by Arthur Brisbane A REAL AIRSHIP { GAMBLING PROMOTED LAWS HAMPERING BUSINESS MR. ROCKEFELLER S PLAN

Gen. William Mitchell, head of our flying forces in the war, tells you that the United States shows signs of striking out on its own account in aviation. He writes, after a visit to Akron: “I have looked over the airship being built for the Navy department at Akron. This ship is the greatest attempt of man to conquer the air. It will be able to cross the Atlantic four times without refueling. At reduced speed, it will be able to circle the globe, at the latitude of New* York. “In its front part there is a hangar which Will accommodate from four to seven airplanes, which can take off w land on the ship, at Will, and all of its ‘works’ are inside it] . “Compare a ship of this size, costing five and a half million dollars, with a surface airplane carrier that from fifty to eighty millions. The airship, alone or with its airplanes, can destroy a whole fleet of •sea vessels, and a group qf them can defend . themselves very well against air attack, with the assistance of theit own airplanes, ther power of conceal ment-and their maneuverability.** • The French government, to promote its pari-mutuel system of race track i-et'.ing, in ranges Intake bet; sly at the race course, but any where in France Bets can be sent by telegraph or mail. You deposit money in advance, not less than-5,000 francs ($20"); and the smallest (bet by wire or mail is 5 • ffanes (s2l). All profit goes to the government except purses actually won Jay the In this country we bet'on the races r.t least'?’." f-r every "i.e bet i: France, and. all the profit goes !■ bookmakers, race track touts. etc. Business men plan a tight to change .in a common-sense way] some of the laws that hamper - business and it is mme t> o soon. * Under the 3bs- ilete Sherman act. made in the days of hansom cabs, nearly half a century a|o, any of men that should now “conspire" t< stop criminal waste in the oil industry or to regulate any industrial produv ton to prevent slumps »i could be put in jail. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., serves his city by rebuilding and transforming an undeveloped section/, in the heart of New York at an expense of about >25",000,000. ' | ’ ■ This undertaking guarantees, over a long period, a very large Mid- per* mar.ent income for Columbia college It shows what can be done, with imagination, energy afid money, to improve a great city ifi a short time Most important, .Mr. Rockefeller’s enterprise will give employment U thousands qf men r •«' - . f work i’ the highly paid building trades. Mary Pickford, n New York 6n her way to London, «ys her will will compel the burning of all films of moving pictures q which she has appeared. Mary Pickford is still very y«.uhg het will. pr< baldy will not be reais for 6" or 70 years at the earliest, and everybody hopes it will be much nearer 100 jears. Perhaps, in that interval, she will realize that to de stioy pictures, which) are a most in portant part of a American industry. and Illustrate a forward step in civilisation, woulcj be a crime. Shi made her pictures, she says, to give happiness in her lifetime. She should leave them to give inspiration and information. C. J. Starkey, lawyer, of Hollywood and accustomed to big figures says Queen Isabella got a poor return when she invested $6,000 worth of jewelry in Columbus* trip to America If she then had Invested $6,000 at 5 per cent, compounded twice a year, it would amount fp>w to $4,500,000,000,000, and that says, Mr. Starkey, is “eleven and one-half times the value of the United States and all its p"saessions.” The figures are impressixe. but anyone who would sell the United States now for four and one-half trillions would make a bad bargain. Cyrus H. K. Curtis thinks, and says in an editorial: “A man who ran for office in America today with a straight anti-crime record and a convincing threat against it would come nearer to getting votes than many another candidate.” That is sound, but to fight crime you would have to fight the bootlegging that finances it, and to fight bootlegging you would-have to oppose prohibition, and that might cost more votes than it would bring. «The former kaiser, now known to Germans as William Hohensollern, has sued a German recorder of deeds because he refused to record a deed Igned “Wiilliam] I.

TOWN BOARD TAKES STEPS ABOUT ALLEY Going; To Settle Much Disputed Question, ’ Take Other Steps. The town attorney was instructed by the town board at Tuesday nigkt’s meeting, to take any action necessary -o open up “that alley” in Good’s addition in the town of Syracuse, “to free an undisputed use of the alley by the public/’ Which means that civil action will be taken by the town to determine if it has a legal right to this land >vei which for a ■ great many years discord and wrangling have broken out spasmodically. But now,, as one board member expressed himself, the mestion of the alley has become a ~eud in the north part of town-and gives the residents there something co quarrel about. By asking: “Well, how about this tlley?” Harry Clemens brought up he question at Tuesday’s meeting vhich has taken more time of the board than any other subject and covers nearly as many pages in the clerk’s minute book as all of the rest •f the town’s procedure put together, since the dispute flared out again last fall. Clemens then made the motion that he town attorney be instructed to take action to open up the alley to he public and keep it open. ;ect. Atty. Colwell declared that the dley was open ahd that anyone could go through it. He said as fails he is concerned, he is sick and tired of the whole subject and that he people directly interested in the alley couk; open it up. .He also Said hat there are only a few slats obstructing the alley and that everybody in that part of town is afraid to go through it. As to the legality of the town’s irocedure in the condemnation of he land, everything so far is right, and Colwell said he would vouch for that. Asked for his opinion James Searfess stated that all he had heard was ‘the alley” morning, noon and night, and that he was tired of the whole subject. For his part he thought the town had done enough; that .he believed with Colwell that the interested parties should open the alley. Robert Strieby believed that since the town had gone this far that it should either bring* the whole subject to a culmination by instituting court procedure, or to let the question of he alley be dropped forever. Clemens however, kept repeating , •hat it was the duty of the town to keep open its public highways, for, he wanted to know what would happen if somebody else blocked a street or alley in the center of town? Colwell stated that this was not a.parallel <;ase, as the one just cited would be a case of trespass and that the other was a question of ownership. After more discussion in which the vord “feud” was bandied about, and he matter brought up that certain parties had called the town board incomplimentary names, the motion was passed that the town attorney take any action necessary to open up that alley. Among other things brought up ind discussed at the meeting was the question of a junk yard, the dump at the entrance to the town at the north side of Syracuse lake, clean up week, and the question of the swimming hole in the mill race. Searfoss proposed that the brush which had accumulated on this dump be burned and the rubbish be cleared back and the ground leveled with i a' scraper. He said that even if this does mean improving these lots by the town and its money, that the entrance (Continued on Last Page)
