School for AviatOrs

of six weeks at the manufacturing
plant of an aeroplane concern, after
which the actual instruction in flying
begins at the Pensacola Aeronautic
station.
Uncle Sam pays his flyers well.
The moment they begin their practice
work at the station, the officers re-
ceive pay increase of 35 per cent.
The men have fifty per cent of their
salary added on at the same time. The
work is hard and dangerous and the
slightest physical defect will bar a
man from the service
There is also another pay increase
for officers AS soon as they have
qualified under the service tests. they
receive an air pilots license and their
pay is increased 80 per cent.
The navy now has four aeroplanes
at the Pensacola aviation school for
the training of officers and men. Two
more machines have been ordered and
within short time three more viii
be ordered. bringing the total quota
up to nine machines. The motto of
the aviation service is safety first and

CALL FOR
DONATIONS

With the biting breezes Of winter
fast feceding in the distance and
balmly spring reigning supreme, you
wouldn't suppose that the United
Charities would be swamped with calls
for clothing but, nevertheless, it is a
fact. "Our calls for clothing were
never before so great" said Mrs.
Coryell, field worker of the society.
"There are many people who are earn
ing barely enough to buy food and they
have no money at all for clothing.
They are calling upon us every day
and we are unable to meet the de-
mand."
On account of this situation, the
board of directors Of the society de.
cided to call for donations and have
designated Tuesday, April 20, as
"Csothing Day" On that day commit
tees Of ladies will visit all sections Of
the city and will collect articles Of
wearing apparel that may be contri
buted. If you will make bundle Of
the things you wish to donate, mark
it Charity and leave it on the front
porch or near the door, they will pick
up the package without troubling you.
1t will be an accommodation to the
ladies if those who desire TO make do
nations will phone Mrs. CoryeIl, Nos.
449 and 421.
All kinds of clothing are needed, but
the special demand is for garments
for children, both boys and girls. The
society hopes that the people of the
city will make generous response to
this call.

Washington, April 15.-Across the
sea they're waging a war but it's
mostly an overhead and underground
war.
No branch of the various foreign
military services has come into great
er prominence than their aeronautics
and in an effort to meet this advance,
the American navy has organized a
naval flying school at Pensacola,
Fla, which will set the pace for Uncle
Sans flying men.
This class of flyers will soon begin
work. 1t will be composed of ten off
GERS and twenty enlisted men. They
are men best qualified, physically and
mentally for the aviation work. AT
Pensacola there are eight student avia-
tors of the class of officers that was
formed last year.
A large number of applications from
officers and men of the navy and ma

AUTOMOBILE GREAT AID
TO T|LLER OF THE SOIL
American Farmer Recipient of Many
Benefits From Introduction of
Motor Vehicles.

1.-The farmer has heretofore been
prone to look upon the automobile
owner as a natural enemy or intruder >
says Alfred O. Dunk, prominently iden-
| titled in the automobile industry in De-
! troit, in speaking of the need of CO.
operation between the automobile own
er and farmer on the good roads ques-
tion.
Recently this attitude of mind has
undergone a radical change The farm
er has, of necessity, become a car own
err himself. He has come to apprecia te
the usefulness of the automobile itself
1t serves as the connecting link be-
tween farm and city, besides proving a
most valuable medium of transporta-
tion of farm products to the city and
exchange for so-called city luxuries.
Social Feature Prominent.
The social feature, too. cannot be
lightly ignored. The modern farmer
can, after a hard day in the field, take
his entire family out in the open and
secure that much-needed relaxation for
himself and all. The social bond be-
tween neiehboripg farmers is also
made stronger on account of quicker
travel to and from. The unity of the
home Is also preserved. With the COM
ing of the automobile into the farm
er's home has also come a decrease in
the number of young people quitting
the farm for the city.
Greatest of all boons, though, con-
ferred on the farmer by the automobile
has been the marked improvement in
roads in all parts of the country. caused
by enactment of laws and appropria-
tions for better roads in every state in
the Union. Picture, if you will, the
farmer of a few years back, struggling e
valiantly in bad. muddy road with six
horses hauling small load of produce,
and today being able to traverse this
same road with an auto without any
effort.
Additional Benefit.
