COINS FOR THE POOR.
Salvation Army's Efforts to Keep
the Pots Boiling"

Two Salvation Army Christmas pots
have begun to boil. One of them is locat-
ed at 18th and F streets northwest, and
the other at eth and D streets northwest.
The pots started to simmer yesterday,
when Christmas shoppers recognized
these annual features of the season and
began to drop in coins. Today they are
being contributed to in more generous
measure, and from now until Christmas
eve they will serve as mute reminders
Of the needs OF the poor.

As Military Auxiliary.

1T is accepted that the aeroplane as it
stands today, even If no marked improve
ments were made in it, is an essential
military auxiliary, and up to this time it
appears that the military and naval serv-
ices are the only ones in which 1t is of
special value. 1t would. therefore, seem
that the securing OF approximately 100
aviato-s and 100 machines and the es-
Establishment OF aviation centers would not
be an unreasonable provision for this
government TO make. With this number
provided fer the regular service the art
could be extended to the officers OF the
National Guard, on whom the government
is to defend for the large number OF
aviators that would be required in case
of an extended war
The appropriation granted by Congress
for the support of army aeronautics
seems nigga rt!ly when compared with the
French aeronautical budget of $685.. go
for 1913. The act of Congress appropriat-
ed 100000 for 1.-The purchase. mainte-
nance. operation and repair Of airships
and other aerial machines.
The French government is now plan
ming to organize an aviation regiment Of
1000 aeroplanes. At this time about
1900 pilots have been licensed in France
including officers and civilians. In the
United States It's have been so licensed.

NEED ARMY OFFICERS
As EXPERT AV|ATORS
Gen. Allen, in Report, Favors
Government Establishing
Aviation CenterS.

The necessity Of securing army officers
as expert military aviators is emphasized
in the annual report of Brig. Gen. James
Allen, chief signal officer of the army.
Gen. Allen says the number of expert
civilian aviatOrs now available in the
United States is not large enough to pro-
vide an adequate auxiliary and he does
not believe that any marked advance will
be made in the manufacture of aeropIanes
in this country unless the manufacturers
receive support from the government.
Manufacturers all believe says Gen.
Allen, that the construction Of aero
planes for exhibition work is practically
at an end and the number SO far pur-
chased for purposes of amusement has
not at all reached the figure that was ex-
pected. In case of emergency it does
not seem probable that any considerable
quantity OF properly constructed machines
adapted to tha military service could be
purchased abroad within a reasonable
time

MOTORS ON ALL HAND CARS.
Katy viii Rebuild An Old Hand Pow
er Flour-WheelerS

Austin, Tex. Oct. 23.-The Missouri,
Kansas and Texas is equipping many
of its handcars with gasoline motors.
It is planned to install these motors
upon all of the handcars that are in
use upon the system. The first division
10 De equipped with the motor handcars
is that between Denison and Fort
Worth. It is stated that 1t is a com
paratively easy matter to rebuild the
old type of handcars and install the mo-
tor. Preparatory to undermining this
feature of til traffic department of the
system a series of experiments were
made, which proved the superiority of
the motor handcars over the old style
of propulsion. It is claimed that the
saving in time in going from one place
to another on the sections and the con-
serving of the strength of the section
hands will more than pay for the ad-
ditional cost of maintaining the motor
handcars
