Planes May Cross Atlantic.
Allan r. Hawley In Flying.


The most difficult problem in the
cross-Atlantic flight mas always been
considered the problem of finding ones
way during the flight. The distance be-
tween Newfoundland and the Azores IL
less than 1,200 miles, and those who
have given thorough consideration to
the subject have had little doubt for tho
past seven years that an airplane could
be built to cover the 1900 miles But
we appreciated the danger involved in
the pilot losing his way, drifting from
his course, and missing the Azores.
The practical solution Of the problem
Of directing aviators in trans Atlantic
flight was found by accident in 1914.
Soon after the declaration of war the
Aero Club Of America-the headouar-
tiers of the national defense movement
was notified. "The sky over New

which would always point to the direc-
ton Of a sending station, so that if any
station was established at the Azores
the aviator would have no trouble in
finding the Azores and all possibility
Of losing himself would be precluded.
We have discussed at length with
Major Perfetti, head of the special Ital-
Sar SCI rY1S fa1
United States, his plans for the trans
Atlantic flight, every detail OF which
has been forked out carefully. Having
considered a great many such plans in
the past 10 years we are Thoroughly
familiar with the problems and difficult
ties attending such Highland are
convinced that it can be done and done
well. The largest Italian Caproni tri-
plans can make the nssAtlantic
flight easily, and as Major Perfetti has
said, the Caproni company will be glad
to undertake it if arrangements are
made for the flight.

COMPETITIVE EXHIBITS
FOR ALFALFA GROWERS
Retain Your Prize Alfalfa From
This Falls Cutting For
Farmers Week.

The Kentucky Alfalfa Growers
Association is planning to have an
exhibit of alfalfa and alfalfa prod
ucts in connection with its next an
nual convention which meets at Lex
ington next January during Farm
ers' Week" at the Agricultural Col
lege.
Handsome prizes will be offered
for the best 5-inch bundle of alfalfa
cut from a field a year or more old
and also for the best 3-inch bun
die of alfalfa sown this summer.
Such a sample will, of course, have
to be cut just before frost.
1t is possible also that classes will
be opened for the best bale of al
falfa, but this has not yet been de-
cided upon.
Current prices of wheat bran, cot
tonseed meal, oil meal, tankage, and,
in fact, all stock feeds that bear a
high percentage of protein are al
ready so excessive that alfalfa seems
to be coming into greater favor than
ever before, on account of its high
feeding value and its wide range of
usefulness. 1t can be fed to good
advantage to all classes of live stock,
even to swine and poultry.
In spite of the great demand for
increased acreage of wheat and 9TH
err crops, the indications are that a
greater acreage Of new alfalfa is be-
ing sown this summer than ever be-
fore.

SMALL CITIZENS ARE
FOR Preparedness
Five.Year.Olds Join Health Cru.
saders-NationaI Legion
Numbers 100000.

.
preparedness on an organized basis
has almost included the country's in
FAINT citizens with the development
of the National Legion of Modern
Health Crusaders into a permanent
body. This army of youngsters al
ready numbers 100, 900 of both sexes,
ranging from FIVE to sixteen years of
age. BY the end of the present
school year many times that number
are expected to be recruited into the
ranks from the 2O,000,000 boys and
girls of school age in the United
States.
The plan was suggested original
ly by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis as a temporary local feature
of its fall Red Cross Seal campaign.
Believing, however, that the very
foundation OF efficient national pre-
paredness lies in insuring the health
of the children and that the best way
to do this is by forming health habits
and self-contrOl through systematic
discipline, the Association announces
its plan to bend every effort during
this school year toward getting the
majority of the school children of
the country into leagues of Modern
Health Crusaders.
Each Health Crusader pledges "to
do nothing that may hurt the health
of any other person, and to help keep
home and town clean" to do at least
eighty per cent of the health
chores" or to sell at least ten Red
Cross Seals for the anti-tuberculosis
fund, and, in general, to obey the
crusaders health rules.
The CHORES number eight, in
Guiding washing the hands before
each meal; drinking glass of water
before each meal and before going
to bed; brushing the teeth in the
morning and evening; taking ten or
more deep breaths Of fresh air each
day: playing outdoors or with win
dows open more than thirty minutes
each day; staying in bed ten hours
or more each night and keeping bed
room windows open; sitting and
standing straight. eating slowly and
attending to each bodily need at
regular time; frequent and regular
bathing.
These chores are charted on week.
ly record cards that are filled out by
the parents, and on the basis of the
percentage standing thus earned per-
iodical honors and titles such as
Squire and knight with accompany
ing medals are awarded. The title
of Knight Banneret, accompanied by
a gold pin, is the highest rank.
Some of the special programmes of
work suggested for Health Crusad-
ers, in addition to selling Red Cross
Seals, are fly and mosquito cam
paigns, baby welfare work, cleanup
week, food protection, and first aid
work.
With the extension of the local
leagues of Modern Health Crusaders
in every school of the country as is
planned, the United States will have
machinery for an unbroken chain
OF health preparedness from five to
thirty-one years. Between sixteen
and CONSUMPTION age are such organ
izations as the Camp Fire Girls, the
Boy Scouts, the United States Boys
Working Reserve. and other military
companies.
