PATRICK PREDICTS
SAFE AIR TRAVEL
Army Air Chief Says Dirigi'
bIes Will Take Passengers
Overseas in 3 Years.

Mai. Gen. Mason NJ. Patrick, chief
OF the Army Air Service, gave an inn
pressive idea of the modern develop
ments and of his expectations of the
future in aircraft at an illustrated
lecture at the University Club last
night.
Two reels of moving pictures were
shown illustrating what modern de-
velopments have produced in the field.
Gen. Patrick explained the purpose
and to what advantage each of the
different makes of machines is used.
He pointed out that speed is the most
desired objective both in commercial
and wartime planes and dirigibles.
He said that in case of war air
craft would play n leading role, and
that the only way to combat an air
craft attack was with an aircraft de-
fense. Should an enemy wish to at
tack the National Capital, no land
force could defend it. The speaker
pointed out that if an enemy ship
should come within 100 miles of the
coast and a bombing plane were to be
sent out from it, a flight of only 260
miles would bring the plane over the
Capitol building, and unless met with
Stresses Commercial Value.
AS a commercial value Gen. Patrick
said the airplane would come more
and more into use. Pictures were
shown Of the use of planes in fighting
the boil weevil in the cotton areas.
Because of the time saving value of
flying. people will come to use the
planes for passenger as well as freight
carriers in the near future, he said.
Referring to safety in the air, he
said that in the last six years statis-
tics showed that air travel is seven
times as safe now as it was at the
beginning of that period He pre-.
dicted that within three years there
would be a regular passenger service
between Europe and the United States.
This, according to the speaker, will
come as a result of the development
of the dirigibles, which, he said, are
safer for flying over long distances of
water than the other forms of air
craft. Safety also is becoming as
sured by the marked improvement in
parachutes.
l.. S. Farthest Advanced.
Gen. Patrick told the gathering
that the United States is as far, if not
farther, advanced in this work than
any other country. Army and Navy
experiments along these lines have
put the United States in the van of
the other nations. He said there are
approximately 5000 privately owned
aircraft in the country, which exceeds
any other country by good margin.
Commissioner Dougherty in intro.
ducing the speaker praised Maj. Gen.
Patrick. who will retire from his office
December 13, for his notable work
since being given charge of the Army
air forces.

STATION MASTER LENDS
HIS NAME TO PRINCE
Correspondence Of tho Associated Press.


LONDON.-William Joseph Joslin,
who is retiring as stationmaster at
the Liverpool Street station after As
years of railroading, enjoys the unique
distinction of having lent the Prince
of Wales his name-not once, but a
number of times.
THE Prince" he explains, lis very
fond of quiet travelling. l have often
reserved carriages for him, sometimes
in my own name and other times in
those of other people"
Joslin was in charge OF the Liver
pool Street station during the war
when it was twice bombed by German
aircraft. In 1917 several persons were
killed and two trains set on fire.
Joslin has met all the members of
the royal family, who go to the sta
ton on their way to Sandringham.

Device to Measure
Molten Metals Heat

No thermometer could ever be ex
pected to record the temperature Of
furnaces or of great masses of molten
metal although the development Of
science along these lines has made
it very necessary to determine the
degree of heat in furnaces and con-
tanned in masses of metal, such as
huge steel billets and great cubes of
iron.
The discovery that two different
kinds of metal welded together pro-
duced a current Of electricity was the
means of inventing means whereby
there can be determined the quantity
of heat, no matter how intense. The
current is measured by the voltage
and certain temperatures produce GER
tain values in electrical strength, and
that is the way the amount of heat
is measured in degrees of heat, and
this has been found to be accurate.
The principle is applied In device
known as the radiation pyrometer. 1t
can stand at a considerable distance
from the furnace or mass Of molten
metal that is being tested and it will
record the internal heat conditions
accurately. 1t is an aid to better steel
and iron products, and as the world
progresses it will be recorded as one
Of the great agencies of man to enable
him to delve into the mysteries of

Bishops Best Efforts Didn't Please Critic

George Doran, the publisher. was
talking about a book which a critic
had roasted.
"The critic knew the author, they
were critics together" he said, land
familiarity breeds contempt. It's
like the story of Bill Stroud }r.
"a bishop, you know, was fishing
in Pike county, and Bill Stroud was
his guide. Bill. impressed with the
bishops skill, asked him carelessly
one day what he did for living.
81 PREACH said the bishop.
"'Gnaw,' said Bill. 'Gnaw. Come
awf.'
"'Yes, that's right. I'm a preacher
"'Gnawp
swell. the upshot of it was that the
bishop, nettled by Bills incredulity,
specially invited the guide to come to
New York to hear one of his sermons.
Bill went.
'The occasion was, of course, big
one, for bishops don't preach at or
binary times, as everybody knows.
The church was decorated with palms
and flowers. The music was superb.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1927-10-21

And the bishop In his lawn sleeves
preached his very best. his eye every
now and then seeking out Bill Stroud
who sat stiff and silent and cold In a
front pew.
"At the end of the service the bish
op hurried down the aisle, and, brush
ing millionaire after millionaire out
of the way, he shook Bills hard, sun
burnt hand eagerly.
"'Bill,' he said, Bill, old man, what
do you think of me as a preacher
avail, friend said Bill, with an
embarrassed laugh, 4 amt no Jedge
of this kind O. thing, but l sot the
show through the best knowed how.

to you, I'd say Providence intended We

too tired"
faint tinge Of Indignation ap-
peared in Sally's cheeks.
81 am not tired at ALL" she said.
Sara helped her into the cab, smiled,
blew kiss and was gone to her
luncheon. And the cab started back
toward Washington avenue. Sally,
bObbing alone on the seat, thought of
the black hat and gown and coat
which would presently be'delivered to
her. Tomorrow she would appear In
them at church. but aside from a.
slightly uncomfortable feel about the
new things she would not know they
were new and neither would anybody
else. .-
The cab stopped suddenly. They
were in pocket and traffic was at
Standstill.
The cab door opened and a boy
thrust bunch of blossoms from the
basketful upon his arms in upon the
little old lady. ..
"Arbutus, lady?' he cried.
"Arbutusl" Sally leaned forward
to take the flowers from him. The de-
liciOus fragrance and rosiness brought
smile to her lips, sparkle to her
eyes. She fumbled In her bag, found
bill and gave it to the boy, shaking
her head at his "Change, lady?" She
had given him two dollars-but no
matter. The flowers were worth 1t.
Pressing the bouquet to her face she
breathed deeply of the enticing spirit
of the season. She knew how the
flowers grew, she had hunted them in
her youth. Sam had given her a bas-
ketful once when he was counting her.
Pink! She loved it. Oh, the hats she
had smothered with pink roses! The
frocks she had like rosy clouds! Sam
had loved pink and delighted in her
wearing it. She had had none since
he died.
take off that old dead crow!" She
fairly jumped as if he had spoken in
her ear. Yes, that was what he would
have called this hat she was wearing
and that other one which she would
have to wear.
Traffic was moving, the chauffeur
was reaching for his gear-shift. Sally
leaned forward and spoke loudly!
take me back to Blandon's please"
He took her back.
Next morning a little old lady
walked happily and gracefully into st.
Paul's church to hear the sermon. She
wore a black hat wreathed with pink
flowers demurely misted with lace, she
wore lavender gown and she wore a
smile of almost girlish abstraction.
If Sam could only see her!

Milk as Ideal Food

On behalf of the British Medical
Research society, series of expert
ments covering four years has been
made on some growing children in a
founding asylum. The children were
divided into groups and each given a
different diet in order to determine
which foods tended to show the best
results on the physique, that is, which
group made the greatest gains in
weight and height. This investiga-
ton has demonstrated that the addi-
ton of pint of milk per day to the
ordinary ration of food brought up
the yearly average in weight from
3.S5 pounds to Cos pounds and in
creased the gain in height from 1.S4
to 2.63 inches.
