2 UNCLE HARRY EXPLAINS AIR-SHIPS IN THE WAR "Are,flying mfc.'hines being used in | the war?" asked Jimmy. "J should My they are!" said Uncle Harry emphatically. "They have been, used from the very outbreak of hew-! utilities, last August, and they will be j used until peace is declare*!.'' t ; "Have the dying machines made! this war different from other wars?''' inquired Joe. * ' * Decidedly,'' said Uncle Harry. '' In fact, the flying machine has played such a prominent part in the war that there is no telling what different re-, suits there would have been without this wonderful invention.'* • "The German flying machines have been flying o\er England and drop ping bombs and the allies' flying ma chines have been dropping bombs on J the part of France and Belgium oc- j «ttpt(d by the Germans, haven "t j they " said Jimmy. "Yes. that's right,"' said Uncle' Harry, "but before we go any further I want to explain the two principal kinds of flying machines. The aero plane is a • heavier-than-air' machine. It has planes—which are like box kites, and it also has a gasoline engine j which drives a propeller. It is the same as a gasoline launch, except that instead of the propeller driving j the the water, it drives) it through the air. When you fly a box kite you pull it as >ou run along the ground; an aeroplane is pushed through the air, but it goes up just the same as a box kite. "The. second kind of flying machine i ■that is being used in the war—and s tnis is the kind that Germany is using in her raids on England, is the i dirigible airship. But this kind of a flying machine isn't really a flying machine because it doesn't fly. It i? 1 a Walloon, made of rubber, shaped l like a big and filled with gas. The old-fashioned balloon was shaped like a pear and the piseengers rode in a small basket under th# gas bag. The gas and the weight of the hal- i loon, together, were lighter ihan air,, and so the big gas bag—for that is about all there is to a balloon, rose from the ground as soon as the anchor ropes were untiefl. It traveled wher ever the wind blew it. The men in | C. V.

ELECTED BY TOWN LANDSLIDE Chesapeake City Victors All Chosen by Large Majorities Chesapeake City. Mil., May 4.—The moat spirited municipal election in years was held here yesterday, the larg est vote ever being cast. Byron Bou-; chelle was elected president of the Jward over William T. Harriott by a j vot-e of 147 to 79. Arthur Deibert and! Bennett Steele were elected commis- j ftioner& for two years, defeating Noble the basket came down by letting out' the gas. "But the dirigible has a light metal car under the cisyar-shaped gas bag, and a gasoline engine and propeller just as the aeroplane. «.\Vith the engine to drive the propeller the dirig ible caw go wherever it is steered. In fact, that is what the word 'dirigible' means —capable of being steered.'' "Are the aeroplanes and dirgibles used only to drop bombsf asked Jimmy. "No, indeed." said Uncle Harry quickly, "the most important work done by the airships is scouting Oavalrv and soldiers on foot, who knew the country well, used to be the scouts in the old-time wars. But every army in' Europe to-day has its corps of aeroplanes and the German gen erals also use the dirigibles invented by the famous Count Zeppelin. When you see anything in the newspapers abotit the 'Zeppelins' it means the dirigibles invented by Count Zeppelin. "As an army marches through a country an aeroplane flies just ahead of the soldiers and looks for the enemy, and when the soldiers are fighting, aeroplanes are constantly fly ing back and forth over the battle field. The soldiers riding in the aero plane has signals wljich he asps in sending menaces to the army officers who generally travel in automobiles in the rear of the soldiers. When the German army marched into Belgium an. aeroplane was at the head of the procession, and then came soldiers on motorcycles and automobiles. So you see. bovj, this war is different in most every way from any other war." "Do the airships carry gunsf" asked Joe. "Yes. they*are equipped with small, quick firing guns and there have been several fights between German aero planes and dirigibles and aeroplanes of the allies." said Uncle H*rry. "The armies also have specially made guns for firing up in the air at the airships. No class of men who are engaged in the war are taking such risks as the aviators—the soldiers who go up in the aeroplanes and the dirigibles." Copyright, 1915, by The .M-C Syndi cate.

"During this period." says the re port, meaning the year of the report, •'sixv-one crossings which had exist ed where railroads and railways crossed other railroads or railways at grade were abolished entirely. In six other instances under-grade crossings, and in eight other instances overhead crossings were' substituted and established. When the danger of life, person and property is given due consideration it is impos sible to overestimate Jhe benefit to the community which has resulted and is likely to result in the future from such action. '"Having regard to the comparatively short time which the Commission has been inexistence, it must eb conceded that iu this direction much has been accomplished. Had nothing else been done, this result alone would appear to be a justification of the judgment of tlose wlUKwert responsible for the cre ation or the Commission. "The provision of the act of July 26, 1913, with respect to the abolition of grade crossings is the first and only comprehensible plan ever established under legislative authority within the State for the elimination of these dan gerous conditions, and it is to be hoped that every effort will be made to con tinue and increase effectiveness." 13,351 Persons Hurt in Year Regarding the appalling number of railroad and railway accidents, the re port says that during the year 13,351 persons were more or less injured; 15 passengers, 328 employes, 535 trespass ers and 93 unclassified persons were killed on the railroads, and 15 em ployes, 19 passengers, 20 trespassers and 116 unclassified persons were killed on the railways. One hundred and twenty-four persons were injured or killed at grade crossings. In referring to the tunnel accident at Phoenixville. where several persons were asphyxiated by the accumulation of gas, the report says that an investi gation with regard to the method of constructing and the existing condition of all tunnels in the State is now in progress with a view of ascertaining whether they arc adapted for the traf fic of to-dav. i During the year 251 complaints weVe i filed, ranging from discriminatory rates I to inconveniently high steps on cars, and, of these, 129 were finally decided, often to the satisfaction of both par ties. The Commission is of the opin ion that excessive rates and imperfec tion of service should not be remedied by competition, accompanied by niuch expense, but by the exeil'ise of the t'om : mission"s power in the premises. This i has led to an attempt to repeal that j part of the law giving the Commission | such powers. The requirement that con- I =ideration of contracts between public I service companies and municipalities I must be advertised has been the means of protecting interests and avoiding liti ! gation, the report says. New Legislation Urged Following a list of its achievements, which were made public from time to time as thev occurred, the Commission says legislation covering the following matters is recommended: Knabling the Commission to prevent tariffs and rates from going into effect until after the expira'ion of ninety 1 days in order to give the Commission j time to determine their reasonableness. Regulating the payment of witness fees and costs incident to hearings be | fore the Commission. Amending the section relating to j discrimination and preference as to j service striking out the word "in t adequate." Waking trespassers upon railroads liable to arrest and punishment. Requiring steam railroads to make just compensation for loss or damage of property' resulting from firfg caused by railroads and arising within one hundred feet of their rights of way, outside of the territorial limits of cit ies and boroughs.
