TWENTY-EIGHT THE MORNING HERALD, HAGERSTOWN, MARYLAND Airline Fares To Be Boosted Washington, Aug. 19 ()--The nations airlines will increase pas- eenger fares in general 10 percent a resit of an industry conference with the Civil Aeronautics Board today. Chairman Joseph J. O'Connell, of the CAB reported the forthcoming increase as one of the informal decisions of the conference on the industry's financial difficulties. The rate boost will make the average fare just over six cents a mile on most air lines.

The present average rate is 5.5 cents. O'Connell said that in considering steps to relieve the airlines losses, which totaled $16,000,000 in the 12 months ended March 31, the board felt that elimination of free meals aloft is desirable. "If 'we had to make a decision today, we would have ruled, at least by a majority, to end free meals," O'Connell said. -As a working figure for discussion purposes during the day, the board adopted as 'the annual cost of free meals served to airline passengers. 'The informal understanding to increase passenger fares was de- scribed as calling for a general 10" percent addition to the present 'lire'structure of the "big five" a corresponding increase by other' airlines at points where they are in competition with the "big five-" -These five are American, United, Eastern and Northwest Airlines.

Three of the, five--United, Trans W.orid and American--have filed applications for 10 percent increase to be elective in September. George H. Norrit, Sr. George H. Norris, died at the home of his son, George H.

Funeral Services Held For Bambino New York Says Last Goodbye To Babe Ruth With Solemn Hush New York, Aug. 19 York said a last good-bye to Babe Ruth today with solemn hush and tears. It was sharply in contrast to the roaring cheers and laughter that followed him throughout his lusty career--this final farewell to a home run slugger who enters into the folk history- of America. The crowds that always followed the hulking figure were still there. Police estimated 6,000 persons were in huge St.

Patrick's Cathedral for the requiem mass. Another 75,000 stood in Fifth avenue and the Rockefeller Center area surrounding the Cathedral in the heart of the city. They were deathly still and many wepf. There was no eulogy at the Cathedral mass. But Francis Cardinal Spellman, in a special prayer which he composed, asked that the divine spirit "that inspired Babe Ruth to overcome- hardships and win the crucial game of life may animate a generations of American youth." The casket was borne into St.

Patrick's between, a double row of honorary pallbearers headed by Gov. Thomas E. Dewey and Mayor William O'Dwyer. It was placed on a catafalque flanked by six tall lighted candles. The blanket of roses and orchids was taken away during the mass.

How To Moke Lamb Feel Sheepish MvslerV DeeDeiH In i 1 I III Outbreak Of Fires An unidentified sheep may not realize it, but he is about to get dipped the modern way in this photograph. Standing beside the portable equipment, available to all county farmers, is Mason Schamel, James.

New Sheep Dip Method Offered Here To Help Put Animals Back On Farms Striving to restore sheep production here to its former prominence, and to improve the individual sheep in the county, the University of Maryland extension service and the Livestock Sanitary Service are offering a brand new help to farmers. County Agent Mark Miller said yesterday that a portable sheep dipping unit is for any farmer who wants its use, and it will the farmer nothing except the price of materials in the dip, which consists of eight pounds of benzine hexachloride to 100 gal- Ions of water. Some 300 head of sheep have already been dipped in the county in the elevator-like affair. The animal is enclosed in a little cage, hoisted into the vat of liquid with a crane, and his troubles from external parasites are ended. No second dipping is necessary, as was the case with older methods, the fleece quality is greatly improved; and the animal itself feels considerably better.

Two cages are connected with the portable mechanism, which means that one sheep dries off while the other is being dipped, putting the whole thing on something close to a production line basis. The county agent pointed out that sheep raising in the state used to be concentrated in Washington county. Various factors -caused a great decline in the number of sheep raised here, but he believes that this county's land is perfectly adapted for this animal, and the dog menace is due to be reduced in the near future. Farmers may acquire the use of the mechanism by calling Mr. Miller or contacting Charles Schamel at St.

James. Farmers who have only a few animals may take their sheep to dipping operations which may be conducted somewhere in the neighborhood, and arrange to pay their share of the expenses for the liquid. GOOD LUGGAGE A vacation must. See our stock before buying. CRIDER LEATHER GOODS 50 E.

A i i Pilot Hero Of Landing Glenview, 111., Aug. 19 (jp)--The pilot was the hero of a successful mergency landing of an American Airlines plane carrying 35 passengers and a crew of three today. The 33-year-old pilot, Capt. Edward T. Cycon of Chicago, set his two-engined ship down in a shower of sparks at the Glenview Naval Air Field after futilely trying for more than an hour to lower a jammed nose wheeL No one aboard the plane arriving Tom was hurt.

Most of the passengers remained calm. Two women fainted, after safely leaving the plane. Blazes Have Dogged the Charles WHteys In Past 12 Days Macomb, 111., 19 new fires--starting almost simultaneously in the chicken house and the milk house dogged the burned-out, mystified Charles Wll- leys today. The elderly farm couple, who have been living under a tarpaulin suspended by poles since their farm home burned down Saturday, reported they observed smoke seeping from their chicken house shortly before noon. Willey found a box of old newspapers blazing fiercely but stamped out the flames.

Then Mrs. Willey said she opened a cupboard door in their temporary dining room in the milk house and found newspapers on the shelf smouldering. She patted out the fire before the flames did much more than scorch the paper. "I'm completely mystified," said Fire Chief Fred Wilson after inspecting the source of the new fires. He took the newspapers back to his office for a chemical analysis.

Within the past 12 days fires have destroyed the Willey home and a barn. Small blazes also have been extinguished in the milk house and chicken house. Nearly 200 small fires flared up spontaneously in the Willey home before the final blaze consumed it. The last previous fire on the farm broke out Tuesday night in the milk house when newspapers tacked to the wall to shut out the wind flared up. Neighbors who helped put out many of the blazes are as mystified as the Willeys.
