a Eieh OUT Of Water,

Many people think that fish when
taken out of the water die because air
has fatal effect on them. The real
reason. however is that their delicate
gill filaments or membranes become
dry and stick together. SO that no air
can pass between them. Thus they
lose the power to inlbibe necessary
oxygen, and the circulation of their
blood stops. The painful gasping of a
fish out of water is natures effort to
free the passage through the fila
ments.

known as she was hurriedly placed
in an automobile and taken to her

were garbed as working girls and for
this reason the police could not dis

Washington, D. c., Nov. 1.-Twenty
aeroplanes at least are needed for the
United States government service says
General James Allen, chief signal Of
ficer of the army, in his annual re.
port made public tonight.
"These aeroplanes should be on
regular practice at different points
in the country throughout the year,
continues General Allen. "They should
be present at camps of instruction
for regular troops and organized
militia. Twenty aeroplanes would
provide but two for each camp of in
struction."
ITO operate this many would require
at least twenty specially trained Of
ficers as pilots. In addition to this,
each machine must carry at least one
observer which experience has shown,
will require much training and actual
practice before the usefulness of heav'
ier than air machines is attained"
General Allen deprecates the fact
that although UUnited States was the
first nation officially to recognize
aeroplanes for military purposes this
government has not kept pace with
the world in the development of mill
tary aeronautics.
The present equipment of the Unit
ed States army consists of one small
practice dirigible balloon, one Wright
aeroplane and three small captive bal
looms says the general
