Up In the Air ====== By WEX JONES=== €VER since the Weights came back from Europe everybody has been up hi the air. Balloons have gone out of fashion al together, and are now only used by sci entists who think they can ascend high enough to whistle to Mars. The upper air Is dotted with these balloons, although just what effect the experimenters hope to produce on the Martians Is not clear. What would we do If the people on Jupi ter. say, went up in balloons and kepi shooting off guns at us till we couldn’t sleep quietly? What do we care about Mars or Jupiter, anyway? Lots of New Yorkers have never bothered to visit Brooklyn or New Jersey or Staten Island, so it’s hardly reasonable to ex pect them to r.et excited over a place some 500*000 years from Broadway. So the balloon Is now regarded as archaic as the railroad or a steamship line. Aeroplanes now do everything in the way of traffic. Bought a nif*y touring flyer to-day. It*s a beauty, fifty cylinders, and 250 miles an hour easy. Took her out for a trial spin and handled It very success fully. R»n Into a flock of wild geese and broke the airshield. These geese are about the only birds left that stick to flying. Since the air got filled with traffic all the other birds, have taken to the ground, and most of them have no mor- wings eow than an ostrich. thgt the flying flsn has also lost . * power of flight through disuse. It prefers to take a chance with a snap per below the surface than be bumped by the transoceanic flyers. Had a narrow escape from a serious accident to-dav. A bunch of children were piayiog around the corner of a large cloud, and I had no time to steer clear of them, so I had to throw my touring fly right into ♦ho cloud to save their lives Luckily, it was not very dense, so I suffered only t few minor injuries Poor children snould not be allowed to —Mr. Charlie Sweeney left today for a visit to Charleston.

Anent T. D. M.’s proposed umpires for the ball games, suggests the fol lowing conundrum: Why is a play like a cigar? Because if it’s good everybody wants a box. If it’s bad no amount of puffing will make it draw. —Mr. Ralph Sanders will arrive Sunday from Branfchville, S. C., to visit bis sister, Mrs. A. M. Thomas. —Mrs. H. N.

It Is almost Impossi ble to avoid them, since they are only provided with low-pcwer wings and can not fly quickly enough to g*»t of the way. No child should be allowed out side the balloon playgrounds unless wear ing at least 500-albatrosspower wings How is an infant with a 2-a. p. set to dodge a fast flyer? Took out my new racing flyer to-day. She’s a Mrd (that’s an obsolete compari son. but the v/ord hangs on as slang), and I reeled off 550 miles the second hour. Hit a child near a crowded bal loon tenement, and there were cries ol "Lynch him!’' “Diop the speeder!*’ They did drop one poor fellow the other day, and I didn’t want to be executed yet a while, so I let out a few links, and after an exciting fllgnt from the motorfl/er cops I finally shook off the pursuers by shooting round the end of a fog over Greenland. It is said that Commissioner Bingham, who introduced police dogs under the old system. Is going to put on a lot of police albatross, trained to fly in the faces of speeders. I don’t think they 11 do much with racing cars, however. Subscribed to fund for erection of an air tpeedway in the Arctic Circle. Sentenced to twenty years on the ground for running down another boy.
