Back to Work

Constantinople, May 2.-Zora, Tur-
keys Oldest man, said to be LAT years
OF age. has gone back to work az a
waterfront hamal Carrier of heavy
weights) after quarrel with the
Turkish naval base authorities.
He was recently pensioned in hon
or of his age and long service and he
was preparing to spend his last years
in idleness. But, as pensions are not
being paid here because of an, empty
treasury, Fora declared he was still
strong enough to work, and is daily
proving it. He has threatened to join
the Nationalist army i'm Anatolia., but
so far has kept the peace.
Old age makes itself respected in
Turkey by capacity and willingness
to work. 4 certain Murad. employed
as q messenger by the Turkish teie-
graph office, was offered pension
when he reached his 120th year. He
refused 1T. as il meant knocking off
work, but his superiors insisted he
must make room for younger people
who otherwise could find no work,
and would have no chance to get on
in life.
Murad finaily agreed to quit provid-
cd his young son was taken in his
place. This seemed fair and he was
told to bring the son around. The
son presented was a white haired man
more than 10 years old.

MANUFACTURERS To.
MEET At CLEVELAND
National Foreign Trade Council
May 4 to 7 !

Cleveland, O., May 2.--Questions of
immediate importance to every manu-
featuring interest in America, and in
directly to every citizen, will vitalize
the. discussions of the National Foreign
Trade council, whose annual conyen-
ton will be held here May to z.
First up for consideration will be the
tariff. A demand embodying the senti-
ment of the convention on, the pro-
posed new tariff law, will be made. In
conclusion an ''elastic bargaining
clause will be urged by many dele
gates, it is said.
Next will come the matter Of foreign
financing. The keynote will be sound
ed by w. P. G. Harding, chairman of
the Federal Reserve board, in an adj
dress on Frozen Credits-What They
Are and How to Thaw Them"
The third important consideration
before the convention will be that of
''double taxation of foreign invest
ments-a practice: which manufacture
ers say puts America at disadvantage
with other countries. Many manufac.
turers, bankers, and railroad and
steamship men from various parts of
the country already have announced
they will attend the convention and it
is believed that it probably will be the
most comprehensive gathering of in
dustrial and financial executives on
record.
Some of the men who have regis
tered for the meeting are E. A. G..
Clarke, president Consolidated Stee
corporation, New York; Edward n
Hurley, formerly chairman of the
shipping board, Wheaton, ILL.,, p. A. S
Franklin, president International Mer.

freight rate question.
Gently but firmly the committee
suggests that the efficiency in man.
agement of the. New England rail-
roads should be investigated by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
1t is quite possible that therein lies
the difficulty.
This will not be pleasant news for
the officers of the railroads. but it
is indicative of the belief of the
committee which has looked into the
matter, that perhaps the railroads
themselves should look into them
selves before asking the shipper to
pay a greater rate to relieve a situa-
ton which might be altered if such
honest investigation were to be made.
If things are as suggested it would be
one case where the wealthy. not the
business man of moderate means.

Honest, and sincere as was the
desire of Secretary Hughes to try
to AID in the settlement OF the repair

fulfilled. Instead of Fastening such
settlement. his note has given Ger
many an excuse for sitting back and
waiting for this country to speak. she
has had the nerve. as IL was believed
she would have. to place the reason
for the delay on this government.
Meanwhile IL is reported that the
Allies are agreed on the terms which
Germany must meet. There is some
doubt among them as to tho wisdom

believes Germany should be given "a

They believe that nothing we may
say or do will alter IL. They have
agreed on the terms; they will en-
force them under the treaty in which
we have no part-ergo-what can we

HELICOPTER Being
USED IN AVIATION
French Especially Interested ID
New Invention

Paris, May 2.-The French aviation
world, governmental and private, is
deeply absorbed at the present time
in the rapid development of the re-
Gently invented helicopter, the air.
plane which is designed to rise
straight up from the ground. The
French government, after a careful
investigation by commission of ex-.
perts, has officially accepted the ma
chine and has set aside substantive
sum of money for the Immediate I'M
provement OF the invention.
The Marquis r. Pateras Pescaras of
Argentina is credited by some airpiane
experts with having actually proved
it's practicahility, but several French
men, among whom is NJ. L. F'ilippi,
have since constructed helicopters
with as much Success as Pescara.-Ex-
perimental work now is going on near
Paris at an army aviation field.
through which the government hopes.
to perfect the new airplane. As. yet.
the helicoptert is im the same stage
of development as were the first fly,
ing machines constructed by the
Wright brothers. 1919 -fS
AT the Aero club of France. WheT 4,
the helicopter is the dhief topic OF
conversation, experts predict that
within two years the new airplane will
be practical reality. ss.as
Considerable surprise was expressed.
by these same experts that the Unit,
ed States government had apparently
not take up the new machine mass
much as it may materially affect sea
warfare.
The helicopter, described simply.
without attempt at technicalities! -
a machine constructed of a series -
horizonal planes revolving in oppo
directions. On the Pescara machinS
base similar to that of a low slung au \
tomobile is used. On this is built two
series of horizontal planes, each series
composed of ten planes. The usual
airplane motor starts the planes and,
the effect is to make the machine, rise
straight up from the ground.
In the experimental work, small
gas bag has been used for safety pur,
poses but the work is SO far along THAI
these bags are being abandoned.
1t is hoped that the perfected ma
chine, which is expected within twcI
years, will be able to rise from tho
deck of battleship in midocean.
Pescara is conducting experinie nt =
at Barcelona, Spain, where the French
army commission has spent severaS
, weeks in observation. His career has
been romantic. Employed in expert

to Paris soon after the beginning ol
the war and continued his work unde
army supervision. He was credite

Suddenly at the height of Pescara'
success, the French police arrests,
him as spy and he was kept in pris
