COLLEGES WILL
PREPARE FOR
AVIATION WORK

Six universities have been desig-
mated by the war deartment to give
training in the subjects which will
form a groundwork for aviation prac-
tice in this country. The professors
will first be trained.
Eighteen technical instructors in
the colleges have been designated for
this preparation. Two of them have
spent a day at the Curtiss airplane
plant on their way to Toronto. In
Toronto they will be given thorough
instruction in the methods employed
at the aviation school there which
closely copy the one maintained at
Oxford, England. These three men
are William H. Magruder, professor
Of mechanical engineering; H. c..
Lord, professor of astronomy, and
William knight, assistant professor
of machine shop practice, all of Ohio
State University.
When the college courses have been
organized, the candidates for instruc-
ton in flying will first be given a
two or three month course of inten-
sive study in astronomy, meteOrol-
ogy, wireless, photography, practical
electricity, military instruction, in
ternal combustion engines and a gen
eral knowledge of the business and
duties of a soldier. The training in
the air, when these broad fundamen-
tails have been mastered, can be more
quickly and intelligently done.
1t is understood that the war and
the navy departments have so far re
ceived more than $4,000 applications
for instruction in aviation. From
this batch, some 1000 or 5000 men
viii probably be found available for
the service. Major l.. W B. Rees, of
the British flying corps, here with the
Balfour mission, suggested when he
visited the Curtiss plant that the APP
plications should be limited to young
men between 10 and % wears, who
weigh not more than 100 pounds

thrilling crook story in her latest
picture for William Fox, "A Small
Town Girl" which will be shown at

band of crooks. They steal a jewel
and hide it in the heel of the slipper
belonging to Name (IDez MarceD
the woman of the gang. Little Jane
finds the slipper and gives it to June.
Frank calls and in a playful tussIe
over the slipper pulls the heel off,
The gem falls to the floor. Frank
had heard of the theft and hurTies to
the police with the jewel.
Meantime. the crooks discover the
loss of the slipper. Name quizzes
Jane and learns she gave it to June.
With her men cOnfederates she at
tacks June just as Frank returns
with the police. When left alone
June falls into Franks arms.

The Stars Motion Picture Roll of
Honor.

Mothers of France" an episode of
the world war, is a real war film,
which is saying a whole lot in a few
words. Sarah Bernhard scores a
distinct triumph in this remarkable
photOplay, the scenario Of which was
written by Jean Richepin. The story
is the story of the women of France
who are bearing a terrible burden
back of the lines. Vividly depicted,
masterfully directed, it will be a long
time before Mothers of France is
forgotten. Sarah Bernhard is shown
in the trenches, camps and hospitals
at the front. These scenes. made
with the help of the French govern
ment, have been so realistically
shown that the audience is kept on
edge up to the last foot of film.
Mothers of France" is an 100 per
ctnt photOplay.
