WiUiam Mitchell, who | has flown at the, rate of 246 miles an hour, predicts that there . will soon be flying, machines, going 5.00 miles an hour. . That would en able a New York business man to run over to London in the. morn ing, transact his business there and get back^in time for. dinner. It conjures up, the prospect of all America commuting to. Europe, or * S vice versa. There are certain conditions that have to be met, however. The fly ing must be done at a height -of about 10 miles, where there is .less air resistance to overcome. There is not enough oxygen up there for either man or motor, and so an artificial supply must be carried. There must be provision, toe, against the intense cold of such al titudes. It may be .necessary to provide artificial pressure, for nobody knows what the diminish ed pressure would do to the body cells. The body might literally blow up if shot quickly up to the sky ceiling. Perhaps there must be hermetically sealed cabins rhemselves safeguarded against explosion from internal pressure as they rise. Propellers must have .a greater pitch than is practicable lower down. Nearly everything] must be different. -* It is all interesting?but is it worthwhle? Suppose, the dangers) are overoome, what of the gain' The present age. is. straining for ever greater speed, as. if speed in itself were something "necessarily j desirable- Yet the time taken toj get somewhere is far less import- j ant than what the traveler does j after he gets there. With ail this speed, too, travel ing, which ought to be a fine art, is losing its charm. At 500 miles] , ah hour, and that up where the j sky is black and the earth, is a j blur, travel itself becomes, nothing j ; bjut a temporal and spatial blank ] "between one spot and another., _ Who wants that? . -j -?j?? - i A MODEL HOSPITAL IP- - ?-? t Back in 1893, m ?ne of the most\ poverty-stricken sections of New1 York city, a small medical clinic! called Beth Israel was- started. I Many of the Russian refugees of that time who were the first ones aided by this Uttle hospital have since become wealthy, some of: them millionaires. These. grateful ex-patients are today making it possible for Beth Israel to erect a ?3,000,000 hospital to accommo date 500 patients. Every provision is to be made for the comfort and safety of the inmates, with exceptional protec tion against fire, wiring" in each.; ".' room for telephone, X-ray, high trequency, electric cardiography and physical theraphy apparatus, fixtures for portable bathtubs, ten large operating rooms and a special - oxygen room for the treatment of pneumonia. * In fact, everything seems to be. provided but those two things .which a city hospital cannot have ?absolute quiet away from the city noises and the pure fresh air of the country. These two conditions in addition to the others would makt an ideal repair shop for disabled humanity. rAS ENGINES FOR SHIPS For a dozen years internal com bustion engines of the Diesel type have been tested in small sea-go ing crafts and have been watched with inrerest. Marine engineers have commented favorably upon their advantages and their pro gressing development, but the be^ Jref has been general that the geared steam turbine was the last word in propulsion at sea. Now word comes from London that one of the greatest of Glas gow shipyards has just contracted to build, for the Union Steamship Line of New Zealand, a Coo-foot, eightetm-knot liner which is to be propelled by internal combustion engines. . At last, it is reported, men have learned.how to construct engines of this type which can be depended on to produce as much power as the geared turbine. Says the London dispatch: "If . the Union Steamship Com pany's vessel proves a success on the run between Mew Zealand and Vancouver, there can he .no rea son of an engineering character for the use of; steam engines on any steamship lines. There may be economic reasons, associated with the cost of fuel and the. conveni ence of fuebng stations, but that is another muter. The first-clas3, motor-prppel led .Atlantic liner is well within sight." ... The steam engine has ruled the I sea now; for near* a century, less becau.se it was cheap tnan because it was dependable- If the ship builders in the, Clyde can. succeed in propelling big, fast ships with Deisel engines which are not onljj dependable but supremely econom ical in operation, here is big news indeed. > FOREST ENEMIES If the :"ore.;ts in America are to be * preserved, the people will have to be on guard against insect and f fungus enemies and tree diseases [as well 2s against wasteful wood choppers and .forest fires. According to - an authority on forestry, ~-f ? something ? is not done to check the advance of the saw. fly, wuhm ten years there will not be a. stick of . tamarack left in Michigan, where once. this, timber abounded. Similarly other valu able timber in other places is in ~?3ted with vegetable and insect I peat* against whose depredations i no adequate measures are being ta ji-j - This is one of the most difficult problems of forestry not only be causemen, are prone to think that, sto matter what may be true of city trees or home wood lots, the \Ag woods can take care of them ; selves: ! The advance of civilization has [ lessened the ability of the forest to ; fight its own battles. Man in his planting and pushing into the wilds has spread tree, pests from one region to another and imported kinds never known before. In [ turning o ver the soil he- has set i free wide-range agencies of der jstruction, even as he prepared for healthy growth In his garden, j While he .has made the forest his servant as he advanced, he has not served the forest. It is no wonder the trees go down under the unequal battle. If a. man wishes [to save the forests for himself he |7nust save them from the forces -he has loosed against them. j THE MIDDLEMAN. \ While the United States supreme ! court, is preparing to review a case [determining, the exact rights of the ! middleman, former Vice-President [Marshall waxes facetious on' the i subject. Says Marshall: j' "The wife of one of the chief j factotums of the Non-Partisan [League (which is waging mighty j battle against the middleman) be came ill. A friend suggested that she call a doctor. She replied: "I don't need a doctor. Don't you know we belong to the Non : Partisan League and must elimi nate the middleman? Just call the undertaker!" Although most people would rather take a chance on the medic than lea\*e the crape-hansing gen tleman for their relatives to deal with, there are few who do not wish the generous difference be tween what the farmer gets for I his products and what they them I selves pay for those products at the counter could linger in their pock jets instead of the, pockets of the j go-betweens. j It is recognized by every intelli j gent person, that middlemen as a j class perform a useful service, j Otherwise they would never have j appeared in the economic scheme. I But there is a growing realization jthat many of them are superfluous (and many of them take a larger toll of the stuff passing through their hands than their service to the community justifies. Accordingly j the movement for direct relations ? between producer and consumer is ? bound to grow and steadily restrict j the middleman's field of operations. Lots of candidates promise the I people what they want.?and when ! they are elected the people get what they deserve. ? * * It may be fair enough if all those who bought German marks were German sympathizers. * * * "Stabilizing currency" by lop ping three to six figures off the mark or ruble seems easy enough. The wonder is that it doesn't bring the currency to a dead stop. ROSTER OF FALL CASES Term of Court Commencing November 13, 1922, Hon. J.

"With the death of Dr. von Ruck there passes one of the outstanding persons in the history of tubercu losis study in America. Born in Constantinople, where ? his fath er was at that time stationed in the diplomatic service, he was a scion of a family which traces back its origin more than 1,000 years. He received* his degree of doctor of medicine at the University of Tubingen in 1877. Soon afterward he went to England and later came to America and earned a degree of M: D. 'at the. University of Michi gan in 1879. v After' some years' of practice in Ohio, he settled in Asheville, where he founded the Winyah sanatorium in 1888.

I gUMTER PENAL INSTITUTIONS Report of Representatives of State Welfare Board The following- reports of visits to Sumter County Chaingang have been made by Ellison Capers, As sistant Secretary. Report Of Visit to the Sumter Coun ty Chaingang No. 1. Made Sep tember 17, 1922, by Asst. Sec. Ellison Capers. The Sumter County Chaingang Nor 1 is encamped about 13 miles from the city of Sumter at Pinck hey's Cross Roads. The greatest needs of this camp are: Screens for the kitchen and more, room" for sleeping quarters for the prisoners, the present cage having only 18 bunks to accommo date' 28 men. A better store room should be provided for the camp and the mule pen should be located- fur ther away from the' kitchen and sleeping quarters. The camp was found to be well situated and arranged, except for the mule pen. The prisoners look ed contented and healthy (only, one sick man). The water supply is adequate and unsuspicious and the surface drainage safe. The atti tude of the foreman towards the prisoners is commendable. Ellison Capers, j Asst. Secretary, j Report of Visit to the Sumter County Chaingang No. 2, Made September 17, 1922, by Assist. Secretary Ellison Capers. Sumter County Chaingang No. 2 iS located in the city of Sumter in, the rear of the county jail prem ises. The greatest needs of this camp arej.-Screens, for the kitchen, more ropm. for sleeping quarters for' the prisoner:', there being 26 men sleeping in the cage, and more bedding for the prisoners. The wash, house, which also houses a few trusty . prisoners, should be kept cleaner. This also can be said. of the prisoners' bed ding, both in this wash house and the bedding to.the cage. The guards quarters, should be screened. In every other way thei guards' quarters were in excellent shape. . j The store-room, was found to be-j in good order, . well arranged,' clean, land'in good repair.. j .The v/ater used is city water.! The sewerage connects with .the; city. The' prisoners looked contented and well. The food is fair, and the attitude of the foreman towards the prisoners is commendable. Ellison Capers, Asst. Secretary. Report of Visit to the Sumter Coun ty Jail, Made September 7, 1922, j "by Ass't Secretary Ellison Capers. The Sumter County jail is very old and in need of repair. The cells are dark and gloomy and in adequate. There were three .white men and six-negro men (one trusty) in the'jail. This jail lacks the nec essary cells and their classification to care for whites and blacks, males and 'females, separately. Jailer D. W. Owens' attitude tor wards the prisoners is highly com mendable; he undoubtedly "does all he can to keep the grounds, the jail; and the bedding clean, and they were all in good shape. The food, encouraged ! by an excellent jail garden, another of Mr. Owens efforts, is very good. . ' The jail was visited in company with Sheriff C M. Hurst, who showed a most cooperative spirit. Ellison Capers, Asst. Secretary.,. Report of Visit to the Sumter County Almshouse Made' Sep tember 7, 1922, by Asst. Secre tary Ellison Capers. . Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Nunnamaker supervise the County Almshouse under the direction of the County Commissioners,, There were three white women, one negro woman, and three negro men, one sick and one blind at the almshouse. Two of the cottages are inade quately screened and need re pairing. A greater variety of food should, be given the inmates. The grounds should be kept cleaner. The inmates keep their houses, each has his or her own cottage, very clean. Tbe bedding: was clean and nicely made up. The dis posal of sewerage is good, enclos ed cans being used and emptied three times a week. The attitude of the staff to wards the. inmates is good, but more recreation and occupation should be provided. There should be more provision made for the sick. Ellison Capers, j Asst. Secretary.
