Every flying man in the United
States air service has to undergo
strict medical test periodically in or.
der that he may be classified in one of
four grades. "AA" men are the few
who can stand air work at attitudes
above 10000 feet. "A" men can stand
the strain between $4,000 and 10000
feet, while the "B" class consists of
pilots for duties between 5000 and
$4,000 feet, and the &c" group includes
all airmen fit only for service between
ground level and 5000 feet. 1t has
been found that airmen of most robust
physique cannot stand the sudden
changes of air pressure entailed by
diving and rapid climbing for any
length of time, Hence the frequent
medical examinations. carried out by
experts who have drawn up care

RUINED BY SHIPYARD PAY
on Immature Boys of Seattle,
Says Doctor.

Seattle, Wash.-High wages as re-
suit of the great demand for labor in
Seattles shipyards have had disas-
trous effect on the youth of the city,
according to DR.. Lillburn Merrill, chief
diagnostician of the juvenile court
here. He says:
"The most significant fact observed
during the last year is the bad social
effect high wages have had on imma-
ture boys of fourteen TO seventeen
years of age, who have been employed
in shipyards. Time and again we have
been appealed to by fathers and moth
ers who have lost control of their sons
and investigation has shown that the
trouble started when the boys received
their first big pay check"

avoid all unpleasant conversation and

HENS HATE WET FEET

Poultry can be raised successfully
on any well-drained soil. A light
loan which will grow good grass is
well adapted for this purpose, while
a very light sandy soil, through
which the water teaches freely, VIII
stand more intensive poultry condi-
tions, but most of the green feed for
the fowls kept on such a soil will
have to be purchased. A heavy clay
or adobe soil is not as we'll adapted
to poultry raising, as such land does
not drain readily, and it much
more difficult to keep the stock
healthy. Long stationary houses, or
the intensive system, saves steps, but
it is easier to keep the birds healthy
and to reproduce the stock under the
colony system, where the birds are
allowed free range. Breeding stock,
and especially growing chickens,
should have an abundance of range,
while hens used solely for the pro
duction of market eggs may be kept
on very small area, according to
specialists of the United States De
partment OF Agriculture.

Oxford, Eng, Nov. Is, 1919.
Last night heard one Of the best
political speeches it has ever been
my fortune to listen to. delivered by
one of the greatest men in England
today, Mr.. ii. III. Asquith, the leader
OF the Liberay party. Mr.. Asquith
is a square, stocky man, with a very
red face and abundant white hair,
rather long-a man whom one would
pick out of a crowd for the expe-
rience written in his face and bear
ing rather than for any conspicuous
or SNOWY qualities.
AS everyone knows, Mr.. Asquith
was prime minister of England when
the war broke out and for two years
and half thereafter. when his gov
eminent was displaced by coalition
headed by Mr.. Lloyd George. This
coalition is composed of the Con-
servatives and of certain Liberals
who followed Lloyd George. Last
December, Immediately after the
armistice, general election was
held in which the coalition was re-

HEALTH HINTS FOR HENS

AS all poultry is susceptible to
many diseases, some of which are
highly infectious and resist all efforts
of treatment, it is suggested by spe-
cialists OF the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture that when birds
become sick it is often the best plan
to kill them The greater the num-
Der Of birds kept upon any farm or
plat of ground, and the more they
are crowded together, the more i'm
portant are the measures for exclud-
ing. eradicating. and preventing the
development of the causes of dis.
ease.

of it's opportunity, for the British

of the country to know why.
Mr. Asquith last night, speaking
to the Liberal club Of the University,

was sincere and dignifed, did not
stoop to personal abuse or soar into
platitudes, but he did point out very
logically the dangers of the present
situation from the standpoint of the
British public.

much the same as that with which
we have been troubled in Siberia
British military and naval forces
have been carrying on unofficial and
sporadic campaigns against the Boil
Sheviki on various fronts. The
speaker declared that only two poll
cies could be considered at all log

with every resource at the natl )n'S
command; or to consider the prob
lem as one for Russia to settle, and
to keep out Of it. Either is intelli-
gible. Under present circumstances
he favors the latter But, as we

In conclusion, Mr.. Asquith men

are prominent-the future of pOlit-
ical parties. Many people, he said,
nowadays honestly believe that the

which have been largely built up through the
existence of tributary forests. The official sta
tistics before the war indicated that about no.
coo persons were employed wood-workers,
but this did not include many thousands of
farmers and peasants who worried part time in
the woods and mills, or participated in the
home wood industries.
France has not only the problem of secur-
ing wood supplies for reconstruction and for
her current Industrial and domestic use, but
she must rebuild her forests. This will involve
in many cases extensive seeding and planting,
followed by careful protection and intelligent
tending. Oftentimes this will require annual
OUTLAWS of money with material returns long
deferred.
THE United States in joining France and
her allies in the fighting, required and used
large quantities of materials from the French
forests. The depletion of these resources in
which we have had to participate, under the
pressure of war, presents to every American
who appreciates the great sacrifices of France
in the war a powerful appeal TO facilitate the
acquisition of materials for reconstruction and
also TO contribute in some practical way to
the rehabilitation Of the French forests"

Ii is easy to see why those with a substi-

how.Davenporters can take delight in this sor-

The purity of Rock Islands supply.
Time was when this city had its troubles,
but not since IT began using a mechanical

the same as Davenports, only probably safer.
Davenport gets its water not far from the
Iowa shore, while the intake for this city is
well out in the channel north of the island so
that It draws from near the center of the

It Isn't the source, however, but the treat

A serious problem for France is where she

the population is dependent for their livelihood

zine Of Washington. Not only at the front in

France will thus be unable for decade
OF two to supply from it's own forests more
than a limited part Of the timber needed for
reconstruction and for current and domestic
uses. The most serious consequences of the
cutting of the French forests is to be found in
the effect on the local industries, the loss OF
employment to peasants and others who de-
pend on the forest and woodworking enter
prises for a part of their livelihood, and the
setback to hundreds Of communities
