Wound Stripes for AirpIanes.

While so much talk is goig on in
this country about the use of gold and
silver chevrons for our men from over
seas ard at home, it is interesting to
note that in Italy the flying men late
in the war inaugurated a system of
marking airplanes that had been in
battle. On the starboard bow (if one
may so designate the right forward
side of tie fuseiage) of every plane hit
was painted in silver leaf a slight bar,
or chevron. for each bullet hole found
IN the machine.
A recent photograph from an Italian
airdrome shows seaplane 734-L3 with
six such wound stripes" but the rec
ord is said to be held by a land ma
chine bearing no less than y painted
indications of the accuracy of the enc

Judge Lands Holds Edward n. Troost

spiracy Charge.

Chicago, April 9.-Federal Judge

Consumers Packing company came to
a dramatic close when the judge held
to the federal grand jury Edward II.
TrOOst, Oak Park monument dealer
and the new president of the COM
pany; his fiancee, Miss Ella May
Terry, 81 Cornelia avenue, a cabaret
singer, whom he held as a witness, and
three stock statesmen. Then the Judge
set May 6 for the day when the Cen
trail Trust company, which he ap-
pointed receiver, should make TO him
report on the progress made in dis
covering some of the SS07,0 taken
in by the company through its sale of
stock. The hearing may be reopened
at that time.
The charge against TroOst was con-
spring to use the United States mails
TO further a scheme to defraud. His
bail was fixed at $4,000. The three
statesmen, John H. Haskell, Daniel E.
held on the same charge and in the
same bonds. The latter were held at
the request of Joseph Weissenbaeh,
attorney for the stockholders.
The judge, in holding Troost, in
formed him that various statements
made by him from the witness stand
had given rise in him to the belief
that he was not telling the truth, and
also referred to a letter written by
TroOst to a former friend, Frank
Terry, In which Terry was asked to
invest his money in the Consumers
Packing company. Several state
ments In this letter, according to the
stockholders attorneys, were grossly
misleading.
