All Hope Hasn't Gone.
Just because Secretary Baker
wouldn't agree with her, Miss Law has
not given up hopes of getting a COM
mission in the aviation corps.
Il shall still work for it and per-
haps the time will come when they
will see that woman can be of as
much service as man. she declared.
Flying is not the same as going in
to the trenches. Of course, there Is
danger. It's a question whether you
hit the enemy, or his bullet hits you
first but there is danger in anything.
My brother has just been accepted
for the aviation corps. I don't know
whether to be proud or jealous of
him"
Aviation will probably end the war,
Miss Law believes. The Germans and
the allies, she says, are almost equal
ly strong in that branch of the serv-
ice lust now. 1t remains for America
to send over large numbers Of men,
she declares, and overwhelm the
Huns.
"F1ying is essentially American, "
she said. Americans have just the

tive, and love Of doing things on their
own responsibility. They should
make better flyers than anyone else. "

Special Corps of Detectives Whose

LONDON, Feb. 5.-(By mail. u
Lord Rhondda, the food controller,
has formed a special corps Of food
detectives to hunt down cases Of
violation Of the boarding act. Unfor-
tunates with too much food in their
possession are trembling in their
boots. Already the food sleuths have
unearthed more than 800 cases Of
boarding. Within a few days whole
sale prosecutions will begin. One
prominent member Of parliament is
included in the catch.
To aid persons in the unpleasant
predicament of having too much
food, a London hospital is advertis-

tons from persons finding them
selves with an unusual supply of food
on hand"
Nearly ton of eatables was found

Included in the Klaber hoard was 1856

Admiral Sir Richard Poore, a
magistrate at Bradford on-Avon. was
fined $50 dollars for boarding fifty
pounds Of tea, and about a quarter of
a ton of other foodstuffs. The ad-
mira1's alibi that he was vegetarian
and his house was SO isolated that it
was necessary to keep large stocks,
fell upon deaf ears. The food con-

they were forced to judge a Judge,

Mrs. Evodia Hughes of Carmarthen
