SAVES COST AND MATERIALS
Method of Making Laminated Gun.
stocks Has Been Developed at
Madison, Laboratory.

Madison, visa method Of making
Illuminated gunstocks was developed at
the forest products laboratory here,
which would, without reducing the
strength, permit the use of the small
pieces of walnut not suitable for sin
gle piece stocks. This would facili-
tate production and result in appre-
cable saving in costs and material.
The application of Illuminated con-
struction to many articles of trade
is development worthy of close
study. Shoe lasts, billiard balls, sad
die trees, oars and paddles, tanks,
barrels and kegs, and various parts
of vehicles and agricultural nipple
ments may possibly be constructed
with Illuminated wood.

San Antonio, Texas, Man Finds Oil on
InaccurateIy Measured School
Lands.

San Antonio, Texas.-Inaccuraci
in the measurements of school lands
in Texas may bring fortune to A. P.
Barrett Of this city, who has filed for
oil and gas leases on 1000 acres in the
Ranger and Burkburnett districts, it
became known today.
Mr.. Barrett has arranged with a
development company of Oklahoma
City to take over the leases when they
are granted for the purpose Of de-
veloping them.
When the surveys were made many
years ago rawhide tape lines were
used in measuring them and In wet
weather the line stretched with the
result that tracts described as con-.
tanning $40 acres really contain as high
sometimes as 300 acres.

OVERSEE
is NAVY ORDER
Government Aviators Lay Plans
to Be First to Cross
in Air.
PLANES TESTED ON COAST
Picked Men and All Material Arc
Being Chosen for Attempt at
Reconsideration viii Be
Ripe About June.

Washington-Navy aviation experts
are planning a flight across the At
lantic. Commander John n. Towers
was ordered to take charge Of 'the
development Of plans and assembly of
material and personnel for the pro-
posed transatlantic flight"
Commander Towers has been In
charge of the naval reserve flying
corps and is considered an expert of
the service in this branch.
Much attention has been given to
the project by the navy and recent
reports of similar plans by the British
naval aviation service have lent great
impetus to the work on this side.
The navy department during the war
developed a monster seaplane equipped
with three Liberty motors, giving 1T
about 1000 horsepower. This machine
has as its body a substantially built
boat and has carried as high as fifty
one persons in flights of considerable
length. 1t has been tested out along
the Atlantic coast with great success
Land to Land Trip in 20 Hours.
When the project of transatlantic
flight was urged here by Major-Gen.
Brancker Of the British air service
last year it was brought out that the
shortest distance would be from New
foundIand to the Irish coast. This
is approximately 1000 miles, and given
a plane capable of a sustained speed
of 100 miles an hour it could be made
in twenty hours. So far as known,
however, no plane has yet been built
which could make the trip without
stopping for refueling.
The route most generally favored in
naval circles, however, is by way of
the Azores, with stop at these
islands for fuel and oil. This would
make the first leg 1900 miles and the
final lap 700 Some officers favor a
halfway stop at sea to refuel from a
destroyer if it is considered impossible
to make the trip in a single flight.
In a general way it has been said
heretofore that the crew of any plane
attempting to cross the Atlantic would
be composed of at least five men, two
pilots to provide relief at the levers,
two mechanics to care for the engines
and a navigating officer to chart the
course.
Conditions Ripe About June.
AS to the weather it was said that
probably not before June would condi-
lions become stable enough to warrant
an attempt. Another quiet period oc-
ours in early fall. 1t is regarded as
doubtful that all preparations could be
made by the summer period, although
this is one of the things Commander
Tower will have to determine by care
full study.
While there is a good deal of friend
ly rivalry with the British govern
.ment over making the first transatlan-
tic flight, it is said that either nation
could count upon the cooperation of
the other. AS the prevailing winds
are from west to east in the Atlantic
the chances favor an attempt from this
side.

Disastrous Fire

Natchitochians were startled at
midnight Saturday by . fire alarm
and though many rushed to the
scene on Normal hill it all went so
fast that serious damage resulted.
The barn, that the night watch
man had inspected on his rounds,
barely an hour before. was in . big
blaze when he discovered it, and
tho he gave the alarm at once, the
fire had gained such Roadway, that
before they could be rescued, two
horses, four mules and three beef
cattle were burned with much hay
and other stuff, tho the truck,
farm implements, some corn and
barley were saved.
There is some insurance but
whether it will cover the loss or
not it has not been possible to
learn, or as to the origin Of the
fire, which was supposed to have
started from spontaneous combus-
lion more likely than in any other
way.
