Up-to-Date Dressed Beggars
Give Way to Brown Velvet
Clad Signors of Pre-War
Age.

Rome. June 00.-(Correspondence
Of The Associated Press.)-The
picturesque galaxy Of beggars who
had bya sort of hereditary success
sion occupied the flight of steps
leading from the Piazza di Spagna
to the church of Trinita de- Monti
on the Pincio, who have been from
time to time the topic of authors like
Dickens and Hawthorne and who.
for lack of patronage during the
war vacated the steps, are one by
one taking up positions along
the broad stone stairway again.
While the beggars are full-fledged
descendants of their mendicant an
cestors they are not nearly as pic
turesque They came no more with
their pretty brown velvets in
breeches and short wasted coats.
They are not accoutred in the dress
of the Italian operate peasant. They
lack the striking qualities which COL
or gives and they have abandoned
the romance of the historic and an
cient attires.
The new arrivals wear the apparel
Of a western charity seeker. Their
linen isn't clean, though their clothes
are of modern, comparatively mod
ern, models. They are not unlike
American beggars but nearly as fin
ished in securing their aims and put
ting forth their case. It is said they
regard their career on the steps a. a
profession and expect aims because
they are beggars providing soothing
balm for the troubled souls whom
they seek to make believe, 1T is
more blessed to give than to re-
ceive."
Among them the artists can find
many examples for their paintings
OF "Holy Families" Some begging
mothers bring all their offspring
with them as an additional evidence
of their right of possession of the
steps. The children play with each
other, unconscious that their mis-
sion there is to attract the pity of
the passing pedestrian. 1t would ap
pear that the children were posing
for picture of domestic happi-
ness"

Leap from Plane to Plane Is
Easy, Says Lieut.. Locklear

ments this was all right but it was
expensive.
any one worry Is the motors. l
know that if they stand up I will
accomplish all that start out to do.
The air resistance is pretty severe,
but one overcomes that by balanc-
ing on the wing. 1t may seem
dangerous to step out on the ex-
treme edge of the wing when you
are away up in the air. but it is
safer there than if I stood in the
center Of the wing. If anything
should happen I have plenty Of room
to get down and clutch the frame
Of the wings with both hands"
Suppose that you encountered an
air pocket while you were out on
the wing" was suggested to him.
Can Sense Air Pocket.
"You can always sense an air
pocket before you encounter it." he
replied. "An air pocket is nothing
more than a descending air column.
At Atlantic City l met one, and had
to get down fiat on the wing, but it
didn't bother me. The controls of
the machine are so sensitive that
you can always adjust the machine
for air pockets before you actually
get into them.
"The stunt of clinging to the axle
Of the plane is not nearly as dan
gerous as standing on the wings or
shining back along the fuselage.
There you simply hang on by your
legs, and nothing can happen to
you. 1t looks bad, to be sure, but
it is easy.
"I'll admit that the stunt Of chang
ing planes bothers me a little. It
takes a bit of steady nerve to watch
that big plane whirl along right
above you. I could reach up ard
touch the propeller. Close plotting
is necessary to perfect that feat, but
my associates perfected it."

BY Universal Service

New York, June 28.-Lt Omal
Locker, who has thrilled thousand!
of spectators by leaping from ont
airplane speeding through the air al
80 miles an hour to another travel
ing at similar speed and by doing
stunts while hanging from the
planes axle by his knees, thinks nc
more danger attends his perform
ances than would be encountered
slipping tea at summer resort
hotel.
Lieutenant Locklear is now seek
ing. backing by Secretary of the
Navy Josephus Daniels for a pro-
posal he has made that he attempt
cross-Atlantic flight in an airplane
carrying only one other man.
His theory that plane could be
manipulated by the pilot while a
man stood on the wing was secuted
by experts--but he proved his
theory by actually climbing out on
the wing. His demonstration was
Of value not because of its success
as an acrobatic stunt, but through
the introduction of a new means of
fighting the enemy, as man on a
planes wing would have a much
wider range Of vision and firing di-
rection.
Lieutenant Locklear is u years
old, was born in Fort Worth, Tex,
and studied mechanical engineering
in the University Of Texas before
aviation claimed his attention. He
is considered one of the best pilots
in the world.
Not a Daredevil.
"Most people say I'm daredevil"
said Lieutenant Locklear. "I'm
not. I'm the most conservative pi-
lot l know.
II conceived the idea Of mount
ing guns on the wings of planes
and having an airmen fire them in
actual fighting from studying the
methods of air fighting. Aerial
combat is a succession Of maneu-
vers, in which the more adept pilot
shoots down his less skillful rival.
With gun mounted forward the
pilot is Handicapped because of his
limited power of DETECTION. With
guns on the wings, however, one
could sweep the entire circumfer-
ence Of a circle and do infinitely
more damage to an enemy than un-
der the present methods Of fighting.
Il have demonstrated the fact
that it is possible \ for the pilot to
maneuver the plane while I am out
there. With planes specially con-
structed, it would be quite possible
to have a man work the gun while
the plane maneuvered for position.
There is another thing that cannot
be overestimated, and that is the
possibility of extinguishing fire on
the wings. Many climb out and
fight the FIRE.
Depends on Motors.
"Leaping from one plane to an
other is easy enough if the motors
of the planes function properly. As
a matter of fact, it is easier to drop
from one plane to another than to
swing onto rope ladder, as / am
doing now. The reason / changed
the pehtod of shifting from one
plane to another was because in
dropping very frequently broke
through the wing Of the plane to
which I dropped. In army expert

John, the Tailor, and
Bill, the Baker, May
Yet Call on Royalty

London. June 2s.-It is sug.
sested by the Daily News that the
king and queen have royal AT
homes" when Bill Smith the baker
and John Jones the tailor. not to
mention Abe Simons the jeweler,
can be received at court without
appearing in short pants and the
rest Of the presentation regalia"
which now sets 4 patriotic Britisher
back some $500.
The Daily News believes that
such "at homes" would more
closely cement the ever-growing
friendship and homely familiarity
between the 'reigning house and the
pee-pul.
As it is now only debutantes Of
the rich and nobility, who can af-
ford special court clothes costing
more than $500, can be presented at
court, while the equally expensive
levee suits for gentlemen precludes
many. even though they might have
the opportunity of meeting the king
and his wife.
During the war, "investitures." at
which hundreds of decorations
were bestowed upon men of the
army and navy who had done
heroic deeds, were held weekly, and
thousands of persons who have
previously never saw more than the
outer gates Of Buckingam palace
were ushered inside the building
on rainy days, along with their
women folks.

Caring for House Plants.

From the Phils delphia Phess.
Rubber plants. palms and other
house plants often droop and lam
guish, chiefly from the fact that they
have not had proper light and that
the atmosphere of the room is too
dry. Other causes are improper water
ing. the attacks of the red spider and
a pot that is too small. Plants should
not be watered every day. but only
when the earth becomes very dry on
top. Then they should be thoroughly
soaked. The red spider may be routed
by frequent sponging with warm
water. 1t should not be hard to de-
eide when a plant has outgrown its
pot.

In this way pullets often COM

First, second and third ribbons

pen consisting of a male and
four females. Sweepstake rib

Self-Feeders

Some feeders believe that
hogs which are not entirely fin
ished in the corn field do not
make efficient gains if removed
from the field and fed grain in
a dry lot. There is no reason
why this should be true provid-
ed the dry-lot ration is equal
in amount and quality to that
which the hogs have been OBJ
tanning in the corn field. If the
unfinished animals are full fed
on corn, properly supplemented
they should make profitable
gains in dry lot if they have
been previously doing so in the
corn field. The trouble is usual
ly caused by the fact that the
amount of the ration is decreas-
ed when the hogs are removed.
A self-feeder can be used to ex-
cellent advantage in such cases,

The Small Poultry Show.

CaAN DAAOWs
The number of small poultry
shows that are being held this
fall proves that there is a post
war condition of live interest in
breeding and exhibiting pure
bred birds. The breeder of poul-
try who aims at success with his
birds can well afford to take ad-
vantage of these shows for, a.
side from the prospect of win
ming a blue ribbon, there is much
Of practical value to be learned
from associating with the breed

Briefly speaking, the purpose
Of the small poultry show are
to stimulate a greater interest
in the breeding of purebred
birds in the community; to en-
able the breeder to ascertain his
best j n dividuals and learn
how he may best improve his
strain, and TO give him an op-
pOrtunity to advertise his stock
and possibly take orders for flu
ture sales.
The responsibility for the sue

on the superintendent. He
should appoint a live-wire sec.

Short Course in Agriculture.

Short Course in Agriculture.
Any farmer who can afford
an automobile can afford to send
his son to the short course in
agriculture which begins Octo-
Der 81, at the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture. The
initial investment is not large
for sending the boy to school
and the returns are far greater.
No one need hesitate about
enrolling in any of the courses
offered if he has the equal of an
eighth grade education. The
courses are vocational and not
academic. No entrance exami-
nation is required. There is no
age limit to entrance. Any per-
son l6 years old or older may at
tend Students are not requir-
red to study a lot of things they
do not want. If they are special
ly interested in live stock they
can devote the most of their
time to live stock, and the Col
lege herds make excellent labor
atOry material. If interested in
dairying or in the creamery bus
mess, the greater part of their
work can be done along those
lines.
Let the purchase of an auto
mobile go for a year or two
while your boy completes the
short course, unless you can f.
nance both. When he begins to
apply what he has learned to the
old home farm, the automobile
will not be far off. The short
course begins October 81, at
Columbia.
