Germany at Work.

The apparent economic caIamities
of the war-the cheapness of German
labor, the depreciation in the rates of
German exchange-have become ele-
ments of strength and mastery under
the SHINES leadership. The Germans
can now produce more cheaply and sell
more cheaply than anybody else, we
are told, and even 100 per cent ad
valorem tariff in this country would
not be successful in keeping out Ger
man goods" Add to this that British
business men are dining and wining
and entertaining the Germans and ar
ranging TO finance distributing agen-
cies for German products all over
the world" while "the French, too, are
forming similar trade affiliations in a
smaller way" and the timid will shnd-
der at the thought that Germany is
once more on the road to world DOM
nation. She Is not invading only
France this time. She is marching
under the banner of Hugo SHINES
against every other nation, aided and
abetted by their shortsighted business
men.
We imagine that the great majority
Of Americans will refuse to grow very
much alarmed over this picture of
German industrial and commercial ac-
tivity, true as it is probably is. In the
first place. ii is what we have all been
telling Germany to do, and what we
have been telling each other it is es-.
sential for all of us to do. If she
hadn't done 1T, but had "laid down.
and refused TO work, we would have
considered her dishonest gutter
who was trying TO shirk her debts.
In the second place, the more success
full she is in rebuilding her industries
and commerce, the better it will be
for the rest of us in two ways. IT will
enable her to pay her debts to Great
Britain and France, and thus enable
them in their turn to repay us or to
contribute more effectively their share
in the general work of material re-
placement of the values destroyed by,
the war. And it viii help us by arous.
ing us from our own apathy and stimu-
lating us to initiate her initiative and
resourcefulness.--Ba Sun.

Some day when You turn a good old
eighty you may make such remark
and get away with Il, but not much

to believe he is past his prime when

AIRPLANEs EXCEL BIRDS.
Are Much Faster Than Feathered
Fliers.

Every one surely who has watched
the fight Of the swifter birds has made
his own estimate as to their speed. The
speeds attained by the carrier pigeon,
the duck and the faster Of the sea birds
have formed the subject Of endless
guesswork and inevitable exaggeration.
Birds which are incapable, even when
at full stretch, Of doing more than 40
to so miles an hour, have been credited
with 100 and more.
Now the fact of the matter is. that
nothing is more difficult than to judge
of the speed of any object through the
air by mere human observation. At
present the highest well-authenticated
speed is that of homing pigeons, some
of which have reached speed Of 60
miles an hour over comparatively short
distances.
But now comes Col Meinertzhagen, a
noted ornithologist in Great Britain
with the statement that during his an
ti-aircraft duties in the war he trained
his men in instrumental work by max
ing them take observations Of the
flight of birds. These he collected and
then confirmed their results by instiu-
mental work himself. He tells US that
the speed of birds, as thus accurately
ascertained, is far below what il is
popularity believed to be, carrying from
20 to 40 miles for the smaller passeres
to from 40 10 80 miles an hour in the
case OF waders. Those speeds represent
steady fight, but when bird is fright
ened by an enemy, or when it is
bouncing upon it's prey. it can acceler-
ate greatly for a limited time. he esti-
mates that for a short distance the
swift can reach speed of 100 miles an
hour
The airplane, therefore, has greatly
surpassed the swiftness OF the birds
both in its power and sustained speed
and in its maximum speed. From 100 to
100 miles an hour can be maintained
BY many Of the standard machines.
and we know that last year the rae
ing speed was carried up to from $50
to 100 miles per hour, while recent
models are credited to be even faster.
Where the birds still greatly surpass
the human flying machines is in the
matter Of taking off and alighting. The
seabirds, and all birds, in fact, by
changing the angle of Incidence of their
wings, are able to reduce their landing
speed at a rate which the airplane and
the seaplane cannot at present APP
proach. Scientific American.

j|TNEY LAW DECREE,
 WILL BE APPEALED
Both Sides Dissatisfied With Ruling of Judge Locke
 on Ordinance

Both the jitney drivers and the city will appeal from the decision of Judge Hugh A. Locke rendered Fri day in the chancery court on the pe- tition of J J. Giglio asking for an injunction restraining the recent jit- ney ordinance passed by the city com mission.
 Judge Locke's decree upheld the or dinance in all except two minor clauses, the one giving the commits sion the right to revoke a jitney H. cense at will and the other making if unlawful for the jitney driver to use his car on the streets for any other purpose whatever except as jitney. The first, the decree exploins, is unconstitutional in mat 1t does not specify that the grounds for revoking the license must be reasonable, and the second is said to be unreasonable in that it does not allow the 1itney driver the privilege of the streets when he is using his car as private automobile.
 The jitney drivers, 1t Is understood, are dissatisfied with the decree in ~that it does not allow them to use their cars as taxicabs, which they had hoped it would do. The city objects to the striking out of the two clauses mentioned above.
 The decree of Judge Locke allows both sides twenty days to make an swer or to appeal. Harris Burns rep resented Giglio in the suit for an in- junction, and will probably make the appeal. Walter Brewer, assistant city attorney, fought the Injunction in the lower court and will appeal the decision to the higher court.

LOCAL OIL COMPANY
 GIVEN DECISION ON
 0vERCHARGE ON OIL

The interstate commerce commis- sion has rendafed decision award ing the Wofford Oil company $5o3 and interest for two years on an over- charge on oil shipped from the Free port and Bryanmound, Tex. fields to Birmingham.
 The Wofford interests were repre- scented by the traffic bureau. of which it is member: o. |. Bunn. manager of the bureau. appearing as attorney and arguing the case~
 It was shown that the Wofford company had paid freight rate of 65 cents a gallon, while the rate from other oil fields at relatively the same distance ran from 49 tof52 cents. The interstate commerce Commission de- cided that 54.5 cents washa fair rate from Freeport and Bryanmound, and has ordered the difference between that and 65 cents 2 gallon refunded to the Wofford company.
 The traffic bureau conducts cases like this free of chargs to the mem- bers, the only charge being that of their aD&S 1srahership dues.
