CHICAGO NEW YORK (Official City, State and County Newspaper) A MILE IN 10 SECONDS Lieutenant Alford Williams, the U. S. navy's crack | speed flyer, has a new seaplane of unique design in! which he is going to try to break the world speed record j of 318 miles per hour at the international speed races in BOSTON ~» England in September. It is reported that he will try to reach a speed of 400 miles per hour in his tiny plane, nearly all of which ts motor and which looks a lot like an overgrown mos- ‘The little ship is said to be the fastest airplane ever built. It is of 1100 horespower and weighs only four pounds to the horespower, a ratio never before achieved. It has a 24-cylinder motor with 48 sparkplugs, four car- buretors and four distributors. The wings are so tiny in Proportion to the motor that if the engine stopped the ship would fall like a plummet, as it could not glide. In Other words, it has to go through the air like a bullet, mostly on its momentum. It has a minimum speed of 100 miles per hour, meaning that Lieutenant Williams must land and take off at a speed greater than the maximum of most planes. This makes landing on the water especially dangerous, be- cause if a pontoon struck even a small piece of drift- ‘wood at this terrific speed there might be a disaster. Four hundred miles per hour is approximately six and one-half miles per minute, or a mile every 10 seconds. Consider a speed like that; consider how much even the slightest misjudgment of direction or altitude on Lieuten- ant Williams’ part would mean. In the time required to bat an eye he might be nundreds of feet off his course. He might crash before his brain could react on his! muscles to shift the controls. It’s interesting, all right—and it will be heroic and thrilling if he does it. The test may add to the knowl- @dge of airplane design and of motors and thereby ben- efit aviation. ‘We fail to see where very much is going to be accom- Plished for aviation by a stunt like this, but we can’t but admire Lieutenant Williams for his courage and the tremendous risk he will assume in making the attempt. If he succeeds in breaking the record in this frail, bullet- like plane on which the experts have labored so long, it will not be because of the machine, but because there was a man who was daring enough to fly it. ‘We wish him well; we hope he makes it. It’s going to be a thrilling attempt and his bravery should be re- warded with success. But, after all, it will be only a stunt and—succeed or fail—of slight value to sane, sound, common-sense, busi- nesslike commercial aviation. LARGEST AND FASTEST ‘The “bigger and better” building activities, of which there seems to be @ plethora just at the moment, is not confined only to office buildings, aircraft, automobiles and circuses. Shipbuilding for the Atlantic passenger service has a “bigger and better” war of its own. Like the Leviathan when it slipped down the ways, the Bremen, which recently broke the speed record for a ‘westerly voyage across the Atlantic, is a “bigger and bet- ter” vessel. The Europa, soon to take the water after &@ damaging fire in the last stages of its completion, is still “bigger and better.” In England the Cunard and White Star lines are building and planning new vessels to be distinguished for both size and speed. America is also entered in the contest, the company now operating the Leviathan having announced a pro- gram of shipbuilding which will put a new super-ship in the Atlantic passenger service each year beginning next year. This is gratifying news to Americans, who as long 4s American tourist dollars are building and operating. these leviathans of the sea would like to s¢e some of them flying Old Glory. It now seems that if the United States is ever again te have @ merchant marine worthy of the name and the country the impetus will be given by the profitable trans- atlantic passenger service. A TARIFF PROBLEM Democratic leaders in the senate vow they will fight to the last ditch the reported purpose of the :gnate finance Committee to create some form of domestic valuation as basis for rates in the new tariff bill.

And in coastal bom bardments the su; reacnaught is by experts re- garded as having been made obsolete by coast-defense and aviation development. All world powers will effect savings in the millions for themselves if they can agree upon preserving the present proportions or to scrapping capital ships altogether. Two scoundrels have been arrested by the police for entering a+ Massachusetts ball park and stealing the bases. It is felt, however, that the best detectives would be unable to connect the Red Sox with this outrage. the fact that few Italians succeed in,escaping, and some- body will go to jail for ignoring the Two-spot’s com- mand to produce cannon fodder. If every corporation whose stock is listed on the mar- ket is making 100 per cent annually, the stock market should continue its upward trend for at least a year.

Now again France gives the <vorld an object lesson. ‘Though one of the victors in the World war, France emerged a heavy loser. regions had been overrun, her factories gutted, her mines flooded. The flower of her young manhood was either slain or crippled. The nation was burdened again with heavy debt, and heavy taxes were necessary. The cur- rency was depreciated and investments of the people almost wiped out. Yet statistics now show that Frenchmen have five billion dollars on deposit in their savings banks, and of this a billion and a half were added last year. For every thousand of population, there are 202 savings deposits, or one for every family of five. It is a magnificent recovery. Americans may be dollar chasers, but in salting the \ dollars down, the French peasant and the bourgeoisie can give-them lessons any day. NEW YORK IN 1965 (Detroit News) A regional plan committee has spent seven years and a million dollars trying to visualize the future of New York City and tell the people of New York how to pre- pare for it. The partial report recently issued is based upon probabilities of development up to 1965 in en area more than 200 times as large as Manhattan Island. Upwards of 20,000,000 people will inhabit this mighty city of the future, the experts say. No need is there to induce growth of population; the task is to get ready for those who inevitably will come. County and state lines are disregarded. Whatever its political division, this metropolitan district will overrun the boundaries of 20 counties and three states. Such urban problems never have risen before in the world’s history. But the committee says it is entirely feasible to pro- vide for this tremendous future population to live in greatest comfort, with less crowding, with greater free- dom of movement, greater safety and more healthful surroundings than are possible in the present-day city. A great system of loop highways is proposed; rail belt lines will bring every rail head in the district into direct touch with salt water; parks are to be developed on land now lying waste, and 16 airports are to be added to the 22 existing within the district. There is big op- timism in the scheme, at Icast. It sets an example in foresight that well may be followed ‘by every other.large center of population. ELUSIVE LIFE (Knickerbocker Press) With a modesty becoming to one who professes to be facing an as yet unfathomable mystery, Prof. Robert A Millikan, Nobel prize winner for isolating and meas- uring the electron, states that science is wholly in the dark as to when and how organic life connects up with matter.

Tales of how one grandmother criti- cized the other grandmother to the child, even refusing to let her appear in any of the clothes she wore when she came, and so on, were told. ee EASY WAY OUT Because so many modern adults are caught in the grip of divorce, human {sophistry finds us refusing to find coming to the fore more and more is that all our bugaboos on that subject are needless.

It is realized that a lack of sun- shine may prevent’a normal bone de- velopment in children. Rickets is a disease of winter months, dark houses, and light-proof, bundlesome clothes. Since the sun-tanned vogue has swept from face powder to bare legs, it is to be expected that the modern bathing suits would develop into the “sun-tanned back” form. This is especially desirable for babies and young children. The modern sun- suit consists of a brief part of shorts held up over the front by porous ma- terial or a set of straps to admit the sunlight to the child’s chest and back. The spine is almost entirely exposed. These can be used as play suits as well as bathing suits. The cut should ‘When the children have finished | © their puppets they will perhaps want be well fitting so that no chafing is experienced. The valuable ultra-violet rays of the sunshine cannot be felt because they are not warm nor can they be seen because they are higher in the spectrum than can be observed by our eyes. The tltra-violet rays are ob- structed by clouds, dust, fog, smoke, window glass and by clothing, and for these reasons a direct exposure of the | skin to the sunlight is most valuable. The expesure to the sunlight should be very gradual and of short duration at first until the skin becomes dark- ened. No burning should be per- mitted, as this is injurious to the skin, and should be avoided just as any other burn would be. It is generally recognized that di- re¢t sunlight is superior to codliver oil or other foods in treating rickets. The aim should be to tan the skin, but not to burn it. The head should be protected, especially on hot days. Hypocrates of ancient Greece rec- ognized the value of the sun in treat- ing disease, but this knowledge was lost during the dark ages of Europe, and rickets was common. It is not unusual to observe rickets in prac- tically every picture painted by the old masters. The models of babies used by such masters of painting as Raphael and DeVinci show the unmistakable square head and rib formation of rickets. At first babies should be exposed only for about 10 minutes, but this sunbath can be increased to three to five minutes daily until an exposure of an hour to the sunlight morning and evening will not be excessive. Sunbathing may also be given in enclosed screened porches sheltered from the wind, but the sun must shine directly on the child unob- structed by glass. Endeavor to avoid sunburn, but ge Z ISS FT. DEARBORN MASSACRE One hundred and seventeen years ago today, on Aug. 15, 1812, the Fort Dearborn massacre occurred. On that day the garrison of 67 men, under Captain Nathan Heald, evacuated the fort, which was locat- ed on the site of Chicago, under in- judicious orders from General Wil- iiam Hull. Accompanied by about 30 resident settlers, including men, women and children, the garrison started for De- troit under the escort of a body of Miami Indians. At a short distance from the fort they were attacked by an ambushed body of 500 Indians, assisted by most of the escort. Two-thirds of the whites were captured. Most of the captives were subse- quently ransomed at Detroit, On the day following the massacre, the fort was destroyed by the Indians. The fort was rebuilt about 1816, was evac- uated in 1823, and reoccupied in 1828, and was demolished in 1856. f * FORTY YEARS AGO J. J, Luck came over from Morton county yesterday on business.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Shortness of Breath Question: Mrs. H. W. J. writes: “I suffer from shortness of breath and have for 10 years. Our family doctor says it is caused from nervous indigestion. Have taken loads of medicine, but still suffer. It causes me to yawn and gives me a tired, weak feeling. Have pains around my heart and gas on my stomach.” Answer: Get rid of the gas pres- sure by living on the proper diet, and then take diaphragmatic breathing exercises. Any physical culture in- structor will be able to show you these exercises, or I will be glad to send you some articles I have writ- ten on this subject. Ginseng Root Question: P. K. asks: “Will you please tell me something about the medicinal value of the ginseng root? T have heard that the Chinese value it highly, and was informed that by taking the tea for about 18 months - am a little hard of hearing.” Answer: Ginseng ts the root of an herb known as the panax ginseng in Asia, but a similar plant is produced in North America known as the panax quinquefolia, which has @ mucilaginous subtsance sup- posed to be slightly healing when applied to abrasions. It is also sup- posed to be somewhat of a stimulant to the nerve and sexual centers, but I doubt very much if it has any value for the restoration of hearing. \ Orange Juice Question: Mrs. F. D. asks: “Is there any danger of the orange juice to be used in your Cleansing Diet Course causing any discomfort to the bladder or kidneys on account of the acid?” Answer: The citric acid of the orange juice is not eliminated by the kidneys, but is burned up internally. However, during the fast, elimination takes place so rapidly that this causes temporary irritation of the bladder until the toxins have been completely eliminated.
