With Hundreds of Men Learning to Fly Accidents Are Few. , Records of the War Department show that from the beginning of training in June, 1917, to February 22, 1918. the fatalities at military av iation fields in this country have been 51; 10 offlceis and 29 cadets killed in training flights, and 12 men killed in unauthorized flights and ground acci dents. Since the training began In the United States, student aviators have flown considerably more than 100,000 miles. Hundreds of hitherto inexper ienced men have been learning to fly. Their early flights are under the gui dance of Instructors, and prior to these flights two or more months are spent in preliminary ground work. There comes a time, however, when every student aviator must take his machine up alone, and every precau tion has been taken to reduce the number of accidents and safeguard the aviator in his solo flights. Food and Fuel Supplies Are Short in Many European Countries. A Swiss commercial paper states that there is a great shortage in coal of all kinds, an insufficient supply of wood for fuel, and small reserves In oils and grease throughout Switzer land. Fresh eggs have disappeared from the market. Dry vegetables are becoming more scarce. A project to manufacture flour from potatoes had to be abandoned because sufficient supplies of potatoes could not be se cured. V; In Holland coal and coke prices have been advanced. In American terms, the maximum price for anthra cite is about $22 a ton'; coke, $10 a ton; coal briquets, $25 a ton. Dis tribution is carefully regulated by cards, in specified quantities. The amount allowed, especially to resi dence, Is much smaller than in peacu times.

Airplane Motor Tested Ik Altitude Room' at Washing! md. When the first Liberty motor was ready to be tested it was takes to i Pike's Peak that it might be studied j while running under atmospheric ! conditions obtaining at high- altitudes, j This difficulty of bringing the motor to the mountain is now overcome, at the Department of Commerce Bur eau of Standards si Washington, by bringing the mountain to the motor. Airplane motors are now tested at the Bureau of Standards in a labor atory where various conditional cor responding to high altitudes and low temperatures are secured. The en gine is placed in an sir-tight con crete room, provided among ether things with refrigerator colls and large pump to reduce the pressure of the air. By nse of this snoaratax motors may be observed under condi tions similar to those at different al titudes, which might otherwise be done only by actual airplane Bights. 9W x Your Wife and YoiiS wiU both be swtfsied wftft purchased at Jasgvs Bros.
