Way the Business Of
The M. Megary & Son Company

The firm has changed in some ways during
these years. We have progressed not specacuarly
but slowly, adding always to our STOCK our store and
our list Of customers.
But one thing has not changed in all these years.
And that is method Of doing business
Our ledgers show hundreds of names Of custom
ers who have dealt with us consistently year in and
year out, for twenty thirty and forty years.
There very few homes in Wilmington that we
have not bel ped to furnish.
There must be some strong reasons for such
record
1t is because we have goods of known quality,
sold at reasonable po6t-- truhfuness in the adverts
ing and the selling of our wares--ef6cient service--
courteous and careful treatment of our patrons Our
statesmen are instructed that they are not here primarily
to make sales but customers.
Such store with such history merits your
confidence.

INDIAN CAVALRY PROJECT
REJECTED BY Mr.. BAKER

Secretary Baker has acted adversely
board of Indian commissioners to raise
a regiment of cavalry among English
speaking Indians who have had mil
itary training. In a letter to the Sec
retary of the Interior on the subject
Mr.. Baker says that after a conscien-
tious test covering several years the
plan of using Indian organizations in
the army was discontinued. He eN-
pressed the opinion that it would be
much better now for the interests of
all concerned for such Indians who
have military aspirations to enlist in
regiments of the regular army.
Il do not think it advisable. says
Secretary Baker. ito add to the army
any more peculiarly racial regiments
other than the negro regiments now
authorized by law. / do not think 1t
desirable to raise organizations COM
posed of Indians for service during the
war only. Our experience fully dem
onstrated the fact that Indians object
very seriously to separation from their
families. Our experiments could not
overcome the tribal characteristics"
Explanation is made at the War De-
partment that the statement in Secre-
tary Bakers letter, against the advisa-
bility of adding to the army amy more
peculiarly racial regiments, other than
the negro regiments now authorized
by law" did not mean, as assumed by
some, that no more negro regiments
would be added to the army. but mere
ly that no additional racial distinctions
will be made in the army organization,
such as would be involved in separate
organizations of Indians. Chinese. etc.
In fact, the plans of the War Depart
ment contemplate the addition of sew
eral negro regiments to the army un-
der the selective draft law and the in
corporation in those units of the negro
officers found qualified at the training
camp for colored men to be established
at Des Moines, Iowa.

NEW YORK, May 26.--Conclusion that
the United States must strike Germany
through the air" has been reached by
the governments aircraft production
board and the Aero Club OF America as
result of meeting attended by off,
cials of the two organizations in Wash
ington, it was announced here today by
Alan r. Hawley, president of the Aero
Club.
Entente and American military authori-
ties who have studied the subject, Mr..
Hawley said, are agreed that the ad-
dition of 10000 aviators today to the al
lies present aerial forces would insure
binding German batteries and prevent
ing German aviators from conducting
operations over or near the allies lines.
Having reached this understanding,
which it was stated involves air raids
on a large scale against Germany. the
Aero Club announced it would make ef-
forts to get and train thousands of avia-
tors, and planned to effect the manufac-
ture of tens of thousands of airplanes
of different types for training. bomb
dropping. artillery spotting sighting and
submarine destroying.

Must Extend Resources.

ITO do this. the aviation training IA
cilities and the sources of supplies for
aircraft must be greatly extended" a
statement by the club reads England
and France had to come up from pro-
duction Of a few airplanes a month to
the present production of about 1000 a
month and have had to do that with
limited resources and materials. The
United States today has a better start
than either France or England had at
the beginning of the war and it has
tremendous resources in workmen and
materials"
The statement says that for obvious
reasons the details of the plans for ex-
pansion cannot be made public" but
the American public is assured that
proper attention is being given to meet
ing this need for large numbers of air
planes and aviators."
Howard E. Coffin, chairman of the
aircraft production board. has asked
the Aero Club, it was stated, to con-
tinue to assist in recruiting aviators
and mechanics. on the ground that AL
though thousands Of applications have
been received. such large number of
men are needel to make aviators and
mechanics that it is desirable to have
as many applications as possible in
the hands of the chief signal officer of
the army"

Twenty-Four Operations a Day.

1t is proposed by the committee to fix
one one-half hour as the unit of time, this
unit being chosen because il has been
found that it is best not to keep child
under operation longer than that time.
In day of six hours. from 9 to II o'clock
and from l to o'clock, there are to be
twelve half-hour units, which will enable
one operator to see twelve children. 1t
has been found that an average Of two
operations can be completed in half an
hour. Hence. in a day. twelve children
can he seen and twenty-four operations
can be completed On a weekly basis Of
five whole days and one half day there
are siXty-siN half hour units. which means
that in that time siXty-siX children may
be seen and 1872 operations can be done
by one operator. On yearly basis. 2.376
children. or 4,.52 operations. can be taken
care of in the school year Of nine months.
1t is pointed out that examinations
show that children's mouths present a
necessity for an average Of four opera
tions rather than two, and. therefore.
makes it possible. on that basis. to COM
plare work for 1.lSS children in the
school year.
The committee proposes to reach at
least II per cent OF the children in the
public schools. Considering the number
of children in the public schools as ap-
proximateiy $4,000 and the number of
children each clinic may care for as
l.lsS, it is estimated to take six clinics to
meet the situation. 1t is proposed to
have twelve operators for these clinics.
who will be half-time men. and six dental
nurses. who will give their full time to
the work.

To Cost S24, $50 First Year.

The total estimated cost Of the equip
ment, materials and operation for the first
year is s24.s60 for the six clinics. which
includes also the salaries of the operators
and nurses
Through the efforts of Mrs. Baxter the
District of Columbia Dental Society and
Capital City Dental Society have become
interested In the formation of the clinics.
Neither of the organizations. however,
she explained, has taken definite action
in the matter.
Meetings are being arranged to per-
feet the plans of the organization and
1t is reported to solicit funds through
out the city to finance the clinics. An
appeal is also to be made to the District
Commissioners to urge Congress to ap-
propriate for the work, while members
of the Senate and House of Representa-
tives committees are also to be urged to
have such an appropriation passed by
Congress.
