Airman Congratulated
on Discovering Mines

Eugene 5. Willard and other mem
bers of Unit No Of the Aerial Coast
Patrol. who are with the mosquito
feet at Gravesend Bay. were receiv-
ing congratulations yesterday on
their mine-fnding ability. "a exhibit
ed Thursday Of Sandy Hook.
Because of a Misunderstanding by
the observers on board the yacht
Ranger OF the signals made by the
aviator il was reported that those
on board the destroyers Flusser and
Warrington and the motor yachts
Dodger II and Gem failed to find the
mines.
II was learned yesterday from the
official report that. as matter Of
fact. they located every one Of them
through signals made by the opera
tor OF the hydro-aeroplane. This was
difficult task. because the mines,
from five to twelve ftet. The crew
of the Dodger II say that they passed
so near 70 one mine that II could
have been touched with a boat hook.
In their enthusiasm about locating
the mines the entire fleet found them
selves dangerously near Rockaway
Shoals.
The trip proved beyond question
that an observer in an seroplane can,
under ordinary conditions OF weather,
signal to vessels beneath him the To-
cation OF mines below the surface of
the water.
As soon as the aviators located the
first torpedo boat their orders were 10
signal the fact. and il was TO be passed
along by radio to the flagship.
The flying boat was ordered 10 re-
main in the air until she located the
Warrington. representing the fleet. and
r.cde a similar report. Another flying
boat, which did not arrive, was to act
as a relay boat for the first one in
making signals.
The deStroyers played their part OF
the game, but the thunder squall
spoiled the rest of the performance
The hydro aeroplane was last seen at
point over the southeast end of Am
brose Channel at 3:l5.
R. H. Ingersoll's motorboat Psyche
". il was announced last night, won
the trophy in yesterdays exercises in
locating a periscope.
In the squall yesterday the Altrurian
II, owned by W. VI. Brown. parted her
cable and dashed against the bulkhead
at Sea Gate. The Psyche " went Ia
her assistance.
At a meeting OF the motorboat own
ers held at the Atlantic Yacht Club last
night an organization was formed to
perpetuate in the Sd Naval District the
work done this week under the direc-
ton of the Navy Department.
Last night the boats had further
drills. Located in the Swash, Ambrose
and main channels. they attempted to
prevent the destroyers from entering
the harbor.

Two aviators qualifying for military
certificates plunged 500 feet TO Gov

Spectators on the parade ground and
on boats in the bay gazed admiringly
at the spectacle There was no sus-
pcion that anything was wrong. It
seemed merely a particularly daring
mannuvre. Again and again the BIZ
plane dropped down its steep corkscrew
course. hesitating but an instant at
each curve.
When it was barely fifty feet above
the island a woman shrieked. Struth-
ers was seen to be hauling frantically at
his control. The engine was dead.

their recovery.

they are swept there will be little
chance Of the children catching
diseases through the nose or throat.
Hereafter dry sweeping as well as
sweeping with wet sawdust will be dis
carded and the oil vapor spray will be
used instead.
in making the experiments we first
swept an ordinary classroom without
spraying. and exposed Ager plates TO
catch the bacteria-laden dust particles.
These were placed in an incubator, and
in twenty-four hours they were alive
with cultures of various bacteria.
After the same room had been sprayed
with oil vapor the plates were again
exposed while the room was swept, and
the result was that very few germs
were collected. The cultures were so
few as to be almost negligible"
DIR. Emerson Approves.
Health Commissioner Emerson said
last night that DR.. Goldberger's plan
had been investigated and Endorsed by
the Bureau of Child Hygiene of the
Health Department, and that he had
then written TO Mr.. Wilcox urging
that il be adopted.
81 have no doubt that il will carry
q certain amount of the dust in the
air to the floor and have tendency to
prevent its remaining in the air of the
room" said DIR. Emerson. Since oil
ing Of the floors is prohibited, anything
that can allay the dust and at the same
time meet with the approval of the
Fire Department merits the approval
of this department"
DR.. {. Ward Champion, director OF
hygiene and physical training of the
BOARD Of Education. conferred yester-
day with Commissioner Emerson re-
gardng the educational campaign
which the Department of Health will
initiate among the school teachers at
the opening session Of the Teachers
Institute. At the close of the confer
ence Dr. Champion said that if the
plans were carried out in full large
amount of attention would be given by
school teachers 10 safeguarding the
health of their pupils. The first meet
ing Of the institute will be held next
Wednesday in the Washington Irving
High School. when DR.. Emerson, DR..

Der Of new cases was not as large as

Of freeing the air Of bacteria. The
plan has also been approved by Fire
Commissioner Robert Adamson, and
the work Of spraying the classrooms
will begin probably within a few days.
How the Oil Works.
"The oil descends TO the floor in a
cloud Of greasy vapor," said DR.. Gold
berger, in explaining the method to be
used in spraying. "and our experiments
have shown that this vapor drags down
