LONDON, May 1S.-When the Brit
iSh all communications with the vari-
Gus parts of the empire develop fully
one of the main routes for the trans
portation of passengers and mails
will be between London and Chicago
by way of Montreal. The trip will
lie made in forty-eight hours. This
will eventually become one of the
greatest commercial air lines in the
world. according to Lieut.. Commander
charles d. Burney, inventor of the
para vane and one of the foremost ad-
vocates of British airship communica-
tionS
In discussing the future of air navi-
cation with the correspondent today,
commander Burney declared that Chi
cago was destined to become one of
the worlds air terminals. chiefly be-
cause il is the strategic heart of the
American productive area and second
arily because air liners must strike
inland to avoid competition with
steamships over short distances.
Liner to Egypt.
Our first air liner will enter the
service TO Egypt and India within
Eighteen months, said Commander
w
that route and experimental with va
rious types of airships we undoubted-
ly will turn westward and inaugurate
the service with an airship capable
81 carrying 200 passengers.
Thine will prove the soundneSS of
communication by craft lighter than
air. They will eliminate tedious jour
neNS by rail and boat and will make
travel by air comfortable without the
noise and vibration of the airplanes.
" will he found that an air journey
from Chicago to London comes APP
proXmately to the same price as the
rail and steamer fare.
When the world becomes accus-
toned to the idea of air navigation il
viii undoubtedly call for more rapid
transport. which, with a combination
OF airships and airplanes is capable
of unlimited exploitation. For in
stance. big airships would carry
small. but fast. airplancS, which could
be launched when within 500 miles of
land and allow those demanding eX-
treme speed to complete the journey
at 200 miles an hour"
In view of recent developments in
France the British government has
decided definitely to carry out Il vast
scheme of aircraft building, naturally
including commercial lines as we'll as
extensive building for home defense.
Added to the British desire for
Quick communication with the do
minions comes the strong wish TO in
sure the defense of the homeland
against the predominant French air
force. With the impetus given by
these desires the navigation of air
lanes should show remark BILE prog
ress in the Immediate future.

POINTS OUT NEED OF
 BETTER HOMES ON FARMS
Purpose of Women in Rural Districts to Be Ihrecfold, Economic.
 Social and Educational

St. Louis, Nov. 1f.-Farm women want definite place and a definite way to Serve more adequately and effectively "our homes, our conmuni- ties and our country" according to a paper by Mrs. W. c. Martin of Dal- las, Tex, read at today's session of the convention here of the American Country Life association. Mrs. Mar tin is chairman of the Home and Community committee of the Ameri. can Farm Bureau Federation.
 'our purposes are thteefold: Econo- mic, social and educational" Mrs Martin said. ''No state or national or- ganization can he successful which docs not deal with community prob- loms and meet community needs.
 We need to bring into our farm homes, and into our rural districts more of the real spirit of community life. The time has come when the farmer and the community must be associated for protection as well as for advancing the rural people. Un- organized, disrupted, selfish communi- tics have often been imposed upon.
 When Farm Bureau women get together and discuss household af- fairs of common interests, such as household management. hygienic problems. cooking, sanitation, labor saving devices, marketing of butter and eggs. enterprises Of social, liter nry. musical and artistic interest. ways are sure to be found to overcome many obstacles"

THEY WENT TO HARTFORD
Traffic Bureau Men Are Told By B. and A. Officials They Will Get No
 Better Service This Year Than Last.

About a dozen traffic managers Of local factories representing the traffic bureau of the Chamber of Commerce, motored to Hartford last evening and m ct in a joint session with the traffic bureau of that city for the purpose of discussing the embargo situation on the Boston and Albany railroad this winter.
 The traffic men were addressed by R. Van Ummersen, freight traffic manager of the B. and A., who told them frankly that there would be just as much embargo on the road this year as last and that when the em- bargo went into effect it would be iron clad.
 He explained that much of the trouble was caused by the inability of the New York. New Haven and Hart ford railroad to keep its tracks clear and thus forced a backwash Of freight cars onto the E. and A. at the Spring field gateway. Much of the trouble could be avoided he seid if the New Haven" kept it's freight moving.
 Some of the high spots on the stor- row report on the proposed consolida- ton of New England railways were discussed by c. s. Stevenson of the Security Trust Co.

PINCHOT GATHERS HIS PRICE DATA
WM Recommend Coal Legislation
 at Meeting November 26

Harrisburg, Pa. Nov. 14.-Data which will form the basis of Gover- nor Pinchot's suggestions to the gov ernors of anthracite consuming states who accept an invitation which he sent them last night to meet him here November 28, and draft federal legislative program to reduce coal prices was being assembled today by the governor.
 The chief executives of twenty nine state. were invited to come here and consider specific program for which Governor Pinchot wrote them he was prepared to submit a sugges- tion. If this program is found prac- ticable, he proposed that the gover- nors agree upon a definite plan of le gisation to be laid before the con- gress at the coming session. The governor gave no intimation of what suggestion he had in mind further than to say that since settlement of the coal mining suspension early in September an investigation of anthra- cite prices had been under way here and that it had resulted in the out line of a definite plan for national legislation and for state action"
 This investigation, however, in which several state agencies have been participating, has resulted in the gathering of an array of facts and figures relating to the Pennsylvania hard coal industry. From these Mir Pinchot was said to be compiling the material on which he will base his proposals.
 In his letter to the governors, the Pennsylvania executive declared we do not have to prove the existence of abuses in the anthracite industry, or Of crying injustice to the consumer in extortionate prices" There, he said, "are matters of common knowl- edge" the operators, he added, could. if they would, not only give the consumer a square deal, but at the same time free their industry of the public condemnation which now rests upon it." But" he asserted, they have declined to do so and we must turn elsewhere

WHEAT COMMISSION
 PLAN IN THE WORKS
Secretary Wallace Announces Tentative Policy Under Way

By The Associated Press.
 Chicago, Nov. 14.-A wheat com mission plan of handling America s surplus wheat is now being worked out in his department, Henry c. Wal lace, secretary of agriculture indicated today in an address before the Chi cago association of commerce.
 Such commission as he advocates in conjunction with the tariff would bring about rise in price in the domestic market
 He made it clear. however, that price fixing must be avoided and warned that government interference with the elements of supply and de- mand would hamper readiustment.
 Such a commission as I suggest" |" he said "and which we are not out lining will look after the wheat sur plus from behind a tariff wall so that prices can rise in the domestic market to the point where apushel a of wheat will buy as much for the farmer as it did before the war"
 The secretary. suggested that any effort to fix wheat prices by govern mental agencies would only add to the difficulties of the producers
 In his view a readjustment Of the situation would come only through a balancing of production and con sumption and the readjustment would be allayed by any governmental in- reference with the natural elements of supply and demand, he explained
 The trials of the wheat farmer were laid to the sudden 'evapora- tion," of the foreign market follow ing the war and the only real solu- ton. he asserted lies in the readjust- ment of production to the curtailed demand for American wheat.
