ALL PLANES DWARF
IN COMPARISON WITH
DIG BARLING BOMBER
By Associated Press
Day toe, Ohio, Oct. 17.—The Barling
boiriber Is the largest airplane. The
Martin bomber, the largest airplane
in use by the air service before the
advent o* the Barling, Is a pigmy com-
pared to it. The Barling soon Is to
make a tour or the country. The ex-
act Itinerary has not yet been announc-
ed. but the machine will be at New
York about October 20.
The Barling has a wing spread of
120 feet, a height of 28 feet and an
overall length of 85 feet.
The gasoline capacity Is six tons, or
2,000 gallons. The oil capacity 1,350
pounds or 181 gallons.
Six Liberty engines are required to
"^-•power the Barling.

erate the Barling consists of four men
but provision Is made for a crew of

tlons require that not more than 5,000
pounds of bombs shall be carried at
one time, but were anything so large
as a 10,000 pound bomb developed, the
Barling could lift It and fly for two
hours.
Specifications require a flying speed
of 90 miles an hour. On
flight the Barling accomplished
the main wings of the DH-4 airplanes.
There are four equal size rudders.
The Barling has eight wheels with
tires 60x12 Inches, the largest ever
made. Two wheels with smaller tires
are on a truck further forward under
the fuselage to prevent the airplane
from nosing over. A radio set has
bean installed in the bomber.
W. H. Barling, designer of the Bar-
ling bomber speaking of the purposes
of ouch an airplane, says:
“Two elements have influenced the
U. S. air service in investing the ex-
penditures absorbed In the production
of an airplane such as the Barling
bomber. These may be classified as
the known uses of such an airplane
and the uses not yet known, owing to
lack of experience with large air-
planes.

My Associated Presa
Detroit, Oct. 1G.—Methods of teach-
ing health to older school children
who have not been so trained in their
earlier years were discussed before
today’s session of the American Child
Health Association’s annual meeting
by Miss Maud A. Brown, director of
child health education in Fargo, North
Dakota, where the first demonstra-
tion in the Commonwealth Fund
Child Health Demonstration Program
is being conducted.
In today’s address Miss Brown dealt
almost exclusively with the pre-adoles-
cent hoy—the youngster of 12 or 13.
The subject of her paper was
“Teaching Health to Older Children.”
“Of all human creatures the most
difficult for the average woman to
understand,’’ she said, “is the pre-
adolescent male, hence he is the.jnost
difficult to appeal to successfully. The
boy of 12 13 the most male creature,
psychologically, in the world. The
woman teacher might as well be non-
existent. He merely tolerates his
mother end his sister as an Irritating
foreign body. The wise woman will
combine with other wise women and
see to it that there are available good
men 1n public places.
“In teaching health then to the pre-
adolescent male, the teacher, usually
a woman, would do well to keep in the
background, making her appeal to two
outstanding psychological characteris-
tics:
“1. Tbe boy Is at this age an en-
tirely self-centered egotistic male.
‘2. He is a member of a gang.
“Despite its dangers and abuses, the
solution of the problem of teaching
health to this boy lies chiefly In
group games and athletics with some
element of competition. To elimi-
nate the dangers and keep the punch
is one of the big health * education
problems.
“The inner urge the boy feels to as-
sert his entity may be capitalized by
the health teacher in loosing him into
U sanitary survey of the city. Let the
boys fix the blame for this adult in-
efficiency. A sanitary survey of the
school building and grounds is val-
uable in the same way.
“With the connivance of the physi-
cal education teacher or the Scout
Master a course in camp cookery can
fill in the chink—and to, the boy all
unsuspecting, has swallowed a large
idose of health instruction. He will
use this superior knowledge to para-
lyze his family W’lien he loftily rejects
the offerings of the frying pan or de-
mands the milk but yesterday scorned

TWO KNOWN DEAD
MILLIONS LOST IN
OKLAHOMA LI.00D
By Associates Pres*
Oklahoma City. Okla., Oct. 17.—Ok-
lahoma is emerging today from the
most disastrous flood in the history
of the state, and set about with relief
and reconstruction measures, with
thousands of people homeless, two
known dead in Oklahoma City, mil-
lions of dollars worth of property laid
to waste, railroad and highway traffic
paralyzed and public utility services
demoralized.
The flood waters here are rapidly
receding and most of the refugees
have returned to their homes. It is
estimated that not more than one
thousand persons are now under the
care of the relief agencies.
TO OLDER CHILDREN TEXAS QUICK SILVER
INDUSTRY GROWING
By Associated Press
Alpine, Texas, Oct. 17.—Far down
here in a corner of Texas, almost un-
noticed by the general public, there
is under development an industry that
already has grown to large propor-
tions, and which is adding another ele-
ment cf wealth to the state’s apparent-
ly limitless riches.
This industry is the mining of cin-
nabar from which is extracted the
valuable mercury or quick-silver.
Quick-silver is said to be in growing
demand in commerce and in the arts.
Expert mineralogists are now at
work exploring for this highly prized
'■liquid metal” amid the silbnt moun-
tain ranges and the hidden canyons
in the southern part of Brewster coun-
ty, whose depths only now are said to
bo .revealing the secret of their great
wealth.
Brewster county In 1922 produced
more than one-third of all the quick-
silver produced’ in the United States,
according tp the United States Geolog-
ical Survey; and this is considered
now the largest quick-silver produc-
ing region In the world. ^
Quick-silver is the popular term for
wliat is also called mercury. It is the
only metallic element which becomes
liquid at ordinary temperatures, chem-
ists say. It is employed, among other
things, for medical purposes, filling
thermometers and barometers, for ex-
tractor! of gold from ore; and for
backing mirrors.
In using quick-silver for extraction of
gold from crushed ore, the ore is
washed by a gentle stream of water
over a copper plate amalgamated with
mercury. The gold particles, being
heavy, sink through the water so as
to come lr. contact with the copper
plate, where they are held by the mer-
cury in the form of a cold amalgam.
The district here covers a territory
of abouj^ thirty miles, running east and
west in what is known as the Terlia-
qua district. The entire Santa Hele-
na mountain range is being explored
for the metal.
The Uhisos mine at Terlinqua, 85
miles south of Alpine in Brewster
county, s the largest quick-stiver mine
tr. the United States. No mine in the
world is known to be larger. One
mine has been netting about $30,000
a month; while more than $2,000,000,
worth cf quick-silver has been taken
from another mine, and it is estimated
that this small district alone has pro-
duced more than $10,000,000 worth of
quick-silver since operations began
here. These mines are from 85 to 95
miles from the nearest railroad sta-
j tion. which is at Alpine.
When the district first opened, 30
