PLAN TO STRENGTHEN
ARMY FLYING SERVICE
eourse 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 100000 will be required TO
purchase all the material which has
been contracted for by the corps.

BLOW UP POLICE STATION.
Boston Harbor Squad Escapes Injury.
Neiqhbors 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.

NIGHT Scenes In Yokohama.

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 scene 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.

Burdette and the Towel.

The story Of how Bob Burdette be-
gan to write for publication is rather
interesting. His wife was an invalid,
and most Of his verse and short stuff
were written solely for her entertain
ment. One day he was talking to Frank
Hatton, who later became postmaster
general under Arthur. Hatton was
then editing the Burlington Hawkeye.
Bob" said Hatton, when you get
through reading your stuff to your
wife hand 1t over to me and Ill
print It."
One Of the first things he turned over
was his famous ode to the printing Of
nee towel This L. part Of 1t:
Over and under was blacker than thunder
And daily put on q moro mixer hue
Until one windy morning without any
warning
n fell on the door and was broken In

The girl recently became a tempo

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
a train"
Miss Law, who established an Ameri-
can cross country record of $50 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.

ONLY WHITE HORSES ARE
SEEN IN GERMAN CITIES
Dark Animals Used For Army.
Four-fifths of TaxiS In
Berlin Electrified.

Berlin.-Almost all the horses you see
working in the towns and fields in
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 so 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 look 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-f1fths of the taxis are electri-
fed, which enables them to proceed at
slow, dignified pace for short
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 bis boots.

cruited from the agricultural class.

productive and attractive OF the fifty
six gardens cultivated during the past

gan.
Two tracts Of land were at the dis
posal Of the community gardens COM
mittee, and by cultivating the vacant
lots the gardeners made productive

wise would have yielded nothing.

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

peetations.
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 fine tussle with
what seemed a 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 a shark cannot bite
under water or upright, for nothing
else could have bitten off that tail.
