Washington, D.. 9. Aug. 10.-The
much mooted question as to whether

bacco smoke constitutes hazard to

of tests just completed by the depart

The tests, which were pei formed In
the course of general studies of the
burau Of mines relative TO gas hazards

confined in a CLOSED chamber whose
dimensions were 1000 cubic feet. The

The atmosphere was so irritation to

that in no instance did the carbon

Moscow, Aug 10.-When the Am

since the war have conducted relief
operations in Poland. Austria,

Americans, mostly former army Of

charming girls.
Before the law became effective

easy, although even then 1t involved
digging into records for documents,
more documents and still more docu-

Hyphenated Histories.

Are our American histories pro-
American. or are the pro. British
This question is being vociferously
agitated in some sections of the
country at the present time.
During the war somebody dis
covered that our histories were
pro. German, Immediately a roar
went up demanding that they be
degermanized. 1t made a good
copy for the newspapers.
Now Mr.. Hearst and his papers
have discovered that our histories
are pro- British, and the howl this
time is at the expense of England.
If our histories were pro- German
during the war, and if they are
pro-British now, why is it SO. and
who is getting the "swag," and
why is it not possible to find some
one in this country who has a
sufficient amount of brains and
patriotism to write a history that
is pro- American?
Either our historians are I'M
American for writing them, and
our school authorities and teachers
are un-American for using them or
somebody is talking through big
hole in his hat.

Work and PLAY.

We work because it is necessary
to work in order to live. We play
because 1t is necessary to give

which keeps them in condition for
the performance of our daiIv
labors.
When at work the wise man
centers his mind and his energies
upon that work to the exclusion
OF everything in the realm of plav
1t is this concentration of thought
and action that enables men To
accomplish the things that stamp
them as successful in life.
1t is the same when the wise
man plays. He puts the cares OF
business away from him for the
time being, and enters wholeheart-
eddy into that physical and mental
exercise which develops the body

keeps him ir condition to with.

Flying.

The most astonishing thing
about the recent twenty-seven- hour
flight of two men from coast to
coast is that it caused so little
establishment. People took it as
they take the cutting of second
from the record Of a mile horse
trot. Yet it is not quite twenty
years since the first authentic
flight in a heavier-than-air machine
took place. Two years later the
wonderful feat of one of the Wright
brothers in keeping in the air
thirty-eight minutes was reported
to an amazed and half.incredulous
world.
The conquest of the air is not
yet complete; there are still remov-
able dangers to be overcome; and
such leats as crossing the ocean or
the continent and attaining a
speed of more than two hundred
miles an hour are accomplished
only after long preparation, in
favorable circumstances and at
great cost. Aviation has not yet
become available for practical use
except on few quick mail routes;
but those who have doubted
whether we shall ever be able to
use the aeroplane in our ordinary
business or pleasure are finding
their doubts brushed away by the
rapid removal of one obstacle after
another.
Nevertheless. the doubts have
reasonable basis, for aviation has
its limits. The law of gravitation
will forever prevent it from COM
peting in cheapness and safety
with the railways and the water
borne freight carrier and conse-
quently in general use. 1t can
and will be an invaluable resource
in emergencies when speed is an
object and expense does not count.
But every step of progress in
aviation has its sinister aspect.
1t promises to add more and more
to the horrors to war. A fortified
frontier will no longer be an effec-
tive national defense. Cities in
the interior will be even more ex.
posed to destructive attack than
those on the seaboard. In spite Of
efforts to embody in international
law the principle Of immunity 70,

MANY FAMILIES NOW
OWN TWO MOTOR CARS
Small Auto Cheaper in City-Big
Closed One Desirable for
Long Trips.

The great increase in automobile
registration is partly attributed by
the National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce TO the number of families
owning two cars, says the Harper
Motor COMPANY, local dealers in Du-
rant and Star cars, and the increase
is distinctly noticeable in this city.
AS a matter of fact, the ownership
of two cars is economical for those
in average circumstances. The aver
age owner desires a car Of comforta
BILE proportions for the use of his
family and for long tours. The ten
dency in this respect is leaning to-
ward closed cars.
But for the short trips about town
IN traffic. and when one or two pas
EengerS are carried, the owner real
Ives that a small car costs less to op-
crate than a large car. The greatly
increasing number of business men
and statesmen who use their automo-
biles day in and day out for business
purposes prefer to own Il luxurious
car for family use and a less expen-
sive car for the daily grind.
Such conditions are resulting in
two-car ownersip. One may be five
or seven passenger sedan or touring
car. the other Il coupe or roadster.
Sometimes both are the same model,
large and small. for touring and town
use. respectively. In many cases
station wagon is purchased and may
he used for q knoCkabout car, to
transport supplies and luggage or
cover delivery route. Such cars
are comfortably built for either pas
SeDger or delivery use.
There are many motorists in this
city who own two or more cars, and
the number is rapidly increasing. The
Durant and Star lines have been es-
peoiallly popular with those who own
two cars. because they furnish cars
in two price classes and enable the
owners to have both their small and
larger cars serviced in the same es-
tablishment
