New Machine to Fly Over Ocean
in Is Hours

A new type of llgnter-than-alr ar
craft, when, it is GAINED, Will revolt

neiled upward by the unique means
of a vacuum maintained within Its
center, has been invented by an ltal-
ian, Slgnor Naugean, according TO re-
ports to the cloudy air service.
Two concentric hulls will form the
body of the new ship, a partial vacuum
TO be effected in the outer two the
third, inmost, to be made as nearly a
perfect vacuum as is possible, by
pumps. By reduction and equal dis

A prospective speed Of 2l5 miles an
hour would be possible-New York to

equipped with four 80. horsepower en-

Doubts have beer expressed as to
the probable rightly of the airshir

LARGE FAMILIES AND
SMALL FAMILIES

One of the slercoJyped statements
Of the advocates. of small families,
The preachers of race suicide, IS that
the world needs quality rather than
quantity in, the matter OF children;
and that one or two children will be
reared TO become Better men and
women tnan viii ten or twelve IN an
ordinary Christian home. That TINS
latter statement is a gross fdllacy IS
clear from the test OF experience. A
few years ago a writer for the 'Popu-
lar Science Monthly took the trouble
to consult the biographies of seventy
six Of the most eminent men whom
the race has produced He found
that most Of them We're members OF
what would now be called very large
families, having IN the average SIX
brothers and sisters apiece.
About The only instances Of notable
single offspring were T~hackeray, X
l.. Stevenson, John Ruskin and Alex
ander Hamilton. Horace Walpole had
eighteen brothers and sisters; Ber-
jamin Franklin had sixteen; John Mar
shall had fourteen; Peter the Great
had thirteen; and Napoleon Bona
parte had twelve. Samuel Adams.
Sir Walter Scott, James Fenimore
Cooper, and Alfred Tennyson were
members Of families containing twelve
children; Lord Nelson and Washing
ton Irving, Of families of eleven;
Washington, Webster, Chase, Carlyle,
and Henry George, of families Of ten.
Grover Cleveland's father had nine
children; and four of his ancestors
reaching back in a straight line, had
families ranging from ten to thirteen
children. Jefferson and Dickens were
each one of eight children; and Madi-
son, Clay, Tolden, Longfellow, Bryant,
and, Paul Jones each one of seven.
If the advocates of small families
are determined to violate the divine
law, they will have to fabricate a more
plausible argument in their favor than
the fallacy that few children NEAR
better children.

The clegyman's eloquence may have
been at fault, still he felt annoyed to
find that an old gentleman fell asleep
during the sermon On two consecutive
Sundays. So after service on the sec
ond week, he told the boy who accom-
panied the sleeper that he wished to
speak to him in the vestry.
"My boy" said the minister, when
they were closeted together, "who is
that elderly gentleman you attend
church WITH"
Grandpa" was the reply.
"Well," said the clergyman, IF you
will only keep him awake during my
sermon, I'll give you a nickel each

The boy fell in with the arrange
ment, and for the next two weeks the
old gentleman listened attentively to
the sermon The third week, however
found him soundly asleep.

Question

Jackson, May 5J,-A misuuder-
svanuIng Of the amnesty ACT of the
last Legislature extending the time
tor payment Of taxes IN Mississippi,
probably Will dIsQuality several thous-
II voters IN the state TINS year, If
the opinion expressed by Attorney
General Frank Robertson today stands.
The attorney general has received
hundreds OF requests from taxpayers
who want to know whether fauute to
pay pol. taxes on or before Feb. /
bars a citizen from participation in
the primary election this year. Under
the opinion Of Gen. Robertson. made
public today with a letter to j. P. Do
gan, circuit clerk at T|allahatchie
County, it does.
In soA=s sections Of the state the
amnesty act has been mlscorstrued as
meaning that citizens might pay then
taxes at any time prior to Fen. /, as 2
condition precedent to the right o.
suffrage is a constitutional provision
and cannot be changed by act of the
Legislature. The amnesty act, say.
Mr.. Robertson, only postponed the time
for imposition, and collection of dam
ages, and was intended merely as an
accommodation to those citizens whit
felt that they were able to pay take.

The attorney generals reply t,
Clerk DOgan's query is as follows:
The Legislative act postprning tn,

Il am therefore, of the opinion tina
the requirement that the taxes Shout,

the idea of leaving it thought of a
plan to prolong his stay. While his

the clinical thermometer she had plac-

thermometer but never blinked an eye.
She merely murmured. Poor fellow"

Later she came back and announced
that the patient was leaving that day.

Secrecy

Marconi succeeds in talking by wire
less 100 miles with absolute secrecy,
He has some kind of a radio device
that virtually makes it impossible
for anyone to "listen in"
Only a question of time until new
discoveries will give to radio communi-
cation all the privacy of a private
telephone line.
Science is neglecting that side of
wireless at present and concentrating
on broadcasting. 1t is a crafty piece
Of scientific craftsmanship, to make the
radio industry grow like asparagus.
For that purpose the less secrecy
the better.
Secrecy is the extreme opposite Of
advertising.
