plane is one Of the most important
things about his work. BY this time
he will have learned what tools to use
In working about an airplane and what
tools not to use how to make wire
loops and how not to make them. He
will know what makes 1an airplane fly,
and, above all, he will have learned
/ that the pilots life is in the hands of
the mechanic, because upon the proper
and careful rigging Of an airplane de-

learn about prOpellers, why, when they
rotate in the air, they travel forward,
and he will learn how to take care of
them and to repair them. Next he will
learn something about the motive pow

There are flying officers ut each of the
mechanics schools. They are there
for the purpose of flying the planes
which the mechanics work on, in order
that the fighting service squadrons at
the front may be simulated and that
the mechanics may be given their final
training. The airplane mechanic Is
assigned to theoretical service SQUAD

two weeks doing nothing but the work

diagnosed and remedied and soon the

ieager to contribute to a musical pro
gram Of unusual merit, greeted the
parents and friends Of the Younger
Pupils of Mrs. Waltef Denton Wednes-
day night at the spring recital in
which this class IS annually presented
at tn home Of Mrs. Denton, las North
Twelfth street.
The children ranging in ages from
six to twelve years rendered their Sc
leetions with self poise and a finish
Iof execution and expression. Each per
former did so well, it would be diff
cult to give one more credit than the
others. The guests were particularly
impressed with Maxine Glover's inter
probation of the ever favorite Humor-
esque. Ethelwynne Kelley was espe-
eially artistic in the Trout Stream,
and decidedly clever in her recitation
numbers. Don Kelley, three years old,
made gallant little figure and won
the hearts of his hearers, when he re-
cited a little patriotic poem, aeeompan-
led by the flag salute. Jeanelle Van
dervort sang with unusual sweetness
~ Ann the Captain of the Broomstiek
Cavalry y by Carrie Jacobs Bond. Mar
garet Steiner gave an extremely clever
Interpretation of 'Blaek Joe. " Donald
Allison gave selections from the Bo-
hemian Girl with exceptional interest
and expression. Ebert Laehele showed
marked artistic and musical ability.
After the children received their beau
tiful flowers, little Frances Martin,
six years old, stepped to the piano and
played the Star Spangled Banner, with
the children and audience standing,
making an impressive tableau.
