LONDON HAS VISIONS OF
 AIR RAIDS
Appeal to Parliament for Aid Against Protection
 for Future.

LONDON, Aug 4.-Premer Lloyd George announced in the House of Commons today that the British gov ernment has decided to adopt the recommendation of the Air Ministry to provide 500 aeropianes for home defense at a cost of 10000 pounds.
 LONDON, Aug. 4-London is still thinking of what might happen to it in case enemy airships again ever flew over the city. and the picture is not a pleasant one. The execu- tive committee of the Parliamentary Air Committee has sent a letter to the Prime Minister in which, after referring to what was accomplished by air fighters in the European war, it proceeds to draw an appalling picture of the next air war The letter says:
 "The bombs dropped on London during the last war averaged less than 100 pounds in weight. Bombs or torpedoes are now carried of 4,000 pounds weight, containing mass of high explosives The effect of a dozen bombs of this character dropped on London can readily be conceived. There is not merely a possibility but great probability that in the event of war. this country would be raided and London and other towns destroyed by squadrons or even fleets of airplanes, travelling at 150 miles an hour at height of 10000 feet. silent as to their engines and certainly by night invisible"
 The committee prophecies that all great wars in future will begin with terrific battles in the air. and says that if the country suffers real de feat in this first battle. the victor will in a few days destroy her ports. her railways. her munition factories and her capital by intensive bonn bardment from the air. It considers that at present England is not in a position successfully to combat an air attack and that the government shonld appoint 8 strong commission 70 investigate.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Dr. Anna Hochfeider, Democratic candidate for State Senator, believes brides should be healthy, wealthy and wise In fact, that is her platform.

 1. That prospective brides produce health certificates.
 2 That they be wealthy to the ex tent that they are economically in dependent and thoroughly capable ot supporting themselves.
 3. That they be wise so far as sex problems are concerned.
 She not only believes this platform will promote the welfare of the state. but feels sure it will attract the votes of men.
 q believe the marriage law needs amendment in many important par ticulars,' she said. "I believe that young women. and men. too, entering into the sacred obligation of mar riage. should have certain fundamen tai and important information and that provision should be made for sex education.
 'This would prevent fully three fourths of the divorces.
 Before license is issued a young woman should be required to present evidence that she is skilled in some occupation whereby she will be able to provide for herself in an emer gencv.
 "I believe both applicants shoul8 certify that they are free from me1i cal disorders, are not morons or Predetermined and are free from con tagious or hereditary disease.

Takes Dive to Mermaid Land; Sees and Returns
Special Correspondence.)

KAKE. Aug 1-Jack Barney came in from Pybus the other day in his small motor boat. He had his wife and son along. The day was warm, the water calm and the boat logged across by easy stages.
 Coming in around the reefs of Rake. Barney stopped his engine, went on deck and stood ready to cast anchor when in the right depth of water.
 The ship had about lost headway in dozen feet and the skipper picked up his mudhook and gave it a toss overside.
 Just as he let. go of this ground tackle he felt tug. and before he realized what was up, he was go ing down. (. ff
 When the anchor reached bottom Barney was with it. He still had the stock of it in his coat pocket.
 Barney paid no attention to the mermaids playing hide-and-seek in the kelp fronds, nor was he very much interesting in their greeting song: Here are the bones of Davy Jones'"
 What seemed a long time to his mortified family on deck, were two ages and a century to Barney.
 But he finally freed himself when the last bubble of air left him and he came hand-over-hand up the anchor line to the surface.
 "I went down to see that every. things all right below he gasped.
 "It seems to be that way. Guess I'll come aboard now"
 Barney was none the worse for his dive
