fight against this amendment to the
resolutions, declaring that the COM
tee had seen fit to reject such a
resolution. as we'll as one condemn
irg the administration. DIR. Log

.BLASIAR is YOUNGEST
AVIATOR IN AMERICA
Norwich Conn., Youth Ex-
poets to Be Of Service to U. S.

Norwich, Conn.-Since the death of
Cecil PeOli at Washington last spring
Arthur +. Blasiar, twenty-five, a resi-
dent of Guilford, nearby, is the young
est aviator in America holding license
under the International Federation of
Aeronautics.
Mr.. Blasiar left recently for Canada
and contemplates going to Russia,
where he will demonstrate and instruct
Russian army officers in the operation
of the Sperry gyroscope aeroplane sta
bilizer and target sighter.
When interviewed by a newspaper
reporter Mr.. Blasiar said: 1.-THE Sper-
ry stabilizer enables the pilot to fly
without giving attention to lateral or
| longitudinal control. This relieves him
| from much stress and make it posi-
| BILE for him to give his attention to
dropping bombs with the target sighter.
"He can drop each bomb with accu-
racy and effect. These are the only
| instruments of their kind and are
| American inventions. The machines
on which they have been installed are
| the largest and most powerful made.
They are propelled by two tractor
| screws turning In opposite directions
and developing over 300 horsepower.
| They drive the machine at minimum
speed Of forty-1ve miles per hour and
maximum of 105 miles. This makes
1t possible for them to go faster than
the speedy scouting aeroplanes.
'The total load is 1900 pounds, of
which 1000 pounds are bombs or ex-
plosives. There are two operators.
The delicate parts are protected with
armor, making it almost impossible
| to be shot down. 1t is possible for an
| enemy to launch one of these ma
| chimes 400 miles at sea and fly over
New York city, drop a ton of high ex-
| plosives and return to its base of sup
ply, causing great loss of life and
property.
1.-THE appearance of this great air de-
stroyer is that of a huge beetle, as its
two wings spread nearly 100 feet The
nacelle, or body, in which are the mo-
tors, fuel, munitions and operators,
during flights takes on hideous ap-
| pearance in the air.
MY sole aim is that l may obtain
| actual experience in the art of mod
ern aerial warfare. AS true Ameri-
can feel it my duty that may be Of
greater service to my country in pos
sible future war. The aeroplane Is
the eye of the nation"

ONE CROP PAID FOR FARM,
Western Kansas Farmer Traded Calf
For Wheat Pasture.

Atchison, Kan.-Albert Armstrong OF
this city, who has just returned from
a trip to Lane county, says the farm
ers out there are worrying about what
to do with their money instead of wor-
rying how to get along for lack of 1t.
Western Kansas farmers, according
to Armstrong, have had a prosperous
year. Last spring one Lane county
farmer traded heifer for a piece OF
volunteer wheat for the purpose OF
pasturing his cattle on 1t.
The wheat did so well he decided to
let it grow and harvested 1t. And
he harvested 1900 bushels of wheat,
which will be sold for $1,000. Anoth-
err farmer bought a half section OF
land for $15 an acre. and the years
crop paid for the land.
