OAKLAND

Oakland, Dec. 5.-Farmers have
about finished harvesting the 1916
crop, and some have already begun
their deep fall ploughing preparatory
for another crop. 1t is going to re-
quire more work to prepare the land
Tor another crop than for many years
past because the heavy rains of last
July played havoc with terraces and
hillsides and if these damages is not
attended to during the winter months
it will be impossible to produce crop
on such land.

Niaht Scenes In Yokohams,

In most oriental countries sunset
brings quiet to the streets and there Is
little night life. But on Theater street,
Yokohama, IL o'clock at night sees the
great crowds leaving the movies, which
are close together, and the resulting
scene is one never to be forgotten.
Humanity packed too close for COM
fort surgeS in an unbroken tide from
one end of the street to the other. Add
to this mass of many hued forms the
taking down of the highly colored ban
ners and you have a scone that makes
the dropping Of the big top at home
look like side show.
Sometimes the lights on the water
produce an effect almost Venetian in
charm, but the bulky canal boat lacks
the artistic lines Of the gondola, and
the water sends forth a scent which
might be called by a palmer name.
The newspaper boy rushes through the
narrow streets hurting the sheets to
right and left as he runs and ringing
the bells at his waist to announce his

with HUNDREDS more at once.
Each pupil receives not only free
tuition for a period Of two or three
weeks, but is paid 30 cents a day for
her time. After they have qualified
the average earnings run to about SO
a week.
There is no abnormal sickness
among the girls. They like the work
and benefit in physique and complexion
by the open air life. They are all IN.
der the care of a lady doctor.
"Since March we have interviewed
10000 applicants and are very careful
in our selection. Among our ranks a.
most every class is represented. Quite
10 per cent of the girls have never
worked before and take up the WORK
from purely patriotic motives. There
is not the slightest reason TO suppose
that they will be unable to stand the
work during the winter, and star
work is not so trying as the publk
imagines."

no record was available>to show that
his father had become naturalized.

PLAN TO STRENGTHEN
ARMY FLYING SERVICE
sourse of Instruction For Field Officers
at San Diego.

New York.-Plans have been practi,
cally completed for the establishment
of additional army aviation stations
and schools. Stations and schools have
already been instituted at Mineola,
N. Y; Chicago, San Diego, Cal; New
port News, San Antonio, Miami, Fla,
and Columbus, n. NJ. 1t is expected
that stations will soon be established
at Philadelphia and Memphis.
A corps of instructors will be main
tanned at each station, and classes for
national guard officers and reserve avi-
ators will be held. 1t is planned to
cover the entire country with stations
and schools, and it is believed that they
will serve to develop an efficient corps
of active and reserve aviators.
One of the latest features inaugu-
rated by the aviation section of the sig
nal corps is a course of instruction for
field officers. 1t will be conducted at
San Diego. Several officers have al
ready been detailed to take the course
offered there.
The signal corps has now purchased
or let the contracts for $50 machines.
ninety of which are water machines.
About $7.006O00 will be required to
purchase all the material which has
been contracted for by the corps.

but will be in complete charge Of all
the arrangements. / estimate the TRIP
will take thirty hours flying time.
"This new machine will carry ten
hours fuel supply, will be capable Of a
sustained speed of more than 100 miles
an hour and will be practical for the
business man who must make hurried
trip to Chicago or elsewhere and
doesn't find it convenient to wait for
q train"
Miss Law, who established an Ameri.
can cross country record of 500 miles
by the recent trip from Chicago to New
York, left for Buffalo to supervise the
construction Of the machine. The first
tryout will be given within a month,
and the transcontinental journey will
follow soon afterward.
The avatrix believes that reliability
and safety are more important factors
in popularizing air travel than speed
Consequently she will attempt to see
that these elements are contained in the
new flier. 1t will carry two passen-
gers, but Miss Law will be the sole &C.
cupant on the coast to coast trip.
The plucky bird woman's last spectac-
ular appearance was when she flew

ular subscriptions was dedicated. She

Cabin Window.
New York.-Captain Frank MCGEE of
the barge Frank Becker Of Kingston,
N. Y, was found dead from exposure
on his barge, which was made fast at

The body was found halfway through

the barge.
When Thomas Henry, the night

saw the legs and feet of man hanging
from the cabin window of the Frank
Becker and found the body was cold.

BLOW UP POLICE STATION.
Boston Harbor Squad Escapes Injury.
Neighbors Shaken Up.


Boston.-The station Of the harbor
police in the north end district was
partly wrecked by an explosion Of dy-
Mantle that had been placed against
the outside wall apparently with intent
to destroy the building.
Four policemen were inside, three Of
them asleep in the dormitory. just
above the place where the explosion
tore hole in the wall, but all escaped
harm. Residents Of the populous tene-
ments along Commercial and Saluta-
ton streets, near by, were scared as
their houses were shaken, plaster was
cracked and broken glass fell about
them.
The police said that the explosion
was intended probably as an act of re-
taliation because some unlicensed
meetings led by industrial agitators
had been broken up recently by Off
GERS. Several suspected persons were
questioned, but no arrests were made.
The residents of the district are largely
foreigners.

SHARK GOT HALF HIS CATCH.
Sudden End of Fisherman's Great Ex-
pectations.

Honolulu.-What promised to be one
Of the biggest ulua catches of the sea-
son for Tax Collector Charles T. Wild
er was spoiled when big shark took
half Of the fish's body as Wilder was
pulling it In with his reel.
Wilder was having a fine tussle with
what seemed mighty game fish. His
line sagged, and he felt only a slow
moving weight at the end Of it. When
he lifted from the water he found only
half a fish-the head and fore portion
of the body. The tail and hind part
were entirely gone. Scratches on the
side of the fish showed that the shark
had made two grabs, the second being
successful. This seems to put an end
to the theory that shark cannot bite
under water or upright, for nothing
else could have bitten off that tail.

Fifth Avenue Hardly Notices the
Transfer of Wealth.

New York.-Many millions in cash
securities were transferred across Fifth
avenue when the Fifth avenue Office Of
the Guaranty Trust company of New
York was moved from the southwest to
the southeast corner of that thorough
fare and Forty-third street. The de-
posits alone Of this Office total nearly
$40,OOO,O00. How much was in the
$500 safe deposit boxes is beyond con-
lecture. The work Of removal was
guarded by special officers belonging to
the bank and by squads of city police
men and detectives.
The task began at the close Of bust
ness with the cutting away of the steel
bars on the Forty-third street side Of
the trust company's old quarters and
continued several hours. Traffic on
Fifth avenue was not interrupted, and
the transfer Of all this wealth was
practically unnodced by the passersby.

ONLY WHITE HORSES ARE

Dark Animals Used For Army.
F0ur-fifthS of TaXiS In
Berlin Electrified.

Berlin.-AlmOst all the horses you see
working in the towns and fields i'm
Germany are white or flea bitten gray.
All the other cOlors are used for army
work. The whites are not, their color
being too conspicuous. But the demand
for horses has been 50 great that even
the whites are used when they are
young, being painted dark. The horses
left for civilian purposes are the Old
ones. Most of those you find attached
to the ancient drOShkieS on Inter den
Linden IOOk as if they were cousins to
the eOhippuS that Noah took with him
into the ark.
The age of the drivers corresponds to
the antiquity of their steeds. Most Of
them are graybeards, but by way of
paradox their girths are as great as
those of their horses are small.
Four-ffths of the taxis are electri-
fed, which enables them to proceed at
stretches. The few internal combus-
ton motors left use benzol in place of
gasoline, which is sharply restricted to
official need-military, Industrial and
those Of the high personages.
In spite of the leather shortage, the
German soldier still clings to his boots.
The bulk Of the German soldiery is re-
cruited from the agricultural class.
