It seems TINT birds feed their young

even there less can be found by them

TO OPERATE AIRSHIP FLEET
Ambitious Plans Credited to English
Company Well Within the Realm
of Possibility.

a company has been formed in Eng
land for the purpose of operating a
fleet OF airships to various parts of the
world The syndicate desires to ac-
quire ground near Southport, where 1t
proposes to erect n tower 100 to $50
feet high to which airships may be
moored. and an elevator will take the
passengers up the tower and into the
gondolas of the ships The syndicate
intends to have a feet of non-rigid
airships In commission next spring;
the smaller will carry % passengers
and crew and the larger 40 passengers
and crew. The company also antic-
ipates running some of the larger
rigid airShips now in course Of con-
struction. These will have a carrying
capacity Of $50 passengers and be able
to travel to any part of the globe. 1t
is proposed TO use the smaller non
rigid airships to feed the larger ones
and meet them at the principal CEN
tiers. The cost per mile is put at about
half the cost of n taXicab fare today,

North Dakota's Ignite.

A government report says 1.-The fuel
problem has been forever solved in
North Dakota" The western half of
the state is underlaid with Ignite. the
beds estimated to contain 6000O0,OOO,-
600 tons. Over thousands of square
miles this soft coal lies so close TO the
surface that farmers. merely dig a
hole In their own fields and take out
the coal as they require it. During
1918 1.OOO,000,000 tons were mined. If
the farmer is too busy with his farm
work to help himself, he can buy it
for $3.50 or 81 per ton. Many of the
large grain elevators are operated by
power furnished by coal that Is mined
on the spot. and this general economy
in fuel has aided materially in in
creasing the per capita wealth.

Congress will fulfill their pledges
to the men who won the war.
Even if these leaders were will
ing, they are unable to enact any
legislation in behalf OF the for
mer fighters. In the first place
the promise was given for the
purpose OF getting the soldiers
votes and not with the object OF
compensating their sacrifices and
sufferirigs. In the second place,
however good the intentions OF
a few Republican Congressman
may be. the opposition OF the
leaders To any measures that will
reveal the dissensions and hopes
less disagrecncnts in the ranks
of the &. O. r. foredooms all sol
der legislation 10 the pigeonholes
OF the committees.
The soldiers and sailors are
but one element OF the American
public 10 which the Republican
managers have made empty
promises. There was an an
nouncenent that the profits taxes
would be modified and the lux
ury taxes repealed. There has
been no serious attempt on the
part Of the present Congress to
do either OF these things. There
was statement that the rail
roads would be legislated into
something like a definite and per-
manent status so that their own
erS and their users might know
what to expect. The Senate
passed the Cummins bill, but its
progress through the House Of
Representatives is halted by
pickering and conflict among the
of the Republican ma
jority. Even in rcdeeming their
promise to revise the tariff-a
project on which they formerly
were nearly always unanimous
the Republicans cannot agree.
There is only one viewpoint in
which. seemingly, the Republi-
can leaders of Congress can CON
cur. That is that the people are
easily deluded and hardly know
the difference between a promise
and a performance.

Persimmon Juice Valuable.

All over Japan flourishes the per-

mems grow in the warmer parts of the
empire, and the belief is current that
the juice of the persimmon is ades-
tined 10 cosmopolitan importance. Says
the Christian Science Monitor. So far
the use of persimmon juice in pig
ments is hardly known outside of
Japan. hut such is its proved value in
that country that il is expected to be-
come an important article of export,
valuable alike to those who paint pic
lures and those who paint houses. The
juice of the persimmon is especially
useful in mixing paints In damp coun-
tries. More than that. it makes an
adhesive which is affected neither by
heat nor by water, and is therefore
valuable in making packing paper, UNI
6rellas. raincoats. paper boxes. water
proof cloth, and for producing gloss
on silk, tortoise shell and other smooth
substances.

RALLY TO OLD COMPANY Nj


1t has not been SO very many
years ago that the Maryland Ma
tional Guard was generally con
sidercd as a more or less inef-
fcctivc organization, chiefly be-
cause no occasion arose for ac-
tive service. Its units went to
camp about once year and now
and then appeared in parades at
special public functions. The sit
uation was then free from war
or rumors Of war, and real pre-
parcdness was apparently not
called for. Even SO, its efficiency
fully measured up to the require
ments of the times and no one
doubted that if the call for active
service ever did come the high
est traditions OF the State would
be gloriously upheld.
Then came the war with Spain,
and with ii an awakening to the
real importance and value of the
State Militia. Annapolis and
Anne Arundel County furnished
two companies. besides other
contributions of service, and the
local pride in our boys was fully
justified. Likewise, in the trou-
bic with Mexico they performed
service on the border with honor
and distinction.
But it was in the World W ar,
the time that tried mems souls
as never before. that the State
Militia. the minute men" of
this generation. proved their
highest justification And in this
supreme trial Annapolis and
Anne Arundel County shared in
full measure the glory that came
to the whole organization.
Therefore, it is particularly
gratifying and fitting that. when
the National Government, in
paying tribute to the State Mill
tia through the provisions OF the
National Defense Act. calls for a
reorganization OF the State
forces on a postwar basis, rec
ognition should be given to An
napolis as one OF the centers for
a permanent military establish
ment.
This move practically means
that old Company NJ is to be re
organized and now that the re-
cruiting lists are open, under the
direction OF Captain Daniel J..
Murphy. a soldier tried and true,
the same spirit that gave it life
and strength in the past will
make it secure for the future.
