put in
this helium gas we step down from ITS horse
perpendicular rudder to guide to the right or
left as shown and we are about to 20 some
where. You will note that the propeller above
has an open center and the rudder is bifurcated
through the cylinder. If you were to throw
your hat up in front Of it, it would be ierked
inside and the propeller blades would cut it
INTO carpet rags As it went through and throw
it far into the rear.
Another thing, the propeller blades are
thin, sharp Steel so that the infringement of
the air is perfect, and the air stream is con-
slant. You see, this machine is self-stabfl-
i!er l! and they can travel in squadron forma-
n Of as stsbty 5 SeI apart IT, On

Why is it that the Higgins aircraft is
built slender, for convenient housing in the
hangers and convenience in passing each
other, while other types have such wide ex
panse Of planes!
;. Answer: Planes have propellers mounted
IN open air, and in such cases either the pro
peller revolves or the machine reyolves. and and
in such types Of aircraft there is a constant
twist, or torque, which can only be overcome
by wide expanse Of plans and special con-
;tructon: tio IN the Higgins type the propeller
tire structure automatically becomes a self
stabilizer. Don't you see? It is riding a cv-
clonic column Of air. s "

the centrifugal force will throw
them off the shaft.
The Higgins propeller mounts
the blades on inside of collar and
centrifugal force can't throw them
off. Besides this we can curve the
blade in such a manner as to get
centrifugal force of air. We may
use any number of blades or any
variation Of shape.
We are submitting to the world
that along with other advantages
we have solved the problem of
steel propeller.
Why do we want steel propel-
ler? Because they are strong, in
expensive, and can be made thin, SO
the infringement of air is perfect
and the air stream is constant. In
other words, this propeller blade
cuts the air so it is driven one way
the way we want it to 20.
Now, consider this propeller
mounted in the center Of q cylinder
and rotating at high speed! No
air is wasted over the end of the
blades. The blades are thin and
bear the air in one direction. Above
all our center is not wasted. In
fact, all the air space in the cylin-
der is used and as the air can 20
only one way, We get compression
of air.
This screw will work in water As
well as in air.
That is exactly how we propose
to travel through the air-by ma
chine that '"eats the air." but we
expect to outstrip our pond water
friend for speed.

REGARDING THE FLU"

The Surgeon General and State health Cffice have requested me to telegraph immediately on any outbreak of infu- enza and daily thereafter.
 This doesn't mean that we are going to have the disease, but that it is con- sidered more than probable that we will have some cases in the near future. Hence few remarks may be timely: 1st. Fear or dread of the disease was directly responsible for quite per cent of deaths in 1918.
 This year the disease is milder and and there is no reason for anyone to be alarmed if the disease does appear, but should go on with his business as usual In New York where schools and busi- ness kept going on; mortality was lower than in some closed cities.
 Should anyone take the ''fu"-he should go to bed, cover up well, take a hot drink, open up the window or door and notify the health authorities.
 To resist it one should eat very little meat or cheese, but more fruits, veg etables and salads; keep in open air, away from crowds, breathe deeply, take exercise and not worry.
 Don't wear masks, don't over-eat. Don't shutup the house. Don't take a lot of preventative medicines and don't get scared and everything will come out all right.

To Build Petrified
 Forest Road.

Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 27.-The State Highway department has issued a call for bids for the con- struction of the State Highway through the Petrifed Forest. The Section to be constructed is known as Section 3, Holbrook-St. Johns Highway, Arizona, Federal Aid Project No. 2, A project agreement had been executed about a year ago with the United States Bureau of Public Roads covering this section of Highway, but before proceeding with the construction a change in the al- lignment was deemed advisable This change results in a shorter and more direct road, at consid- erably less expense, and is entire ly within the forest. The State Highway department is acting on the theory that there is not suf- fcient money available to go to any extra expense to reach any par :icular point in the forest. The Highway, as now located, places within a very short dis tance of the highway practically the entire part of the forest that would be of interest to tourists, and will open up one of the most wond erful natural phenomena to be found anywhere.
 This highway is link on the Old Trails Highway passing thru the Northern part of the State by way of Springerville, St. Johns Holbrook, Winslow, Flagstaff, Ash Fork and Kingman.
 It is expected that work will start as soon as weather condi- tions will permit. and that this section will be completed by the beginning of summer.
 The grading and drainage work will be done by contract. the sur facing will be done by the State Highway Department, using equipment recently acquired from the War Department.

 A glance, a gesture, or an in- tonation, may be vital with false hood, sinking a heavy shaft of cruelty deep into the injured soul though truth, in it's all-disclos- ing effuIgence, will, sooner or later, disperse the mists and doom the falsifer to deserved aversion; still, the exposure of the guilty does not recompense the injured any more than the bruising of the serpent heals the wound made by bis barbed fang.
 An injurious mor-originat- ing. perhaps, in some sportive gossip once attached to a per- sons name, will remain beside it a blemish and doubt forever. Especially is this true of the fair sex, many of whom have, from this cause, withered and melted in their youth like snow in the spring, shedding burning tears of sadness over the worlds unkind- ness and mans inhumanity to man."
 Among many species of ami mals, if one of thelr number is wounded and falls, he is at once torn to pieces by his fellows. Traces of this animal cruelty are seen in men and women today. Let woman fall from virtue and nine-tenths of her sisters will turn and tear her to pieces, and the next day smile on the man who ruined her! The cruelty of woman to woman is perfectly O, shame!

During the month of December doctors reported smallpox in three of the fourteen counties of Ari- zona. It was particularly in Phoe- nix and neighboring towns. The State Board of Health insists that the only dependable protection against smallpox to the individu- al and against an epidemic to the community is vaccination. Some people decline to use vaccination and tell of direful accidents as the reason. Most of these alleged cases are pure invention; but even if it were true, it would be ten times more dangerous to go through life unvaccinated. and take the risk Of smallpox and it's horrors, than there is in vacina- tiOn.
