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 reaches a certain low point, and in this way adverse conditions within are dissipated.” Major Schroeder, the aviator who fell six miles and livéd to tell about it, explained that the construction of the compartment was of very light wood but that its durabilly has been tested. The compartment has a tri- thickness of glass, and is fairly com- 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 con- tinued. *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 con- siderably off my course and it was Mhen that I though of the possibility of the west fo east coast flight with the air of the anti-trade winds which blow west to east. I think it is pos- sible, and that it will not be long be- fore the country will be startled with such an actual accomplishment.” REFORESTATION PLAN FOR GIANT REDWOODS, State of California is Busy With Pro- jects For the Upkeep and Pro- sduction of Trees. San Francisco, Aug. 17. — Califor- nia’s giant redwoods, some of which, still standing, were saplings when the Vikings first sighted the coast of North America, and were good-sized trees when Willlam the Conqueror's Norman hordes landed on the shores of England a thousand years ago, will have been entirely destroyed within a short time, according. to the Califor- nia Redwood Association here, unless measures now being undertaken for their reforestation prove sucessful. Nurseries for young redwoods have recently been stablished by two lum- ber companies in northern California. At Fort Bragg, Mendocino county, 800,000 young redwood trees are now growing from seed, a sufficient num- | ber to reforest 2,800 acres a year. Enough additional young trees to re- forest 4,600 acres annually will be supplied by this company in the near future. Another company, at Scotia, Hum- boldt county, has a redwood nursery of 500,000 trees, while a number of the twenty-two reedwood companies in California have taken a practical |l'l-K terest in the reforestation. Besides the nursery trees, about one-fifth aditional second growth lum- ber is expected to sprout from the stumps of old trees. DRESSES MADE SHORTER Stambuliski Dies and Women Take Advantage of the Passing of His Prohibitive Law. ' London, ' Aug. 17.—The death of Atambullski, former premier of Bul- garia, seems to have had more than a | political effect in his country. No | gooner was it confirmed, says a Sofia news message, than the women in the | citlies began to order and make new dresses, and to buy new shoes with high heels. This is all due to the fact that Stambuliski had ordered that wom- en's dresses should be worn long, and even described the exact length. He also ordered that all shoes should have flat heels and the police were in- structed to enforce these regulations. Now the demand for dresses and high heeled shoes in Sofia is so great that the shops cannot meet it. - - ask for Horlick's \ The ORIG!NAL Malted Milk ‘ Children Qu&huh-flme.%h!mt‘lfi RichMilk, Malted Grain . ders Tabletforms, l-h‘h(m-::m & Avoid Imitations and Substitutes AMERICAN BIRDS FACE evogreedp oy o s . reservation superintendent.
