London, Aug. .24.-Trips to India
by air in three days, at a cost of
$500 first class and SITS second
class, may soon be offered British
travellers. A Number of large tech
nical corporations have made a pro-
posal to the government to run a
mail and passenger service from
London to Bombay. The airships
would have a capacity of 5000, 900
cubic feet and would be capable of
flying at 80 miles and hour with 2Oo
passengers. M
The proposal has been put forward
in order to develop the communica-
items of the British Empire in speed
and cheapness, and thereby assist the
development Of fytrade. No promotion
profits would be taken by any party,
and all the promoters ask is sub
sidy from the government sufficient
to pay the pubic investor a dividend
of four and one-half percent.

Dark Hour

You have read of the Dark Ages,
of the dark periods in history; you
have heard of the dark days of va
rious panics, of "Black Friday" and
of many other dark times and things
but did you ever experience that
lark hour before day when that old
tooth, that had before given forth low
rumblings, suddenly broke loose in a
fiery eruption of pain and caused
you to sit up and take notice, regard
less? If you have, you probably
said "Never Again."
Timely dental attention eliminates
this Dark Hour"

Klan Biz ls.sue

Texas politics until after the final
elections in November. 1t has be.

The Republicans, for the first time
in number Of years have full state

nomination on the Democratic ticket
has been considered equal to election

There are few members of the Re.

declare they expect success of their

Progress and Prosperity
Are the Portions of
Czechoslovakia

Prague, Czechoslovakia,. Aug. a.
Although the Czechosloyakian Re-.
public is only three and half years
old, it is the one state in Europe
which has set it's house in order and
has avoided the evils of the printing
press. The Czechs or Bohemians are
a hard-working and plucky race, full
OF common sense, and they have
built up an economic and industrial
fabric which has made the country
one of the most prosperous in Cen
tral Europe. Its industry today is
beyond the needs of its own popula-
ton. The Czech crown, which until
last autumn had followed the fiac-
tuations of the German mark, has
now established its independence in
the worlds exchanges.
Since the creation of the republic
the bulk of trade has been with Ger
many, although the United States is
gaining an increased share of it. Ac-
cording to official figures, ATT per-
cent Of Czech imports in 1921 came
from Germany, the latter countryt
taking 36.2 percent of Czech exports.
Every Czech realizes that the future
of the country's trade is in Central
Europe, but he is anxious to avoid
as far as possible any economic de-
pendence on Germany.
Like many other European coun-
frsa iatc -
problems concern the much-need
ed reduction in production costs, the
cost of living, the reduction of taxa
ton, and amelioration of the housing
situation. At present Prague is one
of the most expensive cities in Eu-
| rope. One of the causes is the tre-
mendous national budget, which is
swollen by heavy military expenses.
Compared with Vienna and Buda-
pest Prague presents an appearance
of prosperity and alertness. There
is not that sense of despair, uncer-
tainty and indecision which the Am
erican traveller meets in Vienna.
While other European capitals suf.
fered by the Great War, Prague was
hardly affected until the revolution
of 1918, when she awoke suddenly
to find herself one of the great cap
itals of Europe.
Czechoslovakia's political system
is based upon the strictest demo.
cratic principles, her policy being ore
of innovation and evolution along re-
publican lines. Bolshevism has been.
crushed. Drastic land reforms have
been made, to appease the appetite
of the masses. No one is allowed to
hold more than $50 hectares of arabic
land OF 500 hectares of forest land.
Owing to increased wages, the work.
ing classes live in comfortable con-
tent. There is little unemployment.
AS in most other European cities,
the housing problem in Prague is
acute. Any owner of a fat or house
is liable to have his quarters COM
mandsered by the. State. In spite Of
the governments endeavors to en-
courage the erection of new build
ings, the building trade has remained
virtually suspended. Many of the
poorer nobility have migrated to
Vienna, Munich, Berlin, Poland or
Hungary, in order to benefit by the
rate Of exchange. Others occupy
small corners of the vast palaces
which have been in the possession of
their families for centuries.

Russian Leaders Confident In
Country's Economic Future

Moscow, Aug. 24.-Soviet Russian
leaders are advancing reasons, easily
understandable within Russia hut
probably difficult of comprehension
abroad, as to why they believe Russia.
after the coming harvest, can get
along and show economic improve
ment without the aid of foreign gov
ernments.
They make no secret that indus
trially the country can show very tit
tie life without huge foreign credits,
but they say that Russia is primarily
an agricultural country, and that the
requirements of the Russian peasant
are probably smaller than those OF
any other people except the Chiness
or Hindus. The peasants comprise
at least 70 percent of the country's
population.
An American, accustomed to the
standard of living in the United
States, might consider it terrible
condition were someone to tell him
that 50,O0O,000 Russian people had
no shoes. The Russian, familiar with
his own country, would shrug his
shoulders and say: What Of it,"
He would remark that at least 50,-
100000 Russians never had shoes and
probably would not know what to
do with them if they did. The peas
ants go barefoot in summer, use home
made straw sandals in the autumn,
and felt boots of village manufacture
in the winter.
1t is similar with most articles of
wear and household use which Am
erican civilization considers essential
to comfort. If the Russian peasant
has plenty to eat--and above all
things he prefers black bread-and ii
he has few rags to cover him ami
hut to shelter him, he is as well off
as he was before the war.
1t was only in late years under the
monarchy that the growth Of manu-
featuring within Russia was seriously
encouraged. The Soviet regime,
whose supporters were mostly among
the factory workers in the cities, has
desired to increase industry probably
even more than the old regime, but
due to civil war and destruction, in
dustry is now in worse state than
ever before. If foreign capital comes
in to any great extent the govern
ment expects to recreate industry,
but lacking this, it considers that
Russia can get along as an agricul-
tural country until such time as
either from within itself, or with for
cign assistance, it can become an in
dustriaI country.
AS civil war is over, and the harv-
est promises to be better than at
any time since the war, the Soviet
leaders contend that the peasant and
the city workmen will both have
more food than they have had for
years, and that the worst period is
behind them. For this reason the at
titude of Russian diplomats at Genoa
and the Hague was -frmer than the
Western world, accustomed to think
ing of economic ruin in the sense it
would affect their own countries, had

We have never believed that the
great rank and file of our people had
&itcl themselves over to lawlessness,
and we are more than ever convinced
,2.l this is so, judging by the words
cf commendatiol expressed in ap-
proval of Governor Harvey's course
n tightening up the reigns in the
matter of law enforcement. The
chief executive of a sovereign state
has it within his power to do much
towards compelling respect for law.
When he shows disregard for the
findings of the courts and juries, the
spirit of contempt for law is accel-,
Grated. When; he shows he stands
firmly for law and for law enforce
ment, the spirit of respect for law is
increased. What is a governor for,
anyway? To make the law of no eff
feet, or to execute the law? If he be
the Chief Executive the principal
function of his office is the execution
of the law. When he fails to stand
Cor the enforcement of law, he fails,
in Just so far, to function in the chief
i'1tter involved in his election to Of

having fought his way from one court
T. another, convicted in all, finally
stands face to face with a long term
Of Imprisonment or execution. The
last and only remaining hope Of the
prisoner is an appeal to the governor.
Friends, kinsmen, attorney-one af-
ter another and by various methods,
put up a series Of bombardments
against the executive mansion. 1t is
hard thing to stand firm when all
this onslaught comes. Men of weak
conviction cannot stand it. Men Of
weak MINDS mistake the inSiStence OF
the few for the voice Of the many.
The truth is, the great majority, al
though silent, are in accord with law
enforcement. They know that to give
government you must have law, and
to have law you must have law en-
forcement. This is so plainly true
that it needs not to be argued If it
be not true your juries, courthouses
and the entire machinery Of govern
ment is farcical.
Governor Harvey has our sympa-
thy and respect, in his strong stand
for the laws enforcement. He is
doing much to bring this state back
to it's senses, to rid it of anarchy and
violence. He should be given full en-.
do"sement by the good people of the
state.

Inventor Tests
Human Bird Suit
South Carolina


the human bird suit, invented by Dr.
Magnan, will be made at Dieppa in o
few weeks. The apparatus which nr
Magnan has constructed to attach to
the huma nbody weighs less than $50
pounds. 1t consists of two wings less
than a. yard long and fuseiage and
tail. h
"For years I have been observing
birds and their fight" explains the
inventor. al have discovered moth
ing. l have simply observed and not
ed my observations. 1t is possible
that have made mistakes in ms de-.
ductions." Dr.. Magnan describes
the results of his years of work to the
editor of the sporting newspaper
L'Auto.
ain the first place gliding flight and
sailing flight are too often confused.
Gliding signifies to take advantage of
fall; sailing means to depart from a
given point AID proftng by the wind,
to reach q height superior to that of
the start.
81 have observed thousands Of sea
gulls. These birds take off from a
high point, get a good start on the
fall and then turn their faces into the
wind. They then shorten the length
CT their necks, contracting it. This
changes the center of balance, inclin-
ing their bodies in the rear and ra s.
ing the tails. 1t is in this Kramer
that bird attacks an air wave ard
progresses.
After the wave has been passed
the birds lengthens his neck, which
shifts the center of gravity toward
the front. The body is heightened
and the tail is lowered. This is the
position Of the voiplane, or gliding
The combination of these two posi-
tions is repeated time after time as
the bird strikes the air wave. 1t is
the combination of the two which
brings the bird forward through the
air without Tapping it's wings.
"Of course while progress Is
made it is made in an undulating UP
and down and sidewards line. Ere
quently the curve is almost imper-
ceptible. The birds wings do not
beat during this operation, but on the
other hand they do not rest motion
less. The ends of the wings are IN
constant motion, but by dissection
have demonstrated that there are no
muscles attached to the ends. The
motion is caused by the air.
"This is what have observed by
sailing on the wing as contrasted with
gliding. Of course many experiments
have already been made with gliding.
Let me add that the birds have wings
which are very supple; I almost said
soft. The delicacy of the wings
warns the bird Of the changing cur
rents of air. The device I have ar
ranged for my human bird to take
the place of this characteristic of
birds wings is an thermometer siren
which whistles with the changing Of
the pressure of the wind waves and
advises the man bird when he should
glide and when he should sail"
M. Magnan intends to do the first
experimenting himself, but has sc,
cured the services of famous French
aviator who has himself done much
research work in the field of volplan-
ing. If the first tryouts at Dieppe
promise success DR.. Magnan will con-
tinue the experimenting at Calais.
