AIRPLANES SELL FOR $500
British manufacturers Make Light
Graft for Amateur FLYERS.

British manufa cturers are now per-
fecting light models of aircraft that
will cost little more than a motorcycle
They are fitted with small engines of
four horsepower and have speed OF
so miles an hour. They leave the
ground with a few yards run and
land at less than 25 miles an hour.
The dangers are less formidable than
those of the big flying machines, and
any one with rudimentary knowledge
Of mechanics can handle the new
models
In an effort further to popularize fly
ing, the British under secretary OF
state for air has offered a prize Of
$1,000 for light airplane competition
confined to British machines with
maximum of eight horsepower. The
cost of the airplane when completed
Is not to exceed $500. The competi-
ton Is to take place In September.

AIRPLANE HUNTS FOR MULES

Folks who think spending an after
noon in an airplane is nice, expen-
sive luxury, would have been scandal
lied at Lindsey, CAL, recently when G.
w. Kraul, rancher, hired an aviator
and his plane and went out hunting
for his mules.
Hunting lost mules by airplane IL
declared the very newest in stunts.
Mr.. Kraul, with Orval Freeman, local
airman, scared high, and as they flew
Kraul scanned the landscape with
powerful glass, finally being rewarded
by the discovery Of the three lost mules,
which had strayed away three days
before

cal observations were made. includin,
careful physical and mental examlna
tlon, blood counts, body weights, an,
so OH. AS a consequence it was pos
sible to estimate with fair accurac,
the changes that took place
AT the outset tryparsamid was
given in doses of five grains at inter
walls of one week over a period Of from
five to six weeks. 1t was evident that
tryparsamid alone had marked bene
fetal effects, both on the clinical and
on the serologic pictures. Later, while
the former seemed stable, the latter
were found to be subject to relapse.
provements were noted on both pic
lures.
Frequent tests showed that the best
dosage known at this time consists Of
three grains Of tryparsamid in ten
cubic centimeters of distilled water,
injected intravenously, given at inter-
walls Of one week for period Of eight
weeks. At the same time mercuric
salicylate is administered intramuscu-
larly in one grain doses. After a rest
period Of five to eight weeks the
course is repeated. A third may fol-
low.
Good Results Reported.
The physicians report that of the
AZ advanced paretic patients treated,
81 have been discharged from the
hospitals and are working. In the IL
early cases, relatively acute, results
have been pronounced-seven have
fully recovered their normal mental
ity and have been discharged and are
earning their living and the remain
ing five are mentally in condition
to earn their livings but have not
yet been discharged because of sero-
logic findings
OF the total t1fty-four cases of par
esis studied, twenty-eight patients
have been holding positions and earn
ing a livelihood for themselves and
their families for periods ranging
from six months to two years. That,
says the doctors, answers what they
name the "So-called remission" attrib-
tied to paresis, In their opinion err

ar syphilis treated, the blood Wasser-
mann reaction became negative in |

rably improved The patients on the
