LE.ZE PLAN RECEIVES FAVOR Bill Is Now Pending in Congress to Relieve Yearly Suffering in Southern Valley. MEMPHIS. Sept. 13.—The Mayor* of cities In more than half of the States of the Union have come out for Government aid In the protection of the Mississippi Valley States from flood*. This sweeping: Indorsement i»f the Ranndell-Humphreys bill, which provides $60,000,000 for levees and comes up at the December session of Congress, Is one of the Interesting exhibits of the work the Mississippi River Levee Association Is doing In the Interest of Government levees for the lower Mississippi River. Out of the replies already received not one chief executive has expressed the slightest disapproval of the prop osition. The Mayors of cities In the far Western States, 1n New England, In the Middle West. In the great northern section and from every Southern State have come out unani mously for the project. Each letter shows an unusual familiarity with the subject. The of Califor nia, Massachusetts and Montana eeem to have been studying the flood proposition with as much Interest as tne residents of the States Imme diately affected by floods. Levee Plan Favored. One of the most interesting letters Is one from the chief executive of Gallipoli®, Ohio, a city which almost was sacrificed to the Ohio floods of 1913. Mayor Cadot, of that city, says In part: “While our own valley suffers greatly from floods. I believe the greater damage Is done In the Mis sissippi Valley, and I earnestly hope you will succeed In securing the re quired appropriation from the Gov ernment, and be able to begin active operations at the earliest possible moment. “In my opinion, the levee plan is the best remedy for overflow that has yet been proposed." Mayor Joseph M. Halloran, of New Britain, Conn., writes In part as fol lows: “It seoms to me that the building and maintaining of levees Is a matter for the Federal Government to act upon Immediately.” Mayor (J. O. Meigs, of Twin Falls, Idaho, writes: “I believe, and always have be lieved, that this should be a national task rather than an expense to be borne by the citizens living Imme diately adjacent to the river, und as the Mississippi drains a huge portion of the United States, I take pleasure In Mating that I heartily concur with the views of the Levee Association in this matter.” The Mayor of South Milwaukee. Wis.. writes in part : “I am heartily n favor of the proj ect and shall help you whenever 1 can.” The Mayor Y>f Ogden City, Utah, says among other things: “In my judgment. It is clearly the duty of the Federal Government to make ample provision to carry the work of controlling the floods to com pletion as rapidly as possible." Mayor K L. Metcalf, of Pusadena, Cal., writes as follows: “In reply to your request of the 18tU instant, will say. in my opinion, nothing will solve the flood problem of the Mississippi Valley until Congress makes some move to that end, and 1 feel sure that it Is the only method to follow.” The Mayor of Poughkeepsie. N. Y., writes In part: “1 am heartily in favor of your work and believe that it is fair and jiltu that the National Government should take up the burden and give you whatever aid is needed." The Mayor of Indianapolis. Ind., writes « “I heartily concur In the views ex pressed in your communication re garding the spring floods of the lower Mississippi. 1 believe the Govern ment should lend every aid possible to protect the people of this vast ter ritory and that steps in this direction should be taken at the earliest possi ble moment." The Mayor of Phoenix. Ariz.. writes: “I am in receipt of your favor of | the 18th. and will state that I am | heartily In favor of the Congress of ' the United States appropriating a suf ficient amount to prevent the flood- | Ing of the lower Mississippi Valley.” Nation Realizes Necessity. The Mayor of Walla Walla, Wash., | A. J. Gillis. writes “The control of the flood waters of the Mississippi is a problem of such magnitude that It can be properly handled only by the national author ities. and it is of such vital import ance to all of our people that the in difference of Congress is hard to un derstand. Remote as we are from these constantly recurring floods, we feel that our people are deeply inter ested in their prevention and that any assistance that can b< given yout work should be freely given Please advise me of what way 1 can be of assistance and I will be glad to do what I can ” The Mwyor of Lynn, Mass., George New hall, writes: “I believe the flood conditions in the lower Mississippi River should re ceive the consideration of the No tional Government and that they should assist the different States in giving safe and thorough protection to the lower Mississippi Valley from floods.” These are only a few of the nu merous letters that have been receiv ed. They illustrate, however, the sen timent toward the levee proposition and the lAdesperad interest in th* matter of floous.

Then, circumstances be ing favorable, the trip across the At lantic will be attempted. It Is announced that the perfected Batson hydro-aeroplane will have a speed of 100 miles an hour, with a probabllitv of making better time even than that under favorable con ditions. its eleven-foot propellers make 1,000 revolutions a minute. The original machine, including the ex pense of putting up the aerodrome, will cost about $50,000. Captain Bat son declares, however, that other ma chines of the same type will cost only $20,000. Seeks Commercial Navigation. Altogether, the Intent of the man In the Savannah shop Is to render prac tical the commercial navigation of the air. He is a mechanical engl neer, acquiring thus his scientific knack. He is a daring soldier the organizer of the effective Filipino Scouts, and comes thus honestly by his fearlessness. For years he ha been at work In perfecting the ma chine with which the bold experi ments will be made, and In which he. hones to conquer the air. Plants for the construction of the machines will be scattered over the | United States, according to the ar rangements made by the company. The completed machines, however, will not be offered for indiscriminate sale, but will be used for passenger traffic under the auspices of the com pany. The Batson triple-motored aero yacht, as the machine is technically known, will carry about three tons dead weight load. Instead of beln^f comprised of a single plane or a pair, the buoying area is distributed over a large number of wings of moderate size. These are attached to the ma chine chamber In a way so as to yield to the extra stresses caused when the machine encounters the great “boul ders” in the air. Just as the springs of an automobile yield when an uneven road Is entered. Single Pilot Governs. The peculiar construction of the wing is such that the air currents aro guided under the wings Inwardly to ward the body of the machine, where they are banked under the base por tion, thus bringing the greatest stress Resolutions of Gratitude Passed for His Aid After Eruption of Vesuvius in 1906. Fascinating Artist lias No. Hope'That Ornament Will Be Generally Accepted Fad. Mademoiselle Polaire. being by com mon consent the ugliest theatrical star alive and the most fascinating withal, has an absolute right to wear what she pleases. It Is only when a woman has an open pride in her lack of pulchritude that she has achieved a sort of free-will condition as re gards clothes and ornaments. And because she is an independent In matters of ra'ment the fascinat ing Polaire Is going to show Atlanta something that will open the eyes of every' man and woman within its limits—she is coming to Atlanta, you know, with Gertrude Hoffman and Lady Constance Itewart-Richardson, the dancers. Her particular innovation is a nose ring a daring.- unprecedented nose ring, suggestive of nothing so much as a Fiji Islander. But then the tur key trot is hardly suggestive of the art of terpslchore. so it iff not an un believable thing that Mademoiselle Poiaire's nose ring will become—but no, American girls mean no harm by any of their fads, and even their crit- t'Cs vow that they have common sense enough and to spare. There will be no nose ring fad. however much the fascinating Po laire flaunts her badge of eccentric ity before their faces. Polaire, it is announced, never dreams that her own freak fashion will become the vogue Perhaps that is why she adopted it. At least, she will have something to herself. But Atlanta will have an opportu nity of fudging, and perhaps if it likes can place an order for early winter delivery.

Such is the arrangement that the essential “angle of Incidence” <.t all the wings can be governed by a single pilot, even to such an extent that should all the engines be stopped the wings will be automatically set at safe gliding angle, the course of which is easily controlled. Captain Batson takes the success of his invention as a matter of course. “It Is far more wonderful,” he said, "that men should literallv take their lives in their hands and go from Paris to London through the air. over sea and land in their unavoidably un steady craft than that the Batson aero yacht should, with so much great er carrying capacity and complete au tomatic stability, be able to go longer distances 1n perfect safety. A great loss of life appears to be Inevitable ,/lth aeroplanes of the dangerous and unstable type now in general use. and though the recent Titanic disaster shows that it is Impossible to foresee every contingency, yet it is a safe and comforting prediction that because of its automatic stability no such ac cidents as those which hitherto have happened can possibly occur to a Rat ion multiplane.” Special Cable to The American. NAPLES, Sept. 13.—A memorial to the 105 mothers and children crushed to death during the eruption of 1906 under the roof of the small chapel In San Giuseppe Vesuviano, where they sought refuge against the overpow ering fall of ashes and.rocks, was un veiled to-day In the presence of the civil and military authorities of Na ples, the Mayor of each town In the Vesuvian district and a large crowd of representative citizens. A feature of the ceremony was a resolution of the Town Council of San Giuseppe Vesuviano thanking Mr. Hearst and his newspapers for the substantial help sent to the afflicted district at the time of the eruption. The monument, consisting of a base nine feet high and a twelve-foot mar ble column surmounted by a Pom peian capital, the work of the sculp tor Arlzo, of Naples, marks the site where on the night of April 8, 1906, the stricken mothers repaired with their infants to pray for deliverance from the impending catastrophe. Resolution of Thanks. While they prayed the roof of the flimsy structure collapsed under the accumulated deposit of ashes and all were crushed to death. The Hearst newspapers collected for the sufferers more than $35,000, which was handed to the Italian Red Cross Society. A small balance of $206 afterward was devoted to the erection of the memorial which the local populatioh had. decided to build. During the ceremony Lawyer Silvio Cola, chairman of the memorial com mittee, before unveiling the monu ment, read resolutions thanking Mr. Hearst for his generous help. The resolutions, engrossed upon parch ment, were then handed to Judge Pal- mierl, who was present as Mr. Hearst’s representative. Banquet to Judge Palmlerl. Later a banquet was given in honor of Judge Palmlerl. In an address the Baron Quarante dl San Severlne cited many actions of Mr. Hearst which, he pointed out, entitled him to the grati tude of Italians, both in Italy and In America. He mentioned also the stand taken by all the Hearst news papers during the Italo-Turkish war, and the many fights made by those publications against laws restricting Immigration. Every reference to Mr. Hearst was loudly cheered. Speaking as the representative of Mr. Hearst, Judge Palmier! thankell the committee and the municipality for the noble way in which they ex pressed their gratitude to one of Italy’s most sincere friends In Amer ica. Mr. Hears: a name, which is en graved in large letters at the base of the column, was joined to those of the Queen and King of Italy in a toast which all drank standing. CHICAGO, Sept 18.—TJie existence of a "water wagon contract" for $1,000 a year between George Herr mann. president of the insurance firm of George Herrmann Company, and his son. George Herrmann, Jr . also an official of the company, was re vealed recently by the Junior Mrs. Herrmann, who filed suit for divorce on the grounds of cruelty. “George broke his contract this year in March,” said Mrs. Herrmann, who is twenty. "He started drinking and, of course, It cost him the $1,000. I don’t believe he has ever been drunk in his life, at least I never have seen him drunk. He was honorable about it, and told his father about the drink that cost him $1,000. “I think my husband Is a fine man. I admire him, but not as a husband.” Wisconsin Vice Commission De clares Lack of Home Care Re sponsible for Waywardness.

IS.—Blams for Immorality among young girls of Wisconsin was placed principally on their parents by Dr. C. A. Harper, secretary of the State Board of Health, in testifying before the spe cial Legislative Vice Committee. “Lack of surveillance by chaperons, social ambitions of parents, late hours, suggestive dance*, immodest dresses, automobile rides, telephones^ stimulating food and drink, and or ganizations of boys to ostracize girls from society who refuse to submit t# their will are some of the principal causes of the social evil among the better claeses of citizens of Wiscon sin, said Dt. Harper. Remedies suggested by him were stricter watch by parents, less sug gestive .clothes, wholesome food, early retiring hours, and elimination of the automobile and telephone from the use of the young women. "It Is generally recognized,” said Dr. Harper, “that there is a general wave of immorality passing over the country. It is due partly to our standards of living and a deadening of the moral sensibilities. We are living too high, going too fast, anl disrt girding the balances which make for moderation and moral up lift.” “What remedy can you suggest for the suppression of immorality?" asked Chairman Howard Teasdale. “I have found that communities having segregated vice districts un- d^r strict regulation hjave the high est degree of morality,” replied Dr. Harper. “Doesn’t a recognized vice district require the abasement of a certain per cent of women every year?” asked Senator Victor Linley, of Superior. “That is true,” Dr. Harper replied, “but at least 1 per cent of the girls will go wrong anyhow, it seems.” UTAH TO BOOM STATE “I am ALLENTOWN.
