TOWN WITH THREE NAMES
Queer Situation Arises and OF Mix
Up in Locating a New Town In
Kansas.

Hutchinson, Kan-The passenger
who gets off the train at Ben Allen,
a new town in Logan county, needs to
make sure that he is not seeing double
or triple, for Ben Allen, although with
less than 200 inhabitants, has three
railway depots.
Moreover, each of the three depots
bears the name of a different town.
1t all happened as a result of Il mix
up in trying to start new town when
the Scott City & Northern railway
was built through Logan county on
it's way from Scott City to Winona.
Two towns sprang up, one named
Keystone and another christened Ell
Kader. Later the two towns were
merged and consolidated on new
town site named Ben Allen, in honor
of the chief engineer who surveyed
the route across the country. SO three
depots now stand ut Ben Allen, each
bearing u different town name.

HOW UNCLE SAM TRAINS MEN
FOR THE AVIATION CORPS

I'm turn he is passed from one to
another of the instructors until four
have had him, and then they make
four separate reports on him. After
that we begin his training in real
earnest, as we have learned then
whether he is cut out to be an uvi-
ator.
Training Is Thorough.
1--WE have found that a student can
not assimilate more than half an
hours lesson aloft in day; that is,
he does not profit by a longer lesson.
SO when he comes down he IS put
to work at the mechanics of the Job,
dismantling and assembling his en-
gine, detecting trouble, making such
repairs MS he might be called on to
make If he had to descend for cause
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 it 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 a
motorcar was sent on n devious ten
mile journey over little frequented
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
island.

1000 IN CELLARS TWO YEARS
Civilian Population of Lens Forced to
Build Roads by the German
invaders.

Parls.-Between 1000 and 5000 Of
the inhabitants Of Lens, which Is in
the occupied territory of France, have
remained there and lived in their Gel
lars for more than two years, says
Ellie Reumaux, manager of the coal
mines there, who has just arrived in
Paris. The former population of Lens
was 10000.
All the cellars in the town, Nj. Reu-
maux says, have been armOred with ce-
ment by the Germans, so that they con
stitute so many little fOrtresses. The
entire civilian population Is obliged to
work at road mending and railroad
building.
The coal mines of Lens which are
among the most important of the re-
giOn of the Pas de Calais and pro-
duced 20OOO,OO0 tons year before the
war, have been idle since tile invasion
and have suffered immense damage.

it; he must fly for 45 minutes at an
altitude of 1000 feet.
"The psychology of this flying bust.
ness so far as the students are con.
cerned," says the commandant Of the
field, "is a singular thing. In con-
siderlng 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 a daredevil job. Then
they go up and they're disappointed

thought at all. SO what do they dol

"The car with the striped top repre-

The airmen were to detect the head
Of the supposed column while the lat

to make the imaginary artillery attack
upon 1t effective.
Problems Easily Solved.
For the problem the map OF Long
Island near the flying field was di-
vided into "a sectors, one being given
to each scout. The lucky man who
found the car whirred back to the field
in short order and Mineola was
Saved"
In another problem three Fast L. w.
f. tractors were sent to n 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 well in a gale, al
though otherwise easier to manage.
It is understood the fastest machines
now at the field are the L. w. f.
tractors, capable of 90 miles an hour.

BASEBALL IS GREAT

Baseball has more possibili-
ties to it, probably, than any
other sport Most important and
far reaching of all is the pres
tige it enjoys as the national
game. This means that every
man and boy in the country, the
moment his sporting Mpod" is
aroused, naturally turnsfo base
ball The publicity it commands
attracts attention and it does
not have to demonstrate-its
case already is made for 1t.
Few of us stop to consider,
too, that there are "Organized
ball" teams in cities represent
ing more than One-third the total
: population of the United States.
This is wonderful, when one
, stops to think of 1t, says Mil
waukee Sentinel. No other game
offers equal, or anywhere near
as attractive facilities for It's en-
joyment and patronage.
Baseball is great and because
Of its possibilities, innate and
: supplied, it will, quite probably,
always be the national game"

New York.-Uncle Sans new army
must have the best avlators in the
world. This is the order that has
come from Washington, and the army
schools throughout the country are
striving to carry it out.
There are many obstacles and dis
Couragements, fast scout planes are
almost nOn-existent this side Of
the Atlantic, but the standard already
reached means as vast advance.
A trip out to the big government
flying school on Hampstead Plains,
near Mineola, l.. l., shows scene of
bustling activity, a beehive of indus
try, which has speeded up even over
It's former strenuous pace in the last
few days.
At the entrance to the field stall
wart private, an automatic on his
hip, challenges the visitor and scru-
tinizes closely the papers shown. A
step through the gate discloses in
side the fence a scene to rejoice the
heart Of the small bOy-a vast ex-
panse, on which great mechanical fall
cons purr and skip, now rising into
the clouds and now descending
swiftly and gracefully to the level
turf.
Framing the picture are rows of air
plane sheds, or hangers, barracks, ma
chine shops, offices and other rough
buildings which have mostly been
knocked into shape in the last few
weeks.
Scores of students and mecha-
niclans hustle around and over the
winged monsters, oiling, plying the
wrench, making tests and seeking the
slightest flaw, for every flying ma
chine must always be in the top notch
of condition.
Pick of the Land There.
War will probably soon change the
conditions here in many ways-indeed,
some differences are already noticeable
from peace days. But most of the stu
dents are still paying their way-and
not a small price either. After pass
ing his flying test n student must turn
over a $500 tuition fee and $500 more
is due on final examination. The stu
dent must weigh not more than 100
pounds stripped, and must furnish evil
dence of having a college education
and be of good moral character"
The pick of the land intellectually
and physically is the raw material Of
the field. Out Of such promising nov
ices Uncle Sam makes finished bird
men in three months-and now even
this brief training period may be cut
down.
The captain in command of the
field explains the course of instruc-
ton:
after the student has passed his
preliminary physical examination and
has had the mechanism of the ma
chine drilled into him, we turn him
over to an instructor, who takes him
up on a JOY ride as a passenger. He
goes up about 5000 feet the first
time. When he becomes, during sue
cessive flights, accustomed to the
swift rush of the air aloft, so dis
concerning to the novice, he Is per-
mitted to handle the controls himself,
but the instructor is there to correct
any errors very promptly.

The die is cast, the time has come,
The eagle screams once more,
The Stars and Stripes again shall

Upon a foreign shore.

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

A toast: We're in the right!
