MALTA

1t must have been with a strange
mixture OF feelings that the sultan
of Turkey landed on the Island OF
Malta, where he found it necessary
TO take refuge when he abandoned
Constantinope.
In 1865 Malta was the scene OF a
fierce struggle between the Turk
and the Christian. The Knights OF
St. John, who had taken over the
island under Grand Master La Val
leste successfully withs,ood the
seige of the Turks.
Malta remained under the con.
troll OF the Knights until they were
expelled by Napoleon in l79S.

DEMONS SPEED

An airplane with a speed OF 500
miles an hour will be developed
within comparatively short
time so predicts Brig. Gen. Will
liam Mitchell, assistant chief OF the
army air service.
Then, says Mitchell, a business
man will be able to leave New
York City early in the morning, fly
to England, have lunch, transact.
business, and return home before
dark.
If so, what would happen TO pro-
hibition? A picture rises, OF q
rum-hound flying over to London
for spree, back the same day.
In flying at terrific speed, such
as 500 miles an hour, the chief
problem would be supplying air to
passengers and crew.
Mitchell tells OF experiments, be-
ing conducted by the army, using
oxygen tanks to furnish air for
the people in an air-tight cabin OF
the flying craft.
Fast planes in another generation
or two will be as common as autos
are today. Devices such as oxygen
machines will be needed then. And
they will be monopolized by pat.
ents.
About 20 years ago writer in
the old Argosy magazine wrote d
story, "A Round Trip to the Year
2000," in which he pictured earth's
inhabitants going about with me
ters attached to their noses. A
trust had monopolized the air and
was making people pay for the
privilege of breathing. Maybe this
writer was more OF prophet than
a "romancer."
Interesting problemts will rise
when airplanes making 500 or 1000
miles an hour, or more, come into
general use.
The frontiers of countries then
will virtually disappear. The flying
machine conquering time and geog-
raphy, will literally place the far
corners of the earth at Mr.. Aver
age Mans door.
Prohibition or most other at
tempts to regulate individuals con-
duct will be futile then, unless the
laws apply all over the world. What

4,ooO COMMUTERS DELAYED
Hammer on Track Said to Have De. railed a Locomotive.

Eackensack, N. J., Aug. 1o.-About 4,0o0 commuters travelling over the New Jersey and New York railroad from points as far north as Spring Valley and Haverstraw were delayed from one to two hours yesterday morning by the derailment of the locomotive of tencar train one mile south of Hackensack. The locomo- tive left the track at switch at the junction of the New Jersey and New
 York and Susquehanna railroads.
 The engine was moving so slowly that 1t was stopped on the roadbed, without derailing any of the coaches. While the derailed locomotive was being pulled back upon the tracks, five other trains were blocked in its rear. They were backed up and , transferred to the tracks of the Sus- quehanna, A report that "a sledge hammer was found on the tracks near the switch gained currency among the comm uters. Officials of the New Jersey and New York rail- road started an investigation to find out the cause of the accident.
