blotter at police headquarters opposite

find him.

railway securities issues was laid be-
fore the Senate interstate commerce
committee yesterday by Louis D. Bran

House bill: Chairman Lovett of the
Union Pacific. President Willard of the

quire additional property, incur obli-
cations or expenditures where it was
reasonably necessary in order 10 de-
velop property lawfully acquired, and

NAVY SCHOOL TO TEACH
NAVIGATION OF THE AIR
instruction by Experts Planned for
Pilots and Mechanicians at
Pensacola, Fla.

The science of aerial navigation in
the future air navy of the United
States will be taught in the Navy's
Flying School. which has been organ
lied at Pensacola. Fla. Naval aeronau-
tical experts believe Pensacola has
many advantages as a site for the new
school, For the present canvas han
gars are housing the machines, and the
shops and buildings of the naval sta
ton are being adapted to the other
needs of this branch of the service.
For Pilots and Mechanicians.
A course of instruction for air pilots
and one for mechanicians has been ap-
proved by Secretary Daniels, and a
be detailed to take the courses pre-
paratory to the AIR service of the
sea" A post graduate course will be
provided for promising students. who
may be sent abroad or to technical
schools in this country.
The regular course for the present.
said Secretary Daniels today, lis laid
out for one year. until further expert
ence may change this period. From
among the students each year the Of
on duty at the school as instructors.
In order to graduate from the school
and be eligible for a postgraduate
course or to be selected as an in
structor each student must have quail
fed for and received a navy air pilot s
certificate.
Graduates to Have Regular Service.
When officers graduate from the
school they will go into regular service
in the air craft that will then be in
commission and serving with the fleet
The air craft will take their place in
that branch of the fleet that provides
for its security and information by
protecting the fighting battleships from
the air craft. submarines and mines of
the enemy and scouting for informa-
ton of the location and strength of the
enemys fighting fleet. They very
probably will form a part of the night
ing element by attacking other all
craft and dropping bombs on sub
marines torpedo craft and the enemy
battleships."

the boys discovered the pigs would eat
most of the weeds. so the compost had
to be abandoned.
The pigs are growing fast. and have
prodigious appetites. but l don't be-
lieve, pound for pound. they are In
the same class with growing chickens.
The pesky things are hungry all the
time, and I can't go out in the orchard
where their houses are located without
having a flock of them following me
around clamoring for food. But there
is a lot of satisfaction in the growth
they are making. I'd like to have fried
chicken about every day, but Jane. who
is boss of the poultry branch of our
farming industry. refuses to sanction
any such program. She keeps ledger
account of every cent paid out for feed,
and has made up her mind to sell
enough cockerels to pay the feed bills.
There is no reason. she contends, why
we should eat dollars worth of chickens
three or four times week simply be-
cause we happen to be raising the chick
ems instead of buying them in market. Fry
ing chickens. she argues. are about
the most costly meat to be had. and
those we have are convertible into cash
at any time. With the money from
the sale of chickens. even when she has
to sell to hucksters who skimp the
weight and shave the price. she can get
more food value, she insists. in beef or
mutton.

Goes Against the Grain.

AS the original. and I suppose still
the main. purpose of our adventure into
the country was to reduce the high
cost of living. no doubt Jane is right;
but it sort of goes against the grain
to sell Off something which in the past
we had enjoyed only as an occasional
treat in order to buy the sort of food
we had grown tired of in town.
Nor is chicken the only thing Of
which we are to be deprived Jane has
applied the same inexorable logic to her
turkeys. There are alive Today thirteen
of the twenty which were Matched. and
as the age of high turkey mortality
has passed. she ought to raise about
all Of them, But we are not to gorge
ourselves. There is to be turkey at
Thanksgiving and again at Christmas.
That's all. The hens md one gobbler
are to be retained as foundation stock
and the other gobblers sold. Sort Of
takes some of the romance out of
country life. But this is a business I'M
dertaking, and Jane is developing q

Going to School to Boy.

It's amazing what lot that boy knows
about gardening. l thought | had about
mastered the theory of it, but I'm YER
liable tyro alongside of Will. He works
with less lost motion than any person !
ever knew, and already l have learned
that when he does a thing there is some
good reason for it. So far as the garden
is concerned, Will is my general superin-
tendent and ! don't mind saying that ]
am glad to take lessons from him. He is
very modest and apologize when he
points out mistakes / have made. At first
was little inclined to resent the notion
that a fourteen-year-o boy should tell
me how to do things. but I soon got over
that. The book farmer" has a hard
time when he goes up against the knowl-
edge that comes from experience, but
there's small chance for him to succeed
unless he is willing to mix little every
day horse-sense along with the lore the
experts teach. VIII has been tutored by
some of the best farmers out this way,
men who have made comfortable fortunes
from filling the soil. and l would be woe
fully lacking in acumen if / wasn't will
ing to learn from him. ] think I'd get
the worth of his board and wages if Will
didn't do a lick of work himself.
There is still another way in which Will
is more than paying for his keep" It's
the effect his presence is having on Jim
and Ned, my own sons. He sets them an
example of industry and intelligent appli-
cation to work that is doing them more
good than all the paternal lectures it
would be possible for me to deliver. The
boys are ashamed to shirk or slight their
tasks when VIII goes ahead with his work
in such thorough and businesslike man.
