State to Build Barges.

The object of the bill Is to provide nKuinst the enforced idle¬ ness of the state harse canal next summer. Senator Henry M. Sage of Albany Introduced the bill.
Unless this Is done, the .senator warned, there Is no prospect of ftettlng tho relief for which the city aud 8t»le are,,erylng. Therefore It is proposed tho state organize oomiianles to build and equip barge eanal boai.s. The state then may lease tlie bouts to Individu¬ als or corporations, but any boats not leased nmy be operated by tlie stiite.

The Horse fliinrds, mere military ornnments, re- 1 S(>nible hnffleshlps, the three younjf- stera, torpedo bonts; nt lenst, snoh wns the comment of person.s who stood near by. The youngsters were nlr- men. An Amerlcnn, who had observed the six, snid: "Tha**lg fellows are nil right, but jrlve me those kids." Are the Real Heroes. The nlrmen, or the flyers, are the he¬ roes of England. All mere boys, they nre clean cut. alert, and full of confi¬ dence. They nre the snme as the fly¬ ers of all nations. Daredevils, many call them. Most of them expect to be killed, nnd In the long run mo.st of fhom are. Hut. ns the average Amerl¬ cnn flyer says: "We get a good fly for our money nt thnt."
Ju.st nt the present time, the two he¬ roes of the air in England nre Capt. .Tames McCudden, twenty-two yenrs old, nnd Capt. I'hilllp Foiillnrd, nine¬ teen. The exploits of these young¬ sters Ijnve but recently become known in f-iOndon, nnd when they return for 1,'ave. all Hritaln will be theirs. Cnp- tnin McCudden hns brought down .34 Germnn machines; Cnptnln Foullard has accounted for 42.
Th(>re Is no chance these humnn engles won't take. There Is no such Ihinff ns fear in their make-up. Cnp- tiiln McCudden Is tho leader of a squadron which hns brought down 99 enemy aircraft.

Health Insurance Bill.
A slate system of workmen's health insurance is proposed lu a bill Intro¬ duced' in the legislature by Senator t'ourtlaiidt .N'icoll ,:t Js'ew York city. The bill conforms generally to the plan presented last year by tbe American Association for i.abor I.egislation, which Ihea wus opposed in some de¬ tails by oi-gaiilzed labor, but in re¬ vised • I'orin has siii.'e been given its unanimous support, f(dlowliig careful study by ilw ('oniniittee on Health of tile Stale i'-ederation of Ijibor.
The bill, which covers sickness of all wage earners and their dependents, lirovides cash and medical benefits for 2G weeks In a year aiul offers special maternity benefits for working moth¬ ers. The actual cost of tbe benefits by the terms of the bill is to be shared equally by the employers and Insured employees, tlie total of which Is esti¬ mated to be on tbe average less tJian 4 per cent, of wages. (Jenerul 8ui)er%l- .sion of the system Is vested by the bill In the State Industrial <''ominl8slon as under workmen's compensation, with (ne state bearing merely the cost of atlmlnlstrafion.
