Rules of the Air Easy To Follow Many Accidents From
Carelessness Rules Not Legally Enforceable
BY FREDERICK GREEN JOHNSON

Thus the balloon pilot never has to
worry, if he sees an airplane coming
toward him or about TO cross his path,
as TO whether it would be wiser to
throw out the clutch or TO step on the
accelerator. 1t Is up TO the plane pilot
to do the worrying. and to make n
wide detour, All the blimp has to do
is TO keep right on going, without al
tering its course or speed. That makes
it easy TO be balloonist.

 'DEADLINE'-ROB VAULT
Secureties Taken From Safe Of Pittsburgh Steel
 Company.

New York. Feb. 5.--The vault of the Pittsburgh Steel company in the Equitable building was footed last night by burglars, it was learned to- day. A large sum in securities was stolen. The Equitable building, which is in the heart of the financial district, houses the New York branch of the federal reserve bank.
 The stolen securities, which are not negotiable, were valued at thousands of dollars. So far as employees could determine after discovery of the rob bery the only cash taken was q $20 gold piece.
 The robbery, which was below the dead line" the point in New York 8 financial district beyond which crooks are not supposed to pass even for in nocent purposes, bore indications of being the work of expert cracksmen. Entrance apparently was gained to the company's quarters by use of a master key. The combination of the safe was cleverly worked out and steel doors to inner compartments were broken.

NAT. BANKS MAY GARRY
 BONDS AT PAR PRICES
Permitted to Hold Them As Assets At Purchase
 Cost.

Washington, Feb. 5.-National banks will be permitted to carry Liberty bonds in their lists of assets at the price at which they purchased them and not at the prevailing market quotations, under a ruling today by John Skelton Williams, comptroller of the currency. Mir Williams ex- plained however, that the ruling was flor the present." and might not be permanent.
 Mir Williams ruling was contained in instructions to national bank eX- aminers. It was explained that if a bank had purchased g. $100 bond at S97 and subsequently, the market quo tation for that issue was $95 the bank would not have to absorb the loss in listing it's assets.
 The comptroller added that with an estimated annual income of S1o,o00,- 100000 the American people soon would absorb available national secur- ities with the result that higher prices for them would prevail.

FIRE CHIEF NOBLE
 URGES PRECAUTION
Property Owners Should Protect Homes by Clearing Snow From
 Hydrants-Horses in Service.


 Deputy Chief William J. Noble to- day sounded a warning to property owners of this city to take all pre- cautionary measures against fires. He has offered as a suggestion that own- CTS of houses and business blocks see to it that the snow is removed from the hydrants in front of their places. By so doing, he said. the facilities in case of fire will be greatly aided. Property owners should not wait for days before looking after this matter. he said. @>
 The heavy snowfall and the condi- tion of the streets previously, made it necessary for the fire department to secure the assistance of the H. R. Walker company today in placing horses at Engine Companies Nos. 1 and 2. Chief Noble arranged for the plan in order that every emergency be cared for. The motor apparatus will be a ble to take care of alarms in the center of the city, but chances of the best service in the outlying dis trict are none too bright for the next few days. '..
 The securing of horses was decided upon following an alarm at 12:32 o'clock this noon from Box 94. Smoke was detected flowing from the build ing owned by Richard Erwin on Lafayette street facing Beaver street. It was found that the chimney had become clogged by snow. causing the smoke to back up in the chimney, filling the building. No damage was done to speak of. When the truck at the central station tried to turn around on Lafayette street, it was impossible to do so- It became neces- sary for the vehicle to go through Beaver street back to the stat ation.

PLANE TO START FRIDAY
 ON LONG AFRICAN TRIP
Greatest Flight Yet Attempt ed, From Cairo to
 CapetOwn.

London, Feb. 5.-First attempts to watched in England with an interest equal to that taken in the flight of Captain Ross Smith from England to Australia. This is largely due to the fact that much of the country to be traversed is of the widest character and is very remote from civilization.
 The Daily Times already has a big airplane at Cairo to which city it has flown from England. It will start on Friday on the first lap on the south ward journey, which will take it from Atabara, S7 miles up the Nile. It will carry crew of five and scien- tific observer.
 Peter Chalmers Mitchell, astrono- mer and secretary to the geological society of London, was passenger in a plane which left yesterday morn ing for Capetown, rising from an avi- ation field near here. There is no suggestion of a race between these two machines, the Times particularly disavowing any idea of competition.
 British airpiane DH-14 left Limone in Kent, this morning for Capetown.
 Construction of landing places and accumulations of gasoline and stores throughout the route to be followed has just bee completed after a. years work but the isolation of some of the stations, amidst dense forests of i'm mense extent, will necessitate especial care and daylight landings. Dangers in the event of accident from wild beasts. savages and lack of commun- 1cat1onS appear to be great.

Vienna, Feb. 5.-There is no doubt, according to newspapers here, that the national assembly, at it's meeting to be held March 1, will declare itself in favor of a monarchy in Hungary.

Gratz, who is supported by Premier Huzzar and several mem bers of the Friedrich government; former Emperor Charles, who never abdi- cated as King of Hungary and who is supported by a party which calls itself the ''1egitimist"; Count An drassy, who is urged by Admiral Horthy, head of the new Hungarian army, and Hungarian delegates to the peace conference; Archduke Joseph, the clerical candidate. and Prince Cyril, of Bulgaria, who, if chosen, will, it is said, marry one of Arch duke Joseph's daughters.
