"I have taken Cardul
and have found it a very
helpful medicine,” says
Mrs. Minnie Rocher, of

r. course of Cardul, I felt
like I had been made over.
"For a while I suffered
With bad pains In my back
and sides. At times, these
would distress me so I
would seem past going.
"We had known of Car

long time, so I thought I
would try taking it. I soon
began to Improve. I grew
strong and well, and was
able to resume my house

Ultra-Violet Light
No Good for Plants
Extra doses of ultra-violet light are
not so good for plants as for animals,
it appears from experiments carried
on in London by E. M. Delf, K. Itltson
and A. Westbrook, working at Ivew
gardens and Bedford college, England.
The experiments were undertaken
with the Idea of finding the possible
effect of the light on plants brought
from the South to northern countries
where la i.: : i I :
To seedlings :.uJ older plants ... l-
ments were given with quartz mer
cury vapor lamps, similar to those
given human beings. Germination and
growth were retarded and In older
plants leaf formation was partly in
hibited and flower formation and bud
ding were held back.-
Washington.—The Army Air Corps
within the next few months Is to In
stall radio-beacon stations at Mitchell
Field, L. L and at Its fields In San
Francisco, San Antonio, Uniontown, i
I’n., Dayton, Ohio, and here. At pres- ;
ent It has beacons only at Panama
.and Hawaii.
This was announced by F. Trubee
Davison, assistant secretary of war
for air, following his return from an
inspection trip of Army Air Corps ;
activities at Dayton and other points
in the West, He also told of prog- ,
ress being mado with other devices
for the safety of flying.
“The six beacons,” he said, “will
provide several combinations of air
ways that will be undisturbed by
clouds and proof against fog. The
beam of the radio beacon can, like a i
,searchlight, be thrown in any dlrec- i
tion and can be made In lengths that |
vary from less than 100 to nearly
2,000 miles.
Flier Is Gui.ded by Letters.
“The radio beacon sends three sig
nals which run parallel to each other,
like fingers extended from a hand.
When tjie pilot is on his exact course
ire hears the letter ‘T.’ If he swings.
to the right or left it changes to ‘N’ j
or ‘A.’ In other words, If the weuth-,
er is such that lie cannot see, tire.
pilot tiles by ear.
“Any plane equipped with a rndlo
set cau hear the signals. The pilot ■
need not even be an expert, because
the code, once beard, is easily re- ’
membered. On my visit to Dayton, (
I flew on the radio beacon and the’
steudy ‘T’ buzz-z-z was easily rec- ;
oguized from the other signals.
“Army Air Corps engineers are do
ing all they can to lessen the handi
caps of pilots who fly in bad weather.
Two Important experiments in that
connection are the new landing al
timeter and a system of leader cables.
The new altimeter differs from the
old-time instrument in that it gives
the exact distance between a plane
and ground objects.
“The value of this new height re
cording device becomes apparent
when one considers the fix In which
idiots have found themselves when
Hying, or in trying to land in fog
or nt night. It must be remembered
that the old-time altimeter works by
atmospheric pressure. Its zero is nt
sea-level, but a pilut who tiles 1,000
feet above that level actually may;
have only fifty-foot, clearance he-,
tween himself and tree tops in high
and rolling country.
“The value of the capacity alti
meter is that *t tells the pilot ex
actly how far lie Is above ground ob
jects. Lift one of these new iri3tru-j
merits above a desk mid it records
exactly the height at which It is held ]
suspended. This instrument is still
highly experimental, but I believe
that It polqts in the right direction
toward defeating fog— the arch enemy
of aviation.
Reduce Landing Perils.
“Experiments also are being con
ducted with the ‘leader’ cable, a de
vice designed to reduce dangers In
bad weather landings. It lias been
used in Europe and it is now being
tested by Army Air Corps engineers.
The leader cable is a series of wires
that radiate from the center of the
airport like spokes from a wheel
Each cable or spoke sends, at various
intervals, signals informing the jJlot
who is about to make a landlngoiow
to govern bis descent ami even tells
him when to put bis wheels on the
ground.”
Mr. Davison expressed satisfaction
with the results of his inspection
trip, which covered several middle
and northwestern states, and in
cluded visits to a number of regular
Army Air Corps stations, ns well as
fields used by National Guard and
Army Air Corps reserve aviators.
“Another feature that impressed
iqe deeply is the progress made to
ward Improving housing conditions
for Army Air Corps pilots and en
listed personnel. Old quarters that
were hardly lit to be occupied by
human beings are giving way to mod
ern and comfortable buildings, al
though there is still a long way to
go.”
As a result of bis trip, which was
made by air and which covered more
than 4,000 miles, Mr. Davison plans
to have all army pilots participate in
a nation-wide drive to urge localities
to majrk tire roofs of buildings so
(tint they may tie identified from tire

Took Only Sure Way
to Avoid Temptation
Secretary Lawson l’urdy of the
Charity Organization society, said at
a dinner in New York :
“Some people are like the gambler.
The gambler sat In the plush nnd
gilt ofiice of his palatial gambling
house when u deputation waited on
him to plead a spendthrift's cause.
“The spendthrift, the deputation
said, had lost over half his fortune
at the gambler’s, and now the other
half was gone, nnd tuberculosis had
overtaken the poor fellow, and a col
lection was being made to send him
to Colorado. Colorado was Ills only
chance. Denth or Colorado.
“As the gambler listened to the
spendthrift’s sad story tears rose to
his eyes, and turning hurriedly to his
beautiful blonde secretary lie said In
a choked voice:
“ ‘Quick, the check-book, Miss Mont
gomery—go and lock it in the safe be

World’s Tallest Building

The Chicago Tower, which lias been

Singing Coal Shovel
Had Experts Jarred
A few days ago a coal shovel hang

sumed (lie role of a local entertainer,
and began to speak, sing, and play!
The firemen were puzzled, and after
n closed Investigation it appeared that
the shovel’s performance synchron
ized witli Hie sending of the local
wireless broadcasting station.
In some peculiar manner the shovel
ncted as an ordinary wireless appar

pened on (he wall In such a position
that It touched the power line of the

Wife Sues Poker Club
for Husband’s Losses
Washington.—The Supremo court
was asked to decide whether clnbs
are liable for damages to wives for
depriving them of the companionship;
of their husband’s income.
The case came from McGill, White,
Pine county, Nev., and was brought
by Mrs. Gladys Anderson against the
McGill club where she asserted her
husband played pbkelr.
She declared in her suit that her
husband spent much of his time at,
the club and lost a large portion of
ills salary, causing liar “worry, hu
miliation, sickuefes and grievous
mental pain.” She Insisted in her
complaint that the club, as a pu^-
H- i 'race, was liable to her for
J.. atgOS.
The state courts dismissed the
suit, how^rar, holding that there was
no provision in law warranting ac
tion against a club on such grounds.
