MAKING TRAVEL BY AR SAFE Wireless Telephone Will Do Much to Insure Speedy Mail Deliveries. BRITISH EXPERTS AT WORK When New System |s Working Prop- erly Pilots Will Be In Constant Touch With Ground by Means of Wireless. London.—WIill the aerial mail serv- ice, when Its organization has been improved, still continue to be inter- rupted by such adverse weather as during the past week prevented on several days the flylng of the mall machines between London and Paris? Asked this question the other day by a representative of the London Times, Holt Thomas, whkose high speed bl- planes carry the London-Paris malil, replied with an emphatic “no.” At present, he explained, we are flying daily over what is, to a large extent, still an unorganized route; and it is no exaggeration at all to say that when all the organization which we are busily preparing is brought ac- tually into play, as it will be before we have to encounter another winter, such conditions as prevented Lieuten- ant McMullin from getting through to Paris on the first day of the air mail last Monday will have no ad- verse effect at all on the flying of a machine, either from the point of view of safety or of adhering to scheduled time. Wireless telegraphy will help us enormously and we have now the services of one of the most practical experts in this country, who 18 con- centrating his attention exclusively on the question as to how directional wireless and the wireless telephone may be made to help us in regular daily flying and to overcome such difficulties as at present cause delay. Information for Plane Pilot. When we have this system working properly it will mean that during our hours of flying, say from 12 o’clock to 4 p. m, every land operator will be listening for messages from the air and a pilot having set out say from Hounslow, and wishing to know ex- actly what the weather is like in the channel, will simply take up his re- celver and call “Hello, Lympne.” All the other stations on the airway will hear, but only Lympne will reply, and in a moment the pilot will be given the information he requires. It will also be quite easy for one pilot to speak to another while two machines are In flight. ' In each machine, also, we shall place a light telescopic mast. This will be jointed and wlll lie in the fuselage without taking up any room. But should a pilot have to make a compulsory descent he will on alight- ing take out hls mast, Joint it together and place the ‘“aerial” of his wire- less telephone on the top of it. Then, when he has raised this mast and stuck the end of it In the ground— it will be about 30 feet high when fully extended—he will be able to call up the nearest acrodrome on his wire. less telephone and tell them just what fleld he is down in and what his. trouble is. In such a ease. if a man ecannot ascend again quickly, we shall send another machine to him from the nearest relief point. which will take on his mails. We shall soon have a system, both on the English and French sections of the route. whereby a pilot who has a forced landing can get into touch immediately with the nearest land agent of the service, who will tnke over his mails at once and send them on their way in a fast mo- ; toreycle. < The point Is now demonstrated very clearly that with a skillful pilot and a fast machine the only sort of at- mospheric conditions which seriously interrupts flying is such as we en- counter sometinies on a bad November day, when an opaque mist, beginning almost at ground level, may extend upward. in an unbroken mass, to an altitude of something like 10,000 feet. Hurtling Through the Fog. A pilot in an airplane, flying on through n thick mist, is as unhappy as a pedestrian in a dense fog—only more so. Not only is there the ques- tlon of finding his way, but he is faced also by the embarrassing fact that, through not being able to turn his eye upon any horizon line, he can- | not judge the altitude. or Inclination of his machine in relation to the ground below, with the result that he may get into a side slip or spin and find suddenly that his machine has passed out of his control—a condition of affairs which- may spell extreme peril. Then we expect very soon to have improved considerably the instru- ments in a machine which tell its pilot its altitude and Inclination when he is deprived by fog or cloud of a horizon line. Then, as yet another point, we are working on the question of lighting aerodomes and landing grounds so that a pilot can make a safe contact with the ground even when the air is heavily obscured. This 1s, of course, a point of capital fmportance. It is not enough to guide a man accurately while he 18 flying in misty weather. You must be able to insure him also a safe ;alighting. i 3 K i WORKERS DEMONSTRATE.

Sulphur Recipe and No- body Will Know The use of Sage and Sulp}.mr for restoring faded, gray hair to its nat- ural color dates back to grandmoth- ‘er's time. She used it to keep her i hair beautifully dark, glossy and at- itractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appear- ance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com- pound,” you wil get this famous old preparation, improved by thg addi- tion of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. i A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, it be- comes beautifully dark and glossy.
