CARRIER PIGEONS USED
IN WAR OBSERVATION
They Not Only Bear Messages
but Cameras on Their Legs
Picture Trenches

Apparently Government experts believe
that persons raising animals soon come
to resemble the object OF their labors. Re-
Gently a large local breeder Of carrier
pigeons answered an advertisement In a
local paper from a Government depart
ment in Boston desiring these birds for use
in the war. Today he received the reply
from the Government 1t was a blank form,
an application for enrolment in the avia-
ton corps.
However. the report comes from Cincin-
natl that the army signal corps has made
inquiry of a club devoted TO this sport as
to the possibility OF obtaining a large num-
ber Of these birds. Some three years ago
army officials were In this city to look over
the situation and TO find out what ar
rangements could be made to obtain these
birds when required. according to L. NJ.
Gilbert. 1928 Palmer street.
The carrier pigeon is used for observa.
ton as well as for the carrying of messages
Small cameras are attached to their legs
These cameras are worked by clockwork
and are automatically exposed at q given
time. The pigeon is released, flies over the
trenches, the exposure is made and the
pigeon returns to its loft. The birds are
also carried in airplanes. Each plane car.
rles several birds from lofts at different
points along the line Each bird is marked
with q different.colored band, which dis
tinguishes the loft from which it comes
Messages can be sent all along the line by
this means. If tl6 airplane is shot down.
the birds are released and return to their
bases.
A carrier pigeon will always return to the
loft In which 1t was born. 1t is therefore,
necessary to breed the birds at the point It
which they are to be stationed along the
battlefront. Consequently. the Government
requires old birds. with records for breed
ing purposes Philadelphia is in a position
to supply all of these needed by the Gov
| ernment according to local breeders. one
| of the local men has attempted to get in
| touch with the Government, but has not
been successful.

Direction of University
Astronomer

The third session Of the Navigation School
will open tonight in the Engineering Build
ing, University Of Pennsylvania, with an
enrolment estimated at 100 students Tho
Glasses win be in charge Of Samuel g. Bar
ton, an astronomer connected with the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania.
The classes have been formed at the sug-
geston OF the Government TO help furnish
the additional masters and mates needed in
the merchant marine service. 1t Is neces-
sary that men applying for entrance into the
clesses shall have had previous sea experi-
ence. An applicant 10 not expected to en-
list az in the navy, but is expected to sign
for service In the merchant marine. The
course of instruction lasts about six weeks.
Tho work of the school consists in use of
the compass and practice In logarithms.
The students are also instructed In plain
sailing. the determination of time for n noon
sight and the working out of meridian altl-
tude. More advanced work takes UP polaris
and meridian sights, longitude by the sun
and other necessary knowledge to qualify
the student toward proficiency in naviga-
ton. In addition, lectures are given on the
storage of cargo.

LITTLE GRACE KOETZNER
PRODIGY IN DANCING
She Lives in Little Red Brick
House and Friends Say She
Justifies Belasco's Theory

1t seems that what David Bc1asco, famous
playwright, said about the little red brick
house frequently housing an unknown
prodigy is true.
Mr.. Belasco's contention 10 proved IN the
case of Grace Koetzner. seven years old
1921 Cambridge street She lives In a red
brick house.
Instructors Of dancing declare that little
Grace in the near future will be a head
liner.
Dancing was first taken up by Grace
herself. And that was a long time ago. She
was barely four years old when she told
her mother that she wanted to be a dancer.
But Grace has many reasons for being
eager to become a wonderful dancer. No. It
isn't because she wants to wear fancy
dresses. She made that clear today as she
sat in her parlor with her mother at her
side.
II want to be dancer so that l can
earn money and buy a homo for my papa
and mamma"
Everybody around Cambridge street to-
day is waiting with great anxiety for next
Tuesday night. On that evening Grace
will appear at the Girard Theatre, Seventh
street and Girard avenue.

PLAN TO KEEP "SPUDS"
AT HOME IN BERKS

READING, Sept. 1.-THE local safety
committee of tho Chamber of Commerce
continues to mature plans by which the
potato crop of Berks County will be kept
right here at home. Not bushel is to be
allowed to go outside the county II 1t can
be helped. The yield is so enormous that
there is no reason. in the opinion of the
committee, why the retail price to house,
holders shall not be made 81 a bushel.
To attain this it Is proposed to inaugu-
rate an educational campaign among the
farmers to turn down spectators whenever
and wherever they appear and to supply
storage facilities at central points for the
growers IL they so desire. The public has
been warned to be on the alert and that
IL a large proportion of the crop is allowed
to get into the hands of buyers the price
will be SO and probably SO. In this event.
the potatoes would be shipped to New
York, Philadelphia and points much fur
ther away and then sent back to Reading.

over. The entire intention of the campaign
is to avoid the high prices which are sure
to come II the potato crop passes into the
hands of spectators or buyers" as they
are more politely called.

1t would be a splendidly patriotic idea If
the sewing circles of every American church
would devote a special meeting for the COL
lection of thimbles for the boys at the
front.
1t would be staggering to appreciate tho
results that would come from such an effort,
il it were really national in its scope.

started. 1t would be an inspiration for the
individual members. for their communities,
and, above all. for the boys at the front,
who would thus have a definite evidence
that they are not being forgotten by the
dear ones they have left behind.
1t has been suggested the proceeds Of a
movement like this be used for the educa-
ton. and training of recruits fer our avia-
tion corps. which branch of the service will
take such an active part in our war with
