AMERICA A MECCA

FOR BALLOONISTS

dela Vaulx Says

t

SEW YORK March de laVaulx the famous French aeronautwas In conference today with CortlandField Bishop and other officers of thezero Club of America and M Leveehe French aeronaut who recntely made

1 sixtymile trip by balloon from WestPoint He made further arrangements-for tho ascent from West Point nextSunday for which he probably will usehis second largest balloon LOrientcapable of carrying one other personbesides himselfDenver to Washington in Forty Hours

There is no question in my mindsaid the count that this country is tarthe best for experiments on a largescale in aerial navigation In the firstplace Its great size makes it possible-to arrange for long flights Your pre-vailing westerly air currents wouldmake a trip from Denver to few Yorkeasily possible I the trip fromDenver to Washington could be comfortably covered in forty hoursWhile we are still debarred fromcrossing the Atlantic we can vouch forthe security of a balloon above an Inland sea such as any of your GreatLakes We are able to do this throughan apparatus known as starlsisatorsdevised by M Heine and myself Sosuch great stretches of water as theBaltic sea the Mediterranean or LakeSuperior or Lake Michigan have noterrors for us any more

May Cross Ocean Some Time-I even think the time Is coming and

rowing soon when tho Atlantic oreven the Pacific ocean can be passedover safely by balloons That day willnot come however until the balloon

be directed as certainly In the horizontal plane as in the vertical

But as are now the ocean isa dangerous snare Maritime ascen-sions differ from voyages overthe land arisesover the land necessitating an Immediate descent it can bo made but overthe sea the balloon must be left afloatuntil the coast or a vessel Is reached

Punch and Specially Prepared Cards Will

Old System

A punch instead of a fountain pen willdoubtless be the recording instrument ofthe 10000 field enumerators of the nextdecennial census If present plans canbe perfected mechanically as seemsprobable a revolution In censustakingmethods is promised The story is simpleOf

recent years the enumerator with afountain pen wrote in the answers to thequestions which he put 16 the people ofthe country In the spaces provided inthe blank forms for that purpose Thismaterial was shipped into the CensusOffice here as raw material Morethan 1000 clerks in the last census were i

formation into cards so that electricaltabulating machines might do the restThe machines humanpassed over the cards and wherever ahole had been punched an electric contact resulted which added one to thecount of the particular qualification orcharacteristic which the punch denoted

Will Save One ProcessXext time Dr North purposes to let

the enumerator In the field punch thecard The punch system eliminates oneprocess or at least one process to whichhuman minds must attend It is quitepossible that another set of cards willhave to be prepared from those whichthe enumerators execute In order tocorrect inaccuracies In the location ofthe holes but this correction the inventors say can be done by machineThey can feed Into it cards containingthe irregularities of human touch andthere will come out on the other side ofthe machine cards recording the sameinformation but with holes of strictmechanical accuracy and regularity

The enumerator can jot down his

Patents Have ExpiredThis development of Census Office

work is an outgrowth of the efforts ofthe establishment to make Us own tabulating machines The basic patents ofthe Hollerith Tabulating MaciMne Com-pany covering and controlling the wholesystem of mechanical tabulation by thepunched card system expired on Jan-uary S last Anybody Is now at

to build and use the machines uponwhich both the Eleventh and Twelfthcensuses were tabulated without thepayment of rent or royalty to anybody

Under these circumstances and seemingly without infringing at any pointMr Holleriths later patents the Census Office proposes under the authorconstruct an apparatus cheaper and more expeditious than yetdevised which the Government canbuild and operate for about 10 per centof th sum it must otherwise pay inroyalties if it attempts to use automatic machinery at the Thirteenth census

The MachineCompany has been asked to name aprice at which it would sell to thethe richt to use all its mechanisms covered by live patents with theprivilege of further themalong the Governments own lines

Director North indicated his entire willingnesswto submit to Congress anyproposition the company would make to

its rights and thu avoid any posof conflict wtih Its patents Noto this suggestion has ever

TIME TO PURIFYYOUR BLOOD

iSpring is natures time for renewing and 5feputs on new life the sap vegetation the earth outfrom its Winter freezes and all respond to Springs call to vand purify themselves The change in the vegetable kingdom isno greater than the change which takes place in our physical sys lEsstems at this season few undergo it without of disorder

During the Winter we live a shutin life as much as possible breathing theair of closed rooms and heated buildings we indulge our appetites more of

the heavier richer foods and take exercise As a result the blood grows thick andsluggish the members whose duty it is to carry off the refuse of the body get dull andinactive from the lack of exercise etc and leave the waste matter in the system to sour andform impurities and acids which are taken up by the blood and distributed through itscirculation Then as warmer weather comes on and we change our mode of theblood is aroused from its torpid state and stirred to quicker action and begins to throw offthese accumulations causing Boils Eczema Acne rashes pimples scalyeruptions and itching burning skin diseases of various kinds

In its to rid the system of these accumulated poisons the blood calls upon everymember to assist but the system is often unequal to the struggle the energies give way

Some four years ago I was suffering from impure blood the appetite grows the Spirits are deand a general rundown condition of the system I had no pressed and a general rundown Conditionappetite was losing in flesh and an allgone tired feeling result To the return ofthat made me feel miserable I began the use of S S St IS

after taking several bottles my skin was cleared of Spring means the return of disease foraU eruptions and took on a ruddy healthy glow that as weather IS to force thesured me that my blood had been restored to its normal warmer surehealthy condition My appetite was restored and I could seeds and of old chronic troubleseat anything put before me and as I regained my appe have dormanttits I increased in weight and that tired feeling which inworried me so much disappeared and I was onoe again system the Winter monthsmy old salf VICTOR STTJBBINS ft TIME PIICor Barthman Washington Aves Columbus Ohio R1FY YOUR BLOODassisted and if we wish to pass this trying period of the year free from disorders and diseasewe must have our blood in good condition S S S is natures remedy being made from theroots herbs and barks of the forests and fields and has long been recognized as the King ofBlood Purifiers and the greatest of all tonics It goes down into the circulation and

its fine purifying and tonic effects S S S neutralizes any excess of acid in the bloodmaking it and pure and cures Eczema Tetter Acne and all skin eruptions and diseases promptly and permanently It adds to the blood the rich properties it is inneed of and in every way prepares the system for the change from Winter to Spring S S Scures Rheumatism Catarrh Sores and Ulcers Contagious Blood Poison and any and all
