Americans in training here to be-

to a nearby town or, less frequently,
to Rome.

to "solo" flying, when they are al
lowed to fly alone, thence on through
careful trairing to the time when
they are recommended as fit for Of
ficers. Next their names travel over
the Atlantic to the War Department.
and finally they become officers, and
have their names enrolled among the
fighters for the United States.
II know of no greater glory than
that of being an aviator said the
American ambassador, Thomas Nelson
Page, to some of them at lunch given
their honor.
Their camp is located near the
banks of one of the volcanic lakes in
the mountains north of Rome. The
winter and spring have been mild and
the student aviators have been fly
ing almost every day since they came,
under the direction of Italian instruc-
tor pilots. They utilize the lake for
bathing.
On their Saturday afternoon and
Sunday holidays they ride over to a
cathedral town set on big rock and
they go to church, see the sights,
spend little money on restaurant
food, possibly put up over night at
one of the many little hotels that
are languishing here since the war
cut of Tourist traffic, and they ride
back again Monday morning for d
new weeks training.
Those fortunate enough to have
toothache or teeth in the need of re-
pair may go to Rome for that purpose

dentist exclusively for this camp as
he has at the bigger camp for avi-
ators in the south of Italy. As teeth
connect with the nerves which arc
supposed to regulate the sense OF
equilibrium, it will be understood just
how important commanding officers
consider such troubles. Without 6
proper sense of equilibrium car
can't fly without running the risk
of breaking his neck or a valuable

GOLDFISH MARKET OF JAPAN
Korlyama and Tokyo Are Leading
Centers Of Industry F rom Which
Good Returns Are Gained.

Koriyama is known throughout
Japan as the great goldfish market,
the city of Tokyo ranking next In I'M
portance, says a correspondent. The
waters around the former city seem
particularly suitable for the culture OF
the many kinds Of gold fish.
Generally speaking the gold fish lay
eggs in April, the eggs being Matched
in four or five days. No food Is given
the younglings for three days, but they
are then fed finely ground yolks OF
eggs mixed with water, the yolks be-
ing first boiled then strained through
silk cloth. This diet Is later changed
to the larvae of mosquitoes.
The most valuable fish is called
the Lion Head" which gets its name
from the crests or head fms that have
the appearance Of a lions name.
Three-year-old fish of this variety COM
mand prices ranging from S. to $50. II
It Is the usual custom to keep the
fish in glass bowls, although the fish
cannot fully develop under such cir
cumstances. Flat boxes made of wood
free from I've or shallow cement ponds
are considered ideal for keeping the
fish.

GUARD AGAINST ROSE SLUG
Combating Deadly Enemy Of Sue
cessful Flower Garden.

One or the greatest drawbacks to .
successful garden Is the ravages of the
rose slug, which renders an entire
bush unsightly in short time. But
this enemy may generally be combated
If the work Is begun In time.
If given, early In the season, a good
spraying once week for several weeks
in succession with the full force Of the
spray from the garden hose, this pest
can easily be kept down. If you do
not have hose make up the following
solution and use it full strength from
the ordinary watering can: To one
bucketful of boiling water use good.
sized cake of whale-oil soap and one
teaspoonful of nicotine. Apply this
mixture four nights in succession !!
Commence to combat all garden enc
mics early in the season, before they
have rendered the plants unsightly. i
Climbing roses grow luxuriantly In
almost any sunny situation. They are
strong feeders and care should be
taken that their growth Is not inter-
fered with by being planted In too close
proximity to the roots Of trees OF
strong shrubbery. While many varie.
ties are very hardy, yet they will flow
er longer If planted where they can be
protected from strong winds.

Liberty Bond Investors

responsible persons offering other Sc
curities in exchange. In statement
appealing TO bond holders to hold fast
to the best investment in the world"
Mr.. McAdoo said:
ut has been brought to my atten-
ton that q large number CT patriotic
citizens who subscribed to Liberty
Loan bonds of both the first and sec:
ond issue are being approached front
time to time by agents who have, with
TOO frequent success, induced them 10
sell their Liberty Loan bonds and
take in exchange securities which in
a number of cases have been OF very
questionable value.
Through the intensive work carried
on during the two Liberty Loan CAM
paigns, IL patriotic army Of over ten
million bond buyers in this country has
been created. II is OF the utmost I'M
portance that the investments OF this
army of patriots should be safeguarded
in every possible way, and that their
action in lending their money TO their
government should not be taken adj
vantage Of BY irresponsible people
seeking solely 4 profit for themselves.
II therefore warn investors In Lib
erty Loan bonds against exchange OF
these evidences of their patriotism for
any securities or so-called securities.
While some of the securities, or SO

for government bonds are OF sound
value there is no doubt that a large
percentage of them are worthless.
1T is my earnest hope that every
purchaser Of Liberty Bond will
realize that the only genuine help he
gives his government is by keeping
his bond rs an investment as long as
II is possible for him to do SO. Where.
because of misfortune or imperative
necessity, the holder Of Liberty bond
is forced TO sell, there can, OF course
be no objection"
