j PLAN CHAIN OP LANDINGFIELDS Army Air Service Officers Cover 300,000 Miles in Making Aerial Survey. IS LIKE HARBOR TO LINER Thirty-two Southern Cities Invited to ! Provide Stopping Places for Planes I ?Must Be Fit to Handle All Forms "of Aircraft New York.?Plans for establishment of a chain of airplane landing fields have been worked out by officers of the army air service and the Manufacturers* Aircraft association, it was announced here. Army flyers have covered more than 800,000 milefc in an aerial survey of the country and made exhaustive reports on the facilities offered to cross-country flyers. Representatives of 32 southern cities already have been invited to establish landing fields under army direction. Many others will receive like Invitations during the next few ^months. These jmust be laid out according to specifications given by the army, and in return the government gives j v"/ steel hangars to the municipalities. Op- j eration of the "air harbor" is assumed ! by the municipality. Since the armistice the number of j omnr Vino hoan rofliif'ivl frnm :"0 ai Ul,v UtiUO 1IUC VVV It 1V.UUV vw vv to 16, and the naval air stations from 17 to 9. Like Harbor to Liner. "The landing field," says the air- | craft association, "is to the airplane j what the harbor Is to the ocean liner j and the railroad terminal is to the j train. It Is not merely a flat piece of ; land on which a flyer can bring his craft to earth. Such a .piece of I ground bears the same relation to a j real landing field as an unimproved ; ' water Inlet to a harbor like New York or Liverpool. "A landing field should have, first of all, dimensions which fit it to handle all forms of aircraft. It should be drained to permit its use even in the wettest weather. It should have shelter and suppliesvfor flyers and their craft and should be accessible to the 1 y ' trade center It is meant to serve. ?xnis ieaiurt; is ui supranc uujjwtance because commercial aerial navi- ; gation>will develop only in proportion ! t to its commercial value, the field ! should be identified with markings vis- ! Ible from great heights and with radio ! apparatus so flyers may be aided In . finding their way in spite of the fog or failure to Identify the country ov/er ?' which they are passing. j *Haven If Mishap Occurs. ! "Fields at frequent intervals means that cross-country flyers can come to the earth for rest, replenishment of supplies and adjustments to their machines without inconvenience or unnecessary delay. In the event of a mishap in the air, such as a stalled motor, the near-by landing field permits the pilot to glide to it without damage i to the machine or to himself. PROFITEER CONVICTIONS HIGH 'C: I TVrenty-Four Convictions in England i Cost Government $5,000 Each. London. England.?Twenty-four con- j lotions obtained before the 1.900 antiprofiteering tribunals set up throughout England have cost more than ?1,- j 000 (nominal value $5,000) each, it I was declared by Captain Wedgwood i Benn in the house of commons during l discussion of a proposal to extend the j profiteering act for another period of | six months. Captain Benn summarized the results of the act, during its first six months of life by stating: "Nineteen hundred committees have been appointed. 1,935 cases have been heard?one case per committee; twenty-four convictions have been obtained; ?25,000 has been spent. And the cost of living has gone up!" The proposed extension of six ' months was voted. ^ T Jump Rails, Ride Ties and Jump Back Again! Sharon, Pa.?Jumping the track on the Hillfards branch ot the Bessemer railroad, a loco- ! motive, pulling a freight train, j traveled along the hard packed . snow for a distance of 400 feet and then mounted to the rails 5 again. | An Erie freight locomotive '? east-bound on the Bessemer road jumped the track in the Shenango (Pa.) yards and after proceeding 200 feet, again regained the rails. And to prove their stories, railroad men will show the loot*motives. I A I * ? < | Thousands of Rabbits Killed.

Within the i last :"eT months 25,000 rabbits were killed in drives in coaaties bordering the Columbia river, J X i / I BREATHE ROCK DUST I | Millions of Particles Taken Into Lungs With Air. I i ; Hygiene Experts Devising Means of Removing Dust and Fumes From Air in Factories. j Niagara Falls, N. Y.?Over 200,000,000 tiny particles of dust, as sharp as j ground glass, are breathed into the | lungs and air passages with every ! cubic foot of air in some of the fae| tories in the United States, according to a survey made by the public health t onrr? r>r\ OtA T Such dusts breathed into the lungs j are never expelled. Photomicrographs show the tiny particles to be exceedingly sharp and jagged andw chemical tests prove them to be practically insoluble. Work under such conditions invites respiratory diseases and makes a real health hazard. Similar investigations in chemical factories showed that laborers were frequently exposed to poisonous%fumes and gases. The investigation was made at Niagara Falls because plants were engaged in the manufacture of abrasives. chemicals, gases, electrodes, carbons, metals and alloys. In all of the factories the laborers were found to be exposed to dangers which would eventually incapacitate them for further work. Fortunately over CO per cent of the labor in these plants seek9 new employment monthly and the result of exposure to such dangers is not evident as it would be if the workers remained at the same work for longer periods. As a result of the survey industrial hygiene engineers devised means of removing the dust from the air and minimizing hazards from fumes and poisonous gases. In spite of ihe fact that the installation of such devices was expensive, factory managements immediately put them into use. MME. JULES JUSSERAND WlTi* ..' v,v!S^:::::::S^Sb Mine.
