FLYING under weather conditions
that were almost ideal, Major Kirby,
com handing officer at Gerstner Field,
Accompanied by Lieut.. Dimitry, COM
manding officer of the 179th squad
ron. and his mechanicians Sergeant
Cunningham, made the round trip
between Gerstner Field and New Ibe-
ria Saturday. American machines
were used, and the round trip of $50
miles was accomplished in ITO min
utes.
Major Kirby and Lieut.. Dfmitry
left the field within a few seconds Of
each other Saturday morning at
10:48, it being the purpose of the
| commanding officer to inspect Off
ciaIIy the new landing field at New
Iberia, which the town people fin
ished recently. This work was done
at a cost Of several thousand dollars,
and while he appreciated the patriot
ism shown by the desire of the New
Iberians to facilitate the landings of
the filters, this is the first opportun-
ity the major has had to visit and in
spect the field. AS Lieut.. Dimitry's
home is in that city, it was natural
that he should be selected to accom-
pany Major Kirby.
On the trip over there was little
wind in any direction, and they
reached the outskirts of the city
about noon. The field is two miles
from the city limits and already
there were scores of automobiles
waiting. Major Kirby, before land
ing, took advantage Of the opportun-
ity and Of the splendid weather to DO
some stunts, and it is reported by
witnesses that when he finally did
land the people were still gasp1ng IN
wonderment. It isn't every day that
an a~irplane visits New Iberia and none
of them does stunts. But the major
did everything, according to report.
He did a tailspin and lost fifteen hun-
dred feet in altitude; ne did vertical
banks, and one reverse turn after an
other until the people didn't know
whether he was coming or going; he
did stalls, loops, nose dives, and all tht
other stunts with which Lake Charles
people have become familiar through
FREQUENT observation. then both he and
Lieut.. Dimitry landed their machines
on the new field.
Here they were met by Mayor See
ley and a committee composed Of the
postmaster, P. M. Broussard, a broth
er of the late Louisiana senator; Sen
ator Burke, Sheriff Landry, d. A.
Dimitry, ST., who has been a resident
there for the past twenty years;

Lieut.. Moryant, formerly stationed at
Gerstner Field, whose salute was a
model anyone would be safe in copy
ing. Major Kirby had obtained some
toys for him, and brought them all the
way by airplane. We suppose little
Dimitry who by the way, is a nephew
of the lieutenant, wondered why the
toys didn't fall out when the major
looped and did the reverse turn, a it.
is now proper to say.
The filters we're taken uptown.
where luncheon was in order, then
they were taken for a siht-seeing trip
of an hour. One of the places of his
toric interest they saw was the Bayou
Teche, where is located the Evange-
line Oak, the scene of the parting of
Longfellow's Evange1ine and her low
er, according to popular legend, They
also visited the federal agricultural
farm and went from there to the house
of Lieut.. Dimitry's father, where they
spent another hour. BY this time it
was getting late in the afternoon, and
as the eclipse of the sun vas about
due, and it would be an hour and a
half before they could have supper at
Gerstner Field, the major decided to
start for home. But he didn't leave
as abruptly as that. A few more
stunts, after he had climbed to a suf-
ficient altitude, were first INDUCED
in, and it is probable chat New Ibe-
rians now believe an ailplane TO be
as safe as an automobile.
On the trip to the city an altitude
of about 5000 feet was held for ap-
proximately the whole distance, but
on the return trip the haze compelled
them to fly about two thousand feet
lower. A lookout for other aVa1labte
landing ulaces was kept and a good
one was noticed at AbbeVille. The
one at New iberia is about 1900 feet
long by 1000 wide, and there are
hardly any trees in the vicinity to OBJ
struct landings.
They left the ground at New Iberia
at $40 p. M, and reached Gerstner
Field at $40 within a half minute of
each other. The major depended up
on the sense of direction evidently, as
his ship was not equipped with a COM
pass, and they did not follow the rail
roads. When it is taken into consid-
Grafton that he spent probably half an
hour altogether doing stunts, it will be
seen that the machine travelled at
a m~ile.a-minute gait, which is fast
enough for a training airplane.-Lake

How to get the men

How to get the men:
"The suggestion is this-each state
committee with the help of the eoun-
ty or parish committee take a tabu-
lated list OF the profession in their
state and in their respective district
or parish and select from the list
twice as many men as will be wanted
in the first call. and notify eacn n
Of these men through the chairman
or the parish committee men or by
letter, telling him the necessity of
him enlisting on acount of the urgent
need Of the nation and that he has
been selected by the committee Of
the state to at ono apply for a COM
mission and subject himself to the or
ders of the surgeon general. If one
of our profession has bae.1 selected
and has been placed upon the defer
red list because of dependents, that
is no impeachment where enlistment in
the medical reserve corps is concern
ed. It is needful that these men
should receive certain definite in
formation IN regard to the require
ments, the cost Of equipment, salary,
chance of advancement and that, /
understand has been formulated and
will be sent to each one.
1T is the belief of the medical re-
serve corps Of the medical section of
the National Defense that every man
between p and 81 years oil age
should be in the service of the gov
ernment."
Dr.. Foster, offered the following
resolution, which was adopted nnan-
imeIs.y
Resolved, That we, the members
of the st. Landry Parish Medical
Society and medical profession Of
st. Landry parish. do hereby tender
our services to the medical section
Of the National Council Of Defense to
serve the government in any capaci-
ty that they may see tit.

great industries; to provide for the
necessary adequate medical services
for the protection for our communi-
ties.
1T is the desire of the surgeon gen
eral of the army, insofar as the med
ical profession will consent to, and
will volunteer to do will mobilize the
medical personnel of the country for
the purpose Of our military uses.
This to be accomplished by the
medical men who are ablebodied, who
are professionally competent, and
who can leave their civil activities
without sacrificing the activities of
the community, industry or corpor-
alton, to come into the reserve corps
voluntarily and accept commissions.
This would make the tasks of the
Council of National Defense and of
the different surgeons general very
easy in taking care Of the cisil
communities, whenever there may be
in need OF competent professional as,
sistance.
1.-THE personnel division of the sur.
geon generals office has arranged, or
is about to complete the arrange.
ments in every state to have at con.
venient places examining boards for
applicants for commissions in the
medical reserve corps in the next few
months.
Some time back, especially in the
navy medical corps. it appeared that
there were not sufficient medical of
ficers for the navy's needs, but de-
spite this forecast they are in need
of more. and the officers are asking
that the state committees of the med
zeal section of the Council of Nation
al Defense assist materially to OBJ
tain the additional madicaI person

is in need Of one hundred per month.

A farmhouse of modern, convenient
design is shown in the accompanying
drawings. The rooms are placed so
as to provide for the many additions
that are common TO the farm and are
unknown in towns and cities.
The sides of the house are fin
ished with clapboards and the roof
is of the gable type shngled. There
Is a small porch in front over the en-
trance, while along the side is long
porch that can be used as the outdoor
sitting room.
On the main floor, the dining room Is
the largest room and is combined with
the kitchen. In farmhouse plan it
is necessary TO have large dining
room because at certain times of the
year a large number have to be fed.
and 1t would not be particularly con-
venient to feed them in instalments.
The combining of the dining room and
kitchen is more convenient for ham
ding a large number of hearty eaters
than a separate arrangement. This
room is made readily accessible from
both the back and front of the house.
A lorg hall reaches TO the front porch,
and the wash room for the men opens
into the dining room and also has a
door to the back porch. The door from
the side porch also opens into this
room.
In back of the combination dining
room and kitchen is a wash room,
which assists considerably in keeping
the house clean. The men can come
in from the back porch without hav-
ing to go into the kitchen and can
wash in this room and the kitchen will
not be crowded up just before meal
times when working space is most
needed.
The basement has an outside en-
trance and is equipped with a work.
shop, vegetable cellar, fruit closet.
heater room and laundry. The vege-
table and fruit rooms are placed away
from the heating apparatus as far as
possible so that they can be kept cool.
The second floor plan calls for three
bedrooms and bathroom. These are
arranged with hall opening to the
stairs so as to be convenient. There
is also another bedroom on the first
floor for the help.

thing in life would be to plan homes
for other people. She had worked
hard in all her courses, but In none
lid she gain more satisfaction, and
into none did she put more devotion
than in Professor MOrgan's course in
household architecture. In part this
was due to the fact that the course
was known to be extremely stiff" and
Professor Morgan took it for granted
that students in his class were as en-
tirely devoted to the practice of hard
and sustained mental work as he was
himself. In part it was due to the I'M
deniable fact that Professor Morgan's
personality stood out more wildly in
Theresa's consciousness than did that
of any of the other professors. 1t is
not only silly little school girls who
fall under the fascination Of favorite
teacher. Sometimes demure little
spinster graduate students like Their
esa conceive what in younger girls
would be termed a "crush" for the
favorite instructor.
Theresa had already worked hard
and many hours on this paper. Her
notes were thorough and complete.
She had merely left till the last the
final assembling and putting into type
writing of this paper OF which her
term grading was to be based. For
half hour the clicks of the typewriter
keys was spasmodic, slow and cautious,
then the keys began to hum out a
steady succession Of clicks, and before
she had worked a full hour she had
forgotten her little sugar cookies, had
forgotten her lonely existence in her
wee apartment and thought only of the
subject upon which she was writing.
The subject that had been assigned
was this: planning the five thousand
dollar cottage" In order to write the
paper Theresa had drawn many plans
so thorough and workmanly that thew
would have done credit to any profess
sional architect and she had spent so
many hours Of day dreams thinking
about this modest little cottage that
she had almost come to think of IT as
really existing.
When the clock struck ten the paper
was completed. The first draught had
been carefully copied and 1t had been
tucked in an envelope to be posted TO
Professor Morgan. Theresa read the
paper over. She was satisfied and vet
she had vague misglving. She knew
1t was more complete and showed more
originality than would the papers of
any Of the other students in the class.
Her only fault, she told herself, was
that she had put too much personality
in the paper, had perhaps shown a
little of her own desire for proprietor
ship in the ideal cottage. Moreover
she had written the piper not as stu

and other kinds of materials. besides
suitable jars for spices, teas, coffee,
etc.
The farm kitchen should be large
enough to hold dining table to serve
meals when extra help is employed.
1t should have rear or side wash
room for the men to save tracking
dirt into the kitchen.
A bathroom in farm home is
great luxury. Boys and girls hest
tate to leave the farm and go to the
city when they have such modern con-
veniences and comforts at hom>.
The floor of the bathroom should be
either tiled or covered with linoleum
The fittings of a bathroom should be
of white porcelain enamelware. The
price is governed by the SIZE weight
and quality.
A total bathroom outfit may be
bought for S75 and the work of in.
stalling is not necessarily expensive.
