MAKING TRAVEL
BY AIRSAFE
Wireless Telephone Will Do Much
to Insure Speedy Mail
Deliveries.
BRITISH EXPERTS AT WORK
When New Syttem I* Working Prop
erty Pilots Will Be In Constant
Touch With Ground by Mesne
of Wirelese.
London.Will toe aerial mall serv
ice, when Its organization has been
Improved, still continue to be Inter
rupted by such adverse weather as
taring the past week prevented on
several days the flying ot the mall
machines between London and Paris?
Asked this question the other day by
a representative of the London Times,
Bolt Thomas, whose high speed bi
planes carry the London-Paris mail,
replied with an emphatic "no."
At present, he explained, we are
flying dally over what is, to a large
extent, still an unorganized route and
it is no exaggeration at all to say that
when all the organization which we
are busily preparing Is brought ac
tually Into play, as it will be before
we hare to encounter another winter,
snch conditions as prevented Lieuten
ant McMulUn from getting through
to Paris on the first day of the air
mall last Monday will have no ad
verse effect at all on the flying of a
machine, either from the point of view
of safety or of adhering to scheduled
time.
Wireless telegraphy will help as
enormously and we have now the
services of one of the most practical
experts In this country, who Is con
centrating bis attention exclusively on
the question as to how directional
wireless and the wireless telephone
may be made to help us in regular
dally flying and to overcome such
difficulties as at present cause delay.
Information for Plane Pilot.
When we have this system working
properly It will mean that during our
hours of flying, say from 12 o'clock to
4 p. m., every land operator will be
listening for messages from the air
and a pilot having set out say from
Hounslow, and wishing to know ex
actly what the weather is like in the
channel, will simply take up his re
ceiver and call "Hello, Lympne." All
the other stations on the airway will
hear, but only Lympne will reply, and
In moment the pilot will be given
the information he requires. It will
also be quite easy for one pilot to
speak to another while two machines
are in flight.
In pncli machine, also, we shall
place a light telescopic mast. This
will be jointed and will He in the
fuselage without taking up any room.
But should pilot have to make
compulsory descent he will on alight
ing take out his mast. Joint it together
and place the "aerial" of his wire
less telephone on the top of it. Then,
when he has raised this mast and
stuck the end of It In the ground
It will be about 30 feet high when
fully extendedhe will be able to call
up the nearest aerodrome on his wire
less telephone and (ell them Jnsf what
field he Is down in and what his
trouble is In such a case if a man
cannot ascend again quicklv, we shall
send another machine to bun from the
nearest relief point, winch will take
on hi mails We shall soon have a
system, both on the English and
French sections of the route, whereby
a pilot who has a forced landing can
get into touch immediately with the
neatest land agent of the service, who
will take o\er his mails at once and
send them on their way in a fast mo
torcycle.
The point Is now demonstrated verv
cleaily that with a skillful pilot and
a fn*-f machine the only sort of at
mospheric conditions which seriously
interrupts flying is such as we en
counter sometimes on a bod November
day, when an opaque mist, beginning
almost at ground level, may extend
upward, in an unbroken mass, to an
altitude of something like 10.000 feet.
Hurtling Through the Fog.
A pilot In an airplane, flying on
through a thick mist. Is as unhappy
as a pedestrian in a dense fogonly
more so Not only is there the ques
tion of finding his way, but he Is
faced also by the embarrassing fact
that, through not being able to turn
his eye upon any horizon line, he can
not judge the altitude or Inclination
of his machine in relation to the
ground below, with the result that he
may get Into a side slip or spin and
find suddenly that his machine has
passed out of his controla condition
of affairs which may spell extreme
peril.
Then we expect very soon to have
improved considerably the instru
ments In a machine which tell Its
pilot its altitude and Inclination when
he Is deprived by fog or cloud of a
horizon line. Then, as yet another
point, we are working on the question
of lighting aerodomes and landing
grounds so that a pilot can make a
safe contact with the ground even
when the air Is heavily obscured.
This is, of course, a point of capital
Importance. It is not enough to
guide a man accurately while he Is
flying in misty weather. You must
be able to Insure him also a safe
alighting.

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
se Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and No-
body Wi ll Know
The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grandmoth
er's time. She used it to keep her
i hair beautifully dark, glossy and at
tractive. Whenever her hair took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound," you wil get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addi
tion of other ingredients, which can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears, and after
another application or two, it he
comes beautifully dark and glossy.
