CAPT. CARuTHERS BEATS
 ALL BUILDING RECORDS
In Construction of March Aviation
 Field at Riverside, Cal.

The aviation number of the River side, Cal, Enterprise, just issued, bears on it's first page an excellent picture of Capt. William H. Caruthers, Norwich boy, under whose super vision the March aviation field has been constructed.
 The Enterprise says in part:
 To Captain W H. Caruthers com manding officer at March field through out its entire construction period. was assigned the task of completing the contract within 50 days, and the con- struction work was completed on Wed nesday, May 18th, a head of schedule time, breaking all records that had been established for similar work in cantonment and other camp construc tion for the army throughout the Unit ed States. From the moment he reached Riverside and came in con- tact with the Chamber of Commerce, Captain Caruthers gave every moment of his available time to the carrying out of the construction details of the camp. He worked night and day. In the early days of the work he was known on many occasions to be busily occupied at his headquarters in the Glenwood Mission inn {where he made his office prior to the opening of the deld) until the small hours Of the | morning, only to start at daybreak again for the site of the proposed | camp.

 of foodstuffs, the principal rations con
 sumed in one day. will show: 1 59(
 pounds beef, 300 pounds ham, 1,50(
 pounds potatoes, 64 gallons vegetables l 125 pounds butter. 300 gallons milk
 300 loaves bread. 400 pies, 900 cook

 coffee, 80 gallons soup, 300 pounds
 sugar 40 gallons pudding, 100 pound!
 onions, cases oranges, 50 pounds
 cheese, 23 gallons tomatoes. 50 pounds
 rolled oats.
 There are to be accommodations fo
 1000 aviators who will be thorough,
 trained to do battle in the air with tn, Huns.
 Riverside regarding the acquisition of the aviation field as the biggest ac . complishment of the year, realizes it great responsibility and is anxious l. do whatever it can for the flying sol . diers. some 800 of whom are already il training there.
 Captain Caruthers' new orders hay taken him to Arcadia, a city near Lo Angeles. where a balloon school is t
 be constructed, though he still has al eye on the March field, flying to River
 side for that purpose twice a week.
