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 |

ELECTED BY TOWN LANDSLIDE
Chesapeake City Victors All Chosen

Chesapeake City. Mil., May 4.—The

years was held here yesterday, the larg

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."

SERVICE BOARD URGES
CHANCES IN THE LAW
Wculd Require Steam Railroads to
Make Just Compensation .for Loss
of Property From Fires Occurring
Close to Their Lines
An interesting feature of the report
of the Public Service Commission for
the year ending June 30, 1914, is that
bearing on grade crossings.
"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.
