NAVY NEEDS AIR SAILORS
IAssoclated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-Two aero
planes, or at least one tWo-seated ma
chine, should constitute part of the
equipment of each of the scout cruis-
ers of the United States navy. This
recommendation as the initial step or
the government in the actual develop
ment of aerial navigation from the
standpoint of the navy is made in "a
report to Secretary Meyer by Captain
Washington /. Chambers, who was
delegated by the secretary to study the
possibilities of the aeroplane i'll war
fare.
Whatever may be the results OBJ
tanned from the future development of
aeroplanes for use on land" says Cap
tain Chambers, "a type or types es-
pecially adapted TO the navy service is
yet to be developed. For this reason l
recommend the immediate purchase of
only such of the existing aeropanes as
are needed for the tentative and pro-
gressiVe instruction OF our personnel In
their use
Aeroplanes in the navy in the opin
ion of Captain Chambers, should be
placed in the same category as boats
and be acquired in like manner, as
equipment. The subject of aviation
should be mastered by members of the
naval service, says Captain Chambers,
in order that the science may be ad
vanced from a nautical standpoint and
that experts may be given Il correct
understanding Of the conditions and
problems which are of special inpor-
tance to the navy.
AIR SAILORS ARE NEEDED
we are fortunate" he declared, "in
being able to rely, to certain extent,
upon the United States aeronautical re-
serve for trained aViators, many of
them equipped with acroplanes, to eX
pand our resources in emergency.
But it would be folly to depend en-
tirely upon this cause, and for that
reason we urge the training of the navy
personnel in aeronautiCs."
On the Pacific coast, the report con-
tinues in this connection, suitable fa
cilities probably could be found near
the coaling station at san Diego for
training in aeronautics.
In order that the naval arm may
keep abreast of the progress of the
aviation Captain Chambers recon-
mends that an office of naval aero
nautics" be established in the navy
department to be composed of the rep
resentatives of the bureaus of con-
struction and repair, steam engineer
navigation and ordnance, all of which
are concerned In the development of
aviation In the navy. This board
would be charged with the RESPONSE
bility of studying the aerial problem
in its every detail from the viewpoint
OF the navy to the end that the aero
plane may be perfected for naval uses.

The conditions there are about the

the work and the others sat back and
looked wise. One of the former Keo-

here has written to Commodore Webb,
heartily commencing him on his action
in resigning. The Peoria Star OF a

modore Webb gave business as his
reason for his resigning, bur those
who are close TO the genial commo
dore know that business played but q
small part in his devastating OF the
leadership and that he threw down
the reins and quit more in disgust
and disappointment than anything
else.
In the first place, Mr.. Webb had q
tilt with the Peoria Water Carnival
Association prior TO the recent re
gatta. He believed that as commo-
dore of the Illinois Valley Yacht club
he should have some voice in the con-
duct OF the regatta On the opening
of the event. Webb declared that he
was baffled at every turn by carnival
committeeman, slow. Ivy club mem
bers and the Canoe club contingent.
Nevertheless the Illinois Valley Yacht
club is today given credit by boatmen
for pulling off the greatest race re-
gatta ever given IN Peoria.
There were mistakes made during
TIE regatta, declared Commodore
Webb this morning. but the blame is
being placed at the wrong door. and
several members of the Ivy club are
the 1oudest in spreading the wrong
dope The rules of the Mississippi
Valley Power Boat Association. under
which the races were conducted, pre-
vented the placing Of several speed
boat races On the same program.
This is done to protect the small boat
that may want TO enter into higher
class races. The cruisers races should
be abandoned altogether They are
uninteresting. Anyhow, the rules
should be amended and the distance
cut from twenty to five miles. We
had lots TO contend with and got
away with II fine from the stand
point of boat enthusiast and true
sportsman. Now they are going
around and knocking the whole af-
fair. The races were the greatest
ever pulled off and the fireworks were
grand. The Canoe club fizzled on the
Venetian parade But that is not the
faulI OF the Ivy club.
Webb, in an address before the club
in the meeting last evening told the
members plainly what he thought of
the whole matter He paid his re-
spects TO a few men who had never
witnessed boat racing before" They
are backbiters." he said, who have
been holding everything of progress
that was ever started in Peoria" He
declared that the club was handicap
ped by these men, calamity howlers. he
called them, who he asserted refused
10 give credit TO their own club and
their own city for something accom-
plished by no other city in the country
before.
Webb took his seat at the conclu-
sion of his address amidst cheers, and
George t. Page broke all precedents
OF the club by moving that the club
tender the retiring commodore vote
of thanks for his allegiance and work
towards the success of the organiza-
ton.
D. S. Brown vice commodore of the
club will assume the reins as COM
modore during the few remaining
weeks elapsing before the regular cleo
ton. The report of Treasurer E. H.
Cover was heard and the funds of the
cub were shown to be in a healthy
condition Bills for over $1,000 were
allowed.

Fishes are distributed at various stages
of development, according to the species.

rearing them in the applicants stream
The bass and sunflsh are distributed from
the various fish cultural stations and
ponds from three weeks after they are
hatched until they are several months
old In the last lots sent out each sea-
son the bass usually range from to 6
inches in length. and the sunfish from

tributed over the eggs The pan is then
passed to a washer, who continues shak-
ing them and pours IN a small quantity
of water. This is done several times and
the eggs are placed on shelves to await
the process Of swelling.
Afterward they are laid on trays and
carried to TIE hatchery, where they are
piled up, 10 to 20 deep, In frames so
arranged as to allow the passage Of water
through the stack freely. The entire
winter is passed in these stacks. After
long and careful treatment they are ready
for Matching and can be shipped in spe-
cially prepared packing cases. The hatch
ing is gradual and great care must be
exercised in feeding and nurturing them.
Finally the vigorous young salmon ap-
pears in fCll-fedged form and IS ready to
be released, after reaching certain age,
to shift for himself.
In the propagation OF trout, ponds are
constructed OF wood about 80 feet long
by 10 feet wide, with q free water cir
eulatiOn through them. The spawning
season varies in different parts Of the
country, beginning In the middle of No
vember in some places and in Colorado
as late as the early part of May. The
fish, both male and female, are lifted out
of the pond in nets at the proper season
and the eggs are stripped and impreg-
mated by the wet" or dry process as
described before
After being stripped the females are
placed in one pond and the males in an
other, for the latter are very pugnaciOus
and often fight each other until exhausted.
They lock their jaws together. sink to
the bottom of the pond, rest while on
the bottom still holding each other in
the grip, and then rise 10 the surface
again to continue the fight Their teeth
are long and not infrequently they bite
pieces of skin and flesh from each other
The fortified eggs are incubated on
trays. which are placed In troughs ar
ranged for the passage of water through
them. They are watched carefully rs to
the temperature and aeratiOn Of the
water and the dead eggs are picked out
After they nave Matched cut they are
kept IN troughs until too large and then
placed in rearing ponds Trout are dis
tributed and shipped as eggs on trays
prepared for that purpose, and as fry.
In several instances trays OF eggs have
been shipped to England. Mexico, South

Jupiter enjoys this part Of the program
quite as much as he does the ascension.
