Deaf Mutes Not Good Flyers.

Contrary to report which has been
widely scattered, deaf mutes do not
make good airmen, as has been shown
by recent tests made by the war de-
partment, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. This branch of the govern
ment is endeavoring to ascertain the
source of the false report, which has
led many young men to seek enlist
ment as flyers. In examining num-
Der of deaf mutes it has been found
that they are lacking i.a an adequate
sense of equilibrium.

Terms of Peace

Ii Kaiser Wilhelm came to
ME and asked for terms "f
peace I'd say. With you i do
agree-this blamed old war
should cease. But when it
comes to making terms, the
blue prints that you ask, my
rusty brainpan sort O squlr1ns,
and balks before the task. I'd
like to hear from many lands,
from France, and Belgium, too,
from children who have lost
their hands through orders
sprung by you. I'd like to hear
from British towns where
sleeping babes were killed; and
from the traveller who browns,
torpedoed, kaiserbilled. Alas,
alas, the dead can't speak from
out their martyr graves, and
neither can the sick and weak
you drove away as slaves. |
cannot hear from that brave
nurse who fell at your behest
but Capt. Fryatt's dying curse
makes peace bunk seem a jest.
Before l make a plan with you
TO shelve the battle blade I'd
ike to hear a word or two from
Ebert Hubbard's shade. I'd like
to have you walk with me and
see the wreck of France before
we soak the snickersnee and
give away the lance. I'd have
you read the daily list of BROTH
ers and of sons who die because
of you, I wist-you and your
vandal Huns. I fear if we make
peace today I'd soon know I
had sinned for you'd start out
again to slay when you'd re-
gained your wind"

the employ of the War Department,

says he owns real estate in Califor-
MIA under the Russian name, which
also appears in degrees conferred on
him by colleges and universities. and

WARD NAMED T0EXTEND
COMMUNITY BUYING
Organization Specialist to Go Over
First Route to Get
tysburg, Pa.

Edward j. Ward, specialist in comnu-
nifty organization for the United States
bureau of education, has been detailed
by the commissioner of education to the
Post Office Department to perfect and
extend the community buying movement
which was recently started in Washing
ton by the Park View Community Cen
ter and is looked upon as a model plan
for reducing food prices.
What Mr.. Ward has to do is to organ
ize the "other end Of the line"-the rural
centers of supply-to correspond with
the urban distributing point at the Park
View School The city terminal and de-
pot already exists; Mr.. Ward must
create rural terminals at which the
motor trucks which transport the food
stuffs can regularly call and obtain an
unfailing and unvarying supply Of eat
ables.
Going Over First Line.
The Post Office Department, supply
ing the motor power, has seen that the
country end Of the line needs the organ
ization and maintenance Of these truck
service stations Mr.. Ward will leave
tomorrow morning over the truck route
to Gettysburg, Pa, for the purpose OF
establishing the first of these necessary
series of stations, under the direction OF
an agent in the country corresponding
to J. G. McGrath, community secretary
here in the city.

Tars Supporters District.

The reason the Gettysburg Washing
ton route was chosen first is that it taps
the congressional district of Represent
ative NJ. Clyde Kelly OF Pennsylvania, a
man keenly interested in the community
plan. He assisted the Park View people
to organize, is an honorary member OF
their association. and wants the first
line Of daily direct connection to termi-
nate in his part of the country.
The possibilities of the plan, once
properly amplified, are almost boundless
it is pointed out. especially when the
fact is taken into consideration that In
the near future the Army will turn over
to tho post, Office people some 10000 big
motor trucks.
MIR. Wards latest official detail from
his bureau was to organize tho public
school machinery of Bridgeport, Conn.
as an agency in the settlement Of the
big munitions strike in that city.
