Times today I thought my eyes,
weakened by night work, had sud-
denly become stronger, until I saw
the announcement of the new type.
It's fine.
WALTER WHITE, Police Captain
The new type is a big improve
ment.
WILLIAM A. BOYCE JR.. City
Clerk-The new type is a striking
improvement and a great convent
ence to the busy man.
DIR. CARLTON M'CULLOCH-
The new type is much easier to
read and certainly more resting on
the eyes. In my opinion there is no
comparison, regarding reading ease,
between it and the old body matter.
Too, Think the clearness of it gives
the paper a far better appearance.
ROY E. DENNY, optometrist
with Werbe 81 Miessen, IS N.
Pennsylvania St-The new type is
fine. 1t is easier to read and makes
for less eye sctrain.
DIR. HERMAN G.. MORGAN, city
health board secretary-I believe
there is a marked improvement in
the new type face. 1t is more easily
read than the old type face and
causes less strain on the eye
muscles. Such type is more easily
focused. 1t stands out better be-
cause Of the heavier ink. The
change will enable persons to head
more rapidly and with greater
pleasure.
VIRGIL VANDAGRIFFT, works
board PRESIDENT like it.
CITY PURCHASING AGENT
JOHN ]. COLLINS-It's fine. I
was talking with Police Captain
Walter White and Lieut.. Fred
Drinkutt. They both believe it is
an improvement.
CITY CONTROLLER WILLIAM
c. BUSER-There is nc question
but what the new type is better.
WAYNE ENMELMAN, Works
Board Secretary-It's nice looking.
I like 1t much better.
CLAUDE MCCOY, Board of Safety
Secretary-That's fine stuff.
JOHN w. FRIDAY, Board Of
Works Member-It is much easier
for me to read.
MACKLIN MACK, City Plan
Commission Secretary-The new
type is an improvement over the
old style.
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT A. w.
BRAYTON-The new style reads
easier And I think it enables one
to read faster.
GRIER M. SHOTWELL, attor-
ney, 1011 Fletcher Savings and
Trust Bldg.-Its much better.
TRAFFICMAN PATRICK FOX
I like it fine.
E.. j. GAUSEPOHL. Leather
Goods Dealer, 80 w. Washington
St.-That is just what we need.
G. ]. LINDSAY, News Dealer,

should help persons forced to read
at night or under artificial light.

ment.
DIR. JOHN SLUSS, 9O1 New City

is certainly easier to read, and its
hosts of friends should appre-
ciate 1t.

u. s. AIR WAR
REMOTE. SAYS
FRENCH LEADER
Minister Paul PainIeVe Sees
Little Chance of Attack
on u. S.

BIZ Uuitcd Press
PARIS, June 7.-American isola-
ton is not endangered by the trans
Atlantic bridging accomplished by
the Spirit of st. Louis and the Co
lumbia, in the opinion of the
French Minister Of War Paul Pain
leve.
Double the present progress of
aviation will have to be made be-
fore armies can send out planes
from Europe or Asia to fly across
the Atlantic or Pacific and drop
their load of bombs, the war min
lister believes. A step before will
come passenger planes, flying across
the Atlantic with stops on floating
islands.
Multi-Planes Needed
1.-THE transatlantic plane Of the
future will be multimotored, multi
planed, sealed rocket offering
little resistance to the air flying at
heights unknown until now seeking
favorable winds and crossing from
New York to Paris within twenty
four hours, with a midocean stop"
M. Painleve declared in an exclusive
interview.
Passengers will never trust
themselves to transatlantic planes
unless some system of floating
islands has been devised.
ut need not be necessary for
America to fear attack from enemy
airplanes until the day when
engineers have developed much
stronger engines. 1t will be necessary
for such attacking planes to make
the rountrip fight to America.
Fuel Proves Problem
THAT means they will have TO
carry twice the load Of fuel as well
as the weight of bombs. To war
rant such an expedition, the bombs
must be carried in a great quantity,
which would necessitate a great
fleet Of planes, and they would ex-
pose themselves to your coast guns
and to your defending air feet.
Another method would be to use
planes carrying only sufficient fuel
for a single crossing of the ocean
and taking more bombs. These
planes would drop their explosives
and then make landing and the
aviators surrender, but such a
process would soon weaken the
strength of the attacking air
forces"

READERS LIKE NEW
EASY-TO-READ TYPE

Scores of Times readers Tuesday
expressed their approval and appre-
citation of The Times new style,
Ionic No. 5. Among the expressions
are:
L. WILLIS BUGBEE, Director
Scientific Division, Continental OPP
teal Corporation, graduate in optics
at oxford University-The Times
has made a beautiful improvement.
Your new type is very legible and
easy to read. Newspaper type is
difficult to read at best. 1t is so
often done under unfortunate or
adverse circumstances. The object
is to make this as easy as possible.
What is needed is more blackness
and you have accomplished this. Il
is a psychological and scientific fact
that it is height and not width of a
letter that determines reliability.
Making your type darker without
increasing the width makes reading
easier. For persons with poor eyes
and elderly persons it is particular
ly advantageous. The new type of
The Times is such an obvious i'm
provement that I can not under
stand why it was not made long
ago.
REPRESENTATIVE FRANK
WRIGHT, Author of the Wright
"Bone-Dry" Law-The new type is
great aid to sight. I read The
Times so strenuously that I more
than welcome the improvement. Be-
sides its increased legibility being
easier on the eyes, 1t makes for
rapid reading. This is also a boon,
for I find myself reading two
editions day, and that takes time.
STATE AUDITOR L. S. BOW
MAN-The new type is asgreat i'm
provement. 1t would seem to be in
line with The Times policy of max
ing better paper daily.
EARL COBLE. Newspaper Pub
Usher and Chief Of the Securities
Division of the Secretary of States
/ Office-This is the first time that
I have seen the new type with a
seven point on eight point base. 1t
looks better and reads easier than
anything I ever have seen.
FRED GLADDEN., Assistant Sup
erintendent of Public Instruction
The new type looms up splendidly
along side the old. 1t should be a
great aid to those who have had
difficulty with newspaper reading
because OF their sight.
CHAIRMAN JOHN ]. BROWN of
the State Tax Board-This type
certainly does put The Times in the
well-dressed class. 1t is pleasure
to read, because Of increased legi-
bility.
OUNTY COMMISSIONER
| GEORGE SNIDER-The new type
appeals more to me.
COUNTY COMMITS SIONER
CASSIUS L. HOGLE-I like the
old type, although glancing at the
new it might seem easier to read.
The old style makes a heater page.
I like the type more compact.
FRANK GREEN, COURT BAIL
IFF-I would rather read the old.
1t is much easier for me to follow
smaller type.
EDWARD HOLL, 1108 E. Palmer
St-The new type is much more
attractive and I find it easier to
read.
THOMAS CHENEY, COURT
CLERK-Because it is easier to
read and looks better, I like the
new type.
DETECTIVE JESSE M'MURTRY
Il favor the new type.
/ DEPUTY PROSECUTOR JOHN
L. NI3LACK-I do not like the
new type. The old was much better,
I think. I didn't recognize The
Times printed in the new type
ARTHUR DINSMORE, City Pros
ecuocr-I like the new type, 1t
matches the type used on afidavits
Better and is, therefore, easier for

Cement : Water Mix
ture In Cameron
Roads Cheap

The eement~water ratio law,
through the application Of which
Cameron county is saving approx
fmateIy $1,000 per mile in the on
atruction Of concrete highways, was
discussed In detail nc the meeting Of
the Valley Engineers at the Browns
vile Chamber Of Commerce Satur-
day night. Forty-two engineers and
contractors were present.
w. q. Washington, Cameron coun-
" engineer, stated that Cameron
county is using approximately one
sack Of cement less per cubic yard OF
concrete than called for IN the state
specifications and is producing con-
crete Of an average compressive
strength OF 1000 pounds, 1000
pounds greater than required In the
state Specifications. Approximately
5 1-2 sacks Of cement is used TO the
cubic yard, and a rigid control is
maintained on the water mixture,
using approximately 5 gallons Of
wakar 20 the sack Of cement.
r. G. Davis, assistant county en-
1ineer, called attention 70 the fact
that close cooperation beween the
contractor and engineers Is necessary
% prevent any variation in the mix
ture. The sand and gravel must be
uniform. the water mixture rigidly
controlled and numerous tests are
essential.
Guy Cornet Of Houston, engineer
for the Portland Cement Co., exhibit
ed a chart explaining the cement
water ratio law. He stated that the
law was rigid, and that after the ra-
ito for the required strength has
been established either increasing or
decreasing the volume of water Will
l%essening the strength. He explain
ed how the workability % the mix
ture could be increased for various
types Of concrete construction and
still maintain the desired strength.
J. c. Shaw, engineer for the Mer-
cedes Concrete Pipe Co, stated they
had ascertained that the control Of
the water mixture improved the
quality Of pipe. but that In the manu-
facture OF concrete pipe the slimit Is
very narrow and that IL is essential
that a dry mix be used in order that
the pipe will stand up after being re-
moved from the mold.
