It will average from 20 to 80 horsepower rt the lowest, , says a writer In Colliers. The new airplane engines run less than three pounds per horsepower and the finest of them two or less. Airplanes have been engines for fast scouting whose engines weigh less than a pound and threeqnnrters per horsepower. They must be quite literally, as sn old advertisement used to say, built like a watch." At present airplane engine of the best type say 120 to 160 horsepower cannot be purchased for much leu than 13,000. And the whole airplane, a big one, may readily cost 110,000 to 120,000. You can readily see why the construction of only 15,000 airplanes, as In England's program, would easily equal, for 'a total expenditure for men and camps and hangars and repairs and wastage, more than half a billion dollars. A fast modern airplane has an aver-- ! age life of only about two or three hundred hours of active service say two months at the outside. This means that to keep 10,000 airplanes on battle line you have to be able to build 5,000 per month or more. The ' cost would be almost unthinkable. That la why warfare In the air for any length of time would bankrupt the world. And that, In turn, Is why warfare In the air means the end of all warfare.

Cruise cruised around the American Association for several years, and he ligerents. The Braves, when they were driving well and sticking around the top of National league standings, constituted one of the greatest drawing cards the game ever has seen. Every man on the club was a fighter. The club won Its games by fighting. Then there were the Athletics men who rarely uttered a protest They merely played baseball and were recognised as the greatest machine baseball ever has seen in action. They drew powerfully in every American league city. The main difference seems to be the quiet kind of ball player draws his check Intact while the scrapper suffers the setback of fines.

Bassano, one of the picturesque towns of northern Italy, with about 7,600 people, Is situated on the turbulent Brenta river, 20 miles east of the Tyrolean border and 80 miles nfeth of Padua. For sentimental rather than strategic reasons, the Austrian forces would be overjoyed If the fortunes of way should cause Bassano to fall Into their hands, for It was before this city that Napoleon achieved his first signal success In his remarkable campaign of September, 1796, when his Infantry covered a distance of 114 miles in six days, besides winning three battles from the Austrian troops. Thirteen years after his victory at Bassano Napoleon raised the town to a duchy and conferred the dukedom upon his devoted secretary of state, Maret, the French Journalist and diplomat, who shares with Dam the distinction of having been one of the hardest workers in the service of the great Corsican. Bassano is one of the Infant cities of northern Italy judged by the age standards of Vicenza, Verona, Venice, Padua and" other municipalities of Venetla, although it was six hundred years old when the first permanent English settlement was made In America. A few years after It was founded In the eleventh century the district was given' as a fief to Eccelln, a German follower of Conrad IL Eccelln founded the famous Ezzellnl family which dominated this town and neighboring cities from time to time during the middle ages. The most powerful of these feudal lords, and the most notorious, on account of his savage cruelty, was Ezzellnl da Romano, a stanch supporter of Emperor Frederick II, and one of the most successful of the Ghlbelllne ndherents In the great civil wars which devastated Italy during the thirteenth century. He not only held Bassano, but, with the aid of the emperor, extended his sway over Verona, Vicenza, Padua and Treviso. Eventually Pope Alexander IV declared a crusade against him, whereupon he made an attempt to Invest Milan. Here he was wounded and captured. Enraged at his In falling Into the hands of his enemies, he tore the bandages from his wounds and refused all food, thus coming to a much more tragic end than his compatriot in arms, En-zla natural son of Emperor Frederick, who was captured In 1249 and held prisoner in Bologna for the remainder of his life. Enzlo's 23 years of confinement were solaced by the devotion of Lucia da Vladagola, a gentlewoman of Bologna who Is said to have endeavored unceasingly to secure her lovers release. There Is a legend to the effect that on one occasion the famous prisoners escape had almost been accomplished when a lock of his golden hair, hanging over the top of a wine cask In which he was concealed, betrayed him. Bassano is beautifully Vtuated a the foot of the Venetian Alps. It It famous for Its potteries, especially Its majolica, and for an extensive printing establishment Its trade Is largely In silks, leathers, wines, oils and o, . SHIPS NEED OF AUSTRALIA Grain of Little Value Without Transportation, as Little of It Is Used at Home. "Australias food production this year will average normal ; It Is neither unusually heavy nor light, but there is going to be considerable difficulty in handling the crops, because there are no faculties for transportation, said H. W. Stephens, a merchant of Melbourne, who was visiting the United States. The greatest need of Australia today la transportation. Until ship tonnage Is provided It is almost useless for the farmers to complete their harvesting, as It requires only a small percentage of the crops to supply the domestic needs. Heretofore great quantities of grain have been shipped to England and It is still going overseas, but In not sufficient quantity, for England needs wheat now as never before. But without ships It Is Impossible for us to send our wheat abroad. The wheat crop of Australia was damaged to some extent by mice, and until the farmers learned how to combat this peat It threatened to become a serious menace. The farmers used poison, water, gas and other means, and finally got rid of them. Ink for Labeling Bottles.
