WANTS AVIATION RECRUITS.
Army Will Strengthen That Branch
Of the Service.


Washington, Sept. 3.-Scarcity OF
army officers volunteering for the
aviation corps has called out an appeal
from lirigddicr General George l..
Scrivon, chief signal officer.
The announcement yesterday that
France wa sabout To recruit its aerial
squadron on an unusually extensive
scale gave an added impetus To the de-
Cision to strengthen the United States
army forces in this direction. AT
present there are 10 vacancies in the
squad with no recruits in sight
General Scriven says frankly in his
appeal that while married men are not
barred from this branch of the scrv-
ice, bachelors not over 30 years of age
are preferred. AS an added induce
ment why youthful bachelor officers
should seek entrance 10 the air serv-
ice, the head of the signal service de-
clarcs,
THE military aviator will receive
q handsome certificate signed by the
secretary of war and the chief signal
officer, and under existing regulations
wears Il badge indicating that he is \
military aviator"
However, aspirants for the hand
some certificate" and he badge" are
informed they must have excellent
cycsight good hearing, quickness of
action and presence of mind"
With these requisites. there is no
telling how high the aviator may rise
in either the service or the air.

An entirely new treatment of the

In making a study of grazing lands
on the national forests, 125 entirely
new species Of plants have been dis
covered by the governments experts,
and will be named and classified by
the botanists of the department of ag-
riculture.
Their discovery came about through
the collection of some 5000 different
plant specimens, with notes as to their
habits of growth and forage value.
This work is part of comprehensive
plan to determine the grazing value OF
every acre of national forest land, in
which the capacity Of the soil to grow
certain forage crops is to be determ'
ined and an effort made to decide for
which class of stock-sheep, cattle OF
goats-the range is best suited.
The men who have made the studies
have combined the qualities of prac
teal stockmen and trained botanists
