F|VE-DAY AIR
LINE, PLAN
Duke of Sutherland Explains
How DirigibIes Will Be
FueIed.
BY CosmopolItaD News Service.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Plans for
British air line between England
and India were told in a radio talk
from Station WIZ at Aeolian Hall,
by the Duke of Sutherland, British
Under-Secretary for Air. who sails
today for home after a three-weeks'
study Of American air methods.
He said the proposed air line,
plans for which are now before
parliament, provides for five or
six mooring masts for fueling the
dirgibles along the route and that
it was expected the distance would
be covered in five days.
After such flight has been
proven successful. it is planned to
establish a line to Australia, the
secretary said, making it possible
to cover in ten days a route which
by water requires six weeks.
Dixmude Toe Light.
He expressed regret at the recent
loss Of the French airship Dixmude.
and added that it was not COM
parable in strength or safety to the
present ships, having been built of
light military construction several
years ago.
He predicted the success of the
! airplane ''flivver," many of which
are now being built in England.
He said the planes are able to fly
eighty miles on a gallon Of gasoline
at speed of 20 miles an hour.
To Cost Only $1,000.
These machines should eventually
cost only about $1,000" he con-
tinued. "They can land and take
off on any small piece of ground.
Accidents to the motor do little or
no serious damage either to planes
or pilots because of their extreme
lghtness, and in the event of engine
failure they can continue gliding
through the air for a considerable
time before landing"
He asserted that the United
States is well ahead of England in
the development of dirigible air
ships and praised the new Ameri-
can ship, Shenandoah, which he in
spected. He said that in the Lon
don-Paris air service the planes
had flown daily during the past two
years without injury to a single
passenger -and that on the average
they had only one forced landing
to every $4,000 miles.

PRISONER WHO AVERTED
MUTINY WINS PARDON

MADISON. Wis, Jan. 11.-For
assisting an officer of the State
prison who was assaulted by another
prisoner, and probably preventing

years from September 3, 1920, for
assault and robbery. An inmate of
he prison named Turner assaulted
officer Harding and threatened to
ill him. Perham is reported to
ave come to the assistance Of the
Jfficer and prevented violence.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Jan. IL
BY removing the locomotive whistle
from behind the smoke stack,
steam dome or generator. and put
ting It in the front part. of the
engine inside reflector. loss OF
life In railroad accidents and waste
Of millions of dollars a year in
coal may be prevented, according
TO DR.. A. l.. Foley, head OF the
department of physics at the
Indiana State University. !.
DIR. Foley has devoted himself
to this problem for fifteen years.
His interest was intensified as the
results of an investigation begun
about two years ago into the
causes of a Pennsylvania Railroad
wreck at Van Vert, Ohio, in which
seventeen school children were
killed.
III. Inspected Death Engine.
The railroad company employed
DR.. Foley to make study OF the
whistle, headlight and bell Of the
ill.fated locomotive. The school
children had been in a hack, the
driver of which first went down
to the tracks on foot to make
sure the train was not coming.
He heard no sound Of it's approach
and drove the hack into the path
of the onrushing train.
Locomotive whistles, located as
they are at present" DR.. Foley said,
ARE in a poor position to give warn
ing signals down the track ahead
of them. The sound is reflected OFF
at right angles instead of down the
track, where it is needed"
Recommending that the whistle
be moved forward and placed in a
reflector, which would not only
direct the sound ahead, but intensity
it, DR.. Foley further declared:
"All railroad whistles should be
standardized. The use of whistles
producing the same sound should be
restricted to the useN Of railroad
locomotives so the public will be.
come accustomed to them and be on
guard the moment the shrill sound
was heard.
Few persons realize the tremen-
dous cost of blowing the locomotive
whistles Of the country" DR.. Foley
added. Railroads pay more than
$7,000,000 a year in coal to blow
locomotive whistles. Two.thirds of
thiB cost could be saved, believe,
and the efficiency of the whistle as
atwarning device be increased, i'm
maasurably by moving it to it's
proper place, forward"

A WISE MOVE

Mayor Tobin is to be heartily COM
mended for his decision to proceed with
the construction Of the Auditorium. 1t
is the only thing to do and the only way
in which San Antonio will ever get the
public building it so badly needs.
There may not be enough money i'm
mediately available for the construction
OF complete building but there is no
doubt that there will be Forthcoming
insufficient sum to complete it in a salts
factory manner whenever that money is
needed.
For several years the auditorium
project has been standing still and the
taxpayers have been called upon to meet
the interest on the bonds without receiv-
ing any compensation for the money they
have been paying. The do-nothing meth
DDS of the Black administration brought
about nothing but delay and the action
of the citizens of San Antonio who sought
to obstruct the issue of bonds recently
voted by a majority of the voters have
made it appear as though the auditorium
would never be built. The direct and
energetic action of the present city adj
ministration promises to give relief from
an exasperating situation.
The way to build the auditorium Is
build It. Thanks to Mayor Tobin and
the city commissioners the city is now
in a fair way TO have what it so greatly
needs

CHAPTER XVII.
TIE Pest-HOuse.


There ensued for Colonel HOLES on
some plane other than that of nun
dane life period Of fevered activity,
of dread encounters and terrible COM
bats. of continual strife with re-
lentless opponent dressed in black and
white satin who wore the countenance
of His Grace of Buckingham and who
was ever on the point Of Staying him,
yet. being unmerciful. never Stayed.
The fact is that HOLES lived in a
world of delirium, hence at last he
awakened one day to sanity--awak-
ened to die, as he thought, when he
had taken stock Of his surroundings
and realized them by the aid Of men,
cries he assembled of his last wax
ing conscious hours.
He found himself lying on a pallet,
near window, through which he
had n glimpse of foliage and OF a
strip of indigo sky.
Tears gathered in his eyes, and
rolled down his wasted cheeks.
Steps were softly approaching his
bedside. Some one was leaning over
him. He turned his head once more
and looked up. And then great fear
took possession of him. so that for q
moment his heart seemed to contract.
Aloud. he explained to himself that
apparitiOn.
Il am at my dreams again!" he
complained in whisper.
At his bedside stood woman
young and comely in the gray home
spun. with the white bands and bib
and Golf that made up the garb Of
Puritans. Her face was small and
pale and oval, her eyes were long, of
color between blue and green, very
wistful now in their expression, and
from under the wings of her Golf
escaped one or two heavy chestnut
curls, TO lie upon her white neck. A
fine cool hand sought his own where
it lay upon the coverlet, a voice that
was full of soft, sad music answered
him.
NAY. Randall. You are awake at
last-thank God"
And now he saw that those long
wistful eyes were aswim in tears.
Where am j, then?' he asked, in
his first real bewilderment since awak-
ening.

In his presidential campaign, La Fol.
lette has no chance of a strong follow
ing. He can look for support only to
the radicals and destructionists and these
are never in the majority, no matter how
great pest they may be. If they were
in majority neither they nor we would
have nation. 1t would be torn to pieces
and that too, merely for the sake of
the rending.
1t is great pity that such a destruc-
zionist and obstructionist as La Toilette
can make so much trouble for decent peo-
pie but there have always been individ-
uals OF his kind in the world and-un-
pleasant to contemplatc-there probably
always will be some of them.

served to increase the confusion in
his mind.

briefly she explained the circum-

"And you tended me? You?" In
credulous amazement lent strength to
his enfeebled voice.
'Did not you tend ne?" she an
swered him.
He made gesture OF reputation
with one of his hands, grown so pale
and thin.
Then he looked at her with piteous
eyes. Il scarce dare hope that you'll

"But I do. Randall. I do. I have

And then the doctor supervened TO
