Show - Seam of Burning Coal Keeps Mountain Warm A unique Australian phenomenon Is the "Burning Mountain" at Wlngen In northern .New Routh Wales, which scientists say has Dees on flrs ljUOO years. According to s party of geologists, who have Just returned from so of the mountain, says an Associated Cress dispatch from 8yd ney, there lies helow the surface a bnrnlng coal seam. l.ong before Bu ropenn settlement In Austnills "Hum Ing Mountain" was known to the aborigine, snd to them It owe Its name, Wingen, signifying "lire." The geologists remrt that the sum mil presents the appearance of the debris ol s vast rtok of buildings consumed hy Are with an explosion ot two thrown In. Rmoke and steam continuously sre Issuing from differ-ent points, and 'here ere numerous dept sits of alum and sulphur. The burning seam pmhahly Is W feet or more In thickness, say the geologists, snd Is being consumed si the rate of from 120 to 130 yards each century. The warmth of the moun tain In winter time attracts cattle, horses, and wild animals. Hard to Picture) Orient 4 ; Without the Date Tree For unlold Rges the data has been ' a staple article of diet In the Orient. It Is aald thut a half-poun- of dales and a half pint of milk make a sum-- ' dent meal fo a person of sedentary liublts. The date needs milk to round out Its food b;il ii nee, Au Intensely hot climate and plenty of water are neces-sary for the production of dales. As an old Arabian saying goes: "A date palm must have Ita head In Are and tta feet In water." 8ome believe that when Adnm and Eve lived In the Gar den of Eden, tlier subsisted verr large- - ly upon the date. In fact, that part of Mesopotamia which produces to this dny the best dntes Is regarded as the probable site of the Garden of Eden. Archeologlst. In making excavations in this region, have uncovered ruins thousands of years old, smong which have been found broken sculptures of the date palm, together with refer-ences to the use of its fruit as a food. Accnrdln. to an old. old Arabian story, after flod had created Adnm. some of the soil clung to Ills bands and He molded It Into a date palm. The leaves were set In a feathery crown at the top the same as He crested man. Bo It Is only natural that the pnlm should te ss nearly perfect a tree as Adam was a human being. Ladies of Long Ago The ladles to whom the troubadours sang had Invariably hair of the color of flax, as soft as silk, snd shimmer-ing with a sheen of the finest gold In anient Spanish romances the hair U either of pure gold, or definitely fair. In ancient Germany, Gretchen had to have "fair hair, like gold : long bright, and curly." There Is a famous description of a French lady of the Thirteenth century. "Uer hair had the brilliance of gold, and was twisted Into rebellious curls" so evidently permanent waving was known. MODEL AIR CODE IS URGED UPON STATES Uniform Rule to Be Placed Before Legislatures. . Washington. A model areonautlcs code, which will provide uniform reg-ulations governing the flying of planes throughout the country If It Is univer-sally adopted, has been drawn up and will be submitted to state legislatures, according to the Department of Com- - merce. A set of suggested field rules for airports also has been completed and Ita adoption Is nrged by the depart-ment, as It would eliminate a confus-ing situation like that which has Crown up In automoblllng through the variety of regulations enforced upon motorists. , Qovsms Planes and Pilots. The standard law suggested by the department to the slates covers air-worthiness requirements for aircraft, regulations as to the ability of the pilots who are to fly them, equipment of airwsys and conformity with stand ard air traffic lanes. The requirements suggested are those enforced by the Department of Commerce with regard to licensing and operation of planes and flying of pilots. The suggested air traffic rules cover every contingency that might arise at aa airport In normal air traffic and It la believed, that all unusual conditions also are covered. The right of wsy of one plane over another Is clearly de-fined according to relative flying posi-tions. This applies to planes La the air, landing or taking off. , . ;. . Earlier Cods Rsvissd. : . c! The new code, which Is a revision of one previously worked out by the de-partment, were drawn up with the aid of the army air corps, the bureau of areonautlcs of the Navy department' and the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce. Through the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce air transport operators, airport engineers and man-agers and others were Invited to sub-mit suggestions to the department, and many responded. A uniform or municipal or "ounty ordinance also has been suggested, which, if adopted, would require that aircraft and pilots operating within the Jurisdiction of the city or county conform to the rules of the Depart-ment of Commerce. ? The department's object In suggest-ing this legislation to states, counties and cities Is to establish a uniform practice throughout the country. "The range of the airplane is even greater than that of the automobile," it was explained, "and unless a stand-ard code Is adopted the stranger fly-ing across the country will bo con fronted with a bewildering variety of rules and requirements, differing at each airport lie visits."

With the successful flight of his rocket plane by Frits von Opel In Germany another whole new avenue of possibilities opens to avia-tion, writes Reginald M. Cleveland In the New York Times. The diminu-tive gliding plnne, shot off into space and sent hurtling ever higher and fur-ther by successive explosions con-trolled hy this daring young experi-menter, wns but the crude forerunner, of course, of what is promised from this means of propulsion. It traveled about a mile and a quarter In seventy-fiv- e breathless seconds and was pretty badly crocked up at the landing be-cause It lacked gliding height and the special "brake" rockets did not func-tion, but It certainly proved to the hilt the contention of Herr Opel and Professor Sunder that a force other than the conventional motor could operate a plnne and free it of the handicaps of long tuke-of- f run and engine weight The plane used for the successful trial weighed only 250 pounds. Much remains to be done to bring rocket flight Into the realms of prac-tical! everyduy application. The ex-plosive powder rocket will be super-seded, Professor Sander predicts, by the irns rocket Horr Opel says that full use of the gases would enable a plane to circle the earth In Ave hours I While this Is hardly likely to be found In the lap of the Immediate future since mnjor difficulties of protecting the pilot from the air stream and still affording him means to see and steer his course are to be reckoned with, In addition to the technical perfecting of the new propulsive method itself at least at Fmnkfort was convincing enough to give much food for thought Css Freeiee Fire Carbon dioxide, which Is expelled from your body whenever you exhnle, has been put to use by the Los An-geles fire department to put out Ores In which streams of water are of little use, as la chemical and oil Area.

Not one mishap marred her trip, which was made In the Interest of the newly organized chain of aviation clubs. She organized ten new clubs during the flight Catfish Peculiar Cutflshes are culled catflshes be-cause they have feelers on the head, like cats' "smellers." They have no scales, their bodies being nuked and smooth, or mailed with long plates. The different species vary in size from dwarfs two Inches long to six feet giants. The stone-cut- s and the mad-tom-seldom more than three Inches long, sting painfully, but not danger-ously. Only a few fossil catflshes have been found. The present scaleless members of the group evidently come from scaly ancestors. The peculiari-ties that distinguish them are caused by specillzatlon of some purts and by degeneration of other parts. ' Flying Insurance Is Now Being Studied Washington. Thorough study of all phases of aeronautical Insurance has been undertaken by the Dunlel Gug-genheim Fund for the Promotion ot Aeronautics under the direction of Copt. Bay A. Dunn, army air corps, appointed as consultant to the fund by Harry F. Guggenheim, president "Aviation Insurance is one of the outstanding problems not only of the commercial aviator, but of all those engaged In flying," Mr. Guggenheim stated In announcing the appointment and Its approval by the War depart-ment. "At present rates for insurance of this kind are almost prohibitive and this is very largely due to the almost complete lack of correlated informa-tion on the subject. The attempts made by American Insurance com-panies to solve this problem have been hampered by the inadequate scope of the statistics available. "The results of the studies made by Insurance actuaries have all differed with respect to the hazards of differ-ent classes of flying, and these differ-ences have resulted In the varying and extremely high premium rates estab-lished by the underwriting companies for avlution risks. In the face of this ) confused situation It has been difficult , if not impossible, for the public as well as for military and naval officers of the United States etignged In avla-- tion to obtain' the a mount of insur- - j ance coverage which has been desired, j "Because of the importance of life Insurance to avlution. the fund has j asked Captain Dunn to conduct a sur-- j vey which will compile accurate and i official dntu In regard to avlution mor- - j tullty and in so doing make available ( to the insurance underwriters those j statistics which are necessary for the J satisfactory stiihilizutlon of this un- - j j settled question." I Admiral Moffett in Favor of Airships Washington. Results of the suc-cessful experiments conducted by the navy dirigible, Los Angeles, to deter-mine the feasibility of airships launch-ing and recovering airplanes In mid-air, will be reflected In the nnvy dirigibles new under construction, ac-cording to Hear Admiral William A. Moffett chief of the naval bureau of aeronautics. "New possibilities of the airship are becoming apparent." he said. "From a military standpoint there Is the pos-sibility of maintaining an airplane guard around an airship. We can Im-agine airships serving as refueling bases for airplanes, and airplanes de-livering and discharging mail and pas-sengers from the Urger ships. "As an aircraft carrier, the dirigi-ble cannot be compared with a ves-sel, however. The number of airplanes that can be carried without handicap-ping the ship always will be small," he said. A great deal of experimental work with the problem remains to be done, he Indicated. . Aerial Troop Review Flying at an altitude of about 200 feet in a glnnt passenger piano.
