AERO CLUB OF AMERICA
MAKES APPEAL FOR $4,000

out the winter, as weather condi
ions have been unusually bad and
the lying field has been covered with
snow large part of the time.
The Detachment could already
have been recruited to its full
strength without any difficulty; but
instead of accepting all or a major
ity or the men who have made appli
cations, l have placed a majority OF
their names upon a waiting list from,
which / am making the most careful
selection. The facilities at our dis
posal are very meager, so that the
number of men who can be given &c
tual instruction in flying is limited
This makes 1t important to select
the men on comparative basis. so
that the man who is merely accept
able may not fill vacancy for which
an especially qualified man may lat
er be secured. For example, by the
application of this principle | have
been able to recently recruit three
men who are mechanical engineers
connected with two of the large an.
tomobile companies. One of these
men is the Chief Engineer of his
company. Both, by reason of their
professional training and their pres"
ent occupation, have expert and the
oretical knowledge Of gas engines, az
well as practical knowledge. This is
the way in which I expect to obtain
the necessary expert mechanical
members of the Detachment.
Il am taking up with the reputable
aeroplane manufacturers the posi-.
bility Of obtaining some cooperation
from them in this National Guard
work.

uar expenses of the Detachment ap'
portionable to the month OF Deem

Our experience during the past
two months shows that from two to
four aeroplanes are absolutely es.
sential to the training of an aviation
detachment. Minor repairs and main
tenance to the aeroplanes must be
kept up constantly in order to mini.

This keeps one or more Of the ma
chimes out OF commission good
deal of the time and seriously limits
the number of men who can be train
ed to fly and the amount of flying
they can do. Merely reducing the
number OF men wiz, are being train

THE SYMONDS CASE
BY FRANK FIlSON.

The News-Herald was the yellow.
est paper in town, but old Lyons had
never yet had a woman in the re-
porters room. He always said 1t
needed men to get the sort of news
he wanted. When we came in and
saw little Mary Lesson sitting beside
the city editors desk, therefore, we
rubbed our eyes.
The city editor introduced her to
me.

after a while they ceased to speak,
except for formal greeting.

sorry for Baldwin. but I had known
from the first that no one had q
chance with her. It was the same
way with Elvers, the news editor. He
pulled away in time. And 1t wasn't
the girls fault. She was as nice as
could be to all of us. But she simply
didn't care for love-making.

Jones had said to her, when she
joined us, the paper comes first. II

little place that no one had ever

cording to the claim of the district at.

and that was considered the most
favorable omen for the prisoner. Six
OF us were sent down to Shreveport to
report the trial, which ran in scare
heads every day. They were a week

For some occult reason-all Lyons

was told to take the prisoners side.

The case against Symonds was not

Without her evidence, conviction

Lieutenant Raynal C.. Bolling's lat

During December, 1915, the Avia.

with regularity, interrupted only by
two or three severe storms and made
sixty-three flights, some of which

AT a conservative estimate, the

we have been flying have proved

And on the third morning, when ev.
erybody went about with a copy of
the News.Herald in his hand, open
at Miss Lessons article:
Guilty? That fellow amt guilty.
Why, there's innocence in his face
Look at him! Who'd be fool enough
to send box of poisoned candy like
that? Bought strychnine? Sure! For
rats They can't and won't prove he
put 1t into the creams. Anyway, I'm
In favor OF giving him a chance for
his life"
They can't prove nothing. No
case summed up the popular yer.
dict.
About all the evidence against
Symonds, in fact, was that he had
been jealous of his rival, and that he
had bought a box of candy at one
store and some strychnine pellets,
later, at another. And yet, so suscep-
tible is a jury to the atmosphere of n
courtroom, that the man might have
been convicted but for Mary Lessons
articles.

was to be delivered. old Lyons came
down to sec. He patted Mary Lesson

They gathered round him in an avid
cluster till Symonds' counsel pulled
him away.
"You had better thank Mr.. Lyons"
he said.
The two men shook hands. 81 was

the first, Mr.. Symonds," said Lyons.
"And so l brought to bear what little

He pulled Miss Mary by the sleeve,
and the girl and Symonds stood face

Then there was sensation in the
courtroom. Symonds dropped to the
floor in a dead faint
