take the precaution of cutting off
those nuts which show a stage of

Wy Inc M Tcdtufe service
LONDON, Nov. 26.-sForbid-
den zones" are the aviator's buga-
boo in Europe today, and woe to
the transgressor! Each country
now has its list of areas closed to
ordinary flying-on penalty, in
some cases, of being shot down.
The forbidden areas include
military Notifications, munitions
factories and dumps, military
camps and airfields, and large
manufacturing centers. Interna-
tional frontiers especially are re-
stricted. Where not to fly is a
problem. Commercial planes are
across international from
tiers in narrow "air lanes"
No Mercy For Violators
It's a natural consequence
all these aerial traffic rules-of
a rearmed Europe where suspicion
runs high and where military Sc
crets must be safeguarded from
aerial photography.
Military planes police these
closed areas in some instances.
Ground crews with high-powered
glasses and electric ears" do the
rest. Penalties include heavy fines
Imprisonment. And avia-
tors go miles out of their way, to
seeking a destination, to avoid
these prohibited areas.
Narrow Lanes Into France
France provides a good example
of how severe the restrictions on
flying have become. The French
frontier is marked with forbidden
zones (notably the famous Magi-
not line of fortifications). Only
three narrow passages, in parts
only four miles wide, are open to
planes along the $50 miles of
French-German border.
The French-Ttalian border also
is heavily restricted to aviation,
there being but one small passage
way--three miles wide--at Mo-
dane. The Franco-BeIgium border
has four routes over which planes
may fly, and the short Franco
Luxembourg border is entirely
blocked off. The boundary line
with Spain is closed except for a
three-mile stretch at the western
end and a mile-and-a-half stretch
at the eastern end.
Daily Bulletins Posted
Central and Eastern Europe has
become a jigsaw puzzle for the
aviator. Not only must he watch
his maps with their marked out"
areas but bulletin boards as well
for daily announcements of ''ar-
tillery and anti-aircraft practice"
The Czech, Hungarian, Yugo-
slav and italian borders are closed
to casual flying and aviators may
cross these borders only at indi-
Gated places. Along the Czech and
Hungarian borders aviators must
keep within a five-kilometer lane !;
along Yugoslav and Italian bor-
ders, within a two-kilometer lane.
Few Restrictions In Britain
Austro-German and Austro-
Swiss borders are open. Germany,
however, has a large number of
prohibited zones, particularly
along the North Sea and Baltic
coasts, where new Notifications
have been constructed. One of
the largest of the fixed prohibi-
ted zones," into which no air
plane is permitted to penetrated
without permission of the military
authorities, is just west of the
Polish-German border, opposite
Poznan. Another large zone Is in

BIDS
CUT COST
Years Biggest Road Program
Launched-No Contracts
in This County.

Minnesota's largest highway construc-
ton program of 1887 swung underway
this week with the award of N w. Els
berg, state highway commissioner, of
81 ,586 ,4O5 in construction contracts, on
which close bidding drove cost prices
down to a figure almost three quarters
of million dollars below the depart
ment'S own estimates.
The awards called for immediate be-
ginning of construction work as of Mon
day of this week, on paving, bituminous
lsurfacing and bridge jobs in II counties.
All of the projects awarded were fed
eral aid projects, that is, they are to
be constructed out of federal and state
funds, matched on an equal basis, and
made available by the additional rev.
enue provided by the one-cent gas tax
increase enacted by the last legislature
The new jobs will place hundreds of
men at work through the contractors.
Paving bids alone were approximately
$650,000 less than the original cost
estimates on the jobs, and totalled
81 ,446, 436. Bituminous surfacing bids
totalled $89,184.72, and three bridges
$50, 78425.
The counties wherein contracts were
let were Ottertail, Lyon, Faribault
Houston, Murray, Pipestone, Waton-
wan, Wilkin, Crow Wing, Kittson, Wab-
asha and Stearns.
No bids were let for work in ST. Louis

and suffering greatly mitigated.
In the United States" continues Mr.
Knight, "the American Red Gross, act
ing in cooperation with the state and
local police, public utility and other
groups, has established 1900 first-aid
posts on through routes from coast to

ditional highway stations will soon be
complemented by mechanical army of

highway on motorcycle, in police radio

More than 5000 persons have al
ready received the required training to
serve at the highway firSt-aid posts.
At least two of the attendants of each
post must be certified, but in addition
nearby residents have taken advantage
of Red Cross technical training and this
has resulted in a community reserve

Monthly Collection System
To Start in October.

Interest amounting to $29,73O.48 has
been earned by the Minnesota Unem-
ployment Compensation Fund on de-
post with the United States Treasurer
in Washington.
This was reported to the state I'M
employment compensation division in
the June 80 statement of the treasurer,
according to Frank T. Starkey, Indus
trial Commission member in charge of
the division. The interest is added to
the states fund for eventual distribu-
ton to eligible unemployed workers in
the form of benefits. Benefit payments
will begin after January l, 1885,
The total of the state fund was
$685. ,404.98, as of August 10. Interest
added to the fund has accumulated
since collection Of contributions under
the state Unemployment Compensation
Law began last February.
The division now is preparing report
forms for the third quarter, having
abandoned previously announced plan
to collect contributions monthly begin
ming in July. Monthly contributions
will be collected beginning with the
month of october, with detailed re-
ports similar to those now in use re-
quired of employers on quarterly basis.
Employers who have failed to make
quarterly reports thus far this year
should do so Immediately to avoid in
creased penalty interest" Commissioner
Starkey warned. Interest is imposed
at the rate of one per cent per month
on contributions delinquent after one
month following the close of the
quarter"
