JAKE LOEB SAVES THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS AGAIN-SCHOOL
LAND BILLS GAIN
Jake Loeb, school board president,
found out all of a sudden yesterday
that somebody in the board offices in
the Tribune bldg. had signed his
name with a rubber stamp to
check for 5000.
This money is being used by three
members of the teachers pension
fund board. They are lobbying at
Springfield to keep the school board
from getting control of pension
funds now administered by trustees
elected through majority vote of all
the public school teachers Of Chi
'cago.
Pres. Loeb has ordered Sec'y Lewis
E. Larsen to report how and why his
name was Tubber-stamped on a
check. After an earfuI of correct in
formation on this aspect of the case
has come to Pres. Loeb he promises
to get quick action, ride fast like
Paul Revere and save the public
treasury 5000.
While this 5000 story got nearly a
column space and top head lines in
the Tribune today, the forces aiming
through state legislation to take
away from the city council all con-
troll over school lands empowering
the school board unrestrictedly to sell
school lands at any price it chooses
kept at work. The Baldwin bill
was reported yesterday to be gaining
votes down at Springfield. If it pass
es, the Jake Loeb group Of the school
board, through their alliance with
Mayor Thompson, will have the big
main say-so on the selling of 1890
acres Of school land.

LABOR BODY TO HOLD MONSTER
BILLINGS-MOONEY MEET
The Chicago Federation Of Labor
yesterday signed a contract through
its secretary, Ed Nockels, for use Of
the Coliseum on Sunday, March 25,
at 2 p. m, for the protest meeting
against the Billings and Mooney
convictions in what is called the ,
San Francisco frame-Up." ~
The executive board Of the feder-
alton decided Chicago labor is so in
teTested in these cases just now that
the Auditorium would be too small a
place for a mass meeting and the
Coliseum with a seating capacity
from 10000 to $4,000 is the place
for it.
w. Bourke Cochran, famous New
York lawyer serving with organized
labor without fee, will speak. He de-
Tended Tom Mooney, recently sem
fenced to be hanged for completely
in the preparedness parade bomb
killings. Cochran says the Ameri-
can republic is a joke and the old An
glO-SaxOn rights of trial by jury and
just court procedure is all farce
and a travesty if the San Francisco
courts and judges can hang Mooney
on ''frame-Up" evidence.

THE pupil flies at 5000 feet and de

These stalls are to be made with the
use of an angle of incident Indicator
and slowly placing his machine at the
stalling angle
The pupil is instructed to loop at an
altitude Of not less than 5000 feet. after
which he should stall the machine. at
the same time throwing his rudder hard
over one way thus putting the ma.
chine into a tail spin, II the machine is
capable of executing this maneuver.
To recover from the tail spin is the
salient point that the pupil is now to
learn. This is effected by throwing his
rudder over in the opposite direction.
