newer homes of Georgian design
have picked up the outstanding good
points of the modern trend, notably
the large window areas. They are
made bright and CHEEKY inside, in
contrast to the colonial houses of

Rome to Nelu York
In Is Hours Seen
Sikorsky Predicts Speedy
Airplane Service.

NEW YORK.-Flights from New
York to Rome in Is hours, around
the world junkets in a week, and
hops to the North pole in two or
three days in "fying yachts" within
10 years were predicted by Igor
Sikorsky, noted American plane de-
signer.
'At the very latest by $780," said
Sikorsky, 'there will be regular
passenger flights across the Allan
TIC"
The giant flying boats, he said,
will carry 80 to 100 persons, have
six motors of $500 horsepower each
and fly at $50 to 400 kilometers an
hour. They will carry 80 tons of
gasoline.
"The idea of having intermediate
stops at floating islands must be
abandoned. They only cause loss
of time. The flight must be accom-
plished in one hop, let us say, from
New York to Brest, France.
"The crossing will be made at a
height of three or four thousand
kilometers to eliminate the neces-
sity of compression cabins. It is OBJ
vious why large machine is need
ed. The space is increased, the
passengers have more room and on
long trip there is need of move
ment and freedom"
Sikorsky declared the future of
aviation lies in the large ships.
'They are safer and speedier than
the small ones," he said.
II believe that the pioneering era
of aviation is well over. 1t was fin
ished for good with the flight of
Colonel Lindbergh across the At
lantic. The Lindbergh flight has
had an enormous influence on the
development of transcontinental
aviation.
ION the basis of that flight and
the experience of others who have
followed him it is now possible to
inaugurate regular TRANSATLANTIC
SERVICE" the plane designer said.
With regular passenger service
across the Atlantic in 1889, Sikorsky
said, Commercial aviation reaches
its full maturity"
Sikorsky, while conceding that
sub-stratosphere flying will be uti-
lized, doubted if the bulk of COM
mercial flying would be on this level
because Of lack of information of
complications which might be en-.
countered" in that region.

RURAL U. s. GOING DRY

Rural America is climbing back
aboard the water wagon with such
rapidity, after five years of repeal
that at least quarter of the ma
tons chartered communities will be
under prohibition again by next fall
This statement is based on the
results of a survey just annouced by
the Country Home Magazine, ma
tional farm publication.
Despite intensive campaigning
by the liquor interests urging tenn
perance," the magazine states, land
heavy pressure brought to bear by
numerous state liquor monopolies
more than 5000 towns had, at the
end of 1898, used the local option
privilege provided by the repeal ref
endum to ban the sale of alcohol
within their limits.
Including the $500 communities
in the five states that prohibit dis
titled liquors, the new dry roster
will easily pass the 10000 mark by
next December.
The new prohibition comes on
apace despite the legal and moral
dams erected to hold it in check.
Rural America is going quietly, un-
spectacularly dry, concludes the
article.

Demand for Meat as Old
AS Most Ancient People

In the story of food, meat is Of
prime Importance. For thousands
OF years, men have eaten meat,
bought meat, traded for meat, hunt
ed for meat, and fought for meat.
The demand for meat is as old
as the human race. Old China en-
joyed roast pork and sausages be-
fore the dawn of the Christian era.
In all countries, meat is a highly
valued article of food.
We Americans are hearty meat
eaters. 1t takes 142 pounds of meat
each year, per person, to satisfy us.
More than At per cent of this meat
is pork and 48 per cent is beef and
veal. Poultry and eggs, too, are
produced on nearly 100000 farms
of this country. to the extent of bill
lions of pounds, asserts an authori-
ty in the Wisconsin Agriculturist.
In our plans for securing sup
ply of meat, we have come a long
way from the time when the head of
the house went out with club or
spear to hunt the wild game. The
gigantic job of supplying meat for
our table is so carefully planned
and these plans so completely and
thoroughly carried through that we
scarcely realize what a tremendous
business it is.
During recent years, the census
of manufacturers lists the meat
packing industry as first or second
in the United States in every report
issued.
In all the ages, our savage fore
fathers, their more enlightened de-
scendants, and our nearer pioneer
grandfathers found no more impor-
tant work. than how to find food
and how to carry it back to the
home cave, or hut, or cabin. We
either directly or indirectly, spend
most of our time solving the same
problem.

Geo PROJECTS IN sTATR

In the year ending March 81,
1899, State Forester r. w. Besley
reports, eight CCC camps under his
Jurisdiction put in total of 247,-
$40 man-days ON the development
and protection of State forests and
parks. On the basis of $3.50 per
man-day, this represents an expendi-
ture for labor of 1911, $4,000. Be-
sides this, the Government spent
during the year for materials and
supplies and for salaries of the sup
ervisory force the sum of approx
mately 5000, 100000, while other
sums were expended by the Army
for, necessary items of camp opera
ton. Danger that these camps would
be closed because of failure on the
part of the State to provide for the
maintenance of CCC projects upon
completion was averted wren the
last Legislature, at the request of
Governor O'Conor, appropriated
money for the purpose.
Work on two important CCC rec
reational projects, one at Herring
ton Manor on the Swallow Falls
State Forest, made satisfactory pro-
gress during the year, the State
Forester says. Each comprises an
artificial lake, rustic cabins and
other recreational structures, along
with water supply and sewage dis
posal systems. A third recreational

nual contribution to the protection
of public and private property in
Maryland.
