It should have shelter and supplies for flyers and their crafts and should be accessible t or the trade center it is • meant to serve. This feature is Oi j supreme importance because com mercial aerial navigation will develop! ■only in proportion to its commercial ! value. The field should be identified with markings visible from great heights and with radio apparatus so i that flyers may be aided in finding their way in spite of the fog or fail ure to identify the country over! which they are passing. “Fields at frequent intervals mean .that cross country flyers can come to ! the earth for rest, replenishment of j supplies and adjustments to their .machines without inconvenience or unnecessary delay. In the event of a mishap in the air, such as a stalled motor, the nearby landing field per mits the pilot to glide to it without, damage to the machine or to him self. Of the world’s cathedrals, probably the most curious is that which crowns a hill in Uganda. In appearance it 1 resembles nothing so much as a j mountain of grass, although on closer] inspection one is able to see that mtfd j and wood have been extensively em- i ployed. The etructure can accommo- j date 4,000 people. LABOR FEDERATION PUNS AGGRESSIVE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN (By The Associated Press.) IVasington. I).

They help us to make our living by destroying weed seed and insects that prey upon our crops DON'T leave your animals out to suffer from cold. Give them a good | shelter and warm bedding. | DON’T put a frosted bit into your horse’s mouth. Dip it into water or take the frost out by rubbing it with your hand or a dry cloth. DON'T run the risk of your horse falling and breaking a leg because of dull shoes. Keep them well sharp ened. SAMUEL GARNER. Phone 335-W. Pres. S. P. C. A. SUFFRAGE PM IN P. E.

Bishop John Gardner Murray said yesterday that' the circulation or use of the!, prayer in any church of the Diocese i of Maryland did not have and would |: not have his official or unofficial in- j i dorsement and could not be made an j: official part of the Episcopal service. * In a brief statement, he said: “This question of suffrage is a mat-!; ter exclusively for the State and has | nothing to do in any way with the ; Protestant Episcopal Church, its ad-ji ministration or its services. It is a’ : matter entirely apart from religion. j‘ No suffrage prayers have been made j an official part of any service of thej Protestant Episcopal Church. Any * such prayers which may have been Offered unofficially have not had and will not have my authority or sane- j tion. As Bishop of the Diocese of j Maryland I have nothing whatever to i say on the suffrage question.” < Colds Cause Headaches And Pains Feverish headaches and Body Pains | caused from y a cold are soon relieved j by taking LAXATIVE BROMO QUI- j NINE Tablets.
