LIVING COSTS BOOST HINGES ON TARIFF BILL Senate Group to Work All Summer, Drafting New Schedules. Bp Scripp*-Haward Krwspnpir AVinnrr WASHINGTON, June 14—Nineteen perspiring members of the senate finance committee, in a crowded smoke-filled room, are attempting tq decide whether the cost of living throughout the United States shall be increased generally for the next several years. Six weeks’ toil in summer heat lies before them, in considering the house tariff bill which increases hundreds of rates and. according to some authorities, will put an additional burden of $500,000,000 to $700,000,000 a year on consumers. Hearings are to be public, a concession made vmcn senate progressives promised a fight on the committee's earlier decision to meet in secret. Os the eleven Republican members, nine represent big eastern industrial states. Only two members come from the Mississippi, and even these— Senators S. M. Shortridge of California and Reed Smoot of Utah—are from states interested in high rates. And of the eight Democrats, one, Senator David I. Walsh, is from high-tariff Massachuettes. and several others from states vitally interested in protection. On February 11 of each year the Japanese celebrate the accession of their earliest emperor, Jimmu, who is said to have lived more than 25 centuries ago.

Flies Without Flying
This new "flight tutor,” invented by W. E. Hoffman, of the United States army, stationed at Wright Field, Dayton, is shown as it was demonstrated the other day at Pittsburgh with Miss Neil O'Day in the cockpit. You get all the sensations of flying and have all the experience without leaving the ground—very far. The inventor claims a half hour in the tutor is equal t-o three hours in the air.
FAKE WINS DRINK TILT Remains Steadily on Feet as Twelfth Class of ‘Whisky’ Is Downed. It u I ,i 4 •! i'l l ** LYONS, France, June 14. A crowd in a bar here was astounded at what seemed to be the phenomenal drinking capacity of one Leon Ravier in a whisky bout with his friend. Mohammed Ben Ourlah. Each contended he could drink
twelve glasses of whisky virile the clock was striking midnight. As the last drop of the last glass hit Mohammed’s stomach he struck the floor with a bang and was carried home in a grave condition while Leon remained steadily on his feet. Later investigation proved that Leon had connived with the barman to fill his dozen glasses with water instead of whisky.

AIR FORCE IS NATION'S FIRST DEFENSE LINE Coast Fortifications Made Obsolete By Planes, Says Expert. • Bn St.'A SrrvirrNEW ORLEANS. June 14—The j air force of the United States navy I is now the country’s first line of | defense. If war comes, the naval air force i will be the first unit to get into ac- | tion —and on its success or failure i will depend, in large measure, the ultimate outcome of hostilities. And no longer is the seacoast the main object of defense —huge air- ! plane carriers hovering 250 miles off shore, could discharge fleets of airplanes that could cross the coast and bomb cities far inland. This is the assertion of Ernest Lee Jahncke, the flying first assistant secretary of the navy, who is making a national tour of inspection, accompanied by two naval pilots, in a big Ford tri-motored plane. He flew from Washington to New Orleans in eleven hours. Since he entered the cabinet last March Jahncke has been making an especial study of the navy’s air problems and air needs. In an exclusive interview here he told what the navy’s air force does, what it needs and what it costs. The invention of the airplane, he asserts, has caused as great a revolution in naval tactics and strategy as the famous Merrimac and Monitor did in the Civil war. ‘‘Always we have been told that the navy was America’s first line of defense,” he said. "Now it is the navy’s air force. A navy limited to the surface of the sea might
as well be scrapped. You can’t conceive a navy without airplanes any more than you can conceive a navy without battleships. “Under the conditions that will mark the next war, if it ever comes, America’s coast defense system of forts with disappearing guns is as obsolete as if those guns were muz-zle-loading smooth bores. The only system thata can meet the new air attack—which would be the first attack on our coasts—is a system of navy airplane carriers out at sea, backed by heavy artillery on railroad trucks—mobile coast artillery. And, to supplement that, the great industrial centers and cities like New York and 'Washington and Boston and Pittsburgh must have landing fields where combat planes can be assembled for defense, and must be protected by anti-aircraft batteries. The outflow of fresh water from the Amazon river into the ocean is over a million cubic feet a second. This fresh water is found at a distance of more than 200 miles out from shore.
