Any- thing that changes the appearance and character of coinage or currency puts it out of commission so far as its free and untrammeled career from the standpoint of its original pur- pose is concerned. As in the case of the flag, once very generally employed in advertising promotions and now prohibited by law, the utilization of the national currency or coinage for any but the primary purpose has been steadily discountenanced by Federal author- ities. While one time frequently in- voked in advertising and publicity statements, few instances have been recorded of such use in the past few years. STONE SEEKS TO STOP LEAKAGE OF LIQUOR Attorney General Orders Aides to Destroy Confiscated Con- traband. In an effort to stop possible leak- age of liquor from Government ware- houses by theft or otherwise, Attor- ney General Stone has instructed United States attorneys to dispose of confiscated liquor immediately after courts decree its confiscation. In the past it has been the practice to sell the confiscated stocks to pur- chasers entitled to possess liquor and turn the proceeds into the Treasury, but the method has not always work- ed out satisfactorily, it was said to- day, since delays in thus disposing oi it, amounting sometimes to a year or more, have given time for theft or fraud. b _The new instructions drawn by Mrs. Mabel: - Walker Willebrandt, Assistant Attorney General in charge of pro- hibition enforcement, she believes, will chockaeesiblooleakage,, .

BROUGH, England, September Great Britain's dreadnaught of the air made its first flight recently from the airdrome which was the hopping-off field of the American world flyers when they left England for America by way of Iceland and Greenland. The monster machine is said to be the most powerful single-engined air- plane in the world. From wing-tip to wing-tip it measures $8 feet, stands 19 | feet from the ground and from nose to tail is 54 feet. The plane was built to take the new 1,000-horsepower Napier Cub engine, claimed to be the most powerful air motor in existence. It has 16 cylinders, yet weighs only 2,200 pounds. A railway locomotive, developing the same power, welghs more than 147,000 pounds. Trial Flight Success. Foreign air attaches came to Brough to see the trial flight of the Cubaroo. as the plane is called. For a briel space the engine was run, and then with a great roar the plane taxied |across the airdrome and was away into the air, with Flight Lieut. Paul Bulman, one of the most daring pilots of the royal air force, in command. When the flight was ended Lieut. Bul- man said the air leviathan had han- dled as easily as a small plane. The response to the control was wonder- ful, and on landing there was no sug- gestion of the enormous size of the machine, Some idea of the proportions of the plane is indicated by the ‘fact that the single propeller is more than one and one-half times the size of a full- sized English billard table. The tail alono is as large as an ordinary scouting plane. * Have to Use Staircases. Two 'staircases from the central cabin lead to separate parts of the méchine. One goes to the pilots' cockpit, which has accommodations fotr two, and the other gives access td a compartment behind the wings which may be used as a machine-gun tower. The plane is without armament of any kind, but when being used for military purposes it will carry about three tons'of bombs or torpedoes. The machine is ostensibly a three-seater, but there is accommodation in the Chekiang troops at Huang.Tu, 15 miles from Shanghai. ked his life, one of the soldiers aiming his rifle at the photographer as the latter was in the act of snapping the pictare. Another soldier at the right threw a rock just after the camera clicked. Then the camera man was twice arrested and placed under military guard. However, he managed to save his pictures, which were taken with a small camera. E tholic University. Boston and Cardinal Hayes of New York. SPEED YACHT.
