PLATT's WIDOW is
AVIATION STUDENT.


LOS ANGELES, December 10
Mrs. Lillian Janeway Plat Atwater,
widow of the late Senator Plat, and
bride of w B. Atwater of New York,
now touring Southern California on
her honeymoon announced today that
she will qualify as the first pupil in
the new Curtiss hydro-aeroplane
school at North Island. She has been
a keen and determined student of the
mechanics of aviation since her hus-
band took up aviation at North Island
a few weeks ago.
She does not swim, but says she
will Immediately learn, in order to
provide against the mechanical uncer-
tainties of an amphibious biplane.
She thinks flying over water is safer
than over land, because the falling is
softer.
When the Atwaters complete their
study of the two branches of flying
they will have unique records, this
being the first instance of husband
and wife going into the science 70
gether in different types of machines
The bride expects to be the first
woman to fly an air-water machine.

ADD
FOR HIGHWAYS

TO win federal financial support in
the improvement of the highways of
the country an organization was form
ed at meeting of representatives of
all sections of the United States, held
under the auspices of the Federated
lFraternities, at the Raleigh Hotel to-
day. says the Washington Star of
recent date. The aim of the new or
ganization is to obtain legislation by
Congress at the present session, max
ling specific appropriation for good.
roads-no matter how small an
Iamount-as an entering wedge, just
as an appropriation of only $4,000
made years ago to begin the rural
free delivery of the postal service has
become an annual appropriation of
many millions.
! The organization will ask also that
new federal department be estab-
nshed with a member or the cabinet
at it's head, a department of high
ways, which will have under its direct
supervision not only all the roads in
the country, but also the railways,
both electric and steam.
Explanatory Address.
d. Adna Brown of Phoenixville, Pa,
presided at the opening sessions this
morning. An address explaining in
detail by president of the Federated
Fraternities, taking up the good roads
movement was made by Carl W.
Kimpton of Philadelphia, secretary
treasurer of the organization Mr.
Kimpton declared that a great num-
Der of the members of the fraternities
lived in the country and would be d.
rectly benefited by the improvement
of the roads.
He declared that the Federated
Fraternities represent no less than
Is 100000 men, and that their wishes
should have weight with the national
Legislature.
This is not to be a political organ
ization in any sense of the term" said
Mr.. Kjmpton He said tnat While the
government spends thousands of dol
lars every year on the railways which
carry the mails, not dollar of fed
eral money is expended at present on
the roadways of the country, although
the rural free delivery system of the
postoffice department uses the coun-
try roads constantly.
National Aid Necessary.
Gen. Martin Dodge OF Maryland,
formerly at the head of the division
of public roads of the department of
agriculture, in an address pointed to
the necessity for national assistance
4 in the construction of highways and
t also 10 the great advantages which
4 would accrue from the construction
2 of a splendid system of roads through
1 out the country. He referred to the
2 vast sums of money which are being
= expended by the government in i'm
! proving the inland waterways of the
country, declaring that he believed it
o would be of even greater benefit to
0 the people of the country to improve
.. the roadways, and would aid tremen'
dously to reduce the cost of living.
= The money which it takes to build
one of the great modern battleships
for the navy would suffice to construct
magnificent highway from the At
lantic to the Pacific ocean, General
Dodge said.

Hyades Brings Horses.
The Hyades slipped in this morn
ing from Seattle after a pleasant, if
somewhat dignified, trip of nine days

For here she has little over three
thousand tons of freight, chiefly feed
and flour, and about sixty thousand
feet of lumber There are foTty-seven
horses consigned to Alexander & Bald
win and the Club Stables.
There are about 400 tons for Kahu-
lui, and the balance of the cargo is
for Hilo and Port Allen. For Kahu-
lui there are load of telegraph posts
and about 10000 feet of lumber.
The Hyades will leave for one Of
the other island tomorrow night.
Outwardly the Hyades is the same
old vessel that is so well known here
but inwardly she is new ship. She
has been scraped and gone over thor
oughly inside to so great an extent
that she is really another boat alto

GROWN JEWELS TO BE SOLD.

LISBON, December 1S.-The Portu-
guese government has decided that
the Jewels found in the royal palaces
at Lisbon, Cintra, Nafra and other
places after the fight of King Man
uel and his relatives on October .,
1910, do not belong to the dethroned
monarch, as was at first declared,
but that they are the property of the
republic.
The cabinet has decided to sell the
immense collection of practically
priceless crowns, bracelets, rings,
swords, scimitars and daggers, all Of
which are encrusted with precious
stones. They are mostly relics Of
Portuguese conquests in the past or
tributes from the native rulers of con-
quered territory to Portuguese kings

FOR A LAW ABOVE PARENTAL
Surgeon Advocates Compulsory Opera
lions for Relief of Deformed
Children.

The question OF compulsory opera.
lions upon crippled and defective
children, which was decided by Judge
Sulzberger at Philadelphia as entire
ly matter for the discretion of the
parents. has found a vehement pro-
testant in DR.. E. A. Spitzka. The
brain specialist comes forward with
the statement that these operations
should be made compulsory by legis-
lative enactment. Doctor Spitzka
said:
Parents should not be permitted to
prevent an operation upon a child
when that operation was absolutely
necessary for the child's good. If a
conference Of surgeons finds it is pos
sible to correct some physical de-
formity by an operation, then no pa
rent should be permitted to step In
and prevent that child from having
at least a normal chance to compete
with the rest of mankind.
The good Of the community should
be considered first and laws should
SO be made that the parents must
be forced to hand over the child for
an operation at the hands of COM
petent experts when 1t is deemed nec-
essary 20 have an operation"

FARMER HIS OWN BUTCHER

A contributor says that every farm
sr ought TO make his own meat. At
present. he says. many are buying
meat at from thirty-ive to fifty per
cent. above the cost. The time has
returned, he claims. when 1t will not
only pay every farmer to raise his own
meat, but to cure it for family use and
for sale besides. He goes on:
Five million dollars a year spent
for meat that might have been raised
on the farm. and the money kept at
home. is Kansas record And it is
mistake. 1t shows We are advancing
backward in some things.

our fathers ought TO return. and with
them a full knowledge OF how to cure

notably about Mount Etna, which at
this time begins to scatter the accu-

has conserved during the winter. The

height, and during the winter months
the snow packs into the crevices of
the mountain. to be driven out by the
