BALLOON ASCENDS SI-2 MIL ES.
Unusual Air Crosscurrents Are Observed
at Aberdeen.

Aberdeen, Md, March 29.-An inter
esting pilot balloon observation was made
at the Aberdeen Proving Ground on
Tuesday by the Signal Corps Meteor
illogical Station.
The balloon was released at 7.47 a. m
and observed for So minutes, reaching
in that time an altitude of 45,225 feet
or more than SIS miles. The flight was
interesting from the standpoint of the
great height that was attained. Also, the
horizontal projection as calculated re-
vealed a complete reversal Of direction
in air currents above $4,000 feet, as com
pared with those below this level. While
change in direction at upper levels Is
not unusual, it is said, the fact that in
this case the winds were from the east is

Since our last edition the constitu-
tional amendment, allowing Florida to
bond for the purpose of road building,
vas defeated. The defeat of the
amendment was due primarily to a
misunderstanding, by majority of
the voters, of the real issue involved.
The amendment itself however was
rather unfortunately worded, and
some Of the blame for its defeat can
be laid at the door of the original
drafters, who heaped handicap upon
an otherwise hard job, by leaving the
wording open to construction other
than the real intent of the resolution.
It IS going to be hard enough at any
stage Of the game to get the support
o. the whole people of state like
Florldas where ignorance abounds, to
vote for any general proposition for
the good Of the whole Florida
Motorist.
Mr. Van Valkenburg didn't say any
thing about ignorance Astounding in
Florida until he found the people not
ignorant enough to be fooled by him
and his tribe. If the people here are
70 ignorant and uncongenial. he should
hunt another abiding place. Any one
horse farmer, making a little more
than he and his family uses, is worth
more to-tfe state than Mr.. Van Val,

Elsewhere will be found an explain
alton of why the government opposes
the landing of the Western Union
cable at Miami. 1t seems to be either
that the government wants to control
the cable itself, or certain interests
which have the ear of the government
desire to control the cable thru the
government. One of the reasons why
prices and taxes are SO high is gov
ernments must lay cables and sub
sidize ships in order to please business
interests. The taxpayers have to
pay out ten dollars in order that
some magnate may put one IN his
pocket. Germany followed this pol
icy to its logical end, and now our
commercial hogs are trying to force
our government along the same path.
It's the Stars opinion that the aver
age American would rather pay dol
lar for service from British cable or
steamship line than ten from an AM
erican. We have plenty OF things we
can sell at our own price, and it is
not business to have to buy other
things at trusts price, whether the
trust be native or foreign.
