AIR MAIL’S PILOTS DOING GREAT WORK They Have Flown Nearly Six Million Miles. Chicago.—Pilot* winging their way hack and forth aero** the United States in the air mall aervlce had cov ered 5364,810 miles up to May 31, a distance done In 58,2(12 hours, accord ing to Luther K. Bell, traffic manager of air mall service here. It Is a gen eral average of nearly 92 miles an hoar. The names of 41 flyers who have given more than 100 hours’ service to air mail are contained In a report from Bell, with the veteran E. Ham ilton Lee, Hazelhurst headquarters, leading In number of hours. His to tal May 81 was 2387 hours and 36 minutes for a distance of 201,205 miles. He was appointed to the air mall In December, 1918, and at pres ent has the "run” between Long Is land and Cleveland. To Pilot William C. Hopson, Omaha headquarters, went the honor, how ever, of having flown his plane the greatest distance. In 2,236 hours and T minutes service he covered 221,876 miles. He now follows the air path between Chicago and Omaha. Hop son Is a Hill City, Kan., product, who entered the air mall service In April, 1820, after a long record In civilian and army flying. Only a few hours separated Lee and James H. Knight for first place. The pilot who has made enviable records In night flying and staged his mem orable race with death had given 2,311 hours and 58 minutes to the service when the compilation was made. In which time he had traveled 211,095 miles. Knight Is another Kansas man, born In Lincoln, who first entered the air mall service in June, 1919. He resigned May 20, 1920, and was reap pointed In October, 1920. His Is the Omaha-Cheyenne route. OtlVrs who have served more than 2,000 hours, named according to rank In hours, are James P. Murray, head quarters Cheyenne, Cheyenne-Omaha run; William C. Hopson, Frank B. Yager, headquarters Cheyenne, Chey enne-Omaha run; Warren D. Williams, headquarters Cleveland, Chlcago Cleveland run; Edison E. Mouton, headquarters Reno. Reno-Elko run; i Wesley L. Smith, headquarters Hazel hurst, Hazelhurst-Cleveland run; L. H.

FIND MALNUTRITION MENACES THE NATION Many Seemingly Well Chil dren Are Sufferers From Poor Food. New York.—The malnutrition of children In the United Stales consti tutes a serious health problem, accord ing to the New York Association for , Improving the Condition of the Poor, ! which for the last four and a half years has been testing vurious meth ods of combating this evil. Some of the facts ascertained from the soci ety's study are included in a state ment given out here. It is set forth that among 2,181 ap parently well children examined in the medical clinics of the society, 636, or 30 per cent, were diagnosed as mal nourished. The society is seeking the most effective methods of correcting habits of eating or living which cause malnutrition, and has issued a mono graph entitled “Food for the Family," containing suggestions for proper feed ing as a means of insuring proper nu trition. This condition of malnutrition is not due to insufficient food, but to the con atant use of improperly chosen food or the inability of the body to make use of tbe food eaten because of Insuf ficient air, rest, sunshine or physical defects. If these children were la danger from fire or industrial acci dents, the report of the society says, every safety device and preventive measure known would be urged to pro tect them. Although the effects of malnutrition are much slower, often much more indirect and much less dramatic than those from fire or accidents, they are even more deplorable because of the larger number affected and the linger ing misery resulting. “Many a wage earner is unable to Increase his income to the safety level because of health conditions due to poor nutrition. Too many children who apparently show no signs of disease or malnutrition are allowed to drift Into the wage-earning period with only a part of their rightful earning capacity developed. Increases Living Costs. “Malnutrition thus concerns more than the individual or the home la which it occurs. It affects the whole country by reducing the eeonomlc pro duction of the Individual and thereby Increasing the cost of living. Since much of the sickness and lowered vi tality in later life is the result of poor nutrition, as physiicans have frequent ly stated, the Importance of providing educational guidance in nutrition as well as providing attention for the cor rection of physical detacts ia very great.” To ascertain what are the principal causes of malnutrition, the society an alysed the condition of 275 families among those which its nutrition bu reau is now assisting. Of that num ber, 227 families required instruction In the preparation of the proper food; 108 needed assistance in the planning of meals; 46 families had to be helped la marketing, because simple foods, antirely strange to them, were recom mended; while special diets had to be planned for 88 families. Only 27 fam Was needed financial assistance to pro vide adequate food. Greater economy traa found to be necessary in 44 fam OlM, while in 80 families assistance took the form of helping them to re resulting in inadequate rest and Im proper ventilation, and mother ill, were other problem* found to be responsible for malnutrition. Twelve Rules for Health. A guide to proper nutrition which the A. L C. P. will use in its efforts to reduce malnutrition among the tene ment districts of this city Includes, In addition to suggested diets and menus, a "dozen good health rules for children,” which read as follows: Emphatically DO— L Use milk—fresh, clean, whole milk for children. Every growing child should have a quart a day In some form. 2. Eat plenty of vegetables. 3. Be sure that a school child has a good luncheon, not candy, pickles and Ice cream cones. 4. East coarse food, such us oat meal, bran muffins and vegetables, so that the bowels will not be consti pated. 5. Eat slowly und chew food well. 6. Have the meals at the same hours each day. 7. Eat only bread, or crackers and milk, or bread and butter between meals, and only in the middle of the morning or the afternoon. 8. Wash hands and face before eat ing. 9. Drink plenty of water between meals. 10. Be In bed by 0 o'clock or be fore. 11. Have windows opened in the sleeping room at night 12. Brush the teeth at least once a day. Important DON'T'S— Do not let ttie children eat pork or veal, much meat of any kind, frieo foods, rich pies and cakes, strong spice and vinegar, green or spoiled fruit. Do not let children drink tea, coffee, beer, wine, sodas. Do not let them eat between meals, except the things named in No. 7 above. Do not let them eat candy. Ice cream cones, nuts, cakes and cookies between meals. NIAGARA S EDGE MAY NEED PATCHING UP Horseshoe Falls in Danger of Becoming Merely a Spillway. Washington.—When the fall of a huge piece of rock threatened to turn the honeymooners' Horseshoe falls of Nlagura Into a mere spillway, the peril to the falls’ beauty brought forth proposals to hire engineers to patch j up North America's outstanding nut- | ural wonder. By dropping a keystone out of Its ! Horseshoe arch, Niagara was merely performing its duty to tlie ages. For 30,000 years the falls has been the geological hour glass for much of North America. By reading the rec- j ord of the rocks that go through the neck of the gorge, as grains of sand slip through the hour glass, scientists stopwatch the glacier sheets, which were the first plows to furrow the fer tile Mid-West. In the sermons of the cataract's stones lie the chronology of Lake Algonquin, the predecessor of Lakes Superior, Michigan and Huron, and of Lake Iroquois, the sprawling progenitor of Lake Ontario. Their dates are fixed almost as accurately as hlatory books report William the Con j queror’s arrival in Kngland In 1066. "Across the Neck.” The story that is told by Niagara, ■ which is 95.17 per cent Canadian, Is related in the following bulletin by the National Geographic society : Niagara is the North American champion in one of the greatest bat tles nature ever umpired. Literally scores of challengers sought her crown. More than once Niagara fell almost lifeless on her waterworn rocks. But finally the seekers for her crown gave up; the last not many more centuries ago than the days of Tut-Ankh-Amen. Niagara is said to take its name from the Indian title nee-agg-arah, which appropriately means “across the neck.” The Niagara river cuts across the neck of land separating Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Just east of Buffalo the river collects the entire natural discharge of the four upper Great Lakes, rushes It through a nar rowing river for 16 miles, pushes It over a sheer drop of 212 feet, churns It seven miles through a canyon, and then carries it gently by seven miles of lowland to Lake Ontario. Our Niagara was born when the glaciers melted hack, exposing the ridge the water now tumbles down. Like the glaciers of the Rockies, these enormous sheets of Ice moving down from Labrador poured out streams of water. These streams collected ages ago at the foot of the huge Ice lobes In depressions extending Into Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Accumu lated water sometimes rrse hundreds of feet higher than the present level of the Great Lakes and poured out Into the Mississippi over the present site of Chicago and through outlets In Ohio and Indiana. Finally, as the lee melted northward, prehistoric Lake Tonawanda formed on the edge of the plateau over which Niagara pours. There were the* five outlets from this lake—at Holley, Me dina, Gaaport, Lockport and Lewiston. The spillway at Lewiston—Niagara— won out. Lockport gorge now con tains a flight of steps for the New Tork barge canal. Early Niagaras Numerous. About the time Niagara was begin ning to triumph, the melting glacier moved back to Lake Slmcoe, Ontario. The fickle waters of the upper lakea lost little time In finding the Trent valley, a ragged series of lakes and rivers leading Into Lake Ontario. Trent valley gorges tell of many early Niagaras. At that time only 15 per cent of the preaent flow went over Niagara, forming the narrow lower gorge. Nature came to the rescue, tip ping a great block of land, ever so ■lightly, but enough to shut off the Trent faucet and make even more water go over Niagara than the spec tator sees today. But the Chicago out let predecessor of the drainage canal, again cut down the flow. The Whirl pool waa made at this time. Once again Niagara waa flouted when the outlet shifted to North bay, f i- ** / Ontario, sending the waters down ths Ottawa over the portage which CkJam plaln was to take to discover Lake Hu ron. The upper narrow gorge was then carved, but again the hugs rock saucer, which has the Qreat Lakes pud dles In the bottom, tipped, leaving Ni agara triumphant. Niagara started to spill over the bank at Lewiston about 80,000 years ago. In 300 centuries It has shoveled • Its way seven miles. At Its present I rate of excavation, more than four feet annually, Niagara will dig back the re maining 16 miles to Lake Erie about the year A. D. 21924. Before this time, however, man may take a hand, since the peril to the famous Horse shoe falls, by the recent erosion, has brought forth the suggestion of rein forcing the Up of the falls. Ancient Treasure Sought Mill City, Ore.—The excavation of a large pile of rocks, which workers are sure Is an ancient tomb with burled treasure and possibly contains the re mains of some noted chief. Is attract ing much Interest on the little north fork of the Santiam river, about ten miles east of Mehama. A large tun nel has been driven Into the rocks, and the workers expect developments any day, having been rewarded with various signs of ancient life. No ad mittance Is allowed to the cave at present, for considerable dynamite Is used in trying to reach the supposed I burying spot. Fishermen Are Puzzled West Plains, Mo.—Fishermen of West Plains have been puzzled at the different varieties of fish that have been found In various ponds in this vi cinity. In one pond a fisherman recent ly caught several large goldfish, when no one had any Idea that there were any fish In the pond. In another pond catfish and bass were found, while still another pond In the same vicinity was ! filled with crapple. The slate game and fish department has explained the unusual condition by asserting that wild ducks and geese frequently drop onto streams where the fish have laid their spawn, uni in arising the fish eggs cling to their legs and feet. These are dropped in the next pond onto which they alight. I! Winged Death Rocket II Sprays Red-Hot Metal <• i <> London.—A winged incendiary jrocket, which the Inventor.
