New York, Nov. 28. rTh recent In

orld's greatest ; airmen flew, gav' a
cw impetus to and a new interest' in
ho recently organized United States
-txmautlcaJ Reserve. 5 -
This was the organisation that was
brought about In order that the United
States, in the event of war, njight be
: : Tf d the services of a body of men
lulled In ' the use of balloons, dlrlgl
Uen, aeroplanes and i all of ...the latest
inventions of aviation. A The organlsa
ion from its inclpiency was unique In
uiat' there is perhaps no other purely
.uriotic volunteer organisation In' the
world .that 'has for Ks founders' and
backers so many men of, wealth as has
this. Its board of directors includes
ho nam'S of a goodly number of New
York's millionaires' and Us membership
includes " many ? more.' , 1- Jlvlatton,- of
course. Is an expensive sport ; or scl
noe, as the point of -view may be, and
i he wealthy ' backers i"cbrae In very
i andy. The Reserve, therefore, ' has
been able to do a few; things in the
brief two. months Of its exjstenqe that
the ordinary : patriotic volunteer socl
rty -would need at least a life time to
accomplish. ,
laborats Quarters Pitted TJp.
To bfgin wltn, the Reserve, with trie
feid of the muiiey tlattsweaJtliy
"ovndera have free contributed, has
established national - headquarters at
tho corner Of Twelfth street and Fifth
avoraie In the old Lenox mansion, form
erly one of the most aristocratic 'rest
I'-nccs in the city. The lease on this
would have staggered the treasury of
moet organizations of the kind for sev
Tal years to come, while- the furnish-
Ings that have been Installed would
S'robably have crippled it forever. The
new headquarters, however,, in spite of
ill tlwtr cost, ftre not to be exclusive,
''hey are to become ; essentially the
home' of aviation in America and the
Hub house of everyone interested In
iviation. There has been Installed an
,-iviatton- library, aviation periodicals
re on file, while drawings, photographs
and everything pertaining to aviation
v- ill be- kept for those interested. At
tho same time, the society will wel
come the " ideas of anyone who has
omethlng to offer on the subject of
itvlation that might be ue.ful to the
: vernmenL Matter of this kind can

t he government at the first possible
opportunity. . The headquarters are to
Ut tH0 ' Cf adle,: . the I nursery and . ; the
l.orne of aviation for government use'
, The second Ithlngv;. that- the-r Reserve
with its millionaire backing has done
is to found a magazine, "The Airscont
that will have for ita one purpose the
development ,' for ' government Use of
aviation in America. If there is any
one real .expensive luxury In the United
States, It is magazine publishing for
philanthropic motives, and the appear-
anco of "The Alwcout" would indicate
that its; backers have put up nobly for
it r rather nobly for the government
interests that it is intended to serve.
It Is the very acme of the magazine
publisher's art and is as- attractive out
Fide and inside as the oldest established
magazine oa the -market, " While it will
ell for the usual magazine - price of
3 0 centa a copy, it Is never expected
tiiat the proceeds will make It a self
paying proposition, but if icaervea its
purpose of4 building up an aeronautical
reserve for the government' that will
make that of any European country
lnote like an amateur venture, the foun
ders promise , not to mind the thous
ands that the magazine will probably
k wa llow. I-..V:.-Vw -'.- -- ' rff " j
If the rather aristocratic headquar
ters of the new -organization are not
meant to be exclusive, it is equally In
venoea wax ute organization snail not
be exclusive.'. Of course, , primarily the
reserve wants on its ; membership list
: ate a balloon or an airship, because It
wants an effective body of men to offer
to the government in case of war. But
the membership is Just as equally open
to everyone Who is really interested in
the science of aviation, for, government
tise and who is willing, to put up one
i-mall dollar for membership and one
small dollar, a year for dues, v John

John D. Rockefeller . may ' consider
! thatne is something of a financier, but
i it is very likely he himself would be
j the first to adroit that his proper place
i is selling peanuts on , the corner com
pared to that of a certain Broadway
j nwsboy, who Is known : only by-the
i name of "Stubby." -
Stubby" got into fame by reason of
the recent aviation meet ' It so i hap
pened that when John B. Moisant, the
daring young American aviator came
over from Paris, he brought with him
one small black cat that bad the honor
ef bulng thhrOnly cat that ever flew
i from, Parla. to. London.. - It flew at the
same time that Moisant established a
new world's record by making an aero
plane ' flight i between the two cities
with a passenger. The passenger was
in addition to the cat, and as a con
Kequnnce Moisant wouldn't have traded
t hat cat for the cup which the London
Daily Mail gave him for having made
toe mgrii
At tho Hotel Astor, therefore, where
Moisant put up, there wasn't anything
too good for the cat. But. pussy got
tired cf it all,' and one day was seen
vrilphvilae; down from' the third story,
and then Executing a series, of spirals
nil it got outside, whexe it immedi
ately started out to make both a speed
aid a long distance record. It never,
i-ame bijick from either, and the grief
of Moisant knew no. bound a . r ?,
However, what, was Molsant's loss
w "Stubby's": gain, and the news of
thai e.jt'n disappearanoe had no sooner
rotten aljroad than "Stnbby" got busy,
lio showed up with a m allege cat and
informed the first wealthy couple be
met that It was the real missing article.
They bought It on the Jump, and autoed
away in high fcletf figuring how they
ntuld keep Moisant from .knowing that
tin-y- had .it '.; ',; ; v.-.- -' :(
Then--' tat: :caltuTei. gray cat

eat followed in this manner, and "Stub
by" waa just beginning to wonder
whether before ho died it would be bet
ter for him to use his surplus wealth
In building free public libraries or es
tablishing an institute for medical re
search, when two of the people to whom
he had sold cats, and who knew each

Declares for Parcels Post.
Because he claims that the . big ex
press companies discriminate against
the American shippers. Congressman
"William Sulser of this city, intends to
try ; to force through congress his bill
establishing a parcels post Sulser has
compiled a quantity of comparative fig
ures which he says show that the big
express companies discriminate in fa
vor of the foreign shipped. Packages
weighing three poundB, seven pound?
or 11 pounds, he says, are brought here
under i an agreement between the Brit
ish postoffice and the express compa
nies for 80 cents, 84 cents and $1.08
respectively, - They are . : then turned
over to the express companies which
have : established a common rate for
any part of the United, States of 24
cents ' for -each package. They assess
American shippers, however, from 26
cents to $3.20 for packages of the same
weights, according to the distance' trav
eled.; Discussing his bill which, be has
had" in congress several years, but
which he hag never yet been able to
get out of " committee. Congressman
'Sulzer said: today: w:.;'.:,r-r,'f
"The postal system of rates regard
less of distance, the character of the
ni.ttti r tr;in:-..'rt.- i, or the v! i ie ef

sixmr or later be greatly rvton.led over
the - great field of rtil-'.i-o tran.--porta-tion
Is absolutely certain."
The Sulr bill propopes to make the
common rate of letter postage 8 cents
a pound; to raise the narvl weight to
11 pounds; which is the common rate
prevailing elsewhere in the postal union,
and to bring about a postal express in
cities where free delivery exists.
, At present the rural free delivery
system of the country costs tho gov
ernment $36,000,000 a year. Under the
parcels post system, Sulzer claims, this
deficit would be materially reduced
from the start and finally be almost
entirely wiped out In addition It Is
believed by the congressman that if
the system is placed in effect the
present express rates will have to be
materially reduced In brder to meet the
government competition.

The ' MUHonaireL
Does Away With Partial PlaUs and
Ordinary Bridgework
The End Justifies the Means
What Boms Dentists gay About the Rex
Dental Company and the Al- ,
vsolar Method.
There is pot a DENTIST In this city
who does not know that the ALVEOLAR
METHOD is'revolutionizlng dentistry.
That it is the onlv entirely satisfactory
way to restore . missing teeth. They
know that it is the most beautiful,, most
comfortable and. most scientific way
that it will last a, life time.-That every
patient fn this city who has this work
(and there are hundreds of them) will
say, if asked, that ft la absolutely per
fect and entirely satisfactory In every
way. We know we employ .only dentists
of the very highest ability, that we have
eleven of the most successful high class
dental offices in the world," that we pay
the largest salaries paid anywhere in the
world., Thereby attracting the cream
of the profession and that every den
tist we employ is a top notcher. Yet
there is haVdly a day that one or more
people, wise enough to investigate for
themselves, de not come in and tell us
that Dr. So and So says 'It's impossible,
nothing- to it They can't do It , It
won't Inst, etc., etc.;'- We do not expect
any otner dentist to recommend his pa
tient to come to us. It is not natural
for any man to send his Business away
and to, another. But we do expect every
Honest Man to Tell the, Truth, or say
nothing. To the sensible man, knocking
Is merely a boomerang to the knocker.
Apropos the Alveolar Method Is oat-
ented and the name is Trade Marked.
We own both, west of the Missouri
river; we sold the rights east to a con
cern that does an enormous business.
No other dentists have a legal nor moral
rignt, even lr be had the skill, to do the
work. Therefore, after the merits of
this work has become known to all the
people some dentists will continue to

The Alveolar method . snrelv "meets a
lone felt want;" y A prominent banker
ot tms city says: -lam manv others.
i was a cowara anout my teeth. I kent
patting off to see the dentist until it
grew to be a necessity.' For two years
naa ; been investigating the Alveolar
system. It attracted me from the first
and the fact that other dentists did not
approve of it was no 'discouragement to
me. :,; " . ' -- . - -w--
"I finally had the Work done. . I nt
through without finding the pain which
j naa areaaeu ana was looking for. This
was a surprise as well as a relief to
me. My front teeth were badly broken
or entirely gone, with only, two of the
Jaw teeth that came together, and "they
were wearing naaiy. i now have a full
set of solid uppers and loWers, and ran
bite and chew as well as I ever could.
"I consider I was wise In erettlnar th
Alveolar system of teeth."
The work Is practically painless and
carries our guarantee of satisfaction.

Alveolar Teeth and Enunciation
The partial date - and b rid rework
which people used to wear before the
Alveolar Method of restoring missing
teeth was discovered interfered greatly
with enunciation. The very fact of a
foreign substance bains- Introduced into
tne roor oi tne mouth made it neces
sary lor people to learn to talk all over
again, A great many never succeeded.
There IB an unmistakable impediment
In the speech of anyone whose mouth
Is encumbered with a partial plate or a
priuge wiin kpucs unaerneaxn to Whis
tle through or make a metallic sound
when talking or singing. The nartlal
plate also makes it - unpleasant when
one is dining. It takes away In large
measure -the sense of taste, as It covers
up the palate. The Alveolar Method
emancipates people from the many dis
agreeable features of the partial plate,
but, nes of all, It enables one to use
the Alveolar Teeth wfth the same de
gree of satisfaction that they would use
nature's teeth.,-- -v-- .---- -
No one will pretend to say that teeth
fastened to a partial plate are any more
than a makeshifts -'They slmply-flll up
the gap in the mouth where the teeth
have been lost The Alveolar Teeth fill
up the gap and they also allow one to
cnew with tnem with entire satisfaction
Alveolar Teeth 'Where Bridgework Is
impossible. .
If only your front teeth are left say
$ or 4 or more, we can reDlaoe all those
that have. been lost on both sides clear
back with perfect Alveolar teeth, whilst
bridgework would be impossible even if
you nad 8 or 10 front teeth to tie to.
If you have only two back teeth on each
side, say molars, we can supply all the
front teeth that are missing with beau
tiful, serviceable, lifelike Alveolar teeth.
This could not possibly be done by the
bridge route. Suppose you have lost
your last (back) teeth, two .or more
upper or lower on either side. We can
replace them with Alveolar teeth. The
bridge specialist would have to advise
a partial plate which would encumber
the mouth as well as to help to destroy
your other teeth. Where you have lost
a ; few teeth there are dentists who
would extract all the rest to make room
for a plate. . (Where people have no
teeth we make plates, too, - And when
we do they look like they grew there.
V uey are scientifically, and artistically
built for service and comfort as well
as beauty.) Even Where bridgework is
possible, mere is no comparison Detween
the two. A , very large percentage of
our -work Is taking out bridgework put
in by supposedly high class dentists and
replacing 'it with the beautiful and ar
tistic Alveolar Teeth.- And unlike
bridgework in another respect, it Is
practically painless. No boring or cut
ting into the gums, nothing to be dread
ed. Now, then, ptiqes being equal, which
would you choose? -
Curing Pyorrhea (loose teeth), s". dis
ease . given up by other dentists as in
curable, is another of our specialties.
We cure it absolutely. It's a boastful
statement to make, but we can do any
thing that is possible in dentistry, and
what we do is always of the very high
est class. Our booklets, Alveolar Dentistry-are
free. Write for one if you
cannot call. We have samples of our
work to show at au times. , -, ,. -s
