Whether a property owner is also owner of the air above hiy land is to be determined through a court action brought by Frederick Hoenemann, a fanner. He seeks to restrain a com pany owning airplanes from using the air above his farm. lloeuemann contends that sight of the machines and the noise of the!r engines disturb tho livestock. There is said to be no direct pre cedent to guide the court, and the case ia causing wide discussion In legal circles. Legal experts of England have discussed the matter from tho stand point of national ownership of the air. it Is said. Some lawyers contend that free- domof tho soas and freedom of tho air are the same, while others assert, tho courts have held that ownership carries with it light and air above the property a3 well as the earth be neath. It is pointed out that when the steam engine came there were many law suits, the plaintiff contending that the poise as well a3 the danger jeopardized their stock. The Massa chusetts Supreme Court, however, rendered the opinion that the loco motive whs lawful and in keeping with progress.

REVOLUTION IS UNPOPULAR TERM English Use Word Reconstruct ion Instead to Refer to In dustrial Conditions There London, JulyTT (Correspondence Of The Associated Press.) The word "revolution" which foreign observers sometimes apply to the present tran sitional stage of British Industrial and political life is not popular here. Revolution savors of bayonets and bloodshed, and the British poo pie d not forsce nor predict that. Recon struction Is the current term even though general result of what is bo ing done and agitated for may, In tho opinion of other peoples, amount :o an industrial revolution. A brief summary of the changes under way should show that recon struction in Great Britain comes roughly under two heads, th-3 official . and the unofficial. The principal pro jects which the Government is grap pling with are these: Nationalization of tho two grcnt. basic industries, coal mining and the ra'lways. Government support for all per sons out of work through war con ditions. Schemes for government house building fbr workers, and land for the demobilized Boldiers. A colossal system of electric power plants for rflannfactOringf Increased pay for everybody In tho government service, which has al ready been granted Xp the Navy and Army, with further Increases for postal and telegraph workers and the police. School teachers and Oth er classes of public servants also are demanding Increases. The unofficial reconstruction calls for higher wages and shorter work ing hours for all in the organized in dustries. These are being obtained partly by amicable negotiations be tween employers and workmen, but also largely through strikes and threats of strikes, of which the Idle ness of half a million from the cotton mills is an instance. Proceeding simultaneously with these movements and sometimos com plicated with them are political agi tations which now and htcn reach the point of crisi3. The principal poli tical issues are: Nationalization of mines, railways and other essential industries, abandonment of the old British free trade system for protect ion, (Involving tho question open to endles3 discussion whether British commercial prosperity has been be cause of free trade or handicapped by it), the position of Ireland whoso present condition has come to be recognized as a millstone on the neck of the empire, and' the proposal to clear off the war debt by a levy on capital. Also there is a campaign organ- .zei labor, backed by talk, of a gen oral strike, for the Immediate aboli tion of conscription, withdrawal from all interference in Russian affairs, and bringing home the soldiers from Russia, India, and Egypt. Anti-im-perialisnr the democrats call this propaganda. BOOTBliACKS BACK IN BERLIN Berlin, July 1. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
