Scarcity Of Officers
Hampers Work Of
Army Flying School

Many knotty problems have con-
fronted the Signal Corps of the army
In the selection of men to be sent to
the aviation school at College Park,
Nd, to be taught how to fly.
In the first place, commissioned
officers have been so scarce that it is
almost impossible to get enough men
to carry on the work. An idea was
advanced to employ civilian aviators,
but this plan was soon dismissed, be-
cause it would cost the Government
many times what the salaries of off,
GERS would be. Then the idea of
teaching enlisted men was advanced,
but this, too, was quickly dismissed,
because it was realized that hundreds
of young men would enlist in the
army for the purpose of learning to
manipulate flying machine, and no
sooner would they be taught to fly
than they would buy their release
from the army and take up aviation
with some company, and thus the
Government would receive no benefit
from their enlistment.
1t is a great temptation for the
commissioned officers to quit the
Government service and take up
aviation on their own responsibility.
For instance, Capt. Paul w. Beck was
offered sometime ago $4,000 If he
would quit the Government service
and go with a certain company, but
he refused because he feels that the
Government has helped him and he
does not propose to leave the army.
Lieutenant Milling, Lieutenant Arnold
and Lieutenant Kirkland have all re-
ceived handsome offers to quit the
army and go with private concerns,
but each man feels honor bound to
stick to the Government, and have
turned the offers down.
So the temptation would be greater
to the enlisted men, who make but
small salaries. They would no sooner
learn than they would buy their re-
lease from the army and sign up with
some private company.
The officers now engaged in avia-
ton work are taking great pride in
it because they believe in the years
to come they will be recognized as
pioneers in Government aviation
work

EUROPEAN filters
LIKELY FOR ARMY
AVIATION SCHOOL
Government Probably VIII
Soon Purchase Two
Monoplanes.

Although the question of purchasing
additional aeroplanes for the army will
not be decided upon until General AL
len. head of the Signal Corps, returns
on September Ii from his vacation. the
probabilities are that two foreign mono
planes will be bought for the use OF
the aviation school at College Park.
A BIeriot and a Nieuport will more
than likely be added to the equipment
at College Park. These are two OF the
finest monoplanes built in Europe, and
have been unusually successful in many
flights. In the recent meet at Chicago
both the Bleriot and the Newport me-
chimes covered themselves with glory in
the events in which monoplanes were
scheduled to compete. Both of these
machines are capable of carrying two
men. one driver and a passenger, and
can make seventy-five miles an hour in
an even wind.
II the monopianes are purchased It is
more than probable that the Govern
ment will ask for an expert aviator to
be sent with each one so as to instruct
q student for each machine.
At the present, there are about $50
applicants from lieutenants and cap
tains in the army to learn aviation, but
owing to the scarcity of commissioned
officers there are not many to spare.
However, Captain Beck and Captain
Chandler, of the aviation school, hope
to have a few more students in about a
month, and then If any new machines
are purchased the work will not be de-
layed in any way.
Before the present fiscal year ends,
June 80, 1912, the officers at College Park
hope to have about fifteen machines in
use.
Congress appropriated 100000 for the
aviation school at the last regular ses-
sion, and so far only about $50, 900 has
been used. This leaves plenty of money
to make additional purchases.

ply be conserved and the waste reduced
to q minimum.
Ways Of Meeting Cost.
THE cost OF the installation Of the
meters, which are essential in the pre-
vention of the waste OF water, may be
raised In three ways. First, on the
half and half plan, divided between the
Federal and District governments, as
are other items Of expense; second, from
the revenues of the District revenues
only. and third. By increasing the water
rates
ITO ask the United States to pay one
half Of the cost of the installation of
meters would be to ask that they pay
for the measurement OF water which
they have donated to the District
To place the cost wholly upon the
revenues of the District would he to
tax the citizens generally, many of
whom have no water supply
1t Is anticipated that the new rates
can be fixed so that meters can he
secured within the next few years with
out increasing the cost of water to most
households. This can be accomplished
by retaining the minimum rate of a 80
a year, reducing however the maximum
consumption permitted at this rate"

JUDSON SHOWS WHY
INCREASED RATE ON
WATER IS NEEDED
Present Waste Will Make
Aqueduct, Costing Mil
lions, Necessary.

Unless provision Is made for the in
stallation os water meters, 1t will b,i
necessary in short time to face the
expenditure of several million dollars
for the construction of another aque-
duct, according to a statement of En-
gineer Commissioner Judson today.
Returning from his vacation in the
Virginia mountains, Commissioner judi
Son Immediately began work on the
preparation of the estimates for the
next fiscal year, taking up for con-
sideration also the proposed increase
in the water rates. From his prece6-
ing investigation, he is convinced that
unless measures are adopted for the
prevention Of the waste of water, anoth-
er aqueduct will be necessary.
Meters In Service.
The solution of the problem, in the
opinion OF Major Judson, is to install
additional water meters, the cost to
DE betrayed by an increase in the
water rates.
1t is in order to provide for the cost
Of new meters and the continued i'm
provement and extension of the water
considering raising the water rates on
July l, 1912.
Major Judson believes that no con-
sumner can fully complain of this, mas
much as he will still secure his water
at less cost than elsewhere, and still
below actual cost.

the aqueduct." said Major Judson to-
day, donates water to the District with
the understanding that the Water De-
partment shall not be run at a profit

BROWNS NECK.

Again We are glad to welcome spring
time although the weather is wintry, it
does not lose its beauty for we are always
glad to trade old winter, with its brown
garb and coverlet Of snow, for the beauti-
iul green verdure of springtime and the

not first early riser, have the pleasure
OF listening to one Of the soDgsters sing
near my window, it's sweet morning song
at the dawning of day. How thankful
we are for the many useful plants, which
God gives us TO sustain life and make US
happy, and for the birds to cheer US on
our way. May we always see the bright
side Of life, though the weather be wintry
and dreary, we should not 20 through
this life in worry. for springtime is the
season to be merry
Our farmers are busy preparing the soil
! for their early crops, in fact some have
planted early potatoes, peas and onions,
others have sOwed oats and Canada peas
for hay. Some of the early birds have
bedded their sweet potatoes, others are
preparing to do the same.
The price Of sweet potatoes in spring
Of 1910, was as low as thirty cents per
hamper, in this vicinity, but during the
past winter many Of our people disposed
of their entire crop, except seed, as early
as January, receiving from forty to sixty
five cents per hamper net. Only few
have held their potatoes until the present
time and those that have are partly maxi
ing good their loss on last years crop, as
they are receiving for them one dollar and
twenty cents per hamper net, or four
times as much as they did one year ago.
This brings a Hice little sum to the farmer,
vino has from four hundred to one thous-
and hampers at this price. Among those
that have car load of potatoes, or more,
are A. NJ. Taylor, F. NJ. Butler and P. T.
Lohand others have few. MIR. Butler
has already delivered one car load at the
present price.
