ASK AVIATION SCHOOL
FOR BOISE BARRACKS
Senators BOrah and Nugent Appeal
to Secretary Of War; II I'M
possible, Urge RemOunt
Station

Observation-Disclosures Borah
and Nugent Saturday called on the
secretary of war and urged favorable
action on the request of the Boise
Commercial club that an aviation
school be established at Boise Bar
racks. The secretary promised to
take the matter up with the air SER
vice of the army and to advise the
senators as to their attitude. The
senators urged that, if Boise barracks
cannot be used as an aeronautical
school it be made regular remount
station. This request seemed to
strike the secretary more favorably,
but on this issue also he declined to
commit himself until he confers with
the quartermaster general.

GOLD NEXT TO FOOD

In 1912, a twenty dollar piece
would buy 2S6 pounds of 7-S inch
octagonal drill-steel; today it will
buy about eighty pounds.
This is simply one illustration OF
what the gold mining industry Is
up against" Every commodity II
uses has advanced in price from rs
to 400 per cent, but the price of gold
remains the same and must remain
the same. -
AS a gold dollar will hardly buy
half as much as before the war,
there appears to be no great advant-
age in mining gold ores at this time
especially when almost every
yarity of mining cost has doubled
and more.
AS a result gold production Is fall
ing off at an alarming rate.
Instead of discouraging gold pro-
duction by trying to class it as a
non-essential industry, thereby de-
priving it of necessary material,
every effort should be made to guar
antee the gold miner, all supplies
necessary.
AS it is impossible to increase the
price Of gold, temporary measures
tending to reduce taxes on gold min
ing properties are being considered
to help Offset increased prices of
other commodities.
Secretary McAdoo says: Next to
food and ammunition, gold is one Of
the most needed war essentials.
The public has not understood the
situation but an instant's thought
will show the plight Of the gold min
ing industry and emphasize the nee
essity for measures to encourage pro-
duction.

WHAT THEY'LL DO

when | get back home,' remarked
I'm going to get off the boat down
the river and go right to those Turk
ish baths in the Woolworth building
you know where they are. And
I'm going to stay in there and soak
for an entire week, to make up for
all the baths I've lost out on over
here"
when / get back home," re-
marked the corporal, I'm going out
to little old ice cream parlor run
by some old colored people that
really do know how to make ice
cream-not the salty, watery stuff
they hand out over here and charge
you france for, but the real hing.
And I'm going to- eat myself abso-
darnlutely hog-sick!"
The private said nothing for mo-
ment. Then:
when l get back home and into
cts clothes I'm going to walk up
and down every street in town with
my hands in my pockets. And If
there are any M. P.'s in that town
of mine by that time, I'm going right
up and thumb my nose at every one
of them. And If any one of them
raises his jimmy, I'm goin' to say.
Yah, you son-of-a-gun! The likes
of you made me take my hands out
of my pockets, where they were COM
Portable, every time l turned around
in France. But now, that I'm in cts
you can 60 plumb to hell"
"Shake!" said the sergeant. But
the corporal had slipped the mitt to
the private before he could say it.

That night as he kissed his mother
goodnight the King pressed her close to
han in a fond embrace, as she thought,
hut really to feel If he could find the gold
fish which hung from the chain around her
neck.
''lt is true" he said To himself with a
sigh my mother is not kind and gentle >
That night while his mother slept the
hing went to her room and carefully took
from her the gold fish. and in the morning
when she awokc the servants told her he
went early into the forest TO hunt
While the Queen was bathing she dis
covered the charm was gone. All the pal
ace was hunted over for it, AID the Queen
would not be comforted The little gold
fish was lost and perhaps Bida would yet
rule in her place
But the Hing was far away in the forest
and she could not reach him. If at that
very moment Queen Sari could have seen
her son she well might have been frighten-
cd.
He was kneeling by Bida's couch with
the magic charm that would awaken her
and restore her 10 her former self.
He laid the fish on her breast and slowly
Bida's eyes opened 'lt is day she cred
You have found the charm and | am

not of noble birth and that am sure was
her reason for not wishing you to marry me
"You are quite right, replied the
Queen. "You are of humble birth and
should not become Queen; but if my sen
cannot be happy without you he should
have YOU for his wife for king should
have everything he wishes.
The King was not deceived, however.
Mother, il was Bida s beauty that you
hated: YOU cared not who her parents
were: YOU did not wish queen In your
place who was more beautiful than your
self. But nv queen she shall be, and sfe
will reign In your pace this very night,
for have commanded a feast to be made
and the wedding will take place at once
Without raising her eyes from the floor
the Queen bowed low before the King and
Blda and left the room.
All this time Sina. Bida foster brother,
was in the palace of a king IN another
country. He started out to get the magic
fish from Queen Sari, YOU remember, after
Bida returned to her home.
On his way there he was shot by n
prince who was hunting and was carried
10 the palace OF the princes father, King
kemba. to recover. \
Prince Poutra watched beside the bed
Of Sina day and night, for he was deeply
grieved that he had shot the boy, SO the
first one that Sina saw when he came to
himself was the face of Prince Poutra
looking AT him with kindly eyes.
"Blda." my sister, is 1t YOU? SAID
Sina, and then he saw 1t was stranger.
Prince Poutra told him how he had been
injured and Sina told him the story of his
sister, how he had started to find the magic
charm TO save her when he had been in
jured in the forest.
"But YOU, Prince. look more like my
sister than | do OF course, she is not my
own sister, So why should | resemble
herr" said Sina
Then he told the Prince the story of
how his father and mother found Bida
when a baby in a basket on bush and
the Prince told the story of his father,
King kembs.

Just before dark the merchant and his

The King told them who he was and sll
that had happened and that he wished 10

This frightened the merchant, so he
told the King of finding Bida in the
basket when she was baby, thinking the
King would not wish 70 marry one OF
humble birth.
But the King would not listen; he was
in love with Bida and it mattered not TO
him who she was; he would make her his
queen.
The Queen was watching from the
palace window for her sons return the
next day. and when she saw Bida seated
on horse riding beside him she was filled
with rage and fear.
When the King sent for her she had

she managed to hold herself erect and
