DEAR Mr.. PRESIDENT:

DEAR Mr.. PRESIDENT:
1 beg to hand you herewith several memoranda
and letters relating to street railway and other local
public utilities furnishing light, heat and power which
have been asked to bring your attention BY M
m'ttee representing public utility interests
Il hese papers indicate the existence of genuine
apprehension regarding the adequacy, under present
conditions OF the services and local public ut

tine high cost OF essential materials supplies have
afe ed them they have affected everybody else
and that united effort will be necessary in order to-
meet alike the public requirements service and the
corporate financial needs upon which that service de-
ponds.
LAS Secretary of the Treasury | must take eff
cial notice OF these matters 1t is obvious that everv
part of our industrial and economic lie should he
maintained at its maximum strength in CT Ger that each
may contribute in the fullest the vigorous
prosecution Of the Our local public utilities must
not be permitted to become weakened. Transportation
of workers and from vital industries and the
health and comfort of our citizens in their homes are
dependent upon Them and the necessary power to
drive many OF our war industries and many other in
dustries essential to the war is produced by them 1t
may be that here and there because the prominence
given less important interests Immediately at hand
State and local authorities 60 not always appreciate
the close connection between the soundness and eff
cheney Of the local utilities and the national strength

to the call for remedial In such cases am
confident that all such Stale and local authorities will
respond promptly to the national needs when the mat
ter is fairly and properly brought before them.
"Our public service utilities closely connected

Il earnestly hope that you may feel justified in ex-
pressing the conviction that the vital part which the

SILVER LAKE FARMERS
WANT SCHOOL OPENED:
NO TEACHER ASSIGNED

County Attorney G. NJ Torrance
and e. H. Denu attended loyalty
meeting at the Silver Lake school
Sunday. Mr.. Torrance delivered a
splendid talk on the war, which was
enthusiastically received. A chicken
pie dinner was served by the farmers
in that community. II,
The Silver Lake school was built
on the farm owned by Carl Striker,
the logs, lumber and labor being
practically donated by the farmers in
that community. The school is in an
unorganized district, and is located in
rapidly growing community.
Although the school season has
been opened for month, no teacher
has been appointed for this school,
and the farmers interested are very
anxious to see the school opened and
a regular teacher employed. Mr..
Striker states that efforts will be
made to secure a teacher, so that the
farmers need not move from that
community to give their children an
education. Some have already gone
because Of this, according to reports
from farmers there, A well will be
installed on the premises this fall,
giving the school children splendid
fresh drinking water. This work
will also be donated by the farmers.

RESPONSE GENEROUS TO
R. c. SALVAGE APPEAL

The response to the appeal of the
salvage committee of the Red Cross
chapter for cooperation on the part
of the chapter members, else head
quarters would be closed, had the de-
sired effect for the influx Of clothing,
shoes and other articles than can be
sold to those in search of Just such
came in very satisfactorily. Other
material that can be sold for junk is
also needed and shipment will be
made Friday of the latter.
1t is surprising the number of calls
at salvage headquarters, 1T Third
street for articles of clothing. shoes,
etc. The high cost Of such has caus-
ed many to iiew closely to their finan-
ces and how to tide over the crisis
is a serious problem with many. Rub
bers and shoes are also needed. Mag
azines, tires, scrap iron, rags, any
thing and everything that can be used
for junk Is also wanted. Those in
charge are not receiving cent for
their WORK and the spirit Of co-opera-
ton should be evident.
Hereafter the headquarters will be
open afternoons and IL IT warrants
will continue.

London, Sept. 6. (By Mail. y
During the whole career of British
airman the vital factor of tempera-
ment is taken into consideration.
Long ago it was realized that flying
called for special qualities, and that
the human element had to be consid-
cred
This is doubly true Of war-fying.
From the training ground to the ac-
tive service aerodrome the personal
ity of each individual British air
man is closely watched, and is care
fully considered. s.- -
Before he begins his instructions
he is given one or more trips in a ma
chine to introduce him to the new
element, in order that he may see
how he likes it,. If he cannot stand
it, which is very unusual, he need
never fly again.
During the period of instruction
he is allowed to take more and more
control, in accordance with his abili-
ties and inclinations, and SO feelings
of nervousness are gradually elimin-
ated. The pupil is not allowed to
fy alone until he is absolutely
qualified to do so. Before his first
flight alone, he flies the machine
many times with the instructor in
the second seat ready to take control
If necessary and intently watching
his progress. .-
When the pupil feels confident
that he can fly, and the instructor
is satisfied that he is safe pilot

WAR HELPS JAP BANKS.

Toxic. Sept. 5. (By Mail. -
When Japan entered the war in 1914,
the deposits IN her postal savings
banks totalled $100,386,000. Today
the $3.50, 200. 900 mark has been pass
ed, it Is announced by the department
OF communications. The depositors
have increased in number from 12,-
970,907 to 18,464.43l.
These banks were established in
1875. After third OF century. in
June, 1908, the $50,000,000 mark
was reached. The wars effect is pat
tent: in January, 1917, the level OF
$50, 100000 was attained, and in
October, 1917, deposits amounted to
$500, 100000. The average deposit
has grown from $7.75 to 1885.

FLYERS UNDER OBSERVATION
!. DURING THEPR ACTlCE LESSONS

ing by inexperienced pilots is for
bidden, and is punished.
During his practice flying the pilot
is under observation and is not
allowe5 to fly too long at a stretch,
or too ,,ften in one day. "a
In THIS way confidence is built
up and the airman becomes as much
at home in the air as on the ground.
I If he is not well, he is not allowed
to fly. If he has slight accident
which is likely to shake his nerve
he is given rest. If he should
chance to be injured he is given a
long period of convalescence in
order that his nerves may settle down
-and he may be quite fit to fly again.
r AS soon as pilot on active SER
vice has "fown himself out" and is
tired and has lost his keeness he is
sent back to England for long
rest. If at any time he does not
feel like flying he is given holiday.
Thus is the best got out of the
airmen. They are keen enough not
to want few non-fying days until
they feel they absolutely must rest;
at the same time they know that
the medical officer will order it the
moment it is necessary.
But if there is strain, there is also
exhilaration. Airmen love the SEN
sation of flying and love to feel a
machine obeying their slightest
touch The fighting airmen, more
over, enjoy the fierce delights Of
single combat. Fighting in the air
is sporting and often chivalrous.
Airmen. more than any other modern
soldiers, can enjoy the feelings which
animated Coeus de Lion and the
Black Prince.
