TO OPERATE AIRsHlP 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
feet of airships to various parts of the
world The syndicate desires to ac-
quire ground near Southport, where it
proposes to erect a tower 100 to 100
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 fleet of non-rigid
airships in commission next spring;
the smaller will carry 80 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 carrying
capacity of $50 passengers and be able
to travel to any part of the globe. 1t
is proposed to use sthe smaller nom
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 taxicab fare today,
approximately about IS cents per mile.

Reasons for Feeding Birds.

BY feeding the birds in cold weather
one provides ammunition against the
mosquitoes of June, explains a men,
Der of the Animal Protective league.
1t seems that birds feed their young
on mosquitoes, thus destroying great
numbers of the pests. Little natural
food is available for birds in the Win
ter except in the extreme South, and
even there less can be found by them
at this season than in the summer. So
when the table or pantry shelf is
cleared of crumbs if the contents of
the crumb tray are scattered outdoors
instead of being put in the garbage
can. the birds will be thankful, and
will show their gratitude by saving
the food-giver many Il mosquito bite
next summer.
Mosquitoes are only one of the many
excellent reasons why birds should be
fed during the winter. The others are
all the other insects which hamper
the production of the garden, and all
pleasures of song and plumage.- st

Fairy Baskets.

FAIRY baskets are made of large
hazel nuts, filberts or peach pits. Fill
berts must be soaked in hot water for
several hours; hazel nuts and peach
pits may be used green. With a
sharp, fine pointed penknife bore
through the filbert or hazel nut on
each side in the light colored upper
third, cut away the she'll carefully
around the hole so as to leave a ham
die between the missions, dig out the
meat that is inside, then cut very tiny
notches in the lower edge. If you use
peach pits trim off the sharp point
then bore and cut out the shell and
trim the stalk end smooth.
Those baskets are never failing
pleasure to both children and grown
ups. One use to which you can put
the fairy baskets is loop "a dozen or
more upon strand of silk floss. fill
each one with earth and supply it with
single fine grass seed, then hang
them in sunny window and keep
moist.

GET PUBLICITY ON CALENDAR
Popular With the Merchants
of China.

1t has been known for long time
what a relative task it was to go visit
ing in China-that is. if you happened
to be a lofty dignitary and must there
fore carry along card of uncomfort-
able dimensions. Advertising. it seems,
shows corresponding divergence not
only from occidental methods, but
from those of nearby Japan. There
are thousands upon thousands of
newspapers in China. but they are
not very firmly established, and when
they do not soon disappear altogether,
they are almost sure to change name
frequently, as has been known to hap
pen with certain American products.
Newspapers of the republic have an
average daily circulation of 5000.
which is larger than it looks, since
the papers are carefully passed from
hand to hand. There is, then, to be
sure, newspaper advertising as we'll as
posters. But the most popular form
of publicity for merchants is-the cal
endar! Nowhere is that humble do
nestle article more important than in
China. Advertisements here placed are
looked upon every day. And after all,
when you look at the calendars that
begin to arrive about this time of the

Rritons Eat Less Meat.

Englishmen used to be considered
the greatest meat eaters in the world.
Now, declares the Society of Meat I'M
porters Nondon), the average Eng
lishman eats SO per cent less meat
than he did before the war. Unless he
can be induced to eat more of it the
country will be faced with such glut
of meat as it has never had before, a
London dispatch says.
The annual consumption of meat in
the United Kingdom before the war
was about 100000 tons, say the I'M
porters. 1t is now only 100000 tons.
And this, they contend, is due entirely
to the high cost still maintained. Eng
lishmen and Englishwomen. too, are
just as fond of meat as ever, but they
cannot afford to eat as much Of II
as they used to.

A BOOST FOR

Jan. l, Which Averages
s7S5 Per Mile

On Jan. Iowa had a net ball
ance in her primary road fund of
$5,046,77O. The primary road fund
is composed of money accruing
from automobile fees and federal
aid allottments. 1t is set aside by
the state legislature for the specific
purpose of construction and main
tenance work on the primary road
system of the state, comprising a
bout 6,400 miles of the main tra-
yelled roads. This fund averages
about S785.00 per mile.
There will be large additions to
the primary road fund during the
next four months from increased
automobile fees and from new al
lotment of federal aid which must
be obligated before July L. Federal
aid now available and that which
will become available by July LIST,
not yet obligated totals ST, sos, 755.
Iowa plans and specifications are
now before the U. S. Bureau OF
Public Roads sufficient to obligate
all but 5000, 900 of this amount ano
in February additional plans in

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 600.0OO,OO0,-
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,OO0000.000 tons We're mined. If
the farmer is too busy with his farm
work to help himself. he can buy it
for $3.50 or 50 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.

scientific expedition sent by the
University of Iowa to Barbados

Attracted at night by huge
light let down into the water, these
fish appeared only a shimmering
mass as their bodies for many eet
from the light caught the reflection
for moment and then vanished as
they turned into other positions.
University scientists in the party
caught many Of these remarkable
fish in net and examined them by
daylight to find them invisible in
water except for their eyes, which
have a dark color and appear only
as tiny dots. Outside of water
where the light retracts differently
they appear quite solid, however.
The specimens brought back to
the university laboratory are only
a few inches long. They have been
found to be the larvae of species
of fish closely allied to the eel

cheertulness Requires Courage.

1t takes a good deal of courage to
seem cheerful in wartime, yet it is a
detail of ones self-respect to keep a
smiling face in public. A display of
hysteria indicates considerable indif-
ference to the rights and comfort of
others, and is not good form. No mat
ter how hard life may be, one must
keep from scolding and scowling and
complaining and whining and indulge
in tears and grief only in ones own

moved the Notifications and other

CAESAR. THE ROAD BUILDER

Modern opinion, examining the
bodybuilding of the Romans and com
pairing it with that of today, has
reached conclusions which seriously
diminish the reputation of the Ro-
man engineers, or at any rate show
that they built to meet the, conditions
of certain kind of traffic They
built for endurance, but their roads
say these surprising critics, were so
rough that modern vehicles would be
shaken to pieces on them in short
order. If julius Caesar had driven a
motor car along the Appian Way so
suggests Motor Life, the journey
would have shaken him out of his
armoT, shaken his pluned helmet off
his head, and presently have shakep
his motor into a worthless wreck
The criticism comes from a study OF
the construction of the old Roman
roads; but from what one knows of
the Romans one may feel reasonable
certain that if Caesar had been wont
to go about in an automobile the Ro
man engineers would have built roads
that would have made motoring less
exciting and expensive. And the
Roman chariot, one may imagine,
bumped in moderation because its
pace was limited to match that OF
the marching legions.-C Christian
