CONSIDER USE OF AIRSHIPS
ployment In Making Aerial Oh
servations Of the Himalayas-

Consideration has been given to tho
possibility Of aerial observations In
the H%lmalayas. The range, 1t appears
has only six peaks above $1,000 feet
high. and an aviator flying ut about
$4,000 or $4,000 feet should have no
difficulty in crossing if the highest
peaks were avoided, while, IL he chose
certain of the gorges, an altitude OK
some 1900 feet would suffice. The
greatest Of the many obstacles to bo
encountered Is the mountain sickness,
which occurs In the highest attitudes
through deficiency Of oxygen. The grad
ual climber, going afoot, Is less handi-
capped In this respect than the avi-
ator rising suddenly from sea level In
his machine; on the other hand. the
pedestrian has more fatigue to under
go, and this practically equalizes mat
tiers. The chief consideration In any
case Is al adequate supply Of OXYGEN
with a proper inhaler.

Passnorts a Nuisance.

Up to the time CT the beginning Of
the war the passport regulations were
very simple and the fees inexpensive.
but when the great contest broke loose
1t was necessary to make 1t moro
difficult and unfortunately the rigid
regulations Of the war times have
never been changed. The fee for issu-
ing and vlseing was 81. but II was
increased to $40 by the United States.
At once the nations Of Europe made
their charges accordingly SO that In
order to visit n few countries the
matter Of securing a passport was .
serious n The matter remained In
this shape although there was con-
siderable grumbling by those who were
compelled TO submit, not only against
the charges but the amount Of red
tape which was necessary In order
to get q passport.

 DEBATES IN RACE
 FOR GOvERNORSHIP
Brandon Declines Invitation of Graves For Joint Discus SionS-SayS No Issues
 Between Democrats
By FRED II. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau. The Age Herald, 22t-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery April Especial )- The contest between Judge W. W Brandon and Col. Bibb Graves for governor will not include joint de- bates. Colonel Graves Saturday an- nounced that he issued challenge to Judge Brandon for series of joint debates after the entries closed April 1 and that Judge Brandon had de- clined on the ground that there were no issues between democrats and joint debates would tend to disturb the harmony in the party.
 Colonel Graves replied that he re- gretted Judge Brandon would not join in debates and that he believed there were issues between them which should be carried to the voters. In his reply to Colonel Graves formal request for a series of joint debates Judge Brandon said he had always sought to maintain harmony in the party and had started his campaign for governor with the determination to dolnothing which would cause any political strife among those who claimed the same political faith. He insisted that there were no issues which called for joint debates and that there would be nothing for dis cussion except the personal claims of the two candidates for the support of the democratic voters In the primary.
 In his reply Colonel Graves, after insisting that there were issues, said he intended to bring them to the at tention of the voters in the addresses which he would make during the campaign.

Wayne B.

 That letter follows in part; "0u Wednesday the bill to deport aliens who have violated the liquor laws will doubtless be reached for con sideration. It will help law enforce ment to provide for the deportation of such aliens There are approx imately S.0o0,000 aliens in the United States.
 Tt has been suggested that an amendment be added to take away the citizenship of Americans who lse neighboring territory as a base for the violation of the laws of the United States, Unless there is some objection to the amendment its adop- ton would help to discourage this indetensible practice"
