Numerical Addresses for leave is Suggested for France PARIS, Aug. ~—A numerical telegraph and cable address for every Paris householder is urged by the Paris newspaper Liberty.

BERLIN SWINDLERS % BERLIN, Aug. 9.—Stealing cal- ing cards from house doors has become a favorite sport of Ger- man swindlers. Cards with high sounding titles are especially sought, In Germany persons are often introduced merely by the fact that the introducer gives the person to be introduced his visiting card. A clever swindler, who obtains pos- session of the visitng card of Baron X and knows that Baron X is a good friend of Count Ylntuwm. USE CALLING CARDS can negotiate a “touch” quite ef- fectively by using Baron X's c: ing card as a card of introductica to Count Y. Since calling cards tacked to the wall next to a bell-botton or affixed in lieu of name plates ar2 often soiled, the swindler also tries to steal calling cards by pre- tending to call on a man with strong social connections. White the servant announces his name, the swindler helps himself to the usual run to fourteen words or more. Liberty also asks the municipal council of Paris not to pick out five and six word street names when they are christening new thoroughfares. Policemen’s School Teaches English PARIS, Aug. 9.-—So successful have been the few Parisian po- liceman who speak English in alding travelers that the muni- cipal council has decided to put English speaking officers on duty where tourists appear numbers. { A police school, with an orig- inal enrollment of nearly fifty, has been organized. It will teach the English usually employed by those asking for and and direc- for a French address to the newspapers of William dolph Hearst Ran- the American pub- |lisher, the North German Lloyd Steamship Company and by the Darmstaedter and National Bank. Correspondent t> Fly In his desire to aid in the de- velopment of trans-oceanic avia- tion as well as aid in the secu ing of better understanding be- tween nations, Mr. Hearst has offered a total of $33,000 toward making possible the flight. Of this amount $15,000 is being paid ing a correspondent along in one of the planes as the first pondent passenger in a lantic flight, The passenger in the Euorpa will be Hubert R. Knickerbocker, one of the corresopndents of Uni- versal Service In Germany. 0. D Tol hus, who, because of his priority of service in the Berlin bureau, claimed right to being al- lowed to be the first mewspaper | correspondent on a trans-Atlantic | flight, lost out only because of the fact that he weighs thirty pounds more than Knickerbocker. The Junkers people felt that the difference in weight and the con sequent ability to take on more gasoline by carrying Knicker- bocker, was more important than any other consideration. Prizes Offered A second $15,000 is being of fered as a prize for the first air- plane which reaches the Amer- ican continent from continental Europe. The remaining $3,000 is offered as a prize for the sec ond airplane to reach the Amer- ican continent from continental Europe. The personnel of this first at tempt at a dual flight across the Atlantic and the first attempt to fly to America from continental Europe since the ill-fated Nun- gesser-Coli flight, will be as fol- lows: The “Buropa’—Pilot, Johann Ristics; navigator, Cornelius Ed- wards, and passenger, Hubert R.

Motors The monoplanes each carry 320 horsepower engines, specially built, their details a carefully guarded secret. Bach is capable of taking up approximately two tons of gasoline and, from the trial flights, it Is calculated that this supply will be more than sufficient to meet the Chamber- lin-Acosta record of fifty-one hours continuous flight in the air, To ald in taking off at the fleld at Dessau, the' Junkers peo- ple have built a 760-yard con- ecrete runway. Plans have been perfected for the uncoupling of the take-off wheels immediately after the start to lighten the planes. The flight will be officially reg- istered by the German air coun- cil, and all matters of time, in any| weights and content of plane will be gone over by the representa- tives of the ministry. —— e Mrs. Grover C.
