its correctness. Suppose the Ameri-

HANGMAN OBJECTS TO sLuRs
Declares He is a Perfect Gentleman
and That His Calling Is Honor
able and Useful.

Budapest.-The hangman of Hun
gary has risen to indignant defense OF
his calling and denounced those who
cast slurs upon it. He was prompted
by sneering references made in the
Hungarian national assembly. Friends
of former Emperor Charles and the
anti-Hapsburgs are always quarreling
there, and in some cases have shouted
at one another, "The hangman is your
friend"
Michael Ball, the official hangman,
has resented such slurs.
"My vocation" he writes to the
president of the national assembly, 'is
as honorable and useful as that of
judges, lawyers, ministers or kings.
Why should the old superstition hold
in modern times that the hangman's
profession Is disgraceful, abominable
and loathsome? My friends are all

out more than half a hundredweight

automatic fertilization Is worth an
additional $3.50 an acre to the farmer
at present prices, and would have cost
him $40 an acre at war prices.
From this it will be seen that the
$12 to $25 an acre that it costs the

Kite Balloon. for Commercial, Use

Kite Balloons for Commercial Use.
Although there are undoubtedly i'm.
pOrtants uses to which kite balloons
can be put, some very impractical
suggestions have recently been made
by enthusiasts for this particular
craft regarding its commercial use.
The value Of the kite balloon in con.
nection with meteorological observa-
lions is undisputed, and, under certain
conditions, as landmarks on air routes
kite balloons may be of the greatest
assistance, but the suggestion that
they should be towed from trawlers
to "spot" shoals Of fish is not quite so
acceptable, we are reminded by Aero
nautics. The small airship probably
has greater possibilities in this direc-
ton than the towed captive balloon,
but the present cost Of an airshiIo
makes its use imprac ticabie, nor is the
speed of small airship sufficient to
insure more than occasional USE An
other suggestion which has been put
forward is that firms should use kite
balloons for displaying advertise.
