SMITH CDINCHES TT.
Harry Ginsberg's Boys Trim Bartlett
 in Important Game Today.

The championship of the play grounds was practically decided rhis morning at Walnut Hill Park when the Smith team doWned the Bartlett nine, 17 to 8, in a game that was filled with thrills. The Bartlett team started off at fast clip and soon led with four runs to 1. However, the supposedly stonewall defense of the Bartlett boys weakened and the Smith team took advantage of this. Harold Grace, the sturdy left-felder of the victors, hit for two home runs besides pulling off some spectacular catches in the field. He was easily the "bg noise' for the winners. h the other game the East street play grounds team downed the Burrltt nine, 26 to 5.

Announcement of the opening OF big
technical trade centers. as part of the
extensive educational program of the
American expeditionary forces. has
been made by the Army educational
mission A soldier, in order to take
advantage of this opportunity to
learn, will have to promise to stay
in school for one year or his recon-
mendation to attend will not be
granted.
There are three classes of soldier
students who will be educated under
this plan. The illiterate. who will be
sent to a beginners school; the high
school graduate will be given an op-
portunity to go to finishing schools
and the college man will be sent to
q European university. where he will
receive instruction equivalent to the
best universities in this country.
Training in Mechanical Trades
Training in mechanical trades is to
be offered at the Army's plants at
NerneuiI, Nevers, Romorantin, Geivres,
Mehun, Decize and Sougy. In the
great railroad shops at Nevers. SOL
dier students will be taught the
metal trades in classes of 500 men.
The machine shop equipment at
Nevers is said to be unsurpassed by
any similar shop in the world.

tional commission, LOO students will
be accommodated at one time in the
motor reconstruction park at YER
neuil. Machine shop trades. tool
making, sheet metal work and Oxy-
acetylene welding will be taught. The
thousands of motor cycles. trucks and
autos now in the park will be used
for instruction. The same course will
be given at the motor reconstruction
park at Romorantfn, where 1,500
students will be accommodated.
Other Branches to Be Taught.
Courses in telephone repairing and
operating wireless. electric motor
repair, armature winding and repair
of optical instruments win be given
to $50 students at Gievres. At Nehun,
woodworking, carpentry, printing and
optical instrument repair work and
laundering will be taught. Six hum
dred men will be taken in a class.
The A. =. F. ordnance shops are To-
Gated at this place. At Decize there
IFS an excellentfy organized motor op-

obtained by study OF these facts.
Utilization Of the mechanical equip
ment of these plants for educational
purposes will make it possible for
many men to,obtains valuable techni-

Trust to Future Generations.
Through unending centuries men
have celebrated every conquest with
monuments of victory and commemo-
ration. The good and the poor ones
stand together in equal permanence.
The good ones are excellent and the
poor ones bad because of their design
not for their size or cost. Often the
same amounts of treasure, if not of
judgment, have been expended on
both. We may now choose what me-
MORALS we shall raise and entrust to
the care of generations unborn in the
hope that they shall not appear un-
worthy in their eyes. In so doing we
shall do well to heed the experience
of the past and avoid its mistakes
Our memorials will be our tribute
to dead as heroic as those of any age,
to dead who gave and to living who
offered all they had to give. not for
mere conquest, but for a cause and a

AIRPLANES DRAW HEAVILY
~. ON NATIONS WOOD SUPPLY
7Propellers Calling for LOO Revolutions a
! Minute Demand Well Mig hit Perfect
III Material-Foresting Policy Urged.

Even airplanes must be bone dry if
possible. They have tried to make the
propellers -bone dry with terrific
tests, but propeller has to make ZOO
or more revolutions a minute to make
good. and even at that it will drip"
sap after A test. This is true of wood
even when it has been dried to the
lowest possible moisture content.
For wood in the manufacture of air
. planes there is no substitute. No other
: material has been found which so
combines strength and lightness. or
which resists the tension upon rapidity
, strain.
New Uses for Airplanes.
With transatlantic flight a reality lit
is only question of time before air.,
planes will be making regular paSSen-
ger trips across the ocean. On land
airplanes will be needed more and more
for carrying mails and for hundred
other purposes. They will be used for
patrol duty over the countrys forests
on the lookout for incipient fires. Map
making by airplane has been found by
the United States geological survey to
he practical, and photographs taken
from the air it has been found can be
made as accurate and accomplish as
much as would have required weeks or
months of observations from the
ground.
Since the best quality of wood must
go into the construction of an airShip
or seaplane, it is necessary to cut
down many trees to provide the ma
terial needed for single plane. OF
course, the pieces which are cast aside
as worthless for aeroplane stock can
be used for furniture and other pur-
poses; but it shows something of the
extra drain which is going to be made
on the forests of the country. The
American Forestry Association in the
Maryland building, which is urging
national forest policy, points out some
of the various kinds of wood which are
called for in the building of aeroplane
parts and why this or that variety is
preferred for propellers, posts or ribs.
For ordinary commercial uses a
piece of wood which has some slight
defect may be employed with safety
and no lives are endangered. In fact,

attention of the nation to the value
of growing trees.
Principal Woods for Planes.
Walnut, mahogany. spruce, ash:
white oak. maple, birch, cherry and
Douglas fir are among the principal
woods which have been most ex-
tensively used in the manufacture Of
airplanes. Walnut is the best wood
that grows for propellers, as also for
gunstocks.
Practically all of the framework is
of spruce, and it bids fair to hold its
by bamboo. says the forestry asso-
citation. Metal tubing has been tried,
but has been found unsatisfactory.
Most of the parts of an airplane are
of built-up or laminated wood, in which
thin layers are glued together to form
the part needed. This has many ad-
vantages. In the first place. the smaller
the pieces of wood that are employed
the more likely they are to be free from
defects. Further, the lamination di-
vides the stresses and prevents them
from coming in full force on any one
grain.

Something better than cemetery

ton is being urged by the Municipal
Art Society of New York in the erec-
tion of memorials for. those VINO 1ell
in the war against Germany. A bulle-
tin recently issued by the society
makes some excuses for the stone
age" Of aH in this country immediate
1y following the close of the civil war,
when incongruous memorials sprang
up all over the land. but holds there
structures today.
Gives Thirty Suggestions.
Thirty suggestions for memorials
are given by the society. which is
composed of lay and professional men
and women engaged in the fine arts
and other professions. their purpose
being to direct the interest of citizens
to the relation Of the varied forms of
art to the business of municipal life.
Compared with our own time" says
the society's bulletin, "the civil war
found every town and hamlet singu-
larry unprepared in the fine arts. and
when, at its close, soldier memorials
were desired. no one even thought
of any other form than the ready
made or to-order types of cemetery
monuments. enlarged little, and fur
nished with artillery and ammunition.
Now. when a new wave Of patriotism
is bringing to us again the opportun-
ity of dedicating new memorials. our
1irst fear is Of a return to the dismal
stone age Such fears may, however,
prove unfounded. for the times have
completely changed. and there is
general acquaintance with works Of
art and a growing appreciation OF
their part in life, as we have become
accustomed to live with them.

able war memorials are the arch.

WAREHOUSES in the South
w are holding cotton for un-
known owners. This may seem
strange in view of the present
high prices, but the explanation
is simple. This is how it hap
pened: When the "Buy Bale
Of Cotton" movement was started
in the fall of 1914 many people
who had never even seen bale
Of cotton bought some. The price
was then down around 6 cents a
pound, ard the bottom of the
market had virtually dropped
out as the result of the beginning
Of the European war. Now this
cotton, which generally is mid
ding, is worth about 26 cents q
pound. 1t has been lying un-
claimed for more than four
years, and meanwhile the storage
charges are plilnR up. 1nere IS
g. considerable amount in Mem
phis, and the warehouse men are
wondering who has the other end
of the stub which would denote
ownership. The question which
is disturbing them is what to do
with it. Eventually it will be
sold for storage, probably, but
then there will be left consider
able margin above the storage
charges. This will be held in
trust until the owner puts in his
claim. Meanwhile the cotton is
taking up space.

Failure Of the railroad admnistra-
tion to meet it's obligations to the rail
roads is holding up the payment Of
dividends upon the $5S, 1882 common
stock Of the New York. Ontario &
Western Railway Company, according
to the annual report issued to the
stockholders yesterday. The manage
mcnt Of the road had planned to pay
dividends at the rate of 1 per cent o
year. The road earned a surplus Of
$7136l8, after nll charges in 1918,
compared with S977,467 in 1917.
"Thc directors were dcsirous Of pay
ing dividend of ! per cent upon the
common stock" said John 3. Kerr,
president, in his remarks to the stock
holders, "but under the Federal control
act were prohibited from doing so un-
less the approval Of the Director Gem
cral of Railroads was first obtained.
Application for such approval was
general at first suggested that the
dividend be limited to one-half of l
per cent, but upon reconsideration
upon March "a consented to the pay
ment of l per cent.
Funds Not Available
"The funds with which to paw a
dividend must come from the rail
road administration, as about all the
resources of the company are tied up
in moneys due from that source, but
Congress having failed to pass the
appropriation asked for by the Admin
straton to enable it to meet it's obli-
cations, the director general, for the
time being, is unable to make settle
ment of compensation and other sums
due.
"In view of the uncertainty as to the
time when the director general will be
in position to settle the deferred
payments due, the directors deem it
which to pay dividend, if it were pos
sible to secure loan on satisfactory
terms, and have decided to postpone
action until such time as the railroad
straton has been put in a posi-
tion to pay it's debts by the needed
action of Congress-"
Under the agreement with the rail-
road administration signed by the COM
pany, the road was to receive an annual
compensation Of S2,103,5S9 from the
government, payable in quarterly in

Market Opinions
Undervalued

Commenting upon the market posi-
tion Of Atlantic, Gulf & West Indies
preferred stock, Lyman D. Smith &
Co. say:
"The stimulating effect of the war
upon Atlantic, Gulf G. West Indies
should have a lasting effect, at least as
far as the preferred issue is concerned
Net earnings may decline within the
next five years, say, from $40 ton to
the pre-war figure of around S13. This
is very reasonable to expect. Even so,
the preferred disbursement on Allan
tic, Gulf & West Indies will be taken
care of with about 6 per cent left for
the common. Meanwhile the company
will still further strengthen its treas
ury position. At the end of 1917, in
cluding $5,728,218 cash held by the
trustee under the mortgage, the COM
pany showed net current assets of
S24,0S0,694. Net quick assets since
mounted to around S35,O0O,OOO, enough
to cover The outstanding bonds at par
and preferred stock at more than
present market price, without consider

ships and terminals. Figured from
any and all investment standards.
