Open Coffin to Take
Buddy's Finger Prints

A coffin was opened recently at
Pueblo, Colo, just as the grave yawned
to receive it, to get the finger prints of
d former service man to accompany his
application for adjusted compensation.
Friends of John McNichol, of Durango,
Colo, were grouped about the grave
when an automobile drove up and a
group of American Legion men stepped
from it. They made known their re-
quest which was complied with.
During his last hours McNichors
friends made out his application papers
for compensation. He was so weak
that he could only affix a scrawled
mark to the papers in the presence of
witnesses. AT the last minute it was
discovered that his finger prints had not
been obtained and the posthumOus fin.
ger prints were taken.

To Bar Section0lisn1
in Teaching History

At a recent conference of the ma.
tionai executive committee of the
American Legion, the committee en-
dorseo the movement for the publica-
ton of a popular history of the United
States, which will be non-partisan and
non-sectarian and will have the back
ing of more than 800 history experts.
The editor is Charles f. Horne Of
New York university, late of the A. E
F. The purpose is to do away with
sectionalism in the teaching of history.
Legionnaires point out that today there
are hundreds of histories. and children
in different sections of the country are
being taught history colored ly local

AIRPLANES TO HAVE
WONDERFUL SPEED
Scientists Promise Great
Things for the Future.

Our new air age promises to be a
hlgh-nying age. The 100 miles an hour
OF present type airplanes will, it is
considered, be exceeded greatly by
adapting machines so that they can
take full advantage of the lessened
resistance of the air at high attitudes.
Before long we may look back on
nylng machines of today, driving a
iaborious way through retarding lower
air, with that same pity with which
traveller in the blue and gold Riviera
express would let his thoughts wan
der back to the times when. sitting
in open trucks, the first railway trav-
elers jolted along with cinders from
the engine blowing into their faces.
Wonderful results are rewarding an
eight-years' research in sending air.
planes up to high attitudes and there
making them fly miles an hour faster
than would be possible in dense air
near the worlds surface, writes Har-
ry Harper in the London Contempt
rary Review.
What science is profiting by now
are experiments, prosecuted assiduous-
ly, in perfecting "turbo-conlpressor,"
or light, small, high-speed turbine, the
function of which is to "supCrcharge"
the engine of high-hying plane.
What latest triumphs imply is vir-
tual abandonment of flying near the
earth'S surface, and an elevation of
regular aerial movement miles above
our heads. Hitherto planes flying at
great heights have failed to profit in
speed from the leSSened air resistance
of high attitudes because their motors
have fallen away. in power. But the
''turbo-compressor" supplies the en-
CINE with high altitude air at such
pressure that the thinness of This air,
as compared with low altitude air, Is
compensated for, and the engine pre-
serves its power even at great heights.
In recent experiments remarkable
results have been achieved, not only
with supercharged engines, but also
with prOpellers having variable angle
blades designed to function efficiently
at immense attitudes. Sending up
planes till they have been miles high,
experts have been able lately to in
crease their normal speed by more
than thirty miles an hour.
Scientifically, the quest now pro-
ceeds along the following lines: Ex-
periments are to be made in increas-
ing still farther the height of super
charged" flying, while another research
will be to design and perfect saloons
in which passengers can be carried
through the air at enormous heights
and speeds. Such saloons will be sup
piled automatically, under pressure,
with air rendered just as breathable
as that at low attitudes.
Scientists, enthusiastic as to the pos
sibilities of immensely rapid flying
through thin air at vast heights, now
predict that researches will eliminate
in the institution of regular super
express" airways, miles high, along
which globe-girdling craft will hurtle
at go and 300 miles an hour.

Rubber Fruit

The luscious tropical fruits in a
fully ripened state soon may appear on
distant markets with each piece of
fruit incased in rubber composition
known as latex.
Fruit dipped in the compound while
it is warm retains all the original
flavor Strawberries, considered diff
cult fruit to handle unless picked when
very green, have been shipped half
way around the world in latex.
The coating of rubber shuts out all
the air, preventing any decomposition
of the fruit. The latex becomes brittle
when cold and is easily removed from
the fruit

the recreational and industrial pos

that the quota will be raised wy

The raising of the fund is in

the committee. In addition to Mr..
Rothman eleven others have signi-

the state in actual wealth than any
other industry because the vacation
list and summer tourist brings money
into the state and takes nothing out
but pleasant memories, while dairy

before any money can come back.
The Ely Commercial Club is MAX
ing all arrangements for putting on
an excellent display at this EXPOSE
ton. Last year Ely had fine rs
play which attracted more attention
than any other made there and the
direct results attained in tourist
traffic from Illinois, Iowa, Michigan,
