Every State in the Union to Boast
of Irish Brides After
the War.
CUPID BUSY AT NAVAL BASE
Brigid O'Rourke, Descendant of King,
WEEDS a Rancher From Colorado
Record for Love at First Sight
Goes to Seaman.

Base American Flotilla in British
Waters.-Every part of the United
States has supplied hero in love ro-
mances that have eliminated in happy
marriages between American blueJack-
cts and blue-eyed Irish maidens since
the arrival of the American destroyer
forces in the south of Ireland.
After the war, every part of the
United States from Maine to Califor-
mia and from the great lakes to Flor
ida will boast of an Irish bride who
was wooed and won in her native land
by an American sailor.
All of the brides are looking forward
to that happy day when they will see
what their husbands SO proudly pro-
claim as Goods country" Already the
American sailor has supplied his Irish
bride with all necessary documents to
establish her Identity as an American,
and some have even had their property
in the United States transferred to
their wives as a precaution in case
they lose their lives for their country.
Rancher WEEDS Irish Maid.
There is the marriage of a former
ranchman, Bert Adams, to Brigid
O'Rourke, whose family descends from
who is boilermaker on one of the de-
stroyers, halls from Hugo, Colo. He
is now arranging to have his ranch in
Colorado decided to his wife as a pre-
caution in the event of his being tor
pedoed. His wife's relatives live in
Bruce, County Limerick, and there is
plenty of anecdote connected with the
family's relation to the O'Rourkes of
kingly fame.
Il don't know anything about ranch
ing Mrs. Adams told the Associated
Press correspondent, but 1 am pre-
pairing myself for the fair land Bert
has told me so much about by studying
a history of Colorado
Then there is the case of Mary
Ridge, head waitress at the leading ho-
tel here, who lost her heart to Harland
G. Richie, machinist's mate, first
class, of Allston, Mass. She was one
of the most popular girls in town. The
dining room over which she presided
is out of bounds to enlisted men, but
Richie contrived to see her while she
was off duty. They knew each other
for four months before Mr.. Richie led
her to the altar of the village church.

COLLEENS Win AMERICAN TARS

But the record for love at first sight
among the Americans belongs to
young seaman, Paul Valachovic by
name, who used to work in the ma
chine shop of the General Electric COM
pany, at Schenectady, n. Y. He fell in
love the first day he stepped ashore
here, from the destroyer. Ada Jones,
Cork girl, was the object of Cupids
dart. After the war Valachovic is go
ing to take her back with him to that
thriving city in New York.
A few of the Americans first met
their wives on visits to England.
Charles Harmon Cobia of Charleston,
S. c., fell in love on the beautiful Cor
nish riviera with Ada Gilbert, a widow
of twenty-four, whose home was in
Plymouth. Another English bride is
Nora Elizabeth Kit, who was married
to Joseph w. Highfield of Des Moines,
Iowa.
Cupid Busy at Naval Base.
But the majority of the Americans
married Irish girls who lived in the vi
cinity of the American naval base and
whom they met at the dance hall or
roller skating rink. Thus Doris Fran
els Phillips is now Mrs. Leo Vincent
Flavell of Hanover, Mass, and Mary
Ellen Sullivan has become the wife of
Thomas A Balschi of Mount Carmel,
Pa. After the war Mary O'Keefe, who
became the wife of Edward c. Turner
expects to desert the trying climate of
southern Ireland for that of sunny San
Jose, Cal. which is her husbands
home. William Spaulding of DeLand
Fla, has married Ester Allen, while
Oral E. Cox of lola, Kan, won the
hand of Phyllis Rose Rogers.
Among others of the American sail
ors who have taken to themselves a
wife over here are Benjamin ]. Moore
of Dallas, Tex; Ebert r. Buckingham
of Pensacola, Fla; Harry E. Holder of
Denver, Colo, and Michael J. Della
Roco of Schenectady, N. Y. And the
list gives promise of growing steadily.

NINE PAIRS SHOES
FOR PERSH|NG MEN
GENERAL ASKS FOR LARGE
FOoTGEAR SUPPLY FOR SOL

AIRPLANE MISHAPS ARE FEW
With Hundreds of Men Learning to
Fly, War Department Records Show
Number of Accidents at Military Avi-

WaShingtOn.-Gen- PerShlng mas
requested shipment Of 1880 pairs of
shoes for each 25.O0O men monthly,
which is approximately ming pairs of
shoes per man per year. This guam
tity is in excess of actual consumption
and is being used to build up a re-
serve for all troops in France When
such a supply is accumulated. the
quantities per man will be reduced.
The quartermaster generals de-
partment now has on hand and due
on outstanding contracts. 7.564,OOO
field shoes and 7,S73.OOO marching
shoes. 1t will be necessary to secure
more than a million additional shoes
during the year.
Records of the war department show
that from the beginning of training in
June. 1917, to February %, 1918. the
fatalities at military aviation fields
in this country have been 81; 10 Of
ficers and % cadets killed in training
flights. and II men killed in unauthor-
lied flights and ground accidents.
Since the training began in the
United States. student aviators have
flown considerably more than 100000
miles. Hundreds of hitherto ineN1
perienced men have been learning to
fly. Their early flights are under the
guidance of instructors. and prior to
these flights two more months are
spent in preliminary ground work.
There comes a time, however, when
every student aviator must take his
machine up alone, and every precau-
ton has been taken to reduce the
number of accidents and safeguard
the aviator in his solo flights.
The fuel administration is carrying
on a series of conferences covering all
industries which use large quantities
of fuel, with view to learning the re-
quirements of each line during 1918.
The Industries themselves are playing
a leading part in these discussions.
The aim of the fuel administration is
to arrive at a percentage of produc-
ton which, under the circumstances,
will be satisfactory to the manufac-
turers and their workmen, but which
will not represent a consumption of
fuel for the manufacture of supplies
not needed during the current year.
The order which has been issued
limiting the use of fuel for the pro-
duction of window glass to so per cent
of the amount manufactured in 1917
is the result of one of these confer
ences. A survey of the field indicated
that while not more that 100000
boxes of window glass would be used
in 1918, competitive conditions were
likely to result in an overmanufacture
of at least 100000 boxes.
1t is through this system of limita-
ton. together with large economy in
the methods of using fuel. that the
fuel administration expects to supple
ment the production of coal this year.
1t is hoped. as the railroads strengthen
their facilities, that it will be possible
to mine and transport a larger guam
tity of coal this year than last, but it
is through these methods of reducing
consumption that a repetition of this
years shortage is expected to be pre-
vented.

When the first Liberty motor was

Pixies Peak that 1t might be studied
while running under atmospheric con-
ditions obtaining at high attitudes.
This difficulty of bringing the motor to
the mountain is now overcome at the
department of commerce bureau of
standards at Washington, by bringing
the mountain to the motor.
Airplane motors are now tested at
the bureau of standards in a labora-
tory where various conditions CORE
spending to high attitudes and low
temperatures are secured. The engine
is placed in an alright concrete room.
provided among other things with re

of this apparatus motors may be OBJ
served under conditions similar to
those at different attitudes, which
might otherwise be done only by actual
