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

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.

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

| 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.

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.

EGYPT "ROLLING IN WEALTH"
Illiterate Mud Hut Dwellers Make
Many Thousands in Cotton
Deals.
London.?Egypt is "bursting with
wealth" accumulated from cotton,
says a correspondent of the Daily Express
in Cairo.
"Illiterate natives living In mud
huts have made 20,000 pounds sterling
out of cotton deals," he continues.
"Some have made 100,000 pounds.
They are buying land* at inflated
nrices. and paying off mortgages which
are regarded as family heirlooms. One
British official says that the country
has made at least 100,000,000 pounds.
"Naturally there Is an influx of new
millionaires in Cairo, with a huge de?
mand for automobiles, jewelry, new
houses and all hinds of luxuries, but
In the provinces many of the newly
rich have not changed their standard
of living at all."
Finally Got New Golden Eagle.
Phoenix, Ariz.?Two years ago a
fire destroyed the only golden eagle
I of the Rhizomanians, a distinguished
society of the Pacific college, California.
Remembering the Phoenix that rises
ont of its ashes every 500 years.
Milnes, secretary to Governor Campbell,
decided it would he appropriate
I to present his old accomplices with
a brand new eagle bird from Phoenix
just as soon as it could be obtained.
! It took him two years to do it, but
the bird has at length been caught
and prepared for shipment.
It *s declared to be the most gigantic
bird ever stuffed for museum
poses.
