governor walking about hatless.

AER0S INDISPENSABLE.
IN ARMY OPERATIONS
Officers Finally Recognize UtiI.
ity of Flying Craft in
Field Work.

Aeroplanes have been accepted by the
army authorities as indispensable to the
conduct of modern field operations. This
is the gist of a report made by Gen
Tasker III. Bliss to the War Department
OF the flying squad in the maneuvers
around New York.
The members OF the flying squad all re-
turned to Washington yesterday and the
report of the general directing the ma
neuvers followed quickly and was con-
siderable source of satisfaction to the
aviators. They had known what they
could do. but the higher officers OF the
army did not realize it. The report is a
full confession of faith.
The army flying squad is small and was
inadequately equipped with machines
compared with the aerial squadrons that
always participate in European ma
Mowers.
Utility Is Realized.
The commanding officers of the ma
neuver forces were not at first inclined to
pay much attention to the aviators and
their capabilities. This was due chiefly
TO ignorance of what a flying machine
i L
not long before they realized the utility
and capability of the machine and now
they are enthusiastic converts
The army aviators had a great deal of
engine trouble. There practically was but
one machine. an old one flown by Lieut..
Foulois. that could keep the air for any
length OF time. He could go up for an
hour or more at almost any time, and, as
his machine was equipped with wireless,
he was Invaluable. Most of the other
machines could not carry passengers at
all and frequently could not get off the
ground. This showing made 1t all the
more apparent that there is need for
radical Improvement in American-built
the machines.
Flying at College Park.
Now that the aviators have returned to
Washington. flying will be resumed at
College Park. There are several machines
that will have TO be tried out. There is a
racing Wright and a racing Curtiss and
several weight-carrying machines, in
Guiding both types, that will have to be
tried out before they are accepted by
the government.
1t has been announced by the Wright
company that IL would send professional
aviator to demonstrate its machine, but
the name of the man has not yet been
announced. All Of the new machines
must be demonstrated by the represent
alive OF the company furnishing them
before they will be accepted. and army
officers will not be allowed to act either
as demonstrators or passengers.
This Is an order just issued by the War
Department as a result of the death of
Lieut.. Hazelhurst while flying as a pas
senger in one of the machines that were
being demonstrated for the department.

The Toymaker's Dream.

"Why is the "Toymaker's Dream"
like sunlight" asked a delighted
auditor of his comanpion short time
ago. Then, without waiting for a
reply, he himself gave the answer,
"because it has something good for
everybody" And nothing that could
be said of this sterling musical comedy
and comic opera would fit it better.
The boy and the girl, lovers in teens
and out of teens. married and unmar-
ried, sexagenerian and octo-generian,
all can find the keenest delight in this
mirthful, snappy, rollicking splash of
sunshine. How the boys and girls,
young and old, gay and grave, will
laugh at the comical situations, and
how the heartbeats of all will be
hushed at the singing of the exquisite
songs interviewer in the pretty plot.
But just wait until Wednesday, Jan.
10, when each one will have an op-
portunity to satisfy himself or herself
by securing seat in the Armory.

over plan after plan for the disposal

depressed the following morning. In
the afternoon he went to the large fur

make deposit of $40 on the furni-

Several weeks had passed and the
young man had become engrossed in
his invention; dollar after dollar had
been withdrawn from the bank until
the evening before he had faced a
balanced bank account and gone

CALF FEEDING.
Construction Of Rack VIII
Greatly Lessen a Most Disa-
greeabIe Task. .... ~.

~ =" =" - =" y y =" r y y y y =" y y y
One Of the disagreeable jobs on the
farm, and one that is likely to be
sighted because it is disagreeable, is
feeding the calves. Every farmer boy
remembers the tussles he has had in
teaching calves to drink, and in keep
ing other calves from splitting the milk
while he was feeding one.
This task may be greatly lessened
by making calf rack, in which the
pail can be set, and the calf kept in
position by a stanchion. The calf
cannot spill his wilk, neither can he
bother any of the other calves. By
making the rack long enough to pro-
vide room for all of the calves kept,
one can feed dozen or more almost
as quickly as he could feed one by
the old method of holding the pail
over the fence.
The accompanying cut will illus
trate the plan of the rack sufficiently
to enable any boy, at all handy, to
make one.
One would almost be justified in
making such a rack on Sunday morn
ing, because of the effect it would
have on his disposition.
