Roger Wolfe Kahn of New York Tues
day demonstrated that air mail can be

After two unsuccessful attempts, due
TO stiff cross winds, Kahn. at the con-
trolls Of q monoplane, swung a hook
into the catapulting machine and
darted away with two pouches weighing
a total Of 25 pounds. 1t was the first
time In the history of aviation that an
object had been picked up from the
roof Of a building by a heavier than
air craft, A. w. Card. engineer. who
perfected the pickup device. said.
Considerable interest in the device
was shown by Col. r. Y. Rhea. COM

Navy Yard who watched the tests. Col.
Rhea asked particularly whether light
enough device could be developed for
transportation on mule back, particu-

French hospitals. being state sup

Private Nurses Expensive.
Private nurses are expensive and are
mostly foreign.

q good view Of the nursing schools OF

In fact, at the end Of the eighteenth
century the largest hospital in Europe.
In those days it was refuge for the
aged and the insane as we'll as the sick,
but,also had a women's prison, complete
with underground cells and torture
chamber.
During the nineteenth century many
experiments were conducted at the SAL
petrriere with view to improving the
mentality of the insane, including treat
nent by music and the more successful
method OF employing the lunatic in
manual work. Nowadays the hospital
Is also a large experimental field, par
ticularly for the treatment OF nervous
