NAVY AVIATION PLAN.
Secretary Of Navy Informed That De-
laws Are Dangerous.

The board of officers of which the
lead is Capt. w. /. Chambers, u. S.
NJ, retired, is engaged in the prep
aration,of plan for the development
of aviation in he naval service. Much
complaint has been made concerning
the failure of the Navy Department
to sufficiently encourage aviation.
The experts in the art of mechaui-
cal flight have represented TO the Sc c
rotary of the Navy in recent hear
ing on the subject that a great mis-
take is being made by the delay in
encouraging the practical employment
Of machines. The idea has been that
it would be we'll TO wait until there
were a further development of the
mechanism; but it is stated in reply
to this argument that there is no oc-
casion for postponing the training Of
aviaturs until the machines have
reached a greater degree Of perfec-
ton
sir. Daniels has been informed that
the delay is a LrecarIous one and that
there should be some more definite
and aggressive proceedings in order
hat the Navy may have the advantage
of aviation during the development
of the art without waiting Tor ulti-
mate achievement. The naval board,
which has the subject under consider
alton, will take into account the crit
icism made to the Secretary Of the
Navy and will also be prepared to
present to Congress comprehensive
program of work and estimates fer
material in order that there may be
included in the next naval appropria-
tion bill an item of adequate proper
tiOns for naval aviation.

LYMAN HOWE'S PICTURES.
AT The Colonial Theatre Saturday
Matinee and Night.

Forewarned lis forearmed. Ladies
who contemplate a trip to the Grand
Canyon of Arizona, and who expect
to undertake the adventurous de-
scent into tire depths of the Canyon
should wisely witness Lyman II.
Howe Is reproduction If il at the Co.
lonial Theatre on Saturday matinee
and night, November 8. They will
not only see exactly what the trip I'm
plies, bat also what it involves.
For one thing, they will note that
no woman attempts to make the trip
unless she first dons a divided skirt,
In fact, this special skirt is impera-
tive as anyone will admit after see
ing Howe's reproduction. The trail
at the outset seems utterly impos-
sible of decent. After traversing
the first downward mile, the grades
setm to become more and more
frighiful.
As so few accidents occur here n ust
be ascribed to the fact that the much
ridiculed mules really know much bet
ter how to scramble over or cling to
the walls of perpe ndiculsr rocks than
human beings do. They may slip
and slide, stumble and jolt, deeper
and ever deeper into the chssm, yet
they are so suretooted and manifest
such sound discre tion that there really
is not so much cause for fear as The
conditions seem TO warrant.
Thrilling iescues of survivors from
an ocean gre yhound during terrible
gale; contlaerstion of several hun.
dred thousand barrels of oil; an aero
plane ride over Paris; the wondrous
forms of marine life; study in
palmistry; yachting scenes off Monte
Carlo, and motorride through the
French Alps are some Of the other
big features TO be presented.
