"Fool Proof" Monoplane Makes Successful Fligh
A Fakker "proofool" 10-passenger monoplane took up its first American human freight the other day at Curtiss Field and demonstrated to a crowd of nearly two thousand its non-stalling features.
This ship, with another larger Fokker, which is to arrive from Holland this week, has been entered in the Ford reliability tour for airplanes Sept. 28, 2015 at the RAF's Friday for the starting point at Detroit. W. L. Stutz, the plot, put the plane's nose up in the air and turned off the motor. The plane refused to side slip or spin or whin down a line in the air and turned down through the air in a very safe and reassuring manner. This was said to be due to its wing design, a similar exhibition of safety having been made at Cows, England, by Anthony H. G. Fokker, who signor Silsinky at Kønestrup Airport.
The Fokker plane is called the F-7 and is 625 feet in wing spread and carries a useful load of more than three thousand pounds. It is driven by a single Liberty motor of four hundred horsepower. There are baggage compartments and a washroom aboard. The ship has a high speed of 115 miles an hour and cruises at one hundred.

Anti-Aircraft Artillery Developed Along With Improved Airplanes
Forces May Now Stand Off Attacking Air Fleet With New Devices
New Devices
Anti-aircraft artillery improvements are keeping stop with the latest developments of war planes, according to Lieutenant Colonel W. J. Tait, head of the reports of recent target practices indicates that land forces may now be expected to stand off an attacking air fleet with considerable success, using the new systems.
A late bulletin from the office of the Chief of Coast Artillery says:
the Chief of Coast Artillery sage:
*Battery D, B 4th Coast Artillery,
stationed in Hawaii, on Aug. 22, 1925,
fired 10 shots at a target towel at the rate of 60 miles per hour. The altitude of the target was 6,000 feet and the horizontal range 10,500 feet, the actual range from the ground was 8,750 feet. Targets used were shotwee feet five feet in diameter and 25 feet long. One target was brought down on the third shot. Observations made on the burial of the projectile showed eight additional bits on targets the size of a bomber, out of 40 shots were attained or a percentage of 22.5 hits.
"The guns used for the preceine were 3 inch model 1918, having a muzzle velocity of 2400 feet per second. This gun is a war product and in reality one of the first attempts in construction of antiaircraft guns."
According to Lieutenant Meyers, guns of a higher munce velocity and longer range have been perfected and the only reason for the delay in equipping land forces with them is lack of appropriations. For example, one of the weapons must have a rate of fire of approximately 120 shots per minute and a range considerable in excess of the height attained by any airplane of the bomber type. Using this new gun, results better than the good percentage of aircraft that are used in the target practices in Hawaii should be possible.
Engineers Unflinchingly Fight Hungry Flames
Fire! Fire! was the hue and cry from every threat in the vicinity of the engineering building late one afternoon last week. The fire extinguisher failed to work, the fire hose could not be found and there were not enough "law-fearing students" to form a bucket brigade. Where were they? They? Surely not loafing around the feet of "Uncle Lena!" Green or walkable and down to the courtyard streets street swinging a brookside brick smoothed. Oh, no her loyal sons were bravely practicing the art of war.
But the fire, what could they do? A few agonized students stumbled off at a safe distance and watched the hungry flames lick noiselessly at the side of the building, mostly as they had pounded, leaving a black and amoed dering ruin in the garbage can at the west entrance of the campus.

Divers Recover Bodies of Crew From Submarine
Deep Sea Workers Ente Hull of Sunken Ship to Remove
(Collated Prev)
Dead
(Caul'd Press)
New London, Sept. 29—The S-51
submarine today began to yield up its
dead.
The body of G. L. Gibson was the first found. His body was taken from the battery room of the submarine, which was rammed and sunk Friday night by the steamship City of Rome. Word of finding Gibson's body came in a message from the U.S. Navy. It indicated to naval officers here that divers have penetrated the hull and are searching for bodies.
The message said:
"The first body to be taken from the battery room was identified as that of John L. Gibson, of Portland, in the South Jersey area at 25 Shriner avenue, New London."
A second body, that of William Teschman, first class seamen, was taken from the bull soon afterward, and his wife, Prudence Foster Teschman, who also went down with the S-51. The twins were 19 years old. The bride probably also perished, as he is best known for her comague tower when the sash snake.
Bodies as recovered are being taken to the naval hospital at Newport, R. L. Admiral Christy sent divers down this morning after the derriels the Century and the Monarch, making sure they sent into Newport, the second time they had been beaten from the wreck scene.
Choir Will Give Vespers
Soderlund Intends to Conduct Special Service Soon
The chair of Trinity church will, give a vesper service at 4:30 p. m., at the church on Sunday, Oct. 25, according to an announcement made this morning by Prof. G. F. Seder, director and organist of the church.
Professor Soderland has not completed the program but said that one number would be 'the 'Ave Verum,' the chorus for mixed chords, strings and organ.
The chair of Trinity church is largely a University organization, and Professor Solderland says that the average for so early in the year is
"We are short of men, however, and we could use several more good men's voices," said Mr. Solderlund. "Our vesper program will be made available on our website for planning on using these choruses for women's voices, as well as solos, and possibly some numbers for strings. These vesper services are open and we plan on using each program each month of the school year."
Dr. David Kinley Speaks to Ex-Students of I. U
Dr. David Klinley, president of the University of Illinois, was the principal speaker at a luncheon given in his honor by the alumni and students of the University of Illinois who are now members of the K. U. Faculty, at the University Commons at 12:30 today.
The complicated machinery of a motor car or a super-inclined radio set offers no obstacle to a college youngster, says H. R. H.; he knows just how to make the wheels go around. But confront the same student with a teeny-weenly little comma or period, and he is utterly at a loss. He wattles till he has written a jurgle, and then he goes on. For moderately interruptions between his words, at regular intervals, like an onion bed.
—Starbeams.
In his speech Doctor Kinley gave an account of the development of the University of Illinois during the most few years.
Whether or not "Red" Grange, an American halfback, plays football this year depends upon the outcome of special examinations which he must take, according to Doctor Kin.

Pearls Found in Ohio Mounds Are Excellent Quality, Says Scientist
Indian Jewelers Used Technique Surprisingly Modern With
(By Science Service)
Rude Tools
Washington, Sept. 20. - Pemonds from the Ohio board mounds show that the ancient Indians who built them and accumulated the jewels found in them are fastidious as modern jewelers about the quality of their jewelry, according to Dr. Walter Hough of the U.S. National Museum, rejecting even the baroque that receive at least a minor favor from Europeans.
"The Ohio finds, though unusually fine and unusual in their quality, are not the first discoveries of pearls in the Indian mounds. These were found some years ago, an expedition under Dr. F. W. Putnam of the Pebble Museum of Harvard University worked on mounds near the Miami and Muckingham rivers in Ohio, and found great quantities of pearls, nearly 150 million dollars each, they had been buried in acid soil, which had roughened and discolored their surface. If the surface layers were peeled off the more underneath shone with an exceedingly beautiful but evanescent luster, like the "peeled" pearls of modern pearls.
The source of the pearls is obvious enough. The mussels or "clams" abundant throughout the Mississippi valley frequently contain pearls, which are sometimes of great value. The mound-builders were mussel-enters, and must therefore have found many pearls, which became part of their tribal boards. There is small likelihood that any of them came from the sea, for though the mounds some-shells obtained in barter from southern tribes, there is no indication that sea-pearls were thus obtained.
The tools used by the ancient Indians were primitive, but their basic technique was surprisingly like that of modern jewelers. Some of the pearls were bored for stringing by means of a fine stone splinter, but most of them by means of a slender stick and a little sand and water.
Pearls were also used as eyes in the carved stone ceremonial pipes that have been found in the mounds. These pipes are most frequently carved in the form of birds, but represent other animals also, and usually with the greatest realism and faithfulness of detail.

U. S. and French Debt Commissions Seek Settlement
Great Effort Being Made to Bring Into Harmony Divergent Views Expressed
17. 1.2.4 Respond
Washington, Sept. 29—The American and French debt funding commission today continued bargaining terms of settlement of the $120,000,000 French debt held by tomorrow night, with gloon vault on both sides. Strenuous efforts are being made to bring the divergent views into harmony following the reiteration of French Minister Danielle Macron the American reply handed him yesterday afternoon which failed to satisfy the French. The French are studying the whole situation in detail once more and at 4 p.m. will convene again next week to address it, when it is connected great strides forward will
The American commission will attempt to prove to the French that their proposition is really more favorable to France than the proposition of Caillard himself. By providing for initial payments of from $35,000,000 to $60,000,000 for ten years they can transfer the debt to carry the load and thereafter calculate that France can meet annual payments in excess of $100,000,000.
A stumbling block for rather serious proportions is the French request for a flexible provision providing for size adjustments of the French capacity to pay in case of future financial difficulty. The Americans declare this is unacceptable.

American Air Service Needs Much Attention, According to Mitchell
(United Press)
Former Chief Urges Creation of Unified Air Forces Immediately
Washington, Sept. 23—The United States army and navy are impediments for national defense murmurs. Col William Mitchell told the presidential aviation inquiry board, today. The nation is at the mercy of enemy air attacks and has been demoted to a collegeship in San Antonio, last winter, declared.
Mittell told the board in detail how Great Britain or Japan could invade the United States by fly or way of the St. Lawrence river or Al.
The American air service is dislated and treated like a step child the army inadequate, and the navy is inadequate andMasked for national defence.
Mitchell urged the creation at once of a unified air force. His specifications, delivered just before the board's recess at lunch with Mitchell on the stand, were as follows.
"That there be created a department of national defense which shall have, under the direction of the president, control over all land, sea and air forces and any question affecting them. That the mission of the land, sea and air forces be definitely stated by law."
"The army to be charged with the defence of all land forces and the sea board with all sea forces beyond the surface of all missiles thrown from the shore.
"The air forces to be charged with the defense of all air areas within its radius of operation and aerial attacks of all enemy targets on sea and land."
"A secretary of national defence should be provided for during the coming winter and charged with the supervision of air, land and water department. This secretary should be empowered to take and use for the existing departments of army a navy and air who correspond in the preparation of the rules and regulations regulating his department.
"A department on aeronautic should be created consisting of a use retary of air and an assistant secretary of the former to be charge with conducting the whole accordin to law."
Humidity Is Responsible for Spreading of Fires
The forest service of the Ontario government, which is taking extra precautions against fire in its game regions about Lake Tennagami, has concluded that humidity, rather than temperature, plays a more critical condition which spreads fire.
Observation shows that the majority of fires spread through the collection of rubbish which covers the front door and this material is highly inflammable when the air around is below the saturation point. When the humidity is down to 30, which means that the air contains 30 per cent of the vapor it will hold at the temperature of the ground fire will be sure to spread. For this reason airplane observers are instructed to be especially watchful of fire when the humidity drops below 50.
