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

No Worms in a iealthy Child
All children troubled with worms have an un
healthy color, which indicates poor blood, and as a
rule, there is more or loss stomach disturbance.
GROVE'S TASTELESS chilITONIC given regularly
for two or three weeks will enrich the blood, im
prove the digestioD, and act as a General strength
ening Tonic to the whole system. Nature will then
throwoff or dispel the worms, and the Child will be
In perfect health. Pleasant to take. 60c per bottle.

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. You must
he able to inimure h~m also a safe
nlilhting.,
