during a flight. We give him text
books on motors, too, and something
about aero-dynamics, and teach him
how to observe the earth as 1t flies
under him.
When the young aviator is COM
petent to handle his machine he is
introduced into more complicated
work, scouting and maneuvering.
For instance, on a recent day
motorcar was sent on devious ten
mile journey over little Irequented
Long Island roads. It's top was broad
ly striped in black and white, but 9TH
erwise it could not be told from the
tens of thousands Of other cars which
are constantly on the move over the

''The car with the striped top repre-
sented the head of an enemy convoy.
The airmen were to detect the head
of the supposed column while the lat

to make the imaginary artillery attack
upon it effective.

In another problem three Fast L. w.
F. tractors were sent to far distant
point, which was not disclosed to the
students, and there sent up as scouts
of an enemy bent upon taking photo
graphs of the MineOla field. The stu
dents were to locate these machines
and drive them back by heading them
off. They did this with ease.
Not all the feats attempted work
out well, because real swift machines
are lacking. The slower machines do
not stand up so we'll in gale, al

It is understood the fastest machines
now at the field are the L. w. F.

What They Must Do.
The Mineola school is officially an
aviation section of the signal officers
reserve corps. Civilian volunteers en-
ter as sergeants and become lieuten-
ants in the reserve on passing their
examinations. These exams are not
to be shifted at. Here are some of
the things the young collegian must
do:
he uuuSL ClIluU OuI VI q uclu Z,OOO
feet square and attain an altitude of
500 feet while keeping all parts of
his machine within the square; he
must cut off his motor at a height of
1000 feet and land within 200 feet of
a designated point; he must land over
an assumed obstacle ten feet high
and come to rest within 1,5OO feet of
it: he must fly for 45 minutes at an
altitude of 1000 feet.
"The psychology Of this flying busi-
ness so far as the students are con-
cerned," says the cOmmandant of the
field, "is a singular thing. In con-
sdering it you must put fear out of
the reckoning. The students are
never frightened. The fact of the
matter is that they go into it think
ing that it's daredevil job. Then
they go up and they're disappointed
it isn't the daredeviltry they
thought at all. SO what do they do?
They tend to go to the other ex-
treme right away and we have to
keep them from killing themselves
with sheer reckIessness. We have 20
teach them with every ounce of abil-
itv we possess that if they make the
one slip they seem determined to
make it will be the very last slip
they'll ever make"

THE FLAG
BY KENNETH MAC DOUGAL.

The die is cast, the time has come,
The eagle screams once more,
The Stars and Stripes again shall
wave
Upon foreign shore.
Behind the flag Of freedom.
Sweep on our fighting men,
To crush the Prussian eagle,
The peace dove bring again.
Regiment, brigade, division
And corps pass smartly by;
Pressing to crush oppression,
That the flag of right may fly.
Men who were known as hyphens,
Russians, Frenchmen, lads from
Spain,
. Germans, Austrians, Italians,
Are Americans again.
To the flag, then! To the president!
A toast: We're in the right!
Forward, march! Well show the
Prussian
That we're not too proud to fight.

Great Britain Asks Them and
Also Her Own People
to Eat Less.

London.-England has issued call
to all the allied peoples, not only her
own, to help obviate food shortage.
The call solemnly warns them that
famine conditions may exist through
out the world before the next harvest
is reaped.
Since Lloyd George declared "Our
stocks of food are low, alarmingly
lower than within recollection" scores
of public leaders have repeatedly
warned the people to place themselves
on voluntary rations.
The public absolutely refuses to rec
ognize the governments position, and
such conditions have resulted evil
dently in the issuance of the appeal, ap-
parently from an official source, which
outlines clearly the worlds deficiency
In wheat and other agricultural prod
ucts, while the war is disorganizing the
supplies of food staples to nearly ev-
cry civilized country.
So serious is the food situation that
England has completely cast off the
cloak of secrecy. At the beginning Of
the war Germany deliberately re-
quired the slaughter of a large proper
ton of the live stock in order to save
food, and now finds out her mistake.
Conversely England at the outset in
sisted that lire stock be conserved
neither exported nor slaughtered need
lessly. Now England, possessing a big
stock of animals, orders that they be
slaughtered in order to provide food
and save feeding them.
Food Supply Diminshes.
Commenting, the Evening News says
that Lloyd George issued his warning
seven weeks ago. Since then the con-
sumption inland, which imports four
fifths of its ample cereal supply,
makes an important bite in the store.
Meanwhile the submarines are sinking
ships and cutting down the rate of re-
pisniShment,

A DANGER SIGNAL FOR
COTTON FARMERS

Here is warning we wish ever,
farmer in America could hear anC
heed. Especially should such a warn.
ing be an effective answer to such adj
vice as Col. E. H. r. Green is giving
Texas farmers-telfng them to plant
the whole earth in cotton next yea,
and the fence corners around it, and
risk buying their food stuffs from 9th.
er sections.
II there ever was time when the
farmer should make safety first" his
motto in business, that time is now,
The world can get along betetr with
out clothes for a while than it can
without foodstuffs and feedstuffs, and
so whenever the crash comes, cotton
prices are likely to drop more quickly
and to suffer longer than the prices of
foods and feeds.
Woe unto the farmer next fall if he
is forced to pay for everything out of
his cotton crop when an overproduc-
ton of that crop and disturbed finan-
cial conditions work together to force
down the price! Surely, we have not
so soon forgotten the lesson of 1914.
If safety first" should be the mot
to of business men generally. it
should ten times more emphatically be
the motto of the southern cotton far
mer-The Progressive Farmer.

SPANISH SHIPPING
INTERPRETED WITH
Submarine Situation Seriously Affects
Canaries Trade.

Madrid, January Public indigna-
ton has been aroused through the pub
LEGATION of telegram received by the
manager of the Cartagena Navigation
Company confirming the report that
the San Leandro was torpedoed by a
German submarine.
1t was generally believed that the
loss of the steamer was accidental, as
her cargo being of fruit. it was con-
sidered unlikely that she would be tor
pedoed. The crew of the ship has ar
rived at Hendaye, France, where they
made statements before the Spanish
consul, in which they said that they
were twenty-six hours in an open boat
before reaching the French coast.
The navigation company has sent
kilograms to Premier Romanones and
the minister of commerce protesting
against the sinking and has suspend
ed the sailing of another of its ships,
the San Isadoro, which is now loading
fruit at Malaga.
The situation at the Canaries is de-
scribed as grave by the latest dis
patch from the islands. Only 233
ships called at Las Palmas in the
month of December as against an av-
erage of 100 for the month in normal
times. Of the 233 only one was Eng
lish and there were no French or Ital-
ian, fact attributed to the presence
of submarines in the vicinity of the
port.
Commenting on these conditions the
Epoca remarks that Spain, without
participating in the war suffers in
consequence, as far as the Canaries
are concerned, almost to the same .ex-
tent as a belligerent nation.

LIFE

Our yesterdays are the blocks with
which we build
Foundations for the structure of to
day.
And our morrows are but fleeting
clouds
The breath Of circumstance may blow
away.
We're we to labor for ourselves alone
Small need for aching brow and weary
brain.
We strive and struggle for posterity
And hope to widen manhood a grand
domain.
Who seeks for self tears down where
he should build.
Who builds for others wins the wreath
of bay.
Our yesterdays should then be broad
and strong
To hold aloft glorious today.
If we were mortal, life were spent in
vain,
So brief it is, so full of toll and tears.
But since immortal, o! how grand to
know
Each noble effort lives eternal years.
Ambition, Hope, Faith, Duty, tender
Love
Each one, a place within, to help us
wins.
The golden dawn of youth illumes the
sky.
Awake! Today dreams end, and Life
begins.
