FRENCH PLANES
FEATURE SPEED
Smaller Machines With IN
creased Engine Power
in Demand.

Paris.-Speed, speed and more speed
was the main object toward which air
plane manufacturers strived during
1924 judging by the exhibits shown at
the ninth French aviation salon In the
Grand Palais.
1t seems as II the trend toward
monstrous machines, with weight-lift-
ing capacity ranging from three to
FIVE tons, has been abandoned.
In order to achieve speed, the de-
signers and manufacturers have re-
verified to monoplanes and sesquiplanes,
all-metal wings and powerful motors
built as light as possible.
'gThe manufacturers must build what
ever the customer wants." said 3. De-
woitinne "In our case, the customer
is the state and the state wants fast
planes, so It is up to us to supply
them"
Has orders for 800 Machines.
There are orders for 300 of these
fast planes now on file at the De-
woitinne plant for delivery In, 1925.
They are distributed among the follow
ing governments: Yugo-Slavia, Italy,
Czechoslovakia, Belgium and Japan.
It Is understood the largest order
comes from the far eastern country.
Newport presents a sesQuiplane
armed with four machine guns, despite
the fact that 1t Is only 7.50 meters in
length and has wing spread of only.
IL meters. They say its 450 herse-
power motor can haul that plane at a
rate OF 300 kilometers per hour for
three solid hours. 1t has lifting ca
pacity of 500 kilos.
Potez, Salmson, Breguet and Caud-
ron all turned in pursuit planes with
dimensions and lifting capacity. similar
to the Newport. They all claim to be
able to fly between $50 and 300 kilo-
meters an hour.
Farman alone exhibits huge bomb
ing biplane, equipped with four 500
horsepower motors, which weighs H.
600 kilos when ready to take the air,
This weight includes $500 kilos of
bombs. and 1000 kilos of fuel.
Carries Load of Bombs and Guns.
The armament of this air cruiser con-
sists Of 80 bombs of Sc kilos each,
with seven to ten bombs of 100 and 200
kilos, all arranged with automatic re-
lease. Provision is made for bombs Of
500 kilos instead of the lighter bombs
when necessary.
Two machine guns, one fore and an
other aft, complete the military equip
ment.
It carries crew of seven men-two
machine gunners, two pilots, two me-
chanics and navigating officer, who
also acts as bombing expert.
A Salmson motor capable Of devel-
oping 480 horsepower and weighing
only $50 kilos was the subject Of much
scrutiny by the experts.
To the layman one Of the most pop
ular features of the salon has been the
Breguet machine, with which Capt.

Artificial Laryrlx Will
Restore Mute's Speech

Rev York.-Use of an artificial
larynx to restore speech to mute per
sons, which recently was pronounced
practicable after tests made at Johns
Hopkins university, in Baltimore, was
given q demonstration for the first
time at the Vanderbilt clinic here.
Three men over fifty years old, who
had lost the power of speech because
of cancer and who had undergone
special operations In order that the
artificial larynx might be applied to
them, were able to speak with vary
ing degrees of distinctness.
The device is applied externally
and consists Of a pad strapped over
an aperture In the patients neck at
spot where his windpspe terminates.
From the pad rubber tube leads to
small mechanism placed in the mouth.
Air forced from the lungs is set in
vibration and the vibrations are car
ried through the tube, which resem-
bles a pipe stem, into the speakers
mouth. There the vibrations are
modulated in much the same manner
as II they were produced In the
throat.
The instrument, 1t is said, would
remove a barrier to the proper treat
ment Of cancer Of the throat In the
early stages Of the disease when
radical operation offers a practical
certainty Of cure, sufferers often have
hesitated because they dreaded loss
OF voice. Delay has usually allowed
the dk,ease to progress to point
/ where cure Is impossible. With the
fear Of silence removed, sufferers no
longer win risk their lives, but win
have the cancerous tissues removed
and do their talking with an artificial
larynx.

New British Warships
Revolutionize Design

London.-The design Of the battle
ships Nelson and Rodney, now being
built by Great Britain under the pro-
visions Of the Washington naval treaty,
is so revolutionary, according to the
Daily Express. that it marks the end
of the dreadnaught era, just as the
dreadnaughts marked the end of pre-
vious types.
The new ships will be entirely differ
ent from any others In the world, the
paper says They will be both float
Ing fortresses and airdromes, and will
have radius of action covering thou
sands Of miles. Nine 16-inch guns will
be mounted on each in three turrets,
all forward. There will be no guns
on the afterpart, which will constitute
a fight deck, and the ships will carry
their own flying corps and planes.
Another feature, the Express says,
is that there probably win be no fun
nels, the products of the furnaces be-
ing discharged through pipes running
alongside the stern

RECIPES.

Cleaning Hints Clean satin slip
pers of any color with denatured alco-
hol. Straw hats may be cleaned with
q piece Of velvet dipped in alcohol.
Rub a piece of crinoline over suede or
velvet shoes, purses, etc.
When washing or cleaning dresses,
whether wooden or cotton, hang on a
coat hanger on the clothes line, and
the garment will retain it's shape and
will also be easier to iron. Rub corn
meal in panama hats to clean them
Baking Hint.-Milk taken out of the
refrigerator or window box is too cold
for baking. Try warming it a little
and see If the results are not better.
Cream Soup Slice of white bread
cut in dice; fry light brown in butter
SO it is crisp but not greasy; put in
bowl and pour two cups Of boiling
water in the pan; add. little salt and
nutmeg on bread, then pour water on
the bread, add little cream.
Celery SaIt.-Take all the best
leaves OF celery, wash, dry near fire
until crisp, then take strong round
bottle and roll it until 1t is fine as
powder. Put one teaspoon Of powder
20 cup of salt. 1t is better than
what you buy and has a fine flavor.
save all the leaves that are good and
when celery is hard to get you have
your powder to flavor anything yon
would use celery for. Saves r-aIly a
dime.

funeral train move solemnly away TO
the burial grounds.
Thus it happened that while Mr..
and Mrs, Hinton were consigning to
the grave what they believed to be
the body Of their slain son, the boy
alive and impatiently awaited
their return to the station; weary and
travel-stained and intensely excited
over the realization that members of
his family were suffering acute agony
at thought that they were burying his
body
The impressive services concluded
at the graveside, Mr.. and Mrs. Hinton
and Mr.. Cox drove slowly and sadly
back to the station to catch the train
to Atlanta. Bowed with the burden Of
their grief, they reached the station
and started to dismount-
Back From the Dead.
When there standing at the side
of their automobile they saw their
son-the boy whom they thought they
had only few moments before con-
signed to the tomb.
Imagine the scene that ensued
The frightened central figure in the
recent funeral wasn't able to explain
how such set of circumstances as
he had just experienced might actual
" be decreed, by fate, but contented
himself with loudly protesting that the
veracity Of his claims to existence
were not Of nature to be questioned.
The case of John Hinton thus dis
josed OF, police authorities turned
their attention to ascertaining the true
identity of the boy whose body had
been laid to rest In the Hinton burial
plot.
Horace Singletary, the injured
youth, had recovered, and under ques-
tioning revealed why he had not
cleared up the mystery earlier
Z The boy who was killed was Col
lis Harris, his chum, and the pair had
run away to see the world Single
tary wasN in love with Harris sister
and after the accident he was afraid
he would be blamed for the double
runaway and consequently would be
''uueered' with Miss Harris So he
kept quiet, hoping that the mistake
In identity would never be~known. But
Johnny blasted his hopes by coming
back from the dead"

Notes and
Comment
~ ,ntarest to Women Readers
TO SILVER MIRRORS.

You can make a mirror from com
mon glass. The process OF silverin5
a mirror is to coat the glass With "a
amalgam For this purposo q large,
perfectly fat stone table is provided;
upon 1t is evenly spread sheet Of
tinfoiI without crack or flaw; this
Is covered uniformly to the depth of
one-eighth Of an inch with clean MGR
curry. The plate of glass, perfectly
cleansed from all grease and impurity,
is fioated onto the mercury carefully,
SO as to exclude all air bubbles. It Is
then pressed down by loading it with
weights, in order to press out all the
mercury which remains fluid, which is
received in gutter around the stone.
After about "a hours it Is raised gent
ly upon its edge, and in few weeks
Is ready to frame. 1t is desirable to
have the lower end of the glass, from
which the mercury was drained, at
the bottom of the frame.
The following is good method of
siIvering mirror. Pour three drachms
of quicksilver to the square foot of
foil. Rub smartly with a piece of
buckskin until the foil becomes bril-
liant. Lay the glass upon table, face
downwards, place the foil upon the
back, lay a sheet of paper over the
foil, and place on it block Of wood or
q piece of marble with perfectly fiat
surface; put upon 1t enough weight to
press it down tight, and let 1t remain
In that position for few hours. The
foil win adhere to the glass. r.,

Here is a railroad ticket that ought
to be good for long journey, for it
is the most valuable ever issued. The
fact that 1t is only good for a ride
from Ogden to Salt Lake City de-
tracts nothing from it's costliness, for
the huge ticket, measuring II inches
by 2 feet, is printed on sterling silver!
This valuable document was pur-
chased by the Ogden Chamber Of
Commerce when the new Ogden
Union Depot there was opened with
official ceremonies. 1t was subse-
quently used on the Los Angeles Linz
tied between the two cities, where 1t
was honored and taken up by the con-
ductor, who couldn't punch it with
the tools available to conductors on
the crack Union Pacific train. It was
sent in in the regular procedure of
ticket auditing, albeit it came In a
crate instead of the customary en-
velope.
Inc ticket was bought as one OF the
ceremonies which formally opened
Ogden's new Union Depot, built at a
cost of 100000 to replace the historic
old depot, which was destroyed by
fire in February, 1928. The new struc-
ture is of the Italian Renaissance
type of architecture, and stands in
the center Of a five-acre tract given
to the Union Pacific by Brigham
Young many years ago when Utah
was first organized.
Fred M. Nye, president of the Og-
den Chamber Of Commerce, was its
purchaser, and after its use and au-
diting the big silver document will be
hung on the wall in the Ogden Cham
Der of Commerce offices.
