PROPOSAL TO HOLD AVIATION MEET HERE New Yorker Asks Chamber of Com merce Committee to Consider Flan for October. A proposition to hold an aviation meet in Washington during October will be laid before the executive committee cf the Chamber cf Commerce by J. M. Berger of New York at a special meeting called for tomorrow at noon. Mr. Berger, who himself Is much in terested In aviation ;ind owns two ma chines. will ask the chamber for its in dorsement of the plan to hold an aviation meet and its hearty .-n-operatfon in mak ing the event a success. It is understood, however, that he will not make an ap peal for funds to help the meet along. Mr Berger, It Is said, will undertake to bring many of the leading aviators to Washington for tiie meet. rnd expects to have about thirty machines here. This is a different proposal from that of the Aero Scientific Club, which is now arrarging' for a mept of amateur aviators at College Park during October. The Chamber of Commerce does not yet know any of the details of Mr. Berber's pro posal It is expected that K. H. Young, the president of the Aero Scientific Club, will be present at the meeting, and there is a possibility that the two meets may be combined if there is a prospect of stimulating interest in aviation here by s-? doing. SOULS OF THE DEAD LIVE IN THE BIRDS Creed Taught by London Apostle of Amen Ra?Building an Altar. rcrfifa Corre?rv>n1?Dce of The S*?r LOVDON, August 30, 1910. There are many apostles of strange creeds in London, and the very latest to claim respectful attention is the apostle of Amen Ra. "the god behind the flaming sun," who has taken a large room in Crawford street, Bgyanston square, and is preparing to astonish the byways of the West End with mysteri ous words and more mysterious deeds. The apostle of Amen Ra 1s a tall, dark, thin young man, who wears a long scarlet robe when he holds forth upon strange texts out of a strange volume, which is callcd the Book of the Soul. His gospel is "the restoration of Pantheism and the old English religion," and he has come to the West End "to continue the work of Penda. English King of Mercia <middle England), who died in battle on the river Aire, in Yorkshire, in the year 65.V The new evangelist's name ia Ernest Maryon. He has a powerful magic lantern and a naming banner, a rep resentation of the wonderful white horse which King Penda rode to vic tory when he killed Mercia's peaceful King Edwin, in the year 633. Mr. Maryon is building an altar in Craw ford street, whereon will stand a winged disc of copper?the emblem of the soul. It is all very wonderful, and very in comprehensible But out of the amaz ing tangle of ritual woven by Mr. | Maryon it is possible to sift a few grains of practical ministration. He preaches, for instance, kindness to ani mals?and birds in particular. The souls of the past dead, he says, live again In the London sparrows, and suffer again with the London bus horse. Pot some years he has been trying to get new Pantheists to sub scribe ?2.500 for the building of a hall in London, where the work of King Penda may be carried on. When this hall materializes it will be crowned with a tower sacred to the pigeons and the sparrows. HEALTH OFFICE REPOET. One Hundred and Eight Cases of In fantile Paralysis to Date. Onrt ..hundred and eight cases of in fantile paralysis have been reported to the health oflloe up until today. Of these only four cases ware reported in the past week. One victim was aged two and a half years, one three and a half years, one seven years and one nineteen years of age One death was reported, that of Elmer Boss of 1002 C street southwest, a two-year-old boy The number of cases of typhoid fever reported during the past week, '.ify shows a continued Increase, the numbfr report ed the week before being 34. Of the .'58 cases reported 1H wci* contracted out side of the District of Columbia. Of the remaining number t> cases originated in the northeast section of the city. 7 cases occurred In the northwest section, 5 cases In the southeast section and 2 cases in tlie southwest. There were 11 white peo ple who contracted the dlseaMe and ?.? colored Two casew were under ten years of *ge, 5 cases from ten to twenty years of age. 6 case* were from twenty-one to thirty years of Rfct>. r; from thirty-one to forty years, and 4 cases whose acrs ranged frojn forty-one to fifty-three years. There were 21 cases discharged. .*$ by death, and there now remain under treatment 103 cases, as against 123 for 1909. Taking Exercise. From the Philadelphia Press The Cnited States Army has discovered that the plan of having an officer do ninety miles cn horseback once a year, to show Hiat he is in good condition. Is not enough. Daily exercise is needed, and this Is now required This is true of all Many a man and woman is taking more exercise just now than at any time of the year. In town or out. there is more walking, rowing, base ball, tennis and open-air life than in many months But for tbia many people could not stand fhe strain of vacation. Having " come back," people begin go lrg down hill, physically, in the fall and by next May have put on the pounds they lost and grown flabby, pasty, un alred and with oat either vigor or en durance. This does nothing. Daily ex ercise is the one path to health. The people who walk are moving nearA* the grave every day of their lives Just as much as those who ride, but they will not get there so soon Dally exercise Is a matter of will a:>d habit?not of ap paratus or opportunity. Any man or woraun with a room and an open window and a square yard of space can get the exercise needed to keep in condition in twenty or thirty minutes a day, and every ore wastes more than that. A walk dally means health and fresh air. Must Tread Carefully. Ptmb the Fllegend* Blatter. Bold Witness fgivln* his testimony)? And the w^v In which the accused ill treated the poor woman made my hair stand on end Magistrate?Be careful! Remember you are on youjAoath. PINCHOT ACCLAIMED I CONSERVATION HERO (Continued from First Page.) I ago Bo faulty has been the adjustment of time and money that Congress has had to authorise the issue of $30,000,000 of national obligation? to complete projects Mill hanging in the air. So ex pensive is it that estimates have been exceeded attain and again. The settler has had either to pay more than the cost figure he relied on or seek cheaper land In Canada. "It costs the government from .jO per cent more to twice as much as it would private enterprise to nut water on the land. l"nd?r the lower Yellowstone project the charge Is $42 30 per acre, and $1 per acre annually for maintenance. The Sunnvside project carries a charge of $??! per a<*re and Itt cents maintenance. T'nder the North Platte project the charge is $45 per acre, plus a maintenance charge not announced. Land Charge Prohibitive. "These projects, in widely separated localities, entail a land charge prohibitive to,the frontier settlers to provide homes for those for whom this work was be lieved to have been undertaken. The pioneer settler who can pay, even in ten annual installments, from $3,500 to $4,000 for eighty acres of land. In addition to the yearly fee per acre, must have some other resources to aid him. The work of Irrigation would have been more cheaply done if turned over to private enterprise or committed to the several states within which lie the lands to be reclaimed. This is not a criticism upon any individual. It Is merely one more proof of the excessive cost of government work. "Toward the, conservation of our min eral resources little can he done by fed eral action. The output is determined not hv the mine owner, but by the con sumer. The withdrawal of vast areas of sunposed coal lands tends to increase price by restricting the area of possible supply. It Is foolish to talk of leasing '?oal lands in small quantities in order to preyent monopoly. Mining must be car ried 011 upon a large enough scale to be commercially possible. The people of the west see little practical difference be tween .a resource withheld entirely from use and a resource dissipated or ex hausted. They understand by conserva tion the most economical development and best care of resources.. Interested in Cheap Fuel. "The prairie states are more Interest ed than any other in the question of cheap fuel. We io not depend upon Alaska for our fature supply. There is abundant coal on the pacific coast nearer to our seaports and commercial centers. While we lament the exhaus tion of our coal supply we maintain a tariff that compels us to draw upon it continuouslv. It would be well to cast out this beam before we worry too much over the conservation mote " The Iron deposits of Minnesota, the most wonderful in the world, are today not only furnishing industry in the na tion with its raw material, but are pil ing up a school fund at honv that is the envy of other states and adding more and more every year to the con tents of the state's treasurv Minnesota is considering the reduction of l?er gen eral tax levy by one-half. Would it be better If these lands were today held idle and unproductive by the federal government or worked only on leases whose proceeds went into the federal treasury and enabled Congress to squander a few more millions in an nual appropriations? "Against some forestry theories the west enters an even stronger plea. What the United States needs is neither reckless destruction nor an embargo upon our splendid western common wealths by locking up a considerable portion of their available area. There were, by the last report of the forestry service over 104.600.omi acres withdrawn from use In our forest reserves June 30, IOOO. Of this, nearly 58 per cent, over 112,000.000 acres, or 175.000 square miles, lies in six western states. That is an area Mx-sevenths the size of Ger many or France. It is 80 per cent of the size of the unappropriated and un reserved land in those six states. Vast Arena Conveyed. I "The forest reserve and the lands con veyed by congressional grants to private interests in Oregon amount to some 30, 000 square miles. More than half the area of this great state has been with drawn by action of the government in one way or another from cultivation and the enjoyment and profit of the people of the state. Over one-third of Idaho and 27 per cent of Washington are forest reserves. Colorado Is almost as badly off; and not more than 30 per cent of its forest reserves is cov ered with merchantable timber, while about 40 per cent has no timber at all. On the Olympic peninsula are lands re ported to be withdrawn to conserve our water supply where the annual rain fall amounts to something like seven to ten feet. According to the official re port. the ca?t of administering the for est service in 1000 was a little short of $3,0>J0,000, and the receipts were I1.8J0, 000. The deficit in current aceount alone wa3 over SI.100,000. The total disbursements were over $4,400,000, and the actual deficit $2,60U.<G0. Has 2,000 Employes. "The forestry reserve has over 2.000 em ployes. In l!?ft) they planted 611 acres and sowed 1,126 acres inore. The west believes in forest preservation. But it believes practically and not theoretically. It realises that a good thing may coat 1 too much, and is not ignorant of the ?} travagant financial tendency of every federal department and bureau- It wants all good agricultural land open to the I settler, wherever it may be situated. It wants timber resources conservatively utilized and not wasted or destroyed. "In connection with forestry Interests, there Is just now much question of the conservation of water power sites. The demand is that federal lands forming such sites should be withdrawn and leased for the profit and at the pleasure I of the federal government. Against this the whole west rightly protests. The water power differs frfom the coal deposit in that it is not destroyed by use. It will do its undiminished work as long as the rains fall and the snows melt. Not the resource but the use of it is a proper subject for conservation and regulation. To withdraw these sources of potential wealth from present utilization Is to take Just so much from the Industrial capital of the states in wl^ch they are situated. F?deral Control Illegal. j *The attempted federal control of water powers Is Illegal, because the use of the waters within a state is the prop erty of the state, and cannot be taken I from it. and that the state may and actually does, in the case of Idaho, for example, perfectly safeguard Its water powers from monopoly and make them useful without extortion has been shown conclusively by Senator Borah In a speech in the United States Senate, in which this whole subject is admirably covered. Ought the public domain be administered by the government and dis posed of for Its profit, or opened to the people and shared with the states? I.et experience determine which was the bet I ter guardian. The worst scandals of state land misappropriation, and there were many, arc insignificant when com pared with the record of the nation. I "There remains an opportunity and a need of conservation transcending In I value all others combined. The soli Is the ultimate employer of all Industry and the greatest source of all wealth, j It is the universal banker. Upon the maintenance unimpaired In quantity and quality of the tillable area of the coun try its whole future Is conditioned." A Correction. Frran Llwtwott's. , The habit of contradicting sometimes "o'erleaps Itself" unwittingly. "I've heerd it said." remarked a lounger at the crossroads store, "that John Henderson over by Woodvllle was one of eighteen sons." ?That's whar ye heerd wrong," con tributed the chronic kicker.1 "T'want John Hendflfcson at all.

I look back with keen regret to long past days when tea making was tea making, and every self-respecting hostess took the matter seriously.

Managing Caddies. From the New Tort Son. In country golf clubs the caddies are mostly boys from twelve to sixteen years old who attend school and may give un restricted attention to carrying clubs only after their hours of study and on holi days. The trouble in the employment of such boys is to prevent them from play ing truant to increase their earnings. This is adjusted readily with the school principals or the truant officers on a give and take basis. The authorities are us ually willing that the boys shall work un molested when the club Is holding its annual tournament. The general plan is not to employ caddies Sunday unless they are pwmltted to work by their parents on that day. At courses adjacent to cities or large towns the caddtes are re cruited from a less staple population and the age limit is higher. A harassing element Is the presence of youths who shirk better paid but more arduous em ployment. The city-bred caddies are even harder to control. A method that is ef fective Is to place the boya on stated weekly wages and to divide them into two classes, the rating and amount of pay being dependent on the value of the service rendered. A class B caddie may advance himself to class A and an increased waga. and for poor service the rule works the other way. The real merit of the plan is that the employment becomes a Used one and caddies no longer labor only when their pockets are empty. They become wage earners with definite responsibilities. The hoys get their money in a lump sum on pay day and It seems better worth sav ing than when they are paid by the Job, with often a long Interval between Jobs. Clubs that have tried this plan do not readily abandon It. Unsatisfactory cad dies are soon replaced by boys anxious to give good service. The club Is repaid, too. beyond the Increased efficiency of its caddies by using them as aids In the lighter tasks of the greens keeper. In this country the caddies of today If they do not care to become club makers or professionals after a spell of wage earn ing on the links sre very apt to be the amateurs of the future. The transition Is easy for the country-bred caddie boys. The clubs near cities may smooth the way for their caddies by teaching them aelf respect. thrift ajid ambition through the restrictions put on the occupation. The Mining Gamble. V*r>m tke Phlladelohla Record. If you want to raise a million dollars on a mining proposition and offer 10,000 shares at $W0 each you will not sell one. But if you offer a million dollar shares ! at $5 each, par value, to be sold at $1 each for 3D or days, there's a fair chance of your getting one or the Ave millions which agents of the Post Office Department estimate Americans sink an nually In mining frauds; not merely un successful mines, but mining frauds.

This explains why mining shares are generally sold for S3 or $2 or a fraction of ft dollar; the large number on the stock certificate makes the buyer feel as though he were playing* for big stakes, though aa a matter of fart he is risking only the price of a box of cigars.
