WILL BE TRAINED AT PENsA-
COLA AERONAUTIC STATION

Pensacola, July THAT members
of the naval militia of the various
states will be trained for aeronautic
work at the Pensacola naval station
is thestatement made by the navy
department in urging the organiza-
tion of flying branches for all of the
naval militia now maintained by
the various states. The depart
ment is working in conjunction with
the Aero Club of America, the prime
object being to form an auxiliary
organization to be called into the
aeronautic service should they be
needed by the navy. The latter al
so has offered to loan to the naval
militia Of the various states flying
machines owned by the navy, but
suggests first that members of that
branch of the militia be sent to
Pensacola for practical experience
and training. The regular navy fly
ing corps is being rapidly filled to
the maximum and the officers and
men are being trained as fast as pos
sible at the aeronautic school. As
soon as these finish their course the
department wishes to instruct the
volunteers in this service and urges
the securing Of flying machines by
the various states. BY this method
it is expected to have a volunteer
service sufficiently large which.
with the regular navy corps, will
give the United States a very large
number OF experienced aviators
should the country be called upon
to use this branch of the service to
any extent in the future.

VOLUNTEERS ON TRIAL
(By Associated Press. }

London, July 1T was q strange
spectacle that the old hands at the
Woolwich arsenal looked on when
the Volunteer Munitions Brigade
lined up there for its first twelve
hours shift. One young man in old
cricket flannels stepped out of mo-
torcar. Some came bringing their
lunches in leather attache cases
which lawyers and stock brokers
carry private papers in. Notwith-
standing the old clothes dug up from
the bottoms of their wardrobes, the
air of the city, which in the local
phrase means the financial district,
stuck to the volunteers.
The brigade is composed Of all
sorts and conditions of men from
lawyers, engineering men, clerks
and brokers to plumbers, BARRIERS and
others of humble position. The men
were greeted by Sr. H. F. Donaldson,
chief superintendent of the royal or
dance factories, as they went to
work on Sunday morning on their
twelve-hour trial shift.
At present, the volunteers are
making cartridges for service rifles.
A skilled worker acted as instructor.
The absolute novices were given
minor work, such as is usually per-
formed by boys.
A small wage Is paid by the gov
ernment, but as the work is volun-
tary, these wages are handed to the
brigades' funds for war charities.
The trial put the movement on q
practical footing. One noticeable
feature was the comradeship between
the volunteers and the union men.

LEPERs MAY MARRY LEpERs
(By Associated Press. -,

Petrograd, July 1.-The Russian
Medical council has informed the
Holy Synod that there is no objec-
tion to lepers marrying lepers. al
though the union of a leper to a
healthy mate should not be allowed.
This is the councils answer to the
question raised by the Russian
church.
The influence of the parents on
their offspring in the spread of the
disease is considered weak, since the
percentage Of infant leprosy is very
small. only about per cent. Fertil-
ity also decreases among lepers as
the disease advances. Leprosy is not
believed to be hereditary disease,
but one due to contact. For lep-
rous mother to part with her infant
is painful, although necessary II the
child is to be saved. But marriage
brings at least some happiness into
the ira agedy of disease-stricken lives

there will be but a weeks session,
and the most Of the term, IL not all,
will be devoted, to the clearing OF
the docket of criminal cases. None
of the several civil cases will be
tried, 1t is thought.
There are two alleged postoffice

Jail, as we'll as the preacher who
will be heard in his plea in extern

DIABETES IN THE
U. s. IS INCREASING
(By Associated Press. }

Chicago, July Diabetes is on
the increase in the United States,
claiming as its victims particularly
persons of high social and economic
value, according to DR.. Clifford
Mitchell, of Chicago, who addressed
the American Institute Of Homeo-
pathy here today. DR.. Mitchll said:
Diabetes is q disease which is in
creasing steadily in the United
States. MOrtuary statistics avail
able include the deaths registered
up to the year 1914, and from them
we learn that between 1901 and
1905 there were only 3,772 regis
tered deaths from this disease, on
an average for these six years, but
in the year 1918 there were $3.50
deaths. The death rate on the aver
age from 1901 to 1905 was per hun
dred only 11.3, while that for 1913
was 1873.
Moreover, disregarding the NOR
tality, but looking at the disease
from the viewpoint Of durability,
diabetes is certainly more formid-
able than almost any disease with
which we are familiar, inasmuch as
neither drugs, diet, climate nor sur
gical operation can be said to effect
a cure, and the average age of death
from diabetes is between fifty and
fifty-five.
"The number Of persons in the
United States with latent diabetes is
probably larger than we realize.
The existence of concealed diabetic
tendencies in a considerable number
of beings must be recognized. 1t is
time that both press and public
woke up to the fact that diabetes in
the twentieth century has killed
more than ten thousand persons in
the United Safes alone, and that
most of these persons were Of high
social and economic value was re-
sponsible for the statement that IF
you have diabetes, it's cinch you
have brains.
Diabetes is indeed disease Of
the intelligent class, and we can i'll
afford to let it prey upon these peo-
pie so much needed by our nation at
all times.
