Inventions increase safety.

Many war discoveries aid In increas-
Ing the safety Of airship travel. The
wireless direction finder makes 1t pos
sible for the ship to find her location
ar all times and so navigate success
fully In fogs. The increasing range
and sources Of information Of the
meteorological service aids In giving
weather forecasts that will warn air
craft Of approaching storms, which can
be avoided by change Of course.
Laboratory investigations are now
being made Of the nature of the parti-
cles Of moisture that forms fogs, and
1t Is hoped that some way will be
found of dispensing fog, so that local
clear area may be maintained about
the landing places. All landing places
are marked with brilliant electric bea-
cons and lighthouses are being erected
to guide night flying ships along aerial
routes.
Airships are even now safe form
of travel. When rain. high winds or
electric storms approach they can seek
the higher air levels and so avoid dan
reduced to minimum, and the dan
ger of engine trouble, ever present In
the airplane, is nullified by the fact
that repairs always can be made with
our descending. Rigid airships never
have less than four engines, and 1t is
Improbable that all engines will break
down at one time. Even If half the
engines broke down the ship could
travel at four-fifths of her normal
speed.
Public Demands Speed.
The airship has the advantage over
a passenger craft. The airplane can
only. travel 300 miles without stopping
at base for fuel and is thus imprac.
ticable for long distance routes. 1t is,
furthermore, Of limited carrying ca.
pGcity. and the disagreeable features
of noise and vibration cannot be done
away with. The great rigid, moving
steadily day and might and hav.
ing a cruising radius of 1000 to
1900 miles, makes far better passen-
ger ship. 1t has been suggested that
airplane routes could be used as feed
ers to the airship lines. small airplanes

whence they could embark on the air.

mental lines.
When the lines are established the
steamships also will find them serious
competitors. The airship is infinitely
quicker and does not have the pitch
and toss that makes steamer travel
unpleasant. The demand for great

transatlantic travel shows that there
is large class of travellers who want

The shipment of valuables, bonds,
stocks and bullion on the speedy air

Bright Lights
Chief Worry Of
Traffic Squad

One OF the most difficult prob
lens with which the Oregon traf-
fic law enforcement squad has to
deal is that of glaring headlights.
according to Secretary of State
Kozer who by virtue of his office
is commander in chief Of the traf-
fic squad.
A"The Oregon law requires that
each motor vehicle shall nave
front lights capable Of furnish
ing sufficient illumination to
render clearly discernable on the
level highway any substantial OBJ
iect 200 feet directly ahead and
that the lights of all vehicles
shall be so arranged, adjusted
and operated SO as to avoid dam
gerous glare and dazzle" Kozer
points out.
Lighting engineers are con-
vinced that the lights OF motor
vehicles may be SO adjusted as
not to project their rays into the
ewes Of operators of approaching
vehicles. This can be done by con-
trolling the rays and~not permit
ting them to project above a
certain height at a given distance
in front of the vehicle"

Agitators TO Blame

Reduced to concrete figures,
Hickman, showed, the threats of
wholesale telephone disconnections
resulting from the rate increase
had simmered down to total Of
807 disconnections directly trace

of these have since resumed serv-
ice and the entire losses would
have been more than made up had

mitted of the filling of all applica-

man insisted.

showed that in the five-month per-

dered out because the subscriber
could no longer afford the service,
3S9 were due to the curtailment Of
business and the remainder were
assignable to numerous other
causes including removal Of the
subscriber, failure to pay rent, ETC.
The percentage Of former tele-
phone subscribers who would con-
tinue to do without telephone
service because Of the increased
rates, was negligible in the opin
ion of Hickman.
The hotel men have no cause to
kick over their rates, according TO
Hickman, who declared that the
''hotel rates even since the in
crease are not as high as they

Extension
OF Capital
Demanded
Commercial Club Com
mittee Reports; Coun-
Gil May Be Asked to
Amend Charter

Steps toward the extension ol
Capitol street SO that It viii be q
direct route to the state fair
grounds will be taken by COM
mittee appointed at the open for
um meeting Of the Commercial
club last night.
The committee composed OF r.
Al. Erixon, w. II. Wilson, ]. X.
Payne and August Huckestein VIII
meet with the property owners on
Capitol street tonight at the Com
mercial club to plan action and
perhaps will ask the city council
10 call special meeting TO amend
the city charter so that the matter
can be handled satisfactorily.
The matter was brought before
the meeting last night by report
being read from former commit
tee composed OF F. w. Steusloff,
Erixon and Wilson to investigate
the extension.
The report stated that the
largest property owner at the
present end Of Capitol street
was e. C. Roberts Of Round
up, Montana, who was willing
to deed right OF way through
his property II the city will take
care Of the paving. A. Il Hunt
also property owner, made the
same proposition.
Joseph Wirth, another property
owner, would be considered dam
aged by the extension, but offered
to take $500 and move his house.
1t was suggested later, that a
slight swerve In the street would
avoid the Wirth residence, and do
away with the necessity Of paying
the money and would be agreeable
to Wirth.
The estimated cost of the inn
proyement, II the first plan is
adopted is $4,000, according to
the report OF the committee.
The paving ON the street as It
now lays begins today, aud a spe-
cial amendment TO the city char
ter will have TO be made to guar
ante the donating property owners
against assessments for the work.
In his talk urging that the club
take action, Mr.. Erlxon charac-
terized the northern entrance TO
the city as disgraceful and action
must be taken at once.
7. Il. McCroskey, secretary Of
the club. reported that 80 active
and three associate members had
been added to the membership rolls
OF tn club during the month. The
new membership committee for the
next month as announced last
