"Well, am coming, amt II" His
tone was that Of a person unjustly at

II never did see such a boy!" Mar
garet exclaimed.
"You say that every day." Penrod re-
torted plaintively.
"Penrod! Are you coming?"
"Yes. I'm ready" he announced un-
eXpectedly, having managed, with his
hands behind him, to conceal the bot
tie beneath his pillow.

Speeding from the table at the first
possible moment, he returned to his

struck with an unnamed fear. Katie,

Friends of Mr.. Charles D. Gray
and his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. c. S.
Gray, will be glad TO learn that the
young man is showing Improvement
in the seriousi Illness with which he
has been effected for the past three
weeks and for which he has been
receiving treatment at the Touro
Infirmary in New Orleans. Mrs.
Gray, who is with her son in New
Orleans, has written Mr.. Gray that
the exact nature of their sons trou-
bic has not been determined but that
It has caused intense suffering from
pains in his back. A letter from
Rev. C. C. Weir of New Orleans,
formerly pastor of the Methodist
Church here, states that he has made
inquiries about the young man and
has called upon him but that illness
in his own family has prevented him
from offering the active assistance
he wished to give. Rev. Weir stated
that his family are recovering from
their illness.

Landing Field For Avia-
tors Selected On
North Front Street
Patriotic Properly Owners
Gladly Furnish Gratis Land
Needed For Air Craft Sta
lion

A field on North Front Street
near the City Pumping Station has
been selected by 1t Oh. de Bony de
la Vergne at the most suitable
place offered at this point for the
purpose of providing landing sta
ton for graduate aviators who are
being trained in the Government
Aviation School at Lake Charles.
The patriotic owners have signified
their willingness to turn their prop
ertv over to the Government for the
purpose outlined without charge.
This site was selected from several
offered in Morgan City and Ber-
wick. Lieutenant de la Vergne is
a pilot-aviatcr from the French
front and has been appointed to sell
ect suitable sites for landing sta
tions. He was accompanied on his
trip from Lake Charles to Baton
Rouge via New Orleans by Mr.. Her
bert Bayliss, secretary of the Lake
Charles Chamber Of Commerce and
by Mr.. Thomas Landry also of that
city. They passed through Morgan
City Tuesday and took up the sub
ject matter of their visit with Sec
rotary Palmer of the Morgan City
and Berwick Chamber of Commerce
who gathered the data wanted to
present to them on their arrival here
today.
In company with City Engineer j.
H. Evans and Secretary Palmer the
aviation field visitors were conveyed
over local territory by Miss Leta
Prohaska who contributed her car
and her charming services for the
trip. Mayor Shannon was consult
ed by the party and assured them Of
his cooperation in any thing they
decide upon.
1t. de la Vergne advised the inter-
ested Morgan City citizens to pro-
coed without delay in the preparing
of the field for use. He said that
certain run ways would need to be
marked off by white lines on the
field and that the surface would
have to be generally leveled. It was
estimated that about 500 would put
the field in perfect condition for
use. He was exceedingly compli-
mentary as to the spirit and readi-
ness with which his proposal were
met here and assured the escourting
party that Morgan City and Berwick
showed a cooperative spirit which
was not met with in every town.
Selection of field for the use of
government aviators for war train
ing purposes is expected to finally
lead to established airplane routes
for mail delivery. This is under
consideration by the government.
