Admiral Peary, H. M.
Sewall, Gen. Presson
and Others in Confer
ence with Gov. Mill
ken
Two Aeronautical Sections Pro-
posed-Admiral Peary Very
Enthusiastic - Governor and
Council will Today Consider
Plan-If Adopted, Maine Will
Be First State To So Act.

An important conference on the
matter of the establishment of an
aviation corps for Maine was held in
the council chamber at the State
House Friday forenoon, those present
being Governor Milliken, Rear Ad-
mira Robert E. Peary, United States
Navy, retired; Hon. Harold NJ. Sew
all of Bath, chairman of the Maine
Committee on Public Safety; George
L. Crossman, president of the Portland
Chamber Of Commerce; Walter B.
Moore, secretary of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce; William r.
White of Ro Gland; Adjutant General
George Mel Presson; Hon Richard
Webb of Portland, and Capt. E. f.
Bennett, who is in charge of the re-
cruiting stat at Portland.
Admiral Peary presented a plan for
the organization of two aeronautical
or near Portland and the other in the
eastern section of the state, these to
be under the direction of some Maine
man qualified to conduct the work and
to enlist five men for each section as a
minimum and have a lieutenant in
charge Of each section. with the pos
sibility of a Junior lieutenant or en-
sign in addition for each section. If
these two junior officers are secured.
then 10 men will be enlisted to a sec
ton instead Of five men.
The idea is to start at minimum
strength. then recruit to half strength
when the formal training of aviators
would begin. AS that went on, the re-
cruiting would go to full strength,
which would be so men for the two
sections.
Admiral Peary called attention to
the fact that the Portland Aero Coast
Patrol Association already has $40. 900
for station there and he said that
there was $4,000 in private subscrip-

tons in New York banks for this pur-
pose. lie felt sure that any other
sums that might be needed could be
collected in Maine. With the mone;-
in the hands Of the Portland associa-
ton one machine could be secured ut
once and the machine purchased could
be turned over formally to the state
and later the second machine could be
treated in the same way The train
ing of the men and the specifications
of the machines would be in exact ac-
cordance with government reglila- :
tions.
While no word could be assured from
washington that the federal govern
ment would take over these units. Ad
miral Peary was positive that with q
division properly trained the govern
ment would be only too glad to take
charge in a year.
Admiral Peary said that he had been
promised assistance by one of the
most noted aeronautic experts in the
world. man Of Independent means
ana one who has flown in Egypt, Ger
many, France, England and America.
and he would pay his own expenses.
Admiral Peary particularly empba-
sized the fact that the organization of
these sections would make most
powerful appeal to the young fisher
men along the coast whom he charac-
terized as the most valuable person
mel in the world" There are 10. 900
fisherpen on the coast from whom the
flower Of the aviation service could be
picked and he further emphasized the
need of guarding the coast.
Governor Milliken said that he was
not disturbed about the expense, bu.
wanted to be sure that everything that
the state did was in entire accord
with the plans Of the federal govern
ment.
Admiral Peary pointed out that

An interesting spectacle that reminds
one Of war times has been seen on the
street for the past few days and is
furnished by string of army wagons
that are engaged in hauling cord wood.
There are Is of these wagons, each
drawn by two pairs Of mules and each
wagon carries two Guardsmen, one of
whom drives the team while the ether
carries the "persuader," or in ether
words a whip. The wagon train is
accompanied by several mounted men
as a guard. The wood is hauled from
point somewhere on Riverside Drive,
better known as the Bangor road and
is finer lot of wood than has been
brought into the Augusta market for
years.

The fact that none Of the new stock
issues of the Stanley Motor Carriage Com
pany has been offered for public sale is
the probable basis for reports that GER
tain oil producers or refners have fin
anced or helped to finance the company
The deep concern felt over the gasoline
situation and the difficulty of moving the
tremendous kerosene production, have
given these impressions a cloak of plausi-
biity.
That this, however, is not a considera-
ton In the Stanley reorganization is
brought out in a letter on the situation
over the signature of the president, Pres
colt Warren, to the manager of the Wes-
serunsett Garage Co, Inc, of this city
and Madison.
"As a matter of fact. we have had lit
tie or nothing to say for publication, re-
garding the details of our new financial
arrangements. I will, however. take the
responsibility for the statement that the
new financial interests in the Stanley
Motor Carriage Company are not, direct
ly or indirectly, interested in oil, or the
exploitation of kerosene as an automobile
fuel.
Undoubtedly. a more general use Of
Stanley cars would relieve the fuel sit
uation which is so critical now. and
which promises to get worse. And since
Stanley cars burn either kerosene or
gasoline or a mixture of the two in any
proportion. without any adjustment
whatever. the present grave situation
would never be reversed by such general
use, as the fuel prices would always
equalize themselves.
THE interest Of the new stockholders
in kerosene fuel is no different from
mine-that is, the feature is only one of
many which contribute to the fundamen-
tally superior performance and economy
Of the car."-Advt.

physical needs of her baby, and the
first need is fresh air and plenty of it.
Have, if possible, a room with
plenty of windows in which your
child may sleep, or better, wrap her
up warmly and let her take daytime
maps out of doors. Even when the
temperature is below zero there is
no reason why a baby, if properly
made warm with coverings and hot
water bottles, should not sleep with
the windows wide open.
When mothers learn the impor-
lance of fresh air to the health of
the child, there will be much less of
the Great White Plague"
Children who are always kept in
fear of cold and are housed in poor
ly ventilated rooms never use their
lungs to the fullest extent. You can
teach your child almost from the
first to expand it's lungs.
When you battle the child lay it
on its back and rub it's torso softly
and rhythmically, and you will see
how quickly it will inhale and exhale
its breath in long signs of content
,ment.
My baby at three weeks would do
this until I would laugh at it's purely
animal enjoyment. Whatever else
my baby will have, it will have pIen-
ty of fresh air, for know that is the
breath of life.
