PLANES Off ON
SECOND FLIGHT
UP RIO CRANDE
Regular Patrol Of River is Es-
tablished Between Here
and Laredo.
BAN ON JOY-RIDINC

Two army airplanes that made the
first round trip between Brownsville
and Laredo from Monday to Wednes-
day, left again this morning for a
second patrol up and down the Rio
Grande over the 225-mile stretch of
frontier.
The ships got away from the avia-
tion field at the city limits on St.
Charles street at 1890 o'clock Fri
day morning. The same personnel
is making the second flight: Lieu
tenant Anderson plotting one plane
with Lieutenant Crocker, flight com
mander, in the observers seat; Lieu
tenant McCune plotting the second
plane, with Lieutenant Jett, assistant
intelligence officer at Fort Brown, as
observer. Lieutenant Jett was for
merly in the air service.
The planes will make one landing
at McAllen and a second at Fort
Ringgold, half way to Laredo, where
they will stay overnight. Carrier
pigeons will be sent back announcing
their arrival at both places. The
flight to Laredo from Rio Grande
City will be made in one jump, Sat
urday morning. The planes will re-
main at Laredo over Saturday night,
will return 60 Ringgold next day and
finish the flight to Brownsville Mon
day, arriving here about noon If not
delayed.
As far up at Fort Ringgold there
are plenty of landing places from
which the planes could take the air
again If forced to descend en- route.
Between Rio Grande City and Lar
edo, however, there are a hundred
possible places to make landings, but
only four clear fields that are large
enough to enable ship to hop off
again after descending and making
repairs. Through that rough coun-
try the aviators have to trust to luck
that nothing will bring them down.
In justice to the aviators The Her
aid wishes to apologize for speaking
of the planes circling over Fort
Brown as ''stunting." Stunts are for
hidden TO aviators on regular duty of
this sort. Steep banking-that turn
ing on wing tip at an angle that
from the ground looks hair-raising-
does not constitute stunt, the avia-
tors say. Neither does swooping
down and "zooming" aloft again.
The planes are two Of squadron
of four, commanded by Major Tobin,
that are to be stationed at Browns
vile and Laredo to patrol the river,
according to a Washington dispatch
published Wednesday. Airplanes
overhead will be daily and common
place sight in Brownsville soon and
airplane' neck will add itself to the list
of local epidemic diseases.
Flight fever on the part of civilians
has already broken out. The aviators
are sorry to say that they know of
no remedy for this that is available
for civilian use. Their instructions
positively forbid their taking up any
civilian whatsoever, no matter how in
fluential or charming he or she may
be.

ness of the present German govern
ment il unconcealed in peace confer

pressed that the signing Of the peace
treaty may mean little more than the
signing by the bolsheviki at Brest-
Litovsk did. The defiant tone Of
the German note which grudgingly
agreed to sign without reservations
created an unfavorable impression
in the various peace delegations and
this is seemingly intensified by the
delay Of the Germans in arranging to
carry out their promises.
On the advice Of the Council Of
Four the Chinese delegates agreed to
sign the treaty unreservedly with the
understanding that a protocol later
will be added stating they signed with
the understanding that Japan return
the Shantung concessions to China
within stipulated time.

HOME INVENTORY

How many housewives have at
hand a carefully compiled inventory of
their household goods? Probably not
one in a hundred. Yet such an inven-
tory protects the householder in settle
ments with Insurance COMPANIES and
helps the adiuster materially in max
ing a just and fair settlement In fact,
in case of bad fire, where everything
is lost it may be worth hundreds of
dollars to the insured, according to the
amount of the policy
The compiling of such an inventory
should be solely the duty uf the house :
keeper, who knows exactly the value
of the different articles and what il
would cost to replace them.
Inventory Lists may be purchased for
this purpose and special headings are
given for books linen, pictures, silver
ware, jeWelrT. china, glass and mis-
cellaneous articles. Also columns are
provided on each page for The date OF
purchase and description.
You Will be greatly surprised if
YOU do the work systematically ana
put down carefully every single article
