The Heroes Of
the Atmosphere
The First Aero Squadron al U. S.
Army Base. Some Exciting
Experiences.
BY JEAN CABELL o'NElLL

BY JEAN CABEl.l q NELL
1t Is not possible to complete
the series Of articles showing
the brilliant work OF the army at
Columbus, New Mexico which
the Courier has presented for
the past month without tribute
to the First Aero Squadron, for
heroic in a large measure is the
work of this picturesque branch
of the O. :. Signal Corps.
The growth Of the aviation
field has been open to the eyes of
ALI. and needs no exploitation.
Eighty days ago there was a
mesquite covered irregular field
70 the southeast Of town, where
now butterhy.like snowy tents
CLEAN under the brilliant sun,
and in the sand storms shelter
costly their valuable birds"
from damage of wind or weather.
Many machines Of various
makes, from different parts of
the country now are awaiting the
word TO away where they
are most needed Much money
~ tied up in these aerOplanes,
but the wars of Europe have
pruveu that these aprOplanes-
the eyes ul the army are the
most vital. except radio telrg.
raphy of all the methods by
which modern victories are won,
So none doubt that the money
invested is money well expended
when good flying machines are
the articles purchased.
Details Of the work at the field
are so we'll known To our citizens
and the flights so keenly watched
by the entire population that is
out of bed when they are made
thai il is hardly WORTH while &c
spe tx of what is commonly
known. There is no branch oI
army work so intensely interest
ing to Columbus people as what
goes on in the "aviary." Ever

detail and hope and fear in con

tion," as the papers call il.
Therefore the Courier will con
tept itself with telling something
OF the achievements Of some of
the officers of the corps-a corps
which is brave and hard work
ing set OF heroic Americans, so
modest that their achievements
are little known.
Captain b. d. Foulois is in
command Of aviation at this the
most important station of aero
nautical wOrk-and much of the
success in the overcoming of diff
ticulties caused by various con
ditions, particularly altitude and
heat, Is the result of his enter
prize, and his grasp of the needs
Of the service. A service that
during this expedition is still
somewhat in the experimental
stage, for all the experience in
aviation at sea level is of little
use when the atmospheric con.
ditiOns of desert and high alti.
tude are encountered.
Among the most picturesque
figures of the Aero Squadron are
Lieut.. + s. Gurrell and Lieut..
Daugue, for they early in April
last broke the record for cross
country and non stop flying
with one passenger, wrestling the
record for this work from the
notable Stephen MacGordon, a
Curtis aviator of New Yark. The
highest altitude reached on this
memorable flight was 300 feet
above the peaks Of the Sierra de
Las ESpuelas, which is really
about II 300 feet above sea level.
A greater altitude could have
been attained, but that the hands
of the pilot became almost use
less from cold.
Five days later Lieut. Dargue
was again the hero of an adven
ture, but not happy one, for
with Capt. K. II Willis, of South
Carolina. as observer, To avoid
possible destruction of the aero
plane he was driving through q
mountain pass, he tried TO rise
but the engine lacked the pep
necessary to respond to the sug
gestion of the pilot, so the fiier'
were smashed on to a ledge o.
rock, falling a considerable dis
lance with the machine, which
was destroyed, and the aviator'
we're badly bruised. They had {
terrible experience in two

Wages and Sanitation.

PAY the worker more and he will
live better, and his family will escape
much of the danger from disease"
said Surgeon General Gorgas of the
United States army, in an address to
churchmen in Washington.
In the treatment of tropical dis
cases." he said, poverty must always
be considered as one of the most i'm
portant evils to be eradicated. Dou-
bling the wages of workmen in Ha-
vana raised them from their former
impecunious state and enabled them
to live in more sanitary fashion than
before"
Sanitation is possible only where
one is able to make the people under
stand the necessity of right living
he added. Gin my experience l have
found that a higher rate of pay is the
most effective way of alternating their
former condition"

Glass of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
open sIuIces Of the syssem each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, 3tasnant matter.

Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise;
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach,- lame back, can, instead, both
look and feel as fresh as daisy always
by washing the poisons and toxins
from the body with phosphated hot
water each morning.
We should drink, before breakfast,
a glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful Of limestone phosphate in
it to flush from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and ten yards of bowels the
previous days indigestibIe waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary canal before putting
more food into the stomach.
The action Of limestone phosphate
ana hot water on an empty stomach
is wonderfully inyigorating. It cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast and it
is said to be but a little while until
the roses begin to appear in the
cheeks. A quarter pound OF lime
stone phosphate will cost very little at
your druggist or from the store, but
is sufficient to make anyone who is
bothered with biliousness. constipa-
ton, stomach trouble or rheumatism
