COLORED SKY WRITING
LOndOners See Stream of Red Smoke
Used by Aviator.

NEW YORK, July "A new form
Of sky-writing using h-ame-colored as
we'll as white smoke, was initiated
by The London Daily Mail recently.
1t was seen by visitors to the British
Empire Exhibition at Wembley and
by people within a radius Of ten
miles.
A machine chartered from Maj. J.
Savage and piloted by Lieutenant
TaitcoX, at an altitude of between
II 5000 and IL, 1000 feet, began to trace
the words Daily Mail. When only
half way through the first word the
machine emitted a stream OF red
smoke, and watchers first thought
the airplane had caught fire. Then
it was seen that the machine was
completing the word Daily in flame
colOred smoke, and this color was
also used for the word Mail. The air.
plane was travelling at over 100 miles
an hour.
According to the newspaper this
was the first time that any sky-writ-
ing had beeG done in colored smoke.

DETROIT, July Forty per

suited in worse prospects for work

w. Frye, supreme commander Of
THE Maccabees International Frater-
NAL Benefit Society. in an address
here at a conference on old age de-
Ipendency.
THE United States has inreased
the productivity of its farms more
than 20 per cent in the past twenty
years" said Frye. This at first
sight would seem like security OF
abundant food for everybody. On
the contrary, it has resulted in a
Emigration Of the surplus farm la
|ber into industry so that the aging
Industrial worker is forced out by
the rush Of new blood from the
farm.
Since 1900 the number Of indus
trial workers in this country has
increased from 10. 1000. 600 to 81
900, 600. The farm population has
been steadily decreasing. In the
past few years migration from the
farms into industry has been at the
rate of 1000, 900 a year. OF course
this can't go on. It viii be over
done and the pendulum will swing
back. But the effect has been that
the percentage of wage earners in

diminished 10 per cent in twenty

Sticking

To such a proposition It is &C
cepted as a true statement of con
d%itions, there can be but n an
swer. And so the McAdoo delegates
are sticking.
If it were only true hat McAdoo
really represented all that is pure
and good and honest, and that the
'other side were made up of the
dirty, the mean and the dishonest,
this would really be a dramatic, a
thrilling fight.
But there are many here who can
not think of McAdoo as quite sole
defender of truth left in the land,
nor can they be made to believe that
all those who have failed TO rally
to McAdoo's cause have sold out to
the devil.
And it did not help matters any

Adoo addressed his delegates in what
amounted to a combined prayer

NEW YORK, July 7.-"Weu stick

ballots to nominate him." is the
battle cry today of the ardent Nc
Adoo forces. Not one whit discour-
aged by the rather fruitless Thar

end, the McAdoo delegates today
actually believe they have the enc
NY on the run.
They regard Sundays offer Of
all the other candidates to release
all pledged delegates as the first
sign of surrender. It is when the
enemy makes offer of compromise
that his weakness can be detected,
they reason, and confidently look for
a break in the ranks of all those
opposed to McAdoo.
To persons not vitality interested
in the outcome Of this convention
1t is doubtless difficult to understand
how tired, almost worn u dele
gates can still maintain their en-
thusiasm for some particular man

1t is no longer a mere matter of
selecting a candidate. It is a battle
now between right and wrong. The
forces of Righteousness are engaged
in a h~and-tO-hand struggle with the
legions Of sin and iniquity.
OF course, that may not actually
be the case. But in the magma
tions, perhaps overheated magma
tons, of the McAdoo supporters
their side is fighting Gods battles,
all their opponents are either know
ingly or unwittingly fighting for the
devils triumph. And as far as this
convention is concerned it is mag
inings rather than facts that count.

them anew by referring to the long
struggle the allies had in winning
