great loss to the Government, and
had deprived the public of foods for
which there was great demand.

March the surplus of food stocks was
given as follows: Corn beef, s24,-

ANSWERS TO NIMRoDs

Question. A party of us are 60
ing west on an auto trip this fall,
we will go through Yellowstone
Park. | want to take my gun, will
it be necessary to get a permit from
the government to shoot in Yellow
stone Park?
Omaha. Neb. HARVEL O'GRADY.
Answer. Shooting is not permit
ted in Yellowstone Park under any
conditions. That locality is rec
ognized game sanctuary. The gov
ernment at times employ profess
sional hunters to kill off the noun
tain lion, when they become a
menace to the game animals living
in the park. Don't imagine you
would care for a position as lion
killer.
Question. Where will the Olym-
pic games be held and when? Will
America send a team of trapshoot-
ers abroad at that time?
st. Louis, Mo. FRANK MESSING.
Answer. The Olympic games will
be held in 1920, Antwerp, Belgium,
has been selected as the city wherein
the contest will be held. America
will send a team, which will be Sc
lected on annual averages. There
is a move now in embryo to pay
team expenses by the trapshooters
of America. This is along the logi-
cal lines. There should be a stand
ard style of trapshooting adopted
in the different countries, which
would place all contesting teams on
the same level. The foreign coun-
tries. based upon their hedge shoot
ing afield have adopted the use of
both barrels or privilege of firing
two shots at each flying target (the
British team were accorded two
shots at each target, while the
fired but one, yet the
team were winners in
every race by handsome margins).
The firing of two shots. teaches
rapidity at the expense of accu-
racy. One shot is the logical rule,
firing two shots where two targets
are thrown simultaneously. A stand
ard ruling should be Immediately
made.

will make up for the scarcity of new

It Is evident that thousands of motor

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May r.
Strong opposition against the War De-
partment's proposal to abandon the
great flying fields throughout the coun-
try because it has no further use for
them, was entered here to-day by the
aviation experts attending the second
Pan-American Aeronautic Congress.
1t was pointed out that this plan
would not only be criminalIy wasteful,
but would impose tremendous handi-
cap upon the growth Of aviation ill the
United States Besides fields and
buildings. aeronautical equipment val
ued at $4,000, 900 is involved
Alan r. Hawley, president OF the
Aero Club of America, urged to-day
that the government organize an aerial
grain corporation, which will take over
and use for aerial transportation all
airplanes, motors and equipment not
needed by the war and navy depart
ments."
Mr.. Hawley pointed out tnat $50
cities in the United States have asked
the cooperation of the Aero Club and
the Aerial League of America in es-
tablishing air lines to carry passen-
ment now held in idleness by the gov
ernment could be used, he said, to es-
tablish these lines and most of the
supplies now held in storage could be
utilized.
In addition, Mr.. Hawley said, aerial
ferries could be used over waterways
both along the coast and the interior
of the nation. One could be estab-
lished from Newport to Block Island;
another from Cape Charles to Norfolk.
q third from Key West to Havana, and
others across the Mississippi.
After the government has established
such lines, the president of the Aero
Club continued, it could, when it saw
1T. sell them to private concerns.
Likewise such portions of the 3O,OOO,-
900 feet Of spruce, the 100000 yards
of airplane lines and the tons Of castor
beans as cannot be used, could be sold
as the opportunity offers, rather than
to have them dumped on the market I

Socialist Local That
Joined Reds Suspended
Breach Between ''Left and
Right Wings" Widens; Ma
tion-Wide Break Expected

The rapidly growing breach between
the left wing" and fright wing" ele-
ments of the Socialist party in this
country was acccntuated Yesterday bv
the action Of the executive committee
of the New York Socialist party in
suspending the local of the Sth Assem-
ply District. it was learned last night.
Notice of the suspension was sent to
Samuel Davenk, organizer of the Sth
Assembly local, in letter, signed by
julius Gerber, executive secretary Of
the local New York party.
The reason assigned by the executive
committee for its action was the re-
cent decision Of the 8th Assembly Dis
trict local to ally itself with the cleft
wing" element. This element, accord
ing to Mr.. Gerber's letter, has been
organized for the sole purpose of
arousing dissension in the ranks.
According to those familiar with af-
fairs IN the party, it was said last
night that the action of the executive
committee foreshadowed a break in the
organization which would be nation
wide. The "left wingers" are declared
by Socialists to be the American Boil
shevists.
