ILLIAM JOHNSTOR 11W This clever writer has made notable contributions to hu morous literature in his "His tory Up to Date" and in "Solomon Sloan's Advice on How to Run the Universe." In "Limpy," he produced one of the sweetest, most appealing stories of a boy ever written. IDuring the past few years he has found a delightfully happy field for his talents in mystery and detective fiction. "The House of Whispers" is the best thing he has done in that line. It will be our pleasure to offer 'it to you serially in this paper. See that you get the first in stallment. Starts Next Week Citations for Letters of Administrat ion Wheieas G. W.

MAKING TRAVEL BY AIR SAFE Wireless Telephone Will Do Much to insure Speedy Mail Deliveries. BRITISH EXPERTS AT WORK When New System Is Working Prop. erly Pilots Will Be In Constant Touch With Ground by Means of Wireless. London.-Wjil the aerial mail serv lee, when its organization has been Improved, still continue to be inter rupted by such adverse weather as (luring the past week prevented on several days the flylig of the mail mnachines between London and Paris? Asked this question the other day by a repres'ntatihe of the London Times, Holt Thomas, whose high speed bi planes carry tihe London-Paris mail, replied with an emphatic "no." At present, he explained, we are flying daily. over what is, to a large extent, still an uhorganized route; and it is no exaggeration at 'll to say that when all the organization which we are busily preparing is brought ac tually into play, as It will be before we have to encounter another winter, such conditions as prevented Lieuten ant McMullin from getting through to Paris on the first day of the air mail last Monday will have no ad verse effect at all on the flying of a machine, either from the point of view of safety or of adhering to scheduled time. Wireless telegraphy will help is enormously and we have now the services of one of the most practical experts In this country, who is con centratrig his attention exclusively on the question as to how directional wireless and the wireless telephone may be mnade to help us in regular daily flying and to overcome such difficulties as at present cause delay. Information for Plane Pilot. When we have this system working properly it will mean that during our hours of flying, say from 12 o'clock to 4 p. m., every land operator will be listening for messages from the air nnd a pilot having set out say from Ilounslow, and wishing to know ex actly what the weather is like in the channel, will simply take up his re ceiver and call "Hello, Lympne." All the other stations on the airway will hear, but only Lympne will reply, and .in.-a -moment the pilot will be given the information he requires. It will also be quite easy for one pilot to speak to a nother while two machines are in flight. In each machine, also, we shall place a light telescopi. mast. This will be jointed and will lie in the fuselage without taking up any room. But should a pilot have to make a compulsory descent he wfll on alight ing take out his miast, joint it together and place the "aerial" of his wire less telephone on the top of it. Then, when he has raised this mast and stuck thre end of it in the ground it will lhe about 30 feet high when fully extended-he will be able to call up the nearest nerodromie on his wire less telephone and tell themi just what field lie Is downa in and what his trouble is. In such a case, if a man cannot ascend agaIn quickly, we shall sendl another machine to him from the nearest relief point, whieh wvill take on his mails. We shall soon have a system, both on the English and French sections of the route, whereby a pilot wh'lo lias a forced land'ag can get into touch inmediateiy with the nearest iandi agent of the service, who wvili take over his malls at oncee and sendh them on their way in a fast moe torcycile. The point is now dlemonstratedl very clearly thant with a skIllful pIlot and a fast machinie thei only sort of at mospheric conditions which seriously interrupts flying is such as we en counter sometimes on a bad November day, wh'len en opaque mist, beginning almnost at groumid level, may extenid upwvard, in an unbroken mass, to ani altitude of somethIng likec 10,0(00 feet. Hurtling Through the Fog. A pilot in an airplane, flying on through a thick mist, is as unhappy asI a pedlestrian in a denise fog-only more so. Not only Is there tihe quies tIon of findinig his way, but lie is faced also by the embarrassing fact that, through not being able to turn his eye upon any lhorlizon line, lhe can not judge the altitude or Inclination of his machine ini relation to the ground below, with the reimlit that ho mnay get intol a sIde slip or spin fled suddenly thant his machine has passedl out of his control-a condlition of affairs which niay spell extreme peril. Then we expect very soonl to have improved consideraebly thie inistru ments ini a amachinie wvhlh tell its pilot its altitudhe end inclination whieni he is deprIved by fog or cloud of a horizon line. Then, as yet another point, we are working on thme qumestion of lighting aerodomnes and landlIng grounds. so that a pilot can ;mime a safe contact with the groundl even wvhen the air is heavily obscured. 'This is, of course, a point of capital importance. It Is not enough ton gulide a man accurately while he is flyIng in misty weather.
