PHILADELPHIA* Julv 14— Issues

from now on in practicing that met

A law has horn placed upon the*
statue hooks of Pennsylvania defin
ing a misdemeanor. Hereafter* under
Its provisions* not only will the issu
ing of a “no account” check* or one
of the kind which returns with the in
scription “not suff*” -be punishable*
hut the new law says* “the mere fact
of making • drawing or delivering such
a check will be prima facie evidence
of intent to dofr^’d*” unless the
i diawor makes good th^ amount of the
! check with interest within ten days.
For the person who draws and ut
ter? *i worthless check for an amount
less than twenty dollars the penalty
on convict;on is $100 fine or thirty
day’s imprisonment* while for the
twenty dollars the imprisonment is

LONDON* July 14— (Correspon
dence of The Associated Press)— Act
ual construction work already has
been begun in connection with the pro
jected Cape to Cario Air Service, the
Rritish Air Ministry announces. Aero
dromes are being set up every 600
miles, the present non-stop limit, from
one end of Africa to the other, the
principal ones being built at Cario,'
Khartoum, and two in German East
Africa, at Kampla and Ujiji.
The route then passes into Rhodesia,
and along the course of the railway co
the Cape. Long before the famous
Cape to Cario railway is in operation,
it i.s confidently expected that air
, planes will be covering the route on
regular schedules. The distance is •»,
200 miles.
After establishing this service, the
plan of the Air Ministry is to hand
it over as a going enterprise to a Rrit
! ish commercial company.
The Air Ministry is acting as a pio
neer in various undertakings and, ac
cording to one of its officials , its pos
ition to commercial flying will me an
1 nlogous to that of the Rritish Admir
alty and merchant-marine service. A
“Lloyd’s Aircraft Register” is expect
ed to make its appearance in the near
future. Already wireless stations o i
the Continent signal the passage, ap
uaront condition, origin, nationality,
cargo and destination of passing air
, craft.
“England”, said the official, iT on
ly on account of Empire communica
tion. has* more to ask of other powers
in the way of flying rights than sh ?
has to grant. Air travel will not be,
in the main, over the sea. That is too
circuitous.”
Commercial signal codes are hemp
considered at the Ministry, also the
question of air police.

COLORADO SPRINGS* Colo.. July
14_ Private Jesse Funk of Calhan
Colorado’s greatest war hero- is not
going into vaudeville. Instead* he in
tends to rest probably will take a job
at the Denver stock yards* because he
is first of all a cattleman. Funk di
vulged this information last wer,<
while he was in Colorado Springs with
his father and mother* Mr. and Mrs.
Martin Funk.
Funk returned from the service last
week. General Pershing has numbered
Vunk among the thirty-two greatest
heroes of the war. On his breast T'unk
wears the Congressional Medal of
Honor • the French Croix D^ Guerre
and the Distinguished Service Cro«s.
Since his return, the roads to the
Funk ranch have been kept busy with
the visit from congratolatoiy neigh
bors who have known Jess since he
first rode a b^rse.
“What I did any man would do who
had the chance. I was lu<Jcy to get
the chance*” he says.
Funk got his decoration for saving
the life of a wounded lieutenant under
fire. The British and Belgian govern
ments also have awarded honors to
him but the medals have not arrived.
“I’ve had a dickens of a time over
these medals*” Funk said when asked
how it felt to be a hero. “It takes ..
hero to stand up under this welcome
stiff. I’d rather have those machine
gunners shooting at me than to face
all these welcomes* newspapermen*
rhotegraphers and so on.”
