MAN FEARS HE WILL
LOSE GOLDEN RIBS
All But One Made of Gold and Platinum
SO Valuable Robbery Is
Feared

BERLIN. Aug. 2s. - young man
with ribs of gold and platinum is work
ing in a cigarette factory at Breslau.
When he was a locksmith's apprentice,
several years ago. he fell from the roof
Of a house and was badly injured. He
was taken to a hospital where the doc
tors found that his skull was fractured
and an his ribs but one were broken
The youth was in the hospital for no
less than four and half years, and
finally the surgeons undertook to repair
or replace his shattered ribs.
A metal plate was inserted in his
skull and the fractured bones were re-
placed by ribs of gold and platinum
Two and a half wears later the man was
able to leave the hospital, and since
then he has been working in cigarette
factory. In view of the present value
Of gold and platinum. it is evident that
he is carrying about in his body quite a
considerable amount of wealth, and II
is stated that special measures are be-
inc taken to protect him against
criminals.

Unusual Structure.

ROCHESTER,, \. Y, Aug. 2S.-The
Eastman theatre, George Eastman's So
100000 gift to the University of Roch-
ester as an integral part of the Eastman
School of Music. will be opened early in
September The playhouse was con-
ceived by Mr.. Eastman as means to
educate the masses in the love of music.
He purposes to draw them to good con
certS by the use of motion pictures.
The theatre has been described as one
of the most unusual structures in the
world 1t contains every kind of must
cal instrument including the largest or
gan in any playhouse in the world ii
is wonderfully well ventilated and
lighted and ii is adorned with paintings
worth several hundred thousand dollars.
1t seats 3,400 people.
The idea was conceived by Mr.. East
man from altruistic motives. There will
be sought a solution to the problems con-
fronting the purveyors of lOw-priced en-
tertainment, so that the character of the
entertainment offered the masses may be
improved, refined, and undergo an eyo-
luton that win establish good music as
an everyday need.
Entrance to the theatre is by way OF
a commodiOus lobby finished in rich mar

Harding Approves Plan OF Postmaster
General Would Save Govern
ment Many Millions.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Govern-
ment ownership of nOstoffice buildings in
every city and town in the United States,
where none now is owned, has been pro-
posed to congress by Postmaster General
Work with the approval of President
Harding
The Presidents approval, administra-
ton officials said. was based upon reports
showing that the plan, once put into
effect, would mean a saving to the gov
eminent of approximately SJOO,OOO,OOo
within the next 10 years.
Administration leaders in congress, re-
garding the undertaking as an important
business reform, and designed TO check
''profiteering in rentals" were prepared,
it was said to urge immediate enactment
of legislation providing for nationwide
postal building program.
There are at present, according to re-
ports submitted by the postmaster gem
eral to senate and house committees.
1886 postofficeS in leased quarters and
only about 200 in buildings owned by
the government. Earnings of the depart
ment during the last 10 years have more
than doubled, officials said, with a result
that more buildings and space are re-
quired to keep pace with the constantly
growing business.
mo single piece of legislation that
could be enacted by congress would have
a more far-reaching effect upon the bust
ness life of various communities" Post
master General Work said.
Taxpayers should be relieved in every
manner consistent with good business
policies and in fact it is time that the
people be given a square deal for their
support of the government and it's insti-
tutions. In the case of government own
ership of postal buildings. / am confident
there are ample sites and abundant build
ings which could be acquired at reason
able prices and they could be erected and
equipped with material purchased in the
cities and towns in which the government
would purchase property"

FLYING AMBULANCE
FOR ISOLATED HOMES
Australian Aero Club Proposes Scheme
TO Care for "0utbaek Settlers"
by Airplane.

SYDNEY, y. S, w, Aug 2S.-One of
the many hardships that beset .'outback
settlers" in Australia-the inability of
persons to obtain prompt and effective
medical care-would be eliminated by
carrying out a proposal by the Queens
land Branch of the Aero club to estab-
fish a flyng ambulance for the remote
western part of that state.
The efforts of persons who work in the
interests of the isolated settlers are
hampered greatly by bad roads and IN
some districts bY the absence of roads.
An aerial ambulance would overcome
this obstacle Atmospheric conditions are
said to be favorable and it is planned to
make Charleville, the terminus of the
western railway, the center of the serial
ambulance territory Most of the sta
tions beyond Charleville are linked with
the telephone system. 1t has been sug-
gested that every landholder in the area
prepare. a landing field. The estimated
cost of the plan is 5000 pounds an
nually The Automobile club and the
Ambulance Transport Brigade are CO.
operating with the Aero club in the
plan.

BRITISH LABOR HAS
= WOMAN CANDIDATE
Miss PietOn-Turbervill Running for Seat
In Parliament Noted Social
Worker and Writer.

LONDON, Aug. 2s.-That the political
party which above all parties stands for
the hard-fsted sons of toll should put
forward as one of its parliamentary can
didptes member of the social-eleet
and a woman at that, may be regarded
as one of the significant signs of the
times. Tt is not because of any dearth
of good parliamentary material among
its own ranks and file that the Labor
party has adopted Miss Edith Pieton-
Turbervill as its candidate for North
Islington at the next general election
Miss Pieton-T urbervill is the daughter
of Colonel Picton Turbervill of Evenly
PrioTy, Glamorganshire. Among the
many claims of long descent, there are
few amono the British aristoeraey who
can trace their lineage so far back as
can Miss Picten-T urbervill and find
such notable beginning of it. One of
her ancestors was Sir Richard I1irher-
will, one of the u knights of William

Miss Picton-Turbervill is the author
of Christ and International Life to
which Lord Robert Cecil contributed a
preface. Her social work abroad has
given her an international reputation.
She spent some years in India on behalf
of the Young Women's Christian associa-
ton, and travelled for it in America and
other countries
In stating her reasons for allying her
self with the Labor party, Miss Picton-
Turbervill said:
The party has a definite practical
program. It's policy is founded on
Christian principles 1t has been the
chief champion of woman's entry into
politics.

ed a much shorter time than Harth
eventually was able to accomplish.
Later on another German kept a
powerless plane in the air about Is
minutes.
The great accomplishment made by
Harth, though, was not so much the
time record he made and the actual
ascent into the air without power, as
the fact that the plane from start to
finish of the flight, "lost altitude or
came down, at the rate of only about
two feet a minute.
The machine used by Harth did not
have rudder to guide it. This had
been dispensed with, and movable
wing tips used. Without any effort
on the part of teh aviator, the Harth
machine heads into the wind when it
changes direction. On the day when
his great record was made, the wind
changing direction often. The ma
chine headed into the wind whenever
such change came. So slight was
the inclination of the ground that OBJ
servers of the flight asserted that
upward currents of wind had little tC
do with the climbing of the machine
Little Power Needed
About 20-mile wind was blowing
when this noteworthy feat was per
formed Aeronautical experts say
that very little power for artificial
propulsion would be needed in a light
plane built along the lines of soaring
bird to give the same lift as that &C
quired from a moderate wind.

elders is little. By this term is mean
| the weight sustained by each square
foot of wing area when the machine /.

wing areas ranging from 100 to III
square feet. Assuming that the avel
age flyer weighs 165 pounds, the win
loading varies from about two pound
per square foot to one pound. TIL
Harth machine weighs about an eve
hundred pounds, probably the lightes
of the gliders. Having a wing are
of 165 square feet, the wing loadin
is just about IL pounds per squar
foot when 165 pound man is bein
, carried.
Naturally. the development of til
? glider is as much in it's infancy {

a landing place somewhere on the
plain below. This sort of thigh would
be and is relatively easy of accom-
plishment. The ambitious goal of the
experimenters in this line is ma
chine without power which will rise
of its own volition, utilizing air cur
rents for the purpose, and fly about
here and there without artificial
means of propulsion, such as the pro-
peller used by all airplanes.
The best record thus far obtained in
this respect is credited to German
experimenter, a man named Harth.
This man, according to accredited re
cords, made his machine rise from a
standstill without assistance, and
eventually gained an altitude of about
200 feet above the starting point,
keeping the machine in the air for
21b minutes. When he did land, it
was at point only 35 or 40 feet below
his starting point, and that after being
In the air for more than third of an
hour
Too much should not be expected
| from the perfection of the Glider in
the way of actual long flights without
any power whatsoever. Harth re
quired wind of about 20 miles an
hour to make his remarkable record
| Obviously it is impossible to get any
| thing like lift" from the air when
| there is a dead calm.
The big development which would
| seem to be possible in the near flu
ture, judging from the German expert
ments, is the aerial "fliver"-a small
safe plane, extremely low-powered
which the average man could AFFORD
and operate. On many occasions, sucf
a machine could be operated withou
! the use of power, when at sufficien
attitudes to take advantage of tn,
winds which are encountered NOR
frequently high in the air Also,
sufficiently skillful operator of sucl
an aerial flivver could use it as
glider nearer to the ground when cor
ditions made it possible
Winds Blowing Upwards
Winds blowing in general upwar
direction are recorded with more fir,
quently than is ordinarily believed

controlled flight in a power propelled
airplane was successful, the machine
being piloted by the American pioneer
flyer, Wilbur Wright, at Kitty Hawk,
North Carolina. In the years between
heavier than air machines have been
perfected in many details and huge
planes able to carry bombs weigh
ing thousands of pounds have been
constructed and their worthiness prov
ed. But development of the so-called
glider has Jagged in America in
comparison with our late enemy, Ger
many.
Study of big soaring birds, notably
the albatross, has led to the accom-
plishment of remarkable results, al
though it cannot be said for fact that
the powerless airplane is perfected as
yet by any means. 1t is fact that
certain of the birds can remain for
hours in the air without an apparent
| expenditure of energy in the way of
flapping their wings. Gulls following
ship seem to hang stationary behind
| it, travelling forward at the limited
speed of the vessel The larger sea-
birds, it is claimed, have been observ-
ed for as long as daylight lasts, keep
| ing the air and cruising here and there
| without once moving the wings in the
| motion known as Tapping.
Soaring Birds as Models.
In the studies of the birds as a
model for "gliders", it was noted that
the birds best capable of this sustain
ed flight without effort have wings
extending considerable distance out
from the sides of the bird, and tend
ing to be narrow rather than broad
wings. This idea has been followed
in making gliders.
! By glider is not meant a machine
that will merely coast down the wind,
gathering speed from loss of altitude.
Such a machine would be useful only
if started from the tap of hill, with

Girls Wear Bodied Hair,

BERKELEY, Calf, April 1S.-Bob-
bed hair and earpuffs were fashionable
$500 years ago, according to the re-
suits of an investigation conducted
here by students of the University
Of California, who recently produced

Several of the girls had demurred at
taking part because they feared their
bobbed locks would not look suffi-

power driven airplanes were in the
days of the first machine. which was
pushed from the rear by propellels.
Nineteen years have witnessed amaz-
ing development since the pioneering
done by the Wright brothers in the
face of public ridicule. The next de.
cade may witness the merging of the
glider into the low-powered, low-priced
flying machine within the reach of the
ordinary pocketbook.: 1t would not be
fast, but would have compromising ad
vantages of ascending into the aiE> al
very low speed and the ability to land
almost anywhere at about the same
velocity, instead of requiring regular
flying fields for both starting and end
ing flights.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-After
successful flights across the Atlantic
one of them in single leap-and
the exploits of aircraft during the late
war, it might be supposed that the
conquest of the air had been accom-
plished, and that aviators are bird
men" in fact.
But the thing toward which students
of flying are turning their attention
now is the possibility of sustained
fight without power - the kind OF
flight possible for an albatross, an
eagle, or sea gull. These birds and
many others are capable of keeping
themselves in the air, and of actually
climbing higher and higher, without
anysapparent effort other than holding
their wings extended.
The pursuit of this development is
arousing more interest abroad than ii
is in America, the German flyers be-
ingparticularly active in working to
accomplish this end. 1t is now a little
