Huntington, w. Va, May 10.-The
vogue OF the hot-water bottle as q
conveyer Of illicit liquor, quite ex-
tcnsive in this section for several
weeks past, is waning. The reason
is, according to Police Chief Britton,
that the acid in the crudely-distilled
product distintegrates the rubber,

Omaha to Be Center
in Air Service, Is Plan
tCoatia.ed from rage 0ne.,

(Contiased from Page 0ns.)
from the house postofficc appro-
priation bill but which has been re-
instated by the, senate. It is ex-
pected this will be done.
Rules Are Necessary.
/, Other plans are. on foot to de-
velop this branch of the service.
One OF them is the establishment of
a bureau of aeronautics in the De-
partment of !. Commerce, already
provided for in a. bill now before
congress. 1t will Be the duty of
this bureau to work out rules of fly
ing, rules for the licensing Of pilots,
establishment Of air ways, etc. Only
approximately. two states now have
rules governing the licensing Of
pilots, and it is felt no success can
be attained in aviation until ma
tional law governing this important
phase Of flying has been enacted.
A bill by Representative Steener-
son, chairman of the committee on
postoffices and post roads, provides
that more money may be charged
for aerial transportation of mail
than for railway transportation. At
present the charge must be identi-
cal. which is good for the railroads
but bad for the air service.
A chamber Of commerce Of aero
nautics has been established in
Washington which will be a renewal
OF the activities Of the Aero Club of
America, whose task it will be to
encourage popular interest in avia-
tion.
Will Use Dirigibles.
The government also is planning to
make further experiments with
lighter than air ships. Two ships oi
this kind are now being built for
the government, one at Lakehurst
and another by Germany for this
country on the reparations charge
Roth will be ready within yea,
and will be as large as the Roma, de-
stroyed near Norfolk, and the
ZR-2, destroyed in Britain on its tria
trip. The government is now en-.
larging its supply Of helium, a non.
explosive gas, in order to prevent
explosions in the future. Expert.
ments will be made to make these
ships commercially profitable. Will,
plans are hazy at present, it is ex
pected these ships will be put on tn,
transcontinental route and Oman;
will be on their time table.
Investigations conducted by tn,
Postofhce department in Europ,
show that this country is ahead o
Europe so far as postal transporta
ton is concerned, but is behind il
the transportation OF passengers an,
freight. European governments ar
maintaining passenger and freigh
planes today by means of subsidies
Every country is in the race for tn
development OF this service becaus
Of the important bearing it has o,
national defense. Only by CONNER
cial development, it is believed, car
this country keep pace with war de
velopments in other countries.

Raiding Police Discover
Honor Among BootleggerS

York, Pa, May l0.-Honor among
bootleggers and their customers may
seem impossible, but local officers
say they found evidence Of it in 4
recent raid near here.
The first thing that greeted the Of
ficers when raiding building where
$50 gallons of homemade" was on
tap was small sign reading:
Notice: Put All Money in This
Box"
The door to the building was open,
and no attendants were in sight.
The proprietor evidently depended
on the honesty of his customers,
who helped themselves, to put the
proper amount OF money in the box.

At Newport, KY, jury is so be
wildered by the oratory of lawyers that
1t returns criminal verdict in civil
case. Judge Caldwell gasps and orders
the 40 good men and true" back to
the jury room TO rectify their mistake.
When the average trial is over, few
participants have crystal-elear idea
Of what it was all about. The goal of
most lawyers is to hypnotic the jury
by the mesmeric music of oratory and
by the dramatic staging OF trials. This
is the weakest point of our system of
so-called justice -swaying the jurors
by emotional instead Of intellectual APP

He who follows the dictates OF an
artistic conscience in the quest of
beauty will discover that if he expects
to reach its finest manifestations he
must obey code Of conduct highly
similar to that which another has come
to by seeking spiritual beauty. To
rest the case on physical beauty
alone, anyone knows that physical
beauty cannot survive in career Of
debauchery, and that hate, selfshness,
greed and frivolity cover the face with
ugly handwriting. 1t was sorry day
for the world when 1t fell into sup
posing that there is any fundamental
hostility between beauty and religion.
Properly considered, they are two
words for the same thing.

an age when man meeting up with
an Indian could not remember whether
