NEW YORK. Dee. 21. —Unusual <*pportunities await foreign aeronautical englneers and capitalista in South America, where thè people are mmifesting a keen interest in aviation, according to George F. K. Lukes, British commissioner of thè world's board of aeronautical commissionerà, and member of thè Rovai Aeronautica! Society of Glasgow, Scotland. Air. Lukes said that commercial alr Knes could be operated successfully in thè Latin countries provided thè operators made good on their schedules and p- ,rided equipment other than obsolete surplus war planes. Mr. Lukes atuòied thè aeronautical sitnatio. in Brazil, Argentina, Perù and Chile. “Outsiders who would realize on thè ©pportunities there will be a little handicapped by those who went to South America immediately aster thè war and exploited companies which did not make good.” he said. “Sur plus planes were dumped there in great quantities; Service on thè lines which were opened was unsatisfactory and stock selling propositions were gotten up. The Latin-American will patronize airplanes, if thè line* are operated efficiently, but he will be skeptical until he is convinced of performance.” Mr. Lukes said that Argentina effered thè best fìeld for commercial aeronautics. Ranchers and wheat growers lived long distances from Buenos Aires, and they would prefer trave’ing by piane than by railroad. The country being fiat, landings could be macie anywhere, he said.

NEW YORK, Dee. 21.—Marti ed fife not only seems longer than hachelorhood or tho spinister’s mortality thread, but it actually is. Dr. Royal S. Copeland, health commissioner of New York City, and elected United States Senator from | New York, with eharts and figures i shows that harness adda to thè span of years, and thè freo lance is brok 'n early. The answer being in thè afflntuitivo, and indisputably backed by figures, thè next question is, “Why?" and Dr. Copeland today specified: “Married peopje live in beittìr homes and under more normal conj ditions than those who have no mate. "The married man has his wifo to | take care of him. During thè fin | epidemie more single men died than i married men, for that reason. But more married women had to look aster families as woll as thomselves. They did that that tlie families mlght live. But thè mortality rute among wiflows w r as lower than that among married women. because thè widows had no husband to care for and worrk about.” Lise Span Great or Dr. Copeland pointed out that thè average fife span of New Yorkers is : about fifty-three years. Fifty years I ago it was only forty-three years. ! This seems to hold good throughout thè country, he said. Americana, bacause of thè strenuous lise, must be wary aster 45 and up to 80. Aster that thè rest is easy, and 100 years should not be unusual. There are more than 3,500 men and women in thè United States who are more than 100 years old. Dr. Copulami over 100 years old, Dr. Copeland’s figures showed. ILLUMINATED CROSS IS VISIBLE SEVEN MILES Cliurch Erects Electric Sign to Advertise Faith. MASONTOWN, W. Va.. Dee. 21.
