METHODIST SCHOOLS
 ENJOYING PROSPERITY
ARKANSAS INSTITUTION ON FIRM BASIS, SAYS DIR.
 ANDERSON.

Little Rock, March 2.-Rev. Stone wall Anderson formerly president of Hendrix college at Conway, now sec retary of the education commission of the Methodist Episcopal chuhch, south, passed through Little Rock Wednesday on his way back to Nash vile, Tenn, after visiting number of Methodist educational institutions of Oklahoma. The board of which Rev. Anderson is secretary has super vision of all Methodist schools. He states that rapid progress is being made by the Oklahoma institutions, and while they are yet far behind the Arkansas institutions, they are grow ing rapidly and are profting by the experience of the older Arkansas schools and avoiding the mistakes which were made by those of Arkan- sas in their building. Rev Anderson states that all Arkansas Methodist institutions are now on firm foun- daton and the next few years will see them show material gain.

IOCUSTS HAVE SLEPT
 I3 YEARS: DUE AGAIN
PESTIFEROUS INSECTS WILL BE IN MISSISSIPPI RIVER
 VALLEY.

Washington, March 2.-The curios- ity of entomologists in this section concerning the 13-year cicada, or To- cust, may be abundantly satisfied this season. The forethought of the gen. eration that lived 13 years ago has provided for swarms of the voracious their birth is made possible by rec ords of the bureau of entomology, United States department of agricul- ture.
 There are two varieties of the To- cut, the 13-year-old breed and the IT. year-old breed. All states bordering on the Mississippi river below Mis- fested by the 13-year-old brood this summer. Western Tennesseee, East ern Arkansas and Mississippi are to experience the heaviest distribution of the insect this year, which is mi gratory and closely related to the grasshopper.
 In Africa and South Asia these in sects are so numerous at times as to devours every green thing; and when they migrate they fly in an immense cloud. The grubs of one brood have been found by excavators in New York city. The western brood is de scrbed and located in a circular by c. L. Marlatt, entomologist and assist ant chief of bureau.
 The appetite of the cicada for green stuff is such that lawns and trees are stripped when they gather in consid- erable numbers. The female lives on- ly a few days, but she finds time to lay 800 eggs. The insects which hatch drop to the ground, burrow a foot deep and sleep there for 13 or r years, when they crawl to the surface, spread their wings and sing their brief song of life.

General Allen to
Announce Aviation
Plans for Winter

Gen. James Allen, head of the Signal
Corps of the War Department, will re-
turn to Washington next Saturday,
after a months vacation at Atlantic
City. When General Allen gets back
things will hum at College Park.
He is expected to announce the pur-
chase of the double-control Curtiss BIZ
plane, 70 to 100 miles an hour; two
monoplanes, probably a Bleriot and a
Newport, and to decide whether the
aviation school will be moved South for
the winter.
The cool, crisp morning air for the
past two weeks, has turned the thoughts
Of the officers and enlisted men at Col
lege Park to the balmy climate of
DiXieland. and an announcement from
General Allen as to the plans for the
winter will be received with great in
terest by them.
1t will be impossible to carry on the
work satisfactorily at College Park dur
Ing the winter, for from the middle of
November on until the last of March
II is so extremely cold and disagree
able that flying in such atmosphere
would be very dangerous. But If the
school is established somewhere in the
Southland, where the climate is warm
and balmy the whole winter round, the
officers will lose no time in their work
The level land in the South makes
cross-country flying better than around
here, so the officers should have no
trouble in carrying on their work in
that part Of the country.

Aeroplane Device
For Stability Will
Be Tested Monday

John P. TarboX, inventor of an auto
matte stability device to regulate and
steady the flying of an aeroplane, an
nounces that his instrument will posi-
lively be demonstrated at College Park
Monday afternoon, and following this
demonstration he will invite the Signal
Corps officers of the War Department
out Tuesday afternoon for a special
demonstration for them
Joseph Richter, an aviator, of New
York, carried the Shneider biplane,
which belongs to Mr.. Tarbox, and upon
which the stability device is to be
demonstrated, up for a trial fight last
evening. The machine will be flown
Q couple Of times this evening, and early
Monday morning the stability device
will be attached to the biplane, and in
the afternoon Richter will take the
machine UP.
Great interest centers around the in
vention by Mr.. Tarbox. If his machine
does what he claims 1t will, its adoption
In aviation would completely reVolu-
donize the art of flying. Monday after
noon Mr.. Richter will take the
Shneider machine up to an altitude of
200 feet. He will strike a straight
away" course, and then he will take
his hands entirely off the control and
trust to Mr.. Tarbox's invention to keep
the machine at a perfect equilibrium.
Mr.. TarboX claims that once in the
air and sailing, that his invention will
keep an aeroplane flying smoothly all
the time, and keep il from fitting from
one side to the other.

Army Aviators
Planning Series
Of Long Air Trips

II they get the consent of Gen.
James Allen, head Of the Signal Corps,
the army officers will attempt some
long cross-country flights in the near
future.
Baltimore is to be visited some time
the coming week. A trip was to have
been made over there either Thurs
day or yesterday, but owing to the
visit of Lieut.. John Rodgers, from
Annapolis, the College Park flyers de-
cided to stay at home and entertain
their visitor
I'VE will not stop at Baltimore"
said Captain Beck yesterday I'VE
will go to New York II we can get
permission to do so. The fight would
be easy. We can make the trip Just
as successfully as did Harry Atwood
from there here. But the question is,
will the Signal Corps give permits
sion?"
1t is but a question of time until
the men will begin to make cross
country flights covering in the round
trip about 100 miles. From time to
time the army officers hope to in
crease the length of their trips, until
eventually they will become so ac-
customed to cross-country flights
that in case of war they would not
be at a disadvantage in flying a few
hundred miles.
Captain Beck and Captain Chandler
realize the fact that the flying ma
chine will be most useful in long
cross-country flights and they are
very anxious that the men make as
many as possible before cold weather.

CAPT. BECK TO FLY
TO- ANNAPOLIS AND
BACK WITHOUT STOP
Trip, If Successful, Will
Break Army Aviation
! Distance Record.

Hal Chase and his New York Ameri-
cans will hardly get to see Capt Paul
w. Beck fly into Jimmy McAleer's ball
grounds this afternoon, for the plans
were suddenly changed this morning.
Depending on the weather, Captain
Beck will make the longest continu-
Gus flight in the history Of Govern
ment aviation, flying over to An
napolis and return without a stop.
The start will be made from College
Park at 8 o'clock, and Captain Beck
hopes to fly over to the navy school
and return in about an hour. The air
line distance from College Park to
Annapolis is twenty-five miles, SO a
return trip would consist of fifty
mile journey. Captain Beck. hopes to
make this distance in an hour or even
better. With good weather conditions
he can easily make fifty-ffve miles an
hour in his Curtiss machine.
He will circle the buildings at the
Naval Academy and return to College
Park. He will make the trip alone.
Captain Beck is anxious to see what
his machine can do, and if he flies to
Annapolis and return without stop,
it means that in the future he will
attempt even greater flights.
