I felt very hungry. The trend of my
thought was that it must be getting
late, tha,t evening must be coming
on, but I was still climbing so I
thought I might as well stick to It a
little longer, for I knew I could
reach my celling pretty soon, then
I should go down even thouch it
were dark, I could land all right for
I had made ' night landings many
times before, and so I went to talk
ing tq myself and this I felt was a
gooa sign to begin taking oxygen and
I did. -
"I was then about 25,000 feet and
as soon as I starbed to inhale the
oxygen, tha sun grew bright again,
my motor began to exhaust so loud
that It seemed something must be
wrong wltb it I was no longer hun

most beautiful one. 1 felt like sing

I was out of gasoline, so I descend

ed to about 20,000 feet, I began to
feel much better and realized that
the lack of oxygen bad affected me,
I passed down through the. clouds
16,000 feet and as I remember, It
was snowing from these clouds upon
the next layer some 4,000 feet be
low. I am not' .positive of this as 1
may have been affected by the lack
of oxygen. I noticed as I descend
ed that the air seemed to be very
thick and etuffy, but very nice and
warm. ..... .

Washington, Nor. 13. The renub-
lican publicity association, throueh
its president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne
Jr., today gave out the following
statement from its Washington
headquarters: .'
"No other business has been hit
harder by the war than the news
paper business, particularly In the
smaller cities and country , towns.
The large metropolitan papers have
probably suffered least. During
1917, more than 1.200 publications
went out of business. After making
allowance for new papers started,
it appears that there waa a net ih
of 62 dallies and 569 weeklies..
"The mortality statistics for 1918
will probably show as great a loss.
for tbe shortage of paper, the In
creasing cost of all kinds of supplies,
and the higher wages, together with
tbe heavy call upon newspaper men
ror military service, have been more
severe this year than last" J
FOUR BILLION ANNUAL

MAY BE NEEDED IN U.S.
Washington, Nor.- IS. Govern
ment financial needs for many years
are almost certain to run above 34,-
000,000,000 annually, treasury ex
perts estimated, and most of . the
money will be raised by taxation.
Consequently students of govern
ment finances think the taxes impos
ed last year and paid In June prob
ably will not be lightened material
ly by the advent of peace.
Secretary McAdoo today . warned
that taxes necessarily would be hlgb
for many years to pay oft war debts,
and that ' additional government
loans would be required.
Roughly, treasury officials and
congressional leaders In charge of
revenue legislation figure this way:
