WORKERS DON'T WANT
EMPl OVERS TO BUILD

The building situation is getting
desperate in Duluth when it becomes
necessary to appeal to large employ
ers of labor to build homes for their
workmen. 1t is one thing to build
homes for working people. but it is
quiet another matter to get them to
live in them.
American working men are getting
more and more averse to living in
homes furnished by their employers.
1t is a species of Prussianism, this
always doing things for labor.
The big thing would be to give
laborers a wage over and above the
cost of living and they will build their
own homes with their surp,uses. The
chief ambition of every working man
is TO own a home Of his home.
But another big thing will be to
get public officials to understand that
so long as spectators can hold idle
Of real estate property will always
, stand as a bar against any sort of
building operations.
1t is true Of course that building
costs are high just now and it will be
. long time before they are any less
/ but the city holds the key to the sit
! uatiop, and the first good thing it's
| officials can do is to boost valuations

! low. Real estate men will not agree
! with working men on such a PROPOSE
! ton, but their interests are inconse-
: quentlal compared with that Of the
whole community.

A machine that enables you to expe-
rience all the physical sensations of
flying and to test your fitness for avia-
ton without once losing your hold
upon the earth has just been adopted
by the war department for use in
training its pilots. writes Frederic j.
Haskin in Chicago Daily News. II
is probable that this device. known
as the Ruggles ORIGINATOR, will be a
feature of all flying schools and will
enable civilians as well as soldiers to
determine without risking their lives
whether they are at for flying.
The Ruggles machine does for the
beginning aviator about what a walk
ing chair does for an infant learning
to toddle-it enables him to go through
the motions without risklng a tumble.
One of these o%rientators was off,
cially demonstrated In Washington, ID.
c., the other day. The machine con-
sists of two sets OF steel rings. the
largest one of which Is II feet in
diameter. One ring revolves In the
perpendicular plane. The rings are
driven by small motors so that they
revolve within each other. The boat"
In which the pupil sits Is suspended
from the inner ring and Its move
ments may be controlled by either set
of rings. The motors which control
the boat may be operated from with
In by the pupil or from the outside
by the instructor.

The prospective pilot seats himself

with his hand on the control. along
side the machine. The instructor can
put his pupil through all the motions
Of a machine In the air by operating
the controls, which are connected to
the machine by means Of wire bat
teries. After several demonstrations
Of looping the loop. dipping. gliding
and v%olplaning. the pupil Is permit
ted to operate the machine by the
controls In the boat. The test IL
even more severe than that of actual
flying. II the neophyte has anything
the matter with his heart. nerves or
stomach which will d~isqualify him for
flying the ORIGINATOR will bring the fact
out at once.
This new mechanical device is to be
introduced into the course of training
at the various flying fields and will
completely revolutionize the wartime
system of training aviators. The Rug
giles machine fills the gap between the
ground school and actual flying, thus
giving the cadet the "feel of the ship"
on the ground before going into the
air. Army officers say that the num-
Der OF casualties among cadets In train
ing is certain to be greatly reduced by
the use of the machine, as will the sub
sequent destruction of equipment.
The ORIGINATOR will not teach a man
actually to fly, but IL will undoubtedly
be of great assistance to the embryo
flyer by developing his senses for fly
ing. 1t will also make the task of his
instructor easier and less dangerous.

pilots In the air service have been
killed while %instructing. In most cases
the crashes were not due to defects

GLASS ASKS FUNDS

Elmer : y Fund In Or

Not Be Curtailed

Washington, March 17-Sec-
rotary Glass has asked Presi-
dent Wilson to set aside more
than $3,000,000 from the pres
idential war emergency fund to
cover the cost of continued op.
Grafton of the war risk insur-
ance bureau for the next few
months, until Congress can
remedy its recent failure to APP
propriate funds for the bureau.
The President has not yet given an
answer and if he does not make the
money available the activities of the
war risk bureau may be greatly cur
tailed.
1t was officially stated today the
bureau has funds to cover allotment
during the remainder of March and
during April. This really means March
allowances, since the checks are dis
tributed one month late. Unless some
available funds are found by early in
May allotment and allowance checks
may be greatly delayed
The funds asked of the President
would be spent only for administra
tive expenses of physical operations
of the bureau and not for actual COW
ering of allotment and allowance
checks. With approximately $1,000 en-
p1oyes the bureaus pay roll now is
more than s1,000,000 a month. About
100000 checks for allotments, allow
ances. insurance and compensation now
are mailed monthly amounting in the
aggregate to more than $4,000, 900
Nearly half of this sum comes from the
war department. and represents soldiers
allotments. There is no shortage in
the funds for allotments since this is
deducted from soldiers pay, but the
funds available for allowances added to
the allotments are limited.
Secretary Glass explained today that
although he has not specifically rec
commended early converting of Congress
to deal with this situation, he has pre-
sented certain facts" in regard to the
governments financial situation, from
which the President may make his own
learned today other cabinet members
have cabled the President reports OF
serious conditions in their Departments
caused by failure of Congress to APP
propriate funds.

it was the solemn obligation" of the gov

Colonel Woods said 1t was not intended

the work, but to use the skeleton organ

He declared nothing could be accom-

WARRANT CHARGES
DR.. WILKINS WITH
MURDER OF WIFE
Long Beach Physician Dis
appears Following Dis
covery of Wife's Will
Bequeathing 100000
sy Asseelatsd Pros.


Long Beach. n. y, March ia
warrant for the arrest OF DIR. wal
ter X. wilkins Of this place, chare-
ing the physician with the MUIR
der Of his wife mt their home here
February -, was issued tonight by
Justice Of the Peace Coleman Mt
the instance of District Attorney
Weeks Of Nassau county. A gen
eral search is being made for DIR.
wilkins. who is said to have dis
appeared yesterday morning.
DIR. wilkins had been questioned several
times In connection with the murder, and
last week gave out a statement asserting
that he was suspected unjustifiably OF
having committed the crime.
Mr. Weeks said tonight that DIR. Wikina
had been under suspicion since shortly
after the murder but that no motive
which might have led him to murder his
wife was discovered until yesterday morn
ing, when Lewis j. Friess, formerly at
torney for Mrs Wilkins. apprised him
of the discovery of document purport-
ing to be the will OF Mrs. wilkins, which
bequeather nearly 100000 to the doctor
An earlier will, at first believed to be
the only one in existence, left virtually
all of the estate to charity
According to Mr.. Weeks. the doctor was
last heard from yesterday morning, when
DIR. Friess informed him by telephone
that the new document had been found,
and asked him to attend conference
with Mr.. Weeks. The doctor failed to
appear for the conference.
The new found document, Mr. Weeks
said, bore the name of Mrs. Wilkins, but
was not signed by witnesses, and there
is a question whether it would be ad-
mitted in court
EXHIBITS BROKEN HAT
When Mrs. wilkins was murdered on
February q at her country home here,
DR. wilkins told the authorities she had
been slain by burglars. whom he and
Mrs. Wilkins had surprised. He exhibited
broken derby hat which he said had
been smashed when one of the burglars
struck him on the head.
First suspicion was directed toward DR..
wilkins, Mr.. Weeks said, when the doctor
led detectives to a trunk and told them
he believed they would find Mrs. Will
kins' will inside. Although the trunk had
been searched twice without discovery of
the document. third search revealed it.
Later Mrs. wilkins jewelry was found
in a vase which had been examined care
fully by detectives, and ST. was found in
a drawer which, upon first examination,
contained no money.
DIR. wilkins was Mrs. Wilkins third
husband, and she his third wife Mr.
Weeks said he had obtained from the
doctor a history of his life. showing that
he had been born in Gorham, Me-. and
had lived at various times in Detroit
Kalamazoo. Mich, San Francisco and
Los Angeles.
His first wife. who. Mr.. Weeks said,
had divorced him, was Grace Mansfield

Weeks continued, was Susanna kirkland.
