 "The effect of the airplane, if de- veloped as Is expected will permit the committing from distances of q hundred miles, while weekend trips can be made from New York to the Thousand Islands. from San Fran cisco to the Yosemite, from Wash ington and Baltimore to the noun talns of Virginia, and from Boston to the Maine woods.
 If the visions of the experts ma terialize, people whose business re- qUlreS only occasional VlSltS to the city can live almost anywhere they choose, while some of our wealthiesi men can spend their winters In Flor ida and their summers in Nova Sco- tia and still keep in touch with their business interests in New York.
 "But 1t must be remembered that the airplane traffic will not be even ly distributed. The flying people go where landing facilities are provided The town that first provides these facilities should become popular with aircraft"

 quering Space

WASHINGTON. July 22.--A mar vicious aerial age looms for the United States in tho near future, ac- cording to statement issued by the bureau of standards here Sunday.
 This bureau. the high court. of stronghold of scientific pessimism and caution toward all innovations, accepting them only after exhaustive tests and examinations, is heraldng the dawn of new era in transpor- tation.
 Within ten vears tho bureau's statement said, the airplane will be as firmly established in the every day life of America as the automo- bile. The coming decade. 19231933, will view an expansion of aircraft use comparable only to the amazing advance of the automobile in the years 1905-1915. 1t believes,
 The aerial age will bring not only new vehicle of transportation and communication, the bureau believes, but will have important and far reaching effects on the economic and social fabric of the American nation. Will Span Space.
 The influence of cities in the na- tons life. already deplored by a certain school of thought, will re- ceive added impetus. The common uso of the airplane will put now re- mote sections of tho country within easy reach of great population cen ters. Real estate values within a wide radius of cities will increase just as they increased with the i'm provement in tho means of suburban railroad transportation and of the automobile.
 Small cities and towns, at present with limited spheres of influence in restricted regions will attain sudden prosperity through their changed re- lationship to the country as whole
 The arrival of the aerial age vir- tually precipitates race for com mercial primacy under the new order of things, the bureau infers. Cities

The rum-runner went forward with the transaction, se- cure In the knowledge that his money was awaiting him at the bank when he delivered the goods.
 Usually a condition of the agree ment was that both parties should appear together at the bank and state that the deal had been carried out to their satisfaction before the bank would make payment. Simi- larly, in the event of failure of the deliveries, the depositor could draw down his deposit only under like conditions. Almost always a pro- vision was included for the selection of an arbitrator whose decision should be binding on the bank should the principals not agree as to the facts.

Be Careful What You
 Wash Your Hair With

Many soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much free alkali which is very injurious. as. it. dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The best thing to use is Mulsifiei oocoanut oil shampoo. for this is pure and entirely greascless. It is very cheap and beats anything else all to pieces. You can get Mulsifed at any drug store, and few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Two or three teaspooDfuls of Mulsi- fled in a cup or glass with . little warm water is all that is required. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub the Mulsified cocoanut oil in. It makes an abundance of rich. creamy lather. cleanses thoroughly. and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly. and is soft. fresh looking. bright. fluffy. wavy. and easy 10 manage.

CHRIST'S DIVINITY
 DOUBTED BY GRANT
Says Few of Clergy Believe Jesus
 Had Power of God

New York, Jan. l5.-Consccratior of churches is an idea inherited from the age of witchcraft. magic and ta. boo. the Rev Percy Stickncy Grant rector of the Protestant Episcopal church of Ascension on lower Fifth avenue. declared in a sermon yester- day. This sermon" he told b1s con. gregation. "is not an attack upon any one or any thing. It is a straight forward talk in the interest of econ- omy and social welfare"
 The apostolic succession claimed by the Roman Catholic church ard high churchmen of the Episcopal oh lrch is iio longer accepted by the educated classes. he said. and 1t is through that so-calied succession, considered un- broken from Christ to Bishop Man ming that priests are supposed to be gifted with miraculous powers.
 Doubts Jesus Power
 Very few clergymen today" he said, who have been educated in the large universities accept the idea that Jesus had the power of God. He doubtless did miracles as they were regarded in his day, but as M. Coue points out. many of them were acts of auto-sugges stion and would fall under well known catcgories clearly and well classified by psychologists today. Science understands them. They are not miracles"
 Continuing. he said. people today are seeking mental emancipation and that the educated classes, including clergymen and priests, do not accept the efficacy of miraculous consecra- ton because they do not accept mir aculous powers of the priesthood.
 Refers to Marriages
 Referring to marriages, he said:
 If we clearly understand that priests have no power to make mar riage more than it is its sacredness. we perceive. comes not from . priest lut from its essential characteristics which have to do with the attitude and lives of the people involved. and ! cannot be preserved as something in ! dependent of their feeling will and behaviour"
 "The trouble with the ministry is not to be attributed to their scholar- ship" he continued. They have had the best education the country can give. The trouble is the repression Of their best thought anH study by com fort loving congregations which do rot want to be stirred up by the problems of today; also the trouble with the clergy is the repression by officials in ecclesiastical authority who call halt upon freedom of thought in the pulpit"
 Now Play It Safe
 As a result, pr. Grant said. Ihinis- ters do what politicians and busi- nessrnen are doing all the time-play safe" There are 234,0oo churches and syna sogues in the United. States he said, representing $S.0oo.0oo.OO0 in lax exempt property. Tn return for f this tremendous remission of taxes these churches are supposed to be of as much use as possible to the com . munity," he declared. Lets stop consecrating churches if hat prevents them from being used i IS forums. Whatever faults you may ,erceive in such use of the church {, .ou cannot suggest anything better Gold was used as money in Egypt f '000 B. c.
