FRENCH PLAN AIR SERVICE fOne of the Schemes Calls for Route Across Europe Paris, May 7.—Elaborate plans international air services are "ow being worked out by the French government and it is probable that some of them will be Inaugurated soon after the Peace Conference has finished work and promulgated its .decisions for the control of aviation, pn addition France will establish air i routes which will be entirely within pier own boundaries and therefore tinder her control alone. One of the most pretentious ischemes is that for a service which "will run London, Paris Marseilles, Home, Naples, Brlndise, Constanti nople. Another line will be estab lished between Parts and Morocco, and Paris and Madrid probably will he linked up. There are at picsent two services out of Paris, one to London and the other to Lile and Brussels. The for mer is at the mo.nent for military business only, but plans have been ( laid for a service that will benefit (the general public.

It takes only about three hours for the trip, so that a telegram could be deli"ered quicker in this manner than by wire. It is probable that a charge of per haps three francs would be made for the carrying of letters. The line between Paris and Brus sels is for passengers and nil air plane is making one Itip a week each way. The fare is abort three hundred francs. This service 'a a private enterprise run by one of the big airplane firms, although it is government controlled. Two other firms are about to start similar services with the pet mission of the government. In view of this, it is probable that no regular gov ernment service will be established, although of course, military air planes are carrying supplies and dis patches to the front daily. The time required to fly to Brussels from Paris is about two hours and a half. U. S. Flyers Will Not "Hop Off" Today fly Associated Press. New York, May 7.—No attempt will be made to-day by the United States Navy's trans-Atlantic aviators to "hop off" on the first leg of their journey because of adverse weather conditions, it was announced by Commander John T. Towers, the flight commander. Army Horses and Mules Are Returning to Farms in West Dallas, Texas. May 7.—Demobili zation of the army mule and horse is going forward rapidly, according to figures on Government sales just compiled by C. O. Moser, live stock inspector of the purchasing quarter master. The figures show that during the war the Government bought 115,000 head of horses and mules at a total cost of $27,000,000 in the Southern and Central purchasing zones. When hostilities ended, the Government owned about 500.000 head of horses and mules, 300,000 in the United States and 200.000 in France, only 70,000 of the latter number having been shipped from this country. Because of the big demand for these animals on Central West farms the Government has been hurrying distribution, and when auctions now advertised are completed, 150.000 animals will have been placed back on farms since January 1. Cavalry horses cost the Govern ment an average of $165. artillery horses $l9O and mules $l9O, ac cording to these figures. At the sales cavalry horses have brought an av erage of $B5, artillery horses $l5O and draft mules $l6O. The sales have included many worn out ani mals, some selling for as little as $lO. On the other hand, many ani mals have brought fancy prices. Hurley Asks Pacific Coast Shipbuilders To Confer With Him fly Associated Press. Washington, May 7.—Pacific coast shipbuilders are asked by Chairman Hurley to come to Washington at an early date and discuss with the Shipping Board the question of re placing canceled contracts and ad justing payments to be made in connection with the construction of shipyards as a war emergency. Mr. Hurley said that all ques tions involved in the Pacific coast shipbuilding program would be dis cussed at the meeting. It is under stood that the board expects to award numerous additional con tracts to the Pacific coast yards be cause of the excellent record made bv them during the war. No date was set by Mr. Hurley in his telegram of invitation. It was said that the board could confer at any date convenient to the ship builders.

I Atlantic City, N. J., May 7.—The | first "arrest" ever made here by \ airship was effected to-day by ; members of New York's aerial po i lice acting in conjunction with the 1 authorities of Atlantic county. | It was the principal event of "po l lice day" at the Pan-American i Aeronautical convention and at tracted a large crowd of spectators ;to the flying field at Chelsea | Heights, included among which i were representatives of many city governments in the east. The motor car of Sheriff Alfred Perkins, of Atlantic county, was I "stolen" from the aviation field by |an Atlantic City detective. The j "thief" headed across the meadows 1 toward Pleasantville, five miles dis tant. When the sheriff discovered the "theft" he hopped aboard Ed die Stinson's airplane and the two gave chase. Deputy Chief S. Her bert Mapes, of the New York aerial force, and other members of the New York air squad joined in the chase. The "thief" was overtaken a few miles from the city by Perkins and the aerial police and placed un der "arrest." Fifteen members of New York's aerial police gave other demonstra tions on the liying field. How Metals Get Tired By Overwork By (Jarrett P. Scrviss. Here, from a popular viewpoint, is an unpromising looking technical question, which nevertheless opens up a glimpse of some of the most fascinating mysteries of the world of matter, which aftuct us every day of our lives: "Can a tailshaft of an ocean-go ing steamer get in a state where you would call it 'tired' from con stant work? Would a rest of a certain period increase its strength and better its condition?" A tailshaft is the after section of a propellor shaft, and one may say that if any piece of machinery can get "tired" a tailshaft ought to. Engineers use the term "fa tigue" to express an effect of over strain on metals. Some say that this is a misuse of the word, though convenient; others aflirm that it expresses a real and close resem blance to the effects of overwork on living organism. In a broad, phil osophical sense, the last assertion may be substantially correct. The road that leads from the inorganic into the organic world,, appears more continuous and less obstructed the further the exploration of it is pushed. Certainly the manner in which a "fatigued" piece of structural iron or steel recovers or can be helped to recover its strength and. so to speak, its working power, upon be ing relieved from overstrain that lias injured or weakened it, is interest ingly suggestive of what happens to a horse or a man in similar cir cumstances. Speaking imaginatively, to be sure, but still within the limits of reason able analogy, one might say that overworked metal "recuperates" through rest much as an overworked muscle does. But the process is not so rapid, and perhaps a stronger "tonic" needs to be applied from ex ternal sources. The engineer in dealing with the question of the strength of his ma terials uses certain terms which need to be understood by all who think of the subject even in the most gen eral way. When a force is exerted upon a body, that to ly is said to experience a "stress," and any change of shape, however small, that the stress produces in the body is called a "strain." Elasticity is that property of a body which causes it to recover its original shape when a stress is removed. The "elastic limit" is the measure of greatest stress that can be put upon a body without straining it beyond its power to recover completely, or nearly completely its original shape. Tf it. cannot recover it is said to have a "permanent set." "Ultimate strength' is the measure of the stress re quired to produce rupture of the body. "Working stress" is the amount of stress that is regarded, in any particular case, as safe to apply, and the "factor of safety" is the ratio of ultimate strength to the working strength. It should never be less than 3, and often it exceeds 5; that is to say, the stress is kept down to from 1-3 to 1-5, or e\cn less, of the ultimate strength. It will help to clearness of understanding if the meaning of these terms is kept in mind. One remarkable fact developed by experiment is that time plays a not able part in the results of the appli cation of stress beyond the elastic limit. When the stress has been pushed beyond that limit a certain time must elapse before the full strain corresponding to that particu lar stress will be developed. And if by a certain stress, constantly ap plied, i. e., a certain "load," a con stant strain is maintained, after some time the stress required to maintain that degree of strain dimin ishes. Still more remarkable is sucli an experiment as this: If a piece of iron or steel is sub jected to a given load and the strain is pushed beyond the elastic limit, and then the load, or stress, is re moved and k#pt off for a consider able interval of time, it will be found when the load is aghin applied, that the ultimate strength of the metal has in the meantime increased. This comes about through a hardening process that has taken place during the interval in the metal. It might be likened to the "hard ening" of a muscle by continued ex ercise, although the analogy is not precise. Overstrain produces in the metal a change of properties which, it has been found, may continue to go on during weeks and months af ter the stress producing the strain has been removed. These effects are the result of something which occurs in the metal affecting the arrangement of its con stituent crystalline grains. Examina tion with the microscope shows that overstrain alters the shape of the metallic grains, elongating them in the direction of the force. Alterna tions in the direction and also in the amount of stress produce this "fa tigue." But rest, especially when accompanied by the application of heat, as in annealing, more or less, completely restores the lost strength. Use McNeil's Cold Tablets. Adv.
