.,1ARE NOW IN FRANCE
Present Program Provides for
Training Of $4,000 AViators

= Washington, Oct. 1.-THE present
srmy aviation program contemplates
wtralning $4,000 aviators, This be-
came known yesterday when testi-
mony by Colonel H. H. Arnold, as
given to the house appropriations
0cfnnlitte was made public Col Arnold,
who appeared before the committee
together with Major General Kenly,
chief of the army air division, told the
committee that 1000 f1iers have al
ready been trained. During the testi-
mony it came out that there are
{ &, 800 American ffiers in France and
q 6,21o in this country.
Revelations of a "scandaP' in the
y purchase of cameras for the airplanes
We're made when it was testified that
#Some ono in the aviation department
bad been connected with q camera
B6mpany which obtained contracts. It
Ywas implied that Charles e. Hughes
3 is looking into the matter.
q 1t was shown that General Pershing
u has such faith in the value of the mill
tary balloon that he doubled his
orders for them. It also developed
that Sandy Hook probably will be used
Il for a repair depot for coast defense
airplanes.
Z asked Colonel Arnold if there was any
difficulty in obtaining candidates for
Tiers commission. The officer an
swered that every time a need for
cadets came up more appeared than
could be taken caro- of. He said that
none, except a. few men from the
ranks had been taken in since last
L ecember.
Colonel Arnold said that the army
slan was, as far as possible. to get
university men, and this was a recent
ruling of the war department.. En-
listed men were allowed to enter, and
j 500 of them had qualified, he said.
Testifying on the Division of Mill
tary Aeronautics, Colonel Arnold said
that there are now 80 balloon COM
panieS organized, and that 329 bal
looms had been produced to date.
These, he said. would take care of
1s2 companies. He said there were
two balloons to a company.
: The disclosures concerning the
cameras came out when Colonel Ar
mold gave tho following testimony:
Camera bought Not the Best.
When the Photographic section
first started in operation there was
competition between three different
firms, but for some reason or other
uRhere was some breath of scanda!
and that caused great delay in re-
ceiving equipment for several
months. The Motlau Camera Com

You ask how can the WheatIey-
Provident Hospital Auxiliary serve a
complete dinner including turkey with
cranberry sauce, two or three Vese-
tables, mince and pumpkin pie and
drinks for 35 cents? The answer is
easy. Everything is donated. Chick
ems, ducks and turkeys are being con-
tributed by friends of the hospital,
both in Kansas City and other cities,
and vegetables are being given by the
sack and the only thing the splendid
women Of the WheatIey-P roVident
Hospital Auxiliary have to do Is to
prepare it In that appetizing way that
made their last dinner such a famous
and overwhelming uceess. This time
they will be positively prepared to
serve 500 guests.

1t is in vain that we search the
columns of the perjudiced daily press
for information concerning the move
ments of the Negro troops now in
France. Outside of a few dis here"
jokes, we hear little of those brave
black boys who have surpassed all
others in their sacrifices upon the al
tar of democracy.
In all the bond drives and in all the
charitable war work the willing col
ored workers are "jimcrowed' off to
themselves and told to make a show
ing for themselves. Then when the
fine showing is made no public atten-
ton is given to it, no public mention
of it is made along with the fulsome
praise heeped upon the different
guilds of the elect. That's democracy,
too.

 An official of the bureau stop ped in local cafe Monday morn ing and ordered a cantsloupe. He was served with melon of the grade known as pony mel ons, or melons below the stand ard size. and was charged the modest price of 35 cents.
 Pony melons" are bought wholesale in crates containing A melons At the price of the lo- cal cafe, the retail price for a crate would be SIS 90.
 However, southern Arkan sas melons of the same grade were selling or the Kansas City and St. Louis markets Monday for S2 50 to 5 5 crate, and freight had been paid on them from southern Arkansas to the more northern cities. The melons thus cost the cafe proprietor in the neighborhood of , cents each and were retaileo at profit of 600 per cent or more.
 The high cost of cooking in gradients, the official pointed out could not be given as an alibi. as the only requisite to serve mel on is 10 cut it in half and take Fout the seed.

To The People of Arkansas

Every body uses artificial light and power but the Bureau of Conservation of the United States Fuel Administration warns the Public that they must not be mis used. For light and power come from fuel, and fuel must not be wasted. as it is one of the great essentials for the winning of the war.
 General plans for the conser- vation of light ard power have been form ulated. to be consider ed under the following heads:
 1. Elimination of uneconomical isolated plants. A ton of coal burned in large central station will produce a plant four times as much electric energy as if burned in the average small plant.
 }. The application of the skip stop to street railways and the regulation of car beating and lighting. Half the number of steps will save 10 to 15 per cent of power. and many cities have adopted the system. 5. Economy in utilization of power and light in factories. in which many methods of conser, vation are suggested.
 4. Utilization of excess water power and interconnection of power-systems, opening up al most limitless possibilities for future development. ,. Limiting the production ot power to the most efficient plants available and cutting out the in efficient plants.
 6. Economy in the refrigerat- ing and ice manufacturing m indus try, by reducing the number oi plants, producing white ol opaque ice, and allotting only 2 definite amount of coal to eact plant
 All unnecessary and merely ornamental lighting must be eliminated, now or later. This is a patriotic duty.
