AMERICA ENTERS
 THREE PLANES IN
 PARIS CUP RACES
Small, High-Powered Graft Will Represent U. s.
 In Sept. 27 Events.

NEW YORK, Sept 14-Original American design, high power, small size and greater speed than any re- corded aeronautical performance of the past, are features which the de signers say are possessed by three airplanes enroute to Paris to repre- sent America in the Gordon Bennett Cup races beginning September 2. [ Wright Curtiss and the United conquest of the air, are the names which will be painted on the fusil- 1 ages of the three American racers, each chosen for the promise it held out to bring back the trophy which has been in France since 1913. Upon these three entrants America pins her hope of ever again possess ing the coveted cup, which will be- come the permanent property of France if she wins again this year.
 The race will be held at Etampes, near Paris, over a circular course of 300 kilometers (1S6.3 miles) The prizes include 100000 francs offered by the French Government and the Gordon Bennett Cup valued at $2,500.
 Two or three American machines are monoplanes, while the army con testant, though of miniature propor- tions, is biplane. All three have been especially designed for the race, including special motors and devices to increase speed and en- durance It is said to be the opinion of flying experts that the winner of this race must make over 200 miles an hour.
 In the special Curtiss machine the pilots seat is far back on the fusilage, two thirds the distance from the nose to the tail. The pro peller is short and stubby with a streamlined hub. Unusually thick wings are supported on either side by a single thick strut extending to the hub of the landing wheel. The bird cage radiators are slung on either side of the motor. The power plant is a 12-cylinder, 400 horsepower motor.
 The chief peculiarities of the Wright entry are the wings which are of three-ply wood veneer instead of the usual fabric covered frames and an undercarriage which folds into the fusilage when the machine is in flight, thus reducing the wind resistance and resulting in a pro portionate increase in speed The mechanical action necessary to fold up the undercarriage also flattens out the wings into racing form, pro viding a wide variation between max imum and minimum speeds, the thick wing being used for landing and taking off. Power is furnished by 250 horsepower motor of special design.
 The Air Service racer is still some thing of a mystery. It was designed and built at McCook Field, the army experimental station by designers of the Liberty motor. The motor is of 800 horsepower.
 Pilots of the three machines are Roland Rohlfs, former holder of the worlds altitude record, Capt Ru dolph Schroeder, the present title holder and Howard Rine hart.

SCHOOL NEWS

On account of the extremely cold weather which has prevailed In Fair banks for the past week, many pupils have been absent The attendance of the first and second grades has been very poor, only twelve of all the latter grade being present. In writing contest given in the first grade. Ellen Clausen came out ahead again this month and has the desired ten credits.
 Those leading in the penmanship record for this month In the sixth grade are George Buttorovich and Bertha Guis Those of the fifth grade are Franklin Zimmerman and Jean Bunnell.
 In assembly Monday morning some interesting letters were read from the eighth grade boys attending the different schools for boys in Islington. London They spoke of their glad ness over the opportunity of corres- bonding with American boys. The British American Fellowship society Is responsible for this plan and is making 1t possible for the children of the two nations to learn some thing of one another. It Is hoped this correspondence between the two eighth grades will continue.
 The entire high school Is busily preparing for the semester tests. These examinations will begin on Tuesday of next week and will cov- CT all work from Sept. Is to the pres ent time. Those having an average of ninety in any subject, with . monthly average of 90. also 90 in de- pertinent, with no unexcused ab- sences or tardiness do not have to take these tests.
 Beautifully engraved cards of the American Creed have been received from MT. Henderson, for each room in the school. Similar cards have been sent to all other Alaskan schools thru the courtesy of Behru- ends bank of Juneau.
 Last Saturday a few of the high school pupils went on .sleighing party to MT. Hahn's, who is assistant superintendent at the government farm. Music was furnished by MT. Young and Mir.

in this case the principle product of a mining industry. not only profits but even possibility of working at all will soon be out of the question If, then, mining is to continue in this district there must be some other compensation, such as cheaper power, to offset this handicap.
 The shortage of labor was caused in part by the enlistment and daft ing for military service of the young est and strongest of the miners, which made it necessary for the mines to work short handed. while such labor as could be secured was not able 10 do the same amount of work as the younger and stronger men who had left, causing a further decrease in production for the same wage cost. And the shortage of labor was further enhanced by the tempting offers of employment at high wages in the states. which attracted many other miners away from the interior. But even the shortage of labor and high cost of supplies might have been successfully overcome if fuel for pow CT, which plays such a large part in the cost of mining here had been available at a reasonable price.
 When the placer mines were first discovered an abundance of fuel was to be had on the tree-clad slopes and bottoms of the valleys. Wood was plentiful and could be obtained at a reasonable cost But after few years of using this timber as fuel

al the actual cost of production, while private capital would require good
 sized profit. And with government operation the cost Of production will be less than with private ownership because the fixed charges. which are necessarily large proportion of the cost of power will be reduced to a minimum For the United States can borrow money at 1 per cent instead of or percent, and hence would need to charge but this amount on Its investment: 1t can wait 20 years instead of 10 for the return of its capital; and 1t does not pay taxes or carry insurance; all of which as increased fixed charges would add very considerably to the cost of pow CT If it were to be furnished by a pri- yate corporation.
 The work must be undertaken quickly, however, because the mining industry of the interior Is facing grave crisis. Costs are prohibitive. except for extremely rich bonanzas. and the cream has already been skinned from most of these. The completion of the railroad will help by reducing the cost of supplies. but 1t cannot of itself solve the problem entirely because it cannot furnish the prime essential factor-that of cheap power. Without this no ad- vance can be predicted for the mining industry of the interior; and unless relief Is In sight at once the small population that has remained thru the past stress of dark days will drift away. The district will lose a people lnured to the rigors and hardships of an Arctic winter climate, understand ing fully the conditions and difficult ties of mining such as are 10 be found only here, an understanding obtained by years of work and experience. It will lose & people of rugged pioneer type having a vision Of the future that Is invaluable Years will be re- quired to replace them, if ever, and the loss will be fncalcuable. It Is not safe to assume that under con tinuance of present conditions the country will remain even stationary. Frontier countries do not remain at a standstlll; they either advance or decline, and once started the descent is rapid.
 It rests with the people of the nation to determine the future of the interior of Alaska; whether the out come of the crisis Is to be un- paralled development, or a rapid and sudden reversion to the conditions of sporadic hunting and fishing that prevailed before the discovery of gold. such as must surely result un- less cheaper power can be obtained for the mining industry. But with power at the price to be had from a plant like the one just discussed, the future, and a glorious one is as sured for the mining industry, fol agriculture. for the government rail road, and for the settlement and de- of the country that will accompany them. The resources are here and need only to be developed The American people are said to lead the world in shrewd business acumen. Will it be either patriotic, or shrewd or business-like to let this golden opportunity slip from be- tween our fingers?

destroy living germs of the same
sort, or their poisons, and they are
generally used as prcventives of
particular diseases.
Another way OF controlling dis
cases is by the use of antitoxins, of
which diphtheria antitoxin is the
most familiar example.
Diphtheria antitoxin is made by
introducing into the body of
horse the poisonous toxin formed by
the diphtheria germ in the course
of its growth. This toxin acts
somewhat like vaccine and stimu-
Iates the tissue of the horse to form
an antitoxin substance which
destroys this particular toxin.
Then some of the blood of tho
horse is drawn off. the clear part
or serum is separated and purified.
and this serum, containing the anti
toxin formed by the tissues of the
horse, is put into the body of a
person suffering from diphtheria to
destroy the poisons OF the germ.
Diphtheria sntitoxin is used not
only TO combat the disease directly,

or adults who have been exposed
