and other diseases communicated by a

Again he perused:
Therefore kissing should be avoid

older machines will be reserved for
training. s4. E
The army has decided on the design
and obtained one specimen Of the mill
tary aviators badge. It is considered
the handsomest thing In the way of q
badge that the government has ever,
assigned. 1t has plain gold bar with
the words Military Aviator in black
enamel. Beneath the bar there hangs
an eagle with extended wings carrying
In his claws crossed signal flags in
gold and platinum.
Several of the students officers in
the Philippines are just ready to try
for their military pilots license. They
are Lieutenants Chapman of the
Seventh cavalry, Rich of the Philip
pine scouts and Dargue Of the coast
artillery. They have all been trained
as aviators under Lieutenant Frank
Lahm, who was the first of the army
officers to be trained by Wilbur Wright
at College Park. Lieutenant Lahm
has not been flying continuously, but
he is in point Of service the oldest
military aviator in the world.
Another of the student aviators who
are about to take their military test is
Lieutenant e. L. Ellington at San
Diego.
According to present arrangements.
when the officers have qualified as
military aviators they will be retained
at their posts to act as instructors to
other student aviators detailed to the
service. Some Of the older men prob
ably will be sent this fall to the main.

Considerable interest has been arous-
ed not only among the aviators. but
throughout the army. by the issue Of
the new army signal book by the
signal corps. This contains the Amer
lean Morse and the international
Morse, the flag, lantern, Ardois lights
and all the other systems of signaling
used in the army. It is the essential
manual Of army signaling. The revised
edition has been complied by General
Scriven, the chief signal officer OF the
army. One of the interesting features
Of the rush for the little book is the
general desire Of the boy scouts for
copies The scouts all over the coun-
try seem to be going in for signaling.
Judging by the mass Of applications
they have filed for the book.
After the house committee on mill
tary affairs had thoroughly discussed
the aviation problem last week it was
practically decided to make no change
In the present arrangement In the
army. but to leave the aviation work
under the signal corps, where It has
heretofore been.
