For Saturday 89c 257 MAIN STREET COMMERGIAL FLYING - T0 BE MADE CHEAP This Is Endeavor of Dayton— Wright Company Dayton, O., July 8.—Years of effort %o cut down the comparatively high cost of commercial aviation will be realized, officials of the Dayton- Wright Airplane company believe, with the patenting of a new wing, in- wvented by an employe of the company. Patents now are pending in Washing- ton. The wing will be controlled by the pilot, and in coming to earth can be 80 manipulated that it will arch, much as a bird’s wing, enabling a practically undeviating glide to earth, instead of flying at various lev- éls before alighting, it is stated. Pend- ing i‘s patents the compahy is dis- closing nothing further regarding the mature of the invention. The new wing, according to Colonel V. E. Clark, chief engineer of the company, will make possible a reduc- tion in cost, by increasing the carry- ing capacity of any plane upon which 4t is installed by more than 300 per cent. The same wing area and the same low speed in landing are re- tained, he said. This will ba accomplished, Col. Clark said, by increasing tha lift co- ) efficient 80 per cent. It is singular that the invention was practically completed by a co- worker of the Wright brothers—J. M Jacobs—an employe of the Dayton- ‘Wright company for 12 years. He spent seven months working on plans for the wing. The invention was con- eluded under the direction of Col. Clark. Officials of the Dayton-Wright company expect it to revolutionize commercial flying. In addition to in- creasing the carrying capacity of a plane, the wing, Col. Clark said, will make it possible to decrease the land- _ing speed by 30 per cent., if the same Joad is carried as with ordinary wings, and increase the flying speed by 25 per cent., carrying the same load. ‘Most of the danger of landing will be eliminated, he said, and a flier wilt ¥ Silk Fibre SCARFS $2.49 Regular $3.50.

G. H. Moore, health officer of Huddersfield, at the Conference on Infant Welfare held here under the patronage of the King and Queen. Mr. Straus’ paper stated that it was his original purpose, when the milk campaign was inaugurated in 1892, to check the ravages from summer com- Dlains which attacked infants in their second summegr. At that time, Mr. Siraus asserted, a large percentage of children succumbed from intestional trouble in their second summer when the change was made from mathers’ mitk to “the infected milk of the cew.” “*Of 1,347,089 deaths in the United States in 1914, 278,520 were of babies under two years and 65,298 of these deaths were from intestional dis- orders mainly infectious diseases due to germs conveyed in milk,” Mr. Straus’ paper stated. 'As the germ theory became the subject of extensive scientific re- search it became evident that germs caused other. diseases, in addition to tuberculosis and intestional poison. “Typhoid , scarlet, diphtheria, sceptic sore throat and measles, all these diseases were found to be caused by germs in milk. “There are records of numerous epidemic wrich scoured New York tablished that the milk supply had || been the carrier of the germs. The most striking of all was my exper- ience during the infantile paralysis epideic which scourged New York during the summer.of 1916. Of 2,100 children who were entirely fed on the pasteurized milk prepared at my lab oratory, not a single case of the dis- ease developed. When this fact be- came known, I was besieged by fran- tic mothers for information.” Mr. Straus advised these inquirers to use pasteurized milk or-to boil it if they were unable to obtain milk so treated. He told of the estab- lishment of his milk depots in vari- ous parts of New York city where trained attendants advised the moth- ers in the care of infants. The ex- tent to which his pioneer work had been followed was shown in the pa- per by the fact that 100 infant milk depots had been established in New York 25 in Philadelphia, 20 in Chi- cago and 12 in St. Louis. Altogether in the United States, Mr. Straus said, 297 such stations are distributed in 36 cities. By this means milk at one cent a large glass “free from any possible infection,” was bought within the reach of children. In some sum- mers 1,500,000, glass>s were dispensed through these stations. To enable people who desired to pasteurised milk for their own use he devised a pasteurizer that could be used in the homes and sold them at cost or gave thein to those who could not afford to pay. He pre- sented a complete pasteurizing plant to the City of Philadelphia and quot- ed figures showing the reduction of infant mortality which ensued. Mr. Straus told of the opposition which he asserted arose from the sel- fishness and ignorance of dairymen and milk dealers and said it was an incessant fight to compel them to pasteurize their milk. All his social work, whether in propaganda for pasteurization or in his Health Department in Jerusalem De enabled to land safely in a small | was open to all.

Small municipalities, he point- ed out, could better afford to estab- lish such fields. Increasing the carryiig capacity ot a plane will be accomplished, Col. Clark said, by adding to the total weight of the plane, hence giving more poundage room for fuel and load. A plane that ordinarily has a ca- pacity of 1,000 pounds for fuel and load, with the new wings may take or 4,200 pounds. They are designed to give a slow speed and a high lift in landing, and a purely high speed in flight.* The gliding angle may be changed without changing speed. It is neces- sary with old type wings to jockey with the throttle to keep at the low- est speed, Col. Clark continued. In landing in a restricted space, the wings may be set so as to offer in- creased resistance,” enabling a land- in~ at the closest possible point to a barrier. MUST BE DISCREET. Daugherty Given Opinion On Liquor Transpors Matter. ‘Washington, July 8.—Foreign liners entering American ports with bar- room stocks of alcoholic beverages should be “very discreet,” Attorney General Daugherty said in discussing the application of the department of Jjustice opinion that transit shipments of liquor through American territory from one foreign country to another ia illegal. Mr, Daugherty declined to supple- ment his statement, but customs offi- cials who are preparing regulations to enforce the ban on liquors in transit indicated that a previous opinion of the department of justice which class- ified such liquor stocks on foreign vessels as sea stores entitled to tem- porary privileges inside of American territory might control.

E. F. assemble here Oct, 31. Cowpunchers from Montana array- ed in “‘chaps” and sorbreros will dash through the streets on cowponies pro- vided by the Grover Metzger post of ftLe legion here, composed of local stockyards men. Airmen will per- form aerial stunts under the direc- ticn of the Kansas City Flying club, which has posted prizes. Legion- naires from Iowa are scheduled to ar- rive in “side door Pullmans” bearing the familiar “40 hommes, $ chevaux” legend, so well known to veterans of French troop trains. Also, among those present will be President Harding, General John J. Pershing, late “C in C” of the A. E. F., Marshal Foch, and Admiral Sir David Beatty, hero of the battle of Jutland. A delegation of five Legion men is scheduled to arrive from Canada and 2 similar contingent from Panama. Thirty-five hundred - credited dele- gates in all are expected. A much larger number, from the territory ad- jacent to Kansas City, will be on hand for the parade opening the three days’ sessions. Many towns in Mis- souri and Kansas have sent word that they will have large delegations down for the parade. Fifty-four men, holders of the Con- gressional Medal of Honor, the high- est decoration for bravery that the country bestows, will be invited to attend the convention with heir wives as guess of honor, all expenses being paid by the legion. It is planned to build temporary tracks and run Pullman cars, into the heart of the city, where they will be “parked” for the accommodation of delegates during their stay. In addition to the American Legion convention, various divisional and unit reunions will be held at the same time. Members of organizations de- siring to hold cuch reunions are be- ing urged to communicate with the registration division of . the legion fonvention here. A War Department exhibit of war materials, used and captured, is also to be. shown. ADVOCATE SCHOOLS, FOR NIGHT AND DAY Educators Say That Foreigners Must Have Chance Des Moines, Ia., July 8.—Illierates and foreigners of whatever age must not be exempted from school attend- ance if illiteracy is to be eliminated and Americanization advanced, J. M. Gwinn, superintendent of schools of New Orleans, La., said here today at a general session of the National Ed ucation Association. Continuous education of all up to approximately 18 years, Dr. Gwinn held essential for citizenship training. “Ways and means must be estab- lished for a continuous survey show- ing those present in the community who are illiterates and, foreign and not trained for citizenship,” he said, “The city schools and the whole in- dustrial, commercial and, civic life of the community must operate to se- cure these objectives. “The qualities "of a good citizen must be ade clear and all who have to do with making ideals, teachers, priests, clergymen, etc., should be re- quired to come up to the standard and be good American citizens. “Foreigners should not be permit- ted to teach un-American ideals, civic and governmental—whether in press. pulpit or school room. “All needed kinds of schools and classes must be operated day and night and all the year round—full time and part-time.” STORIES OF ARCTIC —— Wild Tales of Frigid Zones Seem to Have Gonec the Way of the Old WiId West. San Francisco, July 8.—Heroic gla- mour and dréadful risks of the frozen Arctic have gone the way of the pic- tured dangers and romantic adven- tures of the old storied Wild West, according to Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Canadian Arctic explorer, who passed through here recently. Eskimo of the white country live off the land, so why shouldn’t the white stranger? he 2 3 “There is no reason,” Stefansson said, “why two or three men should not go to the North Pole, or even to the pole of inaccessibility, which is in the center of the icy area four hundred miles farther from navigable water than the North Pole, and live there for one or several years, de- pending for food, fuel and shelter solely on the meat, fat and skins of animals found there. The explorer has under consider- ation plans for a new expedition to the north, he said Here. LIGHTS IN CHURCH BELFRY CAUSED BY HUDSON TUBE CARS Jersey City, July 8.—Superstitious folk in Jersey City breathed easy when they learned that the mysteri- ous phantom light that had glowed from the belfry of St. Joseph’s Catho- lic church was only the reflection of the red lights of passing Hudson tube cars in a deep cut near the edifice. For several nights, thousands of persons had stood in awe on the side walks gazing at the weird light that flickered occasionally from the steeple.

Italy, Germany, Greece and other countries which formerly depended upon the cereals of the Ukraine now are declared to be placing virtually all their grain orders in the middle west- ern United States. Wheat is converging upon this is- land from neary every grain-growing state. One entire traiload recently crossed the causeway from Chug- water, Wyo. Idaho, Montana, Col- orado, Missouri, Kansas Oklahoma and Texas are other states from which growers are sending their product to- ward this port in trainloads. As many as 1,000 carloads of grain have crossed the cause v within a period of 24 hours, according to local railway officials. Since July 1, 1920, a total of 66,- 624,713.27 bushels of wheat has been exported through Galveston. In May atone 7,846,388.50 bushelss were lifted for foreign ports. Italy, with 3,154,266 bushels, was the middle west's best customer Great Britain came next, | taking total of 2,959,379 bushels, while Ger- many was third with 1,133,665 bush- els, France, which is rapidly getting to the point where she can feed her- self, took only 205,333 bushels, and Belgium, 190,450 bushels. Holland and Spain imported 104,000 and 98,- 400 bushels, respectively. The unprecedented pouring. of wheat through Galveston results from favorable rail differentials, according to shipping and railway men. In May Galveston led all ports of the United Btates in grain exports. New Orleans was second with a total of 5,082,839 bushels, Philadelphia third with 2,206,795 and New York fourth with 1,941,000, according to figures of the Galveston Cotton Ex- change and the Board of Trade.
