RED LETTER DAY
IN AVIATION
NEW DEVICE FOR LAUNCHING
AEROPLANE FROM WAR YES
Sells TRIED WITH SUCCESS.

Washington, Nov. 13-What nava
aviation experts declare will make
this a red-letter day in the history
of aviation was the successful tes
here today of q catapult device fol
launching aeroplanes from battle
ships. The scheme, the invention
Of Capt Washington |. Chambers, in
charge of the navy aviation work
involves the shooting the aeroplane
along steel plank by means OF
compressed air. On the plank, which
is level and 30 feeC long, the aero
plane sits on top of a car which
drops from under when the end Of
the plank is reached
Lieut.. T. G. Ellyson, navy aviator,
had attained speed Of 40 miles
an hour today when his hydro-aero-
plane had gone the 20 feet along the
plank, He started his engine just
a fraction of a second before the
compressed air was turned on. The
machine had started to rise before it
left the plank. 1t was in a dead
calm that the test was made.
Almost two years ago Eugene Ely
isince killed in a machine) maze
the first flight ever attempted from
the deck OF a vessel, rising from
a sleeping deck constructed on the
cruiser Birmingham Compared with
todays test the method OF two years
ago was crude.
1t is proposed to construct launch
ing devices similar to that success
fully tried today on top of the tur-
rets Of the battleships and one prob
ably at each end of the vessels so
that an aeroplaro can he started off
in anv direction. Todhy's test was
witnessed by a numter of army and
navy aviators.

1t is always refreshing TO receive
the "high-b brow" reports of science,
when they agree with that form OF
popular knowledge known as com
mon sense" These remarks are per-
tinent to a clipping from Bradstreets
as follows:
Coffee is national beverage,
without which some Americans
would hardly feel at ease. Yet
there are many who think that cof-
fee drinking is a bad habit-one
that is easily acquired and hard to re-
nounce. 1t has been held that the
active principle of coffee, caffeine,
eXerts a baneful effect on the hu-
man system. But recently medical
men OF standing have been at pains
to learn from the results of practical
experiment whether it is true that
coffee possesses poisonous quail
ties. Columbia. university has done
much work in this direction, and
report published by that institution
indicates that coffee, if used in mod.
GRAFTON, is mot only safe, but bene-
ficial, and increases capacity for Ia
Dor without any after-effect of de-
preston and lassitude." The amount
to be consumed is an individual mat
ter. In some cases a cup a Cay is IN
dicated. In other cases it may be
taken as freely as water without no.
ticeable interference with the regu.
lar bodily functions. Yet there are
people to whom it seems to be an
active poison Eacn person must de.

society again soured on humanity,

treatment they had received, and
not knowing how TO do anything use
full In fact, the greatest drawback
among the poorer classes in this
country is, that they do not know
how TO do the commonest labor eff

these men can be transformed from

There are several gangs of convicts
there now who are sent outside the
walls to work each day, and are not
accompanied by a single guard. Yet,
they do good work and come back at
night to be locked up in thier iron

grated cells. OF course, the officials
are very careful in selecting such
gangs, and can not trust all OF them
in that way. Everything is done in
the best possible way, and every
prisoner learns TO do things just
right. This of itself is a great point
gained ~

One is, that the prisoners should
be put to manufacturing things that
the country needs. After the neces-
sary expenses of the prison are
paid from the proceeds, then divide
up the surplus among the prison
ers.

until his term expires. This will
prevent him being an outcast when
he leaves the prison, and take away
a strong temptation to commit crime
again. The twelve or fifteen hundred
prisoners would not be in competi-
tion enough to hurt the hundreds of
thousands of free laborers in the
state, and especially while We have
no free factories for them to work in
1t seems to me the idea is a good
one.
In fact, it would do our people d
great service, if they would all
study these conditions. Fortunately,
the cause of prison reform in Okla
homa, is not left to well disposed
ladies and benevolent societies, but
our officials who have charge of the
matter are leading in the good work.
1t is a big question, and well worthy
the deepest concern of our wsest
and best people.

MONEY MAKING A TRADE.
But Money Saving Is an Art-An Op-
portunity to Learn This Art.

An exchange very tersely says that
money making is a business; money
saving is an art. 1T matters not
how much money you maze" writes
the editor, Its the money you save
that counts in the long run. If you
have not begun yet now is the time"
Had the above been written ex-
pressly for Ardmore it could not have
been more in point. Almost any
one can make money. Money max
ing is not only business, as the
writer above quoted says, it is an
occupation. Labor, skilled and un-
skilled, can go into the fields of daily
ayocations and turn out dollars and
cents, but TO save them is truly an
art.
A safe, sound and paying invest
ment for the fruits of our daily toll
is the most accredited means of ac-
Quiring the art of saving. Saving ir
itself does not mean the niggardly
cutting down Of the expenses Of
every day life to degree OF miserli.
ness. One can enjoy the good things
OF life and at the same time save
by putting his odd change. the over
plus of his weekly wage into some
legitimate business concern whose
methods of doing business Is open
and subject to inspection. The Peo-
pies Building and Loan Association
Of Ardmore is just such business
institution. Its methods are method
ical and open; 1t is under the in
spection of the state banking depart
ment; it affords an opportunity for
investment for the small investor as
well as for the man with greater cap
ital Money placed in this institution
works for you. While you make or
sleep, in fair weather or storm your
dollars, II placed with this concern,
will continue to earn other dollars
for you. For full particulars Of the
methods OF the company, together
with an explanation of their absolute

TWENTY YEAR ENDOWMENT.
In the Peoples Building and Loan
Association.

A 2O-year endowment policy taken
out at the age of 90 or 30 gears
costs the investor between s45 and
$50 per year. At the end of 20 years
he draws down $1,000 in cash No
more than he has paid in. 1t has
been simply a savings bank for him
and one which has paid no interest
on his deposits.
At any age one can begin paving

Loan Association, and at the expira.
tion of from 20 to % years draw
down $500 There is no question
about this being a fact any more
than there is question of the en-
dowment policy being a fact. The
life insurance companies and the
Building and Loan companies are
both old line institutions, and have
both proven themselves, by their
growth as the greatest financial in
stitutions in the world today.
A number of years ago the life
insurance companies got in bad and
laws were enacted regulating them.
The same can be said of building and
loan associations. They were both
in the same boat, and both are gov
erned by and restricted by laws to-
day which render each of them
safe investment. The difference IS
that the insurance affords you
safe deposit place for your earniaes
without paying you interest thereon
and the Building and Loan Associa-
ton pays you the top rate of inter
est and is an investment of the strict
est safety. The banking oeparme,:
regulates all building and loan as
sociations which is in itself a guar
antee of the solidity OF the invest
ment. We have such an institution
here. For full information see

WEATHER STATIONS
WILL BE ESTABLISHED

Prof. w. II. Lawrence, the local fruit
expert, formerly in the employ of the
Fellowship Association and who Will
continue the experimental work under
the county supervision, announced
Monday afternoon that news had been
received from +. A. Beals, of Port
land, superintendent of this district of
the United States Bureau stating that
Hood River county would receive about
the first of March five or six new OBJ
servation stations. Prof. Lawrence,
who has used every etfiffort to secure
the establishment of such stations, is
eated over the news: for with the ad-
itonal observations he will be enabled
to compile a frost map of the valley
and thus determine those localities
that have cold pockets, where orchard
heaters mag be needed to protect fruit
in the months of April and May.
The observers at the different sta
tions will take the daily minimum and
maximum temperatures, rainfall,
snow, number of clear, partly cloudy
and cloudy days and the prevailing
direction of the wind each day. The
observers of the two stations already
established here are: H. l.. Has
brouck, of the Lower Valley and Sid
ney G. Babson, of the Upper Val0ley.
