PAGE EIGHT SPEEDY WINDS AID IN LONG AIR FLIGHTS Believe Coast to Coast Flight Possible in Near Future THINK SLOWLY Altitude Depends Upon En- durance of Human and Not Airplane Chicago, Aug. 17.—A 12 hour non- stop airplane flight from the west coast to the east coast is not an im- probability, and there is every rea- son to believe that this remarkable flight will be realized within a short time, according to Major R. W. Sch- former holder of altitude , and one of the first aviators ascend to a height of more than 38,000 fect. tiate the distance between ciseo and New York in this short time, the aviator must ascend to a height of more than 30,000 feet in order to get into what is called the anti-trade winds,” Major Schroeder snid in explaining his theory of the flight. “These winds blow at a velo- city in excess of 100 miles an hour and with the ald of the plane motor humming at a speed, say 160 miles an hour, the flight can be accomplished, providing that all conditions are fav- orable.” Major Schroeder pointed out that the higher a flyer goes the slower his mental faculties function. “Experiments have been going on for more than a year,” he said, “with a compartment which_is impregnable to the admittance of air through any but an authorized channel. By at- taching this channel to the super- charge of an airplane engine, the air in this compartment can be kept at a level equal to that from which the aviator started. In case of any dis- organization of this system, an oxy- gen tank has been placed in the com- partment, The mechanical devices on this tank start operating as soon as the air in the compartment reach- es a certain low point, and in this way adverse conditions within are dissipated.” Major Schroeder, the aviator who fell six miles and lived to tell about it, explained that the construction of the compartment was of very light wood but that its durability has been tested. The compartment has a tri- thickness of glass, and is fairly com- Ex-Finance Minister Friends of ex-Chancellor Cuno be- lieved he would have saved his ad- ministration had he renounced Herr Becker (above), minister of finance, along with others.

The touching of es, semi-em- braces and excess of muscular re- sponse to overdone syncopation are now taboo in virtually every dance hall in America, said Mr, Bott. Men and women have swung back to the human normal of propriety and good taste, he said. “The most undesirable of jazz danc- ing was the result of adding a dreamy oriental atmosphere to highly synco- pated music,” continued Mr, Bott. “It is almost impossible properly to su- pervise dancing when the time of the selection is broken up by a’ gréat number of beats. When the jazziest of music is played, it is hardly pos- sible for the dancers not to respond. “Improper deportment on the floors of dancing schools and public halls fortable within, he said. “The altitude a person can reach now depends on human endurance and not so much upon the calibre of the airplane,” the aviator continued, “My altitude flight before I retired from the army was not to see how high I could fly but to discover what plane could best be used for photographic purposes. That was the main thought when I first ascended into the air. “During the flight I was blown considerably off my course and it was then that I thought of the pos- sibility of the west to east coast flight with the aid of the anti-trade winds, which blow west to east. I think it is possible, and that it will not be long before the country will be startled with such an actual ac- complishment.” MYSTERY MAN LIVES ALONE Ushant, Finistere, France, Aug. 17. —There is one Frenchman to whom the high cost of living, the precar- ious existgnce of the Entente Cor- diale and the occupation of the Ruhr mean nothing, and that is Bastiat de Kerlivio, who has found perfect peace and quiet on the island of Kell- er, the smallest of the group of is- lands of which Ushant, 27 miles from Brest, is the largest. Here M. de Kerlivio lives the tifa of a modern Robinson Crusoe, grow- ing his own vegetables, living on fish from the sea, and in every way sup- plying his own needs. The inhabit- has become a rarity in the lagt three years, The campaign conducted by the National Association of Dancing Mas- 3 for clean dancing is partly, re- sponsible for the change. It also is to be credited to the peaple themselves. “Private clubs and cafes have been beyond the influence of the. gsso- ciation, and in these privileged’ pla- ces jazz dancing in the extreme may still prevail, but the bulk of the na- tion's dancers, those who attend schools and, public halls, are dancing with as much modesty, propriety end Teserve as ever was seen in the flaye of the waltz, polki their running’ mates. “The waltz, will never be dropped and the two-step is still with. us in the fox-trot, but I believe what 13 known as the new school of dancing has come to stay. “The west has adopted the reform more quickly and perhaps more thor- oughly than the east.” Dancing!

E. Gorman of the Rock. Island, as one which may do much toward the dissipation of the vexing “railroad problem” of the day. The prob- lem; Mr. Gorman, believes, "is largely accounted for by the fact that through the years thousands of citizens have uired prejudices sgsinst railroads, because of the ac- tions of “hard boiled” station agents, conductors, claim adjusters and treck workers. The new order will be aimed “to make a friend at every contact.” With minor sources of irritation removed, Mr. Gorman believes, much eriticism of the railroads will van- ish. “No one spikes his friend” is the axiom on which the railway chief founds his new pro; It is hoped through public friendships to. give the road tle status of a human be- ften,” Mr. arman declared, in placing the new policy before "the 40,000 employes of the road, “rail- ronds are summarily classed as ‘un- desirable citizens’ because of harp answer to the hapless'traveler seek- ing to learn whether his town is on railroad or city time; or the vague ‘we'll look ‘er up’ to the perplexed farmer who has lost a pig enroute. “And once we have lost a friend,” he explaingd, “there is ne end to the damage we suffer for our penalty. Persons thus displeased harbor their recollections against railroads gener- ally, are willing ears for the worst that may be of said of us in every regard, and add thir own story in passing on the terrible picture. “All this may be overcome merely by showing good humor and courtesy ut all times.
