FLYING BOATS
 CAN BE USED IN ALL SEASONS

That @ flying boat can neither be showed under nor ice-bound, has been proven in a series of tests made re- | gently at the Newport, N. J! factory of the Aeromarine Plane & Motor Company.
 The present winter, which has been cold and snowy enough to make an Eskimo brun1ble, has sometimes pre- vented even the army coast patrols and the air mail from flying. Drifts the flying fields were the cause of this. Then winter was, however, ideal for the purpose of testing out the all-weather possibilities of the i flying boat. great expanse of firm ice formed on Raritaa Bay, part of New York's lower bay, at Newport.
 Sometime before the big fall of snow which deposited a white blank ct two feet deep on New York and it's environs, c. J. Zimmerman, chief ] test pilot of the company, taxied ] 4O-L two place Aeromarine out onto the smooth ice. He found that the boat slid along on it's keel like a giant skate. The manner in which it re- sponded to the controls convinced him that he could take off success fully. He ''gaye her the gum and found himself almost immediately in the air. The ice did not oppose the passage of the hull as does water.
 Getting back on was also not so much of a stunt as the pilot had reck- oned. It was simply a matter of straightening out his machine at the right time and height The hull withstood the gentle settling on the ice as it withstood landing on the water. Pilot Zimmerman repeated the stunt a number of times to make sure he had not been just lucky the first time
 Shortly after this achievement he left Newport for Daytona, Fla, with his plane to act as pilot for Inglis M Uppercu, president of the company who is an old-time flying enthusiast. His work on alI-season flying was continued by Edward Musick, another big blizzard had come along and both the ice of Raritan Bay and the field alongside the factory were cov- cred deep. In the thick of the bliz- gard the liner Princess Anne went ashore off Rockaway Point. Musiek decided to go out to see if it were possible to aid her in any way. With Joseph J. Roland, a company engin- ger as passenger, he glided over the snow-covered ice in an Aeromarine The boat was borne up by the snow precisely as a skee or snowshoe is upheld. He got off the thick coy ering without difficulty and flew to the wreck only to find that the police boat Patrol had taken the passen- gers off the wreck. He flew back to Newport without landing. This time he set the boat down on the snow covering the landing field.
 In the following days the snow melted gradually so Musick made a number of takeoffs and landings on the field. He carried several photo .raphers and movie men to the wreck. In the hnal tests he found

he could land on and get off ground covered by only two or three inches of snow. He was clocked a number of times and it was noted that he averaged IA seconds on the takeoff, generally gliding about TOO feet be- fore reaching flying speed. He land- ed on snow in about 450 feet. For these tests the only change made in the boat was the equipping of the wing top pontoons with skids.

 NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. '. - A poll of the Tennessee legislature on the suffrage amendment indicates it's rejection, P. P. Christensen, Farmer Labor party candidate for president tonight notified Senator Harding and Governor Cox in telegrams placing responsibility for the fate of the amendment on them.
 MT. Christensen is here to address the Nashville trades and labor coun- cil in behalf of ratification tomorrow. The special session of the legislature to consider suffrage is called for Monday.
 You are we'll aware that unless the Tennessee legislature ratifies sur frage the women cannot participate in the November elections" the mes sages said. You are we'll aware of your power to influence members Of your party in the Tennessee legislat ure on this question, inasmuch as your party platform pledges you and your party to immediate application Ol tic itClpic Ol Olil'Cl odi If you cannot hold members of your party faithful to the party's pledges before election, the country will doubt your ability to carry out your pledges if you should be elected.
 This is to notify you that out of 26 Democrats in the state senate on- ly eight are pledged to ratification and out of 73 Democrats in the house only 34 are pledged to ratification; that out of seven Republicans in the state senate only three are pledged to ratification and out of 26 Republi- cans ill the house only eight are pledged to ratification. Many of the unpledged members have said they will stand by the decision of their party caucus.
 Tennessee is the show down Of your sincerity in this matter. Any thing less than immediate action re- sulting in ratification will be accept ed by the thinking people of the coun campaign bunk. The people have had sufficient of sympathetic words on this question from politicians of both old parties"

ionally Turkish peasants drive flock of sheep or turkeys into this swirl of traffic and serene oxen draw heavy carts along at a pace so slow that drivers of military camions curse them in ten different languages.
 The narrow, crooked streets of Con- stantinople are ill-suited to motor traffic and the slow-going fatalistic Turk is little inclined to change his pace Consequently there are many accidents and the indifference with which foreign military cars are driv- en, has done much to intensity Turk ish hatred of foreigners.

CONSTANTINOPLE. Aug.

CONSTANTINOPLE. Aug. :. - Constantinople now combines all the frenzy of new mining camp and a world seaport. It's the end of the traiP' for. all the, Balkan states and everything west of Suez on the Med iterranean. Caucasian oil men, Do- metz Basin miners, Anatolian sheep and cattle kings, Greek war million aires and Syrian merchants rush to Constantinople to pop champagne in proof of their success. Soldiers and sailors of half a dozen nations swell the population and add to the cosmo- politan aspect of the streets and pleas ure resorts. .... .-'--..-
 Under allied. occupation the city has become a wilder place than it was under the Turks. There are no civil courts. None of the allies de- sire to assume responsibility for re- forms other than are necessary to safe guard life. Italian, French and British troops cooperate with the Turkish gendarmerie in keeping or der But everybody's job is nobody's job. Consequently Constantinople H a very wide open town. Midnight closing is enforced pretty generally, but until that hour there is little in reference with dance halls, gambling dives and redlight districts unless murder is committed.
 Leadville and Goldfield in their dig ziest days never offered anything wilder than certain sections of Con stantinople where jazz bands vie with Neapolitan orchestras and tsigane singers in their efforts to attract way farers into the beer tunnels and dance halls filled to overflowing with the painted women of many nationalities
 Half dozen summer gardens offer vaudevill programs which attract thousands of persons every night who seem to have far more interest in the drinks and restless crowds than in the Russian prima donnas and bare-legged dancers whose art is usually as mea- gre as their attire. Turks. Arabs, Bedouins, Egyptians and Assyrians, gorgeosusly clad in native costumes, elbow their way among Cossacks and Georgians whose uniforms are far more brilliant than their recent mil itary achievements.
 Coal-black French coloniaIs, re- ' splendent in red fezzes and green khaki, mingle with Sikhs and PunJabi whose long hair and many-coIored headdresses are wrapped in sombre brown. Civilians, soldiers and sail ors from all parts of the world are hopelessly jumbled together in Con- stantinople crowds and are so busy looking at each other that tenors from the Petrograd opera, naughty French singers from, Montmarte and Austrian strong-jawed ladies claim but slight attention.
 Constantinople itself is grand pa geant every day. It's main thorough fare, Rue Grand Pera, is more fas- cinating than any scene which pro ducers can ever hope to stage Camel drivers lead their patient trains, bur dened with charcoal, through the maze of street cars, shrieking army motor cars and carriages, piloted over the rough paving at breakneck speed by Turkish hostlers who crack their whips and shout constantly at high pitch to pedestrians who venture off the narrow sidewalks.
