Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - August 15, 1925, Winnipeg, Manitoba 10 contributions and comment Good nerve often in Les in work of or. Spahlinger. The new sea stories Wiwi Peck saturday August 15, 1925 _ ample. There is the. Chicago Man who held thirteen diamonds at is in the air the episode of the Manitoba fire Ranger who balanced the plane with so Many in the flying ser vices of the nations there Are Many thrills in the and about some of them a. M. Jacobs writes in St. Nicholas Magazine. He tells of this j happening at name of the United states Large air stations but does not know of a thrill that happened in our own Northern latitudes in Manitoba and deserves More men Tion that the Mere reference to it the modesty of its participants Al Lowed. One of the boats in the Domin Ion service was surveying thu forests to our North spotting a fire. T had its Pilot who had the experience of War and he had on Board the fire ranker also a Veteran of the War stationed in the fire rang ing service at jul Bonnet. Something went wrong. The Stulok would not keep to plane at the level. First one wins would in then the other. Unless something to done the plane must turn right Over. What could be done the Pilot could not leave his seat. The fire Ranger remained could lie do anything h the plane tipped to could run out on the. On the other Side and could. First one aide lie extender Wing hold it level. Fit she tipped on Down and Clown on the Side on which he had taker station he would run across to the other wins. He could run across. What a feat. Hundreds feet above. The Forest tree tops he crossed and re crossed those sinewy stays that made the Frame of those Graceful but fragile wings of the Pluto. Re the courage of this Manitoba fire Ranger the plane was Given. ,1 stability which enabled it to brought to a. Landing. It was saved the Salvage of fifty thousand dollars probably. The. Pilot saved for his chances in an Over turned plane surely would be slim. And the fire Ranger himself was saved. It was. As the flying men would say. A Good Job of work it was a thrill. Many will agree it was a display of Cine judgment and direction on the part of the Pilot a display of splendid courage on the part of the fire Ranger. Otherwise 1 Winter about As frequently. Further that the . Have a monthly ser vice to Bermuda the Windward islands and deme Rara from Mont real in summer and St. John in win Ter. As for the Western Section the Jamaica service we have had 26 sailings per annul by the Pickford Black steamers from Halifax for Many years and for several years past two ships of the . Have been operating on this route with sailings at intervals of three weeks. The cheerful philosopher the world s Best simile a Chicago Magazine offers prizes for the world s Best simile and quotes As an example scarce As. Chorus girls in Lon now Himi Les Are As plentiful As oranges in Cali fornia but it is not so easy to gauge the limitations of the judges. Will they know the Best if they see. It my own Choice would be Onu of the Many whose Gold is still untarnished of after centuries of use and these will have no Chance. Similes must be Short and Snappy nowadays. So Many thousand newspapers Are turning out to Many Hundred thou Sand pages a Day that there in t space for a Long to state the fact More fairly to read so much of everything we cannot do with much of anything. Lard . But these Are almost classic. So is the lad no More Chance than a Snow but Snow has heat resisting properties and of we have the cel Lold dog chasing the Asbestos oat. No Chance at All an enthusiastic american filed a dictionary of modern similes my Choice from the lighter ones is Jeorge Ades he Felt like tha sym oms on a Medicine and Tor second durable As a pig s not so bad he to compare classic is like the modern with Thi putting a sketch of and. As in her strange j spare ribs alongside a Landseer but tile lightning cartoon hits the fancy of Tho hour. The world s beet will be is fresh As a new Laid egg. Good similes were penned when paper was a luxury others As Good inscribed on vellum and Ori papyrus some were engraved on bricks and some were memorized and passed Flora father to son when writing was an unknown Art. Verses were at first recorded Only in men s Homer knew How to give full value to the simile and every student of Tho classics knows How his pages and those of his roman imitator Virgil Are enriched by them. Word pictures com plete in every detail each is like a Gold cup Well Worth the time spent on its adornment. As when from under Tho North wind s Ripple a fish eaps up beside the Weed strewn Beach and the dark wave covers that is the simile Homer uses to de scribe the knockout blow in a prize there s Little said notice taken it. About it let to a report on Tia episode Likely is carefully filed in a Pigeon Hole in the office of a sub director of flying somewhere in some department at Ottawa. Or. Jacobs writes when planes of the ind the thrills pilots Are saved sometimes Only some times. He relates of an instance when the Pilot saved himself. Sud Denly writes or. Jacobs a Man. Onn Day in March at the United states Large aviation Centre at Dayton. Ohio dashed in Pale with excitement saw the whole he cried. Piano went into a barrel Roll and began to spin. I though h t the was stunting and when it kept com ing Down wondered wily he did t level it out. Then i suddenly know he was wrong. At the same time a Black Dot As big As an Ink bottle fell away from Tho plane. It dropped some distance. Then a White Streamer like a ribbon fluttered out from it and opened into a Parachute it was Beautiful so were the Relief and exultation on each face. Their com Rade whoever he was had not bean killed. Another Triumph for the bit of equipment they knew As the Pai a upon the testing and develop ment of which one or two of them had worked heart and soul. Later the Dot As Bis an an Ink which proved to be Lieut. O. Hunter of Selfridge Field Michi Gan came among them unhurt Ami smiling evidently not even suffer ing from the effects of nervous Shock usual with those who have faced the extremes of danger and so narrowly escaped with their lives. For a thousand feet hanging head Down held in the plane Only by his safety Belt Lieut. Hunter had fought to bring it under control. Than finding that his efforts were Siulte useless knowing that whatever a did. It. Would fall and crash to Earth. He had in snapped his Bolt and been thrown violently out into the. Air about feet. It was then he a appeared to those watching from the around As a Black Dot As big As an Ink out in the air falling head Over heels he had waited a few seconds. Today a pugilist goes Clown clothing store Dummy or to be sure he was Well away from the heavy helpless air plane. Before putting his hand to a Little pocket n the Side of his Parachute harness and pulling Forth the ring thereby opening his Parachute. There had been a Jerk As the Parachute filled with air and checked his a i and then feeling almost if he Hui 1 stopped still Between Earth anal after his headlong dive he drifted slowly Down to the ground. The breaking of one screw in Tho Stabilizer of the air plane had caused All the trouble that would have proved tragedy had not. Lieut. Hunter come safely out of it. Steamship service to the West indies l from Chr there Are Many questions that Are Well known to the Rock who live in the Prairie provinces important questions too which Are not Well known to us. Ami when we attempt to discuss them it is not improbable that we May make mistakes. We must therefore make a similar Al Lowance for the Western Man who attempts to discuss the questions of he East. H is Only by doing this that we can excuse the statement made in a recent article in the Winnipeg press regarding the steam ship service Between Canada s Eastern Seaboard and the West. In Dies. This statement is that our present steamship service consists of fight like a like a letter Hoin or picturing a foot race says that the runners were close is is the Weaver s Rod to a fair girdled woman s breast when she deftly draws it with her hands As she pulls the spool past the close As Lov ers on a Park Bench would bring this up to Date. Many of our own poets have revel led in romantic similes. Blue were her eyes As i he fairy flax her Cheeks like the Dawn of that is just one that comes to mind and for contrast i select a. S. M. Hutchi son s face Liko a three parts deflated football and an Anonymous Effort her Hale is Tilte an exploded can of Tomato realism the pearls produced for example one Star Serene and still hangs like an altar Likely to be overlooked in the flood of sparkling similes lot Loose by our humorists and sport writers. Just what the former can do when Given space enough is seen in this one the. Face of Tho world looks As though it had shaved itself with a broken Beer bottle while standing on a barrel in a and you can not help laughing at this description of a beaten heavyweight his face looked As through a face you will note is a favorite subject. A baseball hero was pictured recently As having a face like a Jar of Shakespeare was Seldom Content with the abstract when he could make it Concrete by a simile. See How deftly he does it she let concealment like a worm r the Bud feed on her damask sometimes his images crowd one upon another As in the lines on sleep so full of Beauty even in the frenzied speech of Macbeth sleep that knits up the Ravell d sleeve of care.

Signifying that is Macbeth s philosophy not Shakespeare a most of whose music is As Tuneable As Lark to Shepherd s when wheat is Green when Hawthorn buds Bible similes usually give us Fine blending of truth Beauty and dignity and some of them surely rank among the Best in All literature.

In modern efforts there is i marked tendency to go the limit. As fast us greased nothing can be faster for the Speed of the electric fluid is Einstein s limiting the greatest in the universe and could. The grease would help if it Bald As a of hard Ball is a cure for tuberculosis in View of the victories of medical science in recent years there will be wide interest in the experiments of. The Swiss physician. Or. Henry Spahlinger who has for some years been seeking a cure for tuberculosis. A sub committee of the medical Ommittee of the British House of commons recently went to Geneva. O investigate or. Spahlinger s work. They had no hesitation in declaring hat there was a Prima Facie Case for the specifics which he was using cure for tuberculosis. It re Mains yet of course to be thorough y tested out. The report of the committee is a highly interesting one and is reproduced in part Here with we Are bound to state that on he evidence presented to us a Prima Acie Case has been made out Frt the Spahlinger treatment. We consider t imperative in the interests of he Naulty that in exhaustive trial of. A remedy should be made. We do not wish to raise exaggerated Hopes but we state definitely hat of All known methods of com bating tuberculosis the Spahlinger method seems the most hopeful and promising. We examined with meticulous care about fifty patients Home cured and Well some partially cured and process of recovery and. Some who were just commencing treat nent. Amongst the latter were several of Tho gravest severity which no Means of treatment at present Cnown to science could to expected to recover. The clinical records of certain cases showed that persons who now appear perfectly fit and Well were originally suffering from in advanced stage of consumption. Clinical details temperature charts and a Ray photographs vouched for hospitals or Well known practitioners demonstrated that these patients originally had extensive cavitation of the lungs while some were almost moribund when first related. When we saw them the Only Evi Dence of their original condition now detectable was dullness and Cating where the lungs were sealed by fibrosis. There was no noise or adventitious sounds of any Cind and the temperature was nor Nal. The sputum examined and i reported upon by Independent medi Cal observers attached to hospitals etc., was negative. Other cases where unquestionable evidence of original extensive and consolidation was forthcoming exhibited no signs whatever of former disease. Some of these people were following unhealthy occupations in a very bad they remained perfectly fit and Well. Scarcely any of the patients had been treated by Spahlinger s reme Dies under suitable Hospital or Sanatorium conditions. Many of. Them remained at work though their temperatures were Well above Normal and several of them were following a Mode of life which was necessarily prejudicial to their prospects of cure. The patients comprised per sons from All ranks of society including the very poorest. Cases of. Healed Surglea-1 tuberculosis were also shown us though the pulmonary cases were by far most striking and convincing. Quite a number of cases had been treated from eight to twelve years ago and have remained Well without relapses during that time. The apr Parent permanence of Sorrye of the cures was very remarkable. de stand that several men who had advanced disease and who were treated before the War went into tha army and served throughout the Campaign emerging perfectly Well in 1918." Spahlinger has produced two types of remedies for 1 anti toxic serum to give passive immunity and to act As a directly curative agent and 2 vaccines or anti toxins made from cultures of specially exalted strains of tubercle Bacilli and fractionated by a method devised by himself. Spahlinger s. Theory is that Given a True anti toxin can be cured and relieved of All imme Diate symptoms and that Tho tissues can be rendered for the time being passively immune to the tubercle Bacillus make it that a course of vaccines should Fol Low so that the patient becomes actively immune for the rest of his life or at any rate for a prolonged period. A Complete clinical recovery can be brought about by the Means of serum alone but a relapse or a reinfection is always probable until passive immunity has been converted into Active immunity. The aim therefore of the anti toxin treat ment consists in. Stopping the rapid Progress of tha disease and in trans forming an acute Case into one where symptoms diminish and then disappear. Or. Spahlinger is a trained scientist who in our opinion possesses a remarkable originality amounting to Genius. He is a qualified Barris Ter and has had three and a half years training As a medical student. In addition to being a. Highly skilled bacteriologist he also possesses a great knowledge of electrical and Physicochemical apparatus and he exhibits a wonderful Fertility of mind in inventing and adapting mechanical appliances for bacteriological and pathological experiments. We Are satisfied that he is not actuated by any personal or selfish motives. He is truly desirous serving Mankind and has already expended a considerable Fortune in his investigations. He has exhibited an astounding generosity to poor patients and he Lias steadfastly re fused to allow his discoveries to be commercialized. We were informed that one Large irm of wholesale druggists of world wide reputation has offered him a to maintain the cure and permanent it is necessary Quarter of a million Sterling to bother with a half share of the pro fits for a monopoly of the Sale of his Sera and vaccines but he has rejected the proposal Well As others of a like irrigation s fruits from the Victoria Himpsl ten years ago great stretches of land in those sections where the an Nual precipitation does not exceed More than eight inches looked like the desert or tie Sands of the sea Shore. Then came the irrigation ditch. Some of the moisture reached the parched lands through Solen channels much of it flowed through primitive troughs fashioned by Oriental hands patches so watered have changed from yellow to Emerald Green and those harvests of Are nov har vests of Green edibles. From the Solc Herald Tribune. 1 the sea Serpent As a subject for hot weather Marine fiction pales into significance before the More arrest ing opportunities supplied by. The new popular interest in the science of geophysics. In the remarkable shift in the Humboldt current Oft the coast of South America or. Beebe discovers an indication of a gradual cataclysm taking place on the Globe. Old Mother Earth la yawning in her giving a shudder or turning Over in her spatial certainly there have been plenty of weird tales. Earthquakes have become a familiar subject. But or. E. F. Naulty is now promising the United states a new accretion of territory through the gradual Emer gence of the sea-bottom1 in the neigh boyhood of the hawaiian islands while a French naval lieutenant was recently surprised when he apparently found that the floor the Bay of Biscay had come up Over night from to Soo feet. The irreverent question of what the of nations would do if it were suddenly to be presented with a new at lactic does not quite dispel a slightly uneasy feeling. What can we expect if respectable sea Bottoms be Gin to act in this fashion the Earth actually May be in a less stable condition than she has been in the recent past on the other hand it May be the publicity is improved. A far As the Bay of Biscay goes one scientist doubts the accuracy of the information while another Points out that the same thing has happened not Infra or gently elsewhere without causing much of either comment or disaster. An Island off Martinique appeared and disappeared three times Between 1834 and 1898. The Pacific has Al ways enjoyed a charming liveliness of geography. In 1923 a Cable ship discovered that the Atlantic Bottom at of the gape of Good Hope had risen two Miles in the Twenty years since the Cable was Laid. The change in the Humboldt cur rent was spectacular in its effects torrential downpours in a country that is almost painless altered the whole face of nature destroyed the local fishing and nitrate industries and made deserts Blossom. But it had As a matter of fact happened before the natives Are familiar with the warm current from the North which at Long intervals makes Seri Ous incursions Down the coast. The stimulus to the imagination is Al most irresistible and one can expect at any moment a popular novel in which the villain is drowned at the last reorient by having a. Conti nent subside under him but if we Are actually taking part in a slow catastrophe of nature we should like to have clearer evidence. The newer scrawling from the Chicago Tribune generally speaking we Are sym pathetic with the Young folks of the land. That is to say neither in their dress nor manners do they cause us undue alarm. Their pen Manship i however is something quite different and altogether Blarr worthy. It s not entirely their fault but rather we suspect the fault of a system of writing which Wau introduced into the schools some eight or ten years ago. Penmanship can have Only two Virtues legibility and Beauty. On a scale of 100, the newer scrawling rates 34 in legibility and. Something less than Zero esthetically., we might Bear with the youngsters however were there any improve ment As they Advance toward maturity. There is none. Something shapeless in the snap no of their letters appears to be at the Root of the matter the hand of a Young lady old enough to vote and smoke is As immature As that of third grader. She can t conceal her deficiency behind a screens of unnecessary strokes. At its Copybook Best the new writing is Rococo at its very Gen eral worst if is Rococo in rules. It looks to us like a. Conspiracy on the part of the typewriter manufacturers. Fashion will hesitate to condemn a. Whole people. We can t All be morality or modesty is not a Mattei of a Yard of silk worn Here or Dis carded there. Conduct is a. Better not what she wears but How she wears it. Modes and morals from the Sari Francisco chronic is the relation of modes to morals is one of those questions involved in de Licate controversy for which the world has no satisfactory answer. In nothing perhaps Are men and women so much the creatures of environment As in the fashion of their clothes the fact is that it is not so much the amount of clothes a person wears taut the manner of wearing them that defines modesty. The godly men of. Tire Middle Ages found in the unseemly length of women s Traina evidence of immodesty and bade them discard the. Earthly Trumper. The towering starchy ruffs of Bethan age were a Mark for the Ana themas of. The Pulpi Teers and at u. Later Day the crinoline were a sure sign of moral decay. Just now the world is running to an abbreviation in dress in Sharp contrast to the Mode of our grand mothers. To tire Alder generation this tendency May seem to Mark a Lack of modesty in the age but to the child Ren of the generation the style has nothing to do with morals or Lack of morals propriety or impropriety. Future critics May smile at the.
