j. S.-BUILT BATTLE
PLANE EXHIBITED

The National Museum now has on
| exhibition the hret AmeFican-huilt
battle plane constructed in this coun-
try for the United States Government
This plane was constructed in Day
ton. Ohio, by the Dayton-Wright Air
plane Company, and was completed
on October %, 1917. It is the first
plane flown with a Liberty 10 motor.
The De II. was adopted by the
United States Government in 1917 for
use by the American expeditionsry
forces as a day-bomber and observa-
tion plane. It was first flown on the
day OF its completion at the South
field Of the Dayton Wright Com
pany in Ohio. Since that time Il has
been used for all military tests and
experiments intended to improve the
De II. 4. In all. more than $500
experiments, ranging from motor
tests and different propellers to
slight changes in control surfaces,
have been made on this machine.
Made 1000 Flights.
II has been used in more than 1000
flights; has been in the air for more
than LOIS hours; and has travelled
more than III 900 miles. Twenty-eight
Of the trips made by this machine
were for more than 100 miles each,
including trips from Dayton to Wash
ingten, New York, Philadelphia, and |
return. As seen on exhibition in the |
Museum, IL is as originally construct
ed, save for a new coat OF military
paint. With the exception Of q patch |
on the landing gear and a new sec
tion on the side cowling, there have |
been no repairs made to the ship.
The machine carries full military |
equipment including ten No. IS
bombs, camera, wireless telegraph. |
and generator, oxygen bottles and /
helmets, intercommunicating tele-
phone, heated clothing and generator
and armament consisting Of twoi
Lewis and two Marlin machine guns /
About 1,S0O Of these planes were
delivered to the army in France, and
they were used extensively on the
front for day bombing and observa-
ton work
Severely Criticized.
This ship was criticised severely
during the period Of the war on &C.
count, chiefly. Of q failure on the
part OF the public to understand its
purpose. It was designed to serve
either as fighter or a bomber. When
sent up for combat work it carried
q light load and was able to attain II
greater speed at 1900 feet than any II
other ship used in the war. It's ma
neuvertng ability when carrying q
light load was considered good. When
sent UP on bombing expedition it ne
cessarily carried a much heavier load
and its speed and acrobatfc ability II
suffered as a result. III
The maximum speed Of the De H. 4
Is set at 122 miles per hour, but a II
much higher speed has been devel- II
oped. Its landing speed Is fifty-eight II
miles an hour. Its wing span is ~
feet 81 inches; length over all. 81 II
feet Ia inches; height. IL feet 9 II
inches; gap, feet 10 inches; total n
area, 40 square feet. Its
weight with a full load and military
armament is $500 pounds.

suggestions to Those Who
Contemplate Having Their
Photographer Make Picture

There is more in getting q photo
graph than simply going to a photog-
rapheI. He must know his business
and you must know yours, otherwise
the result will be likeness that Ia
neither f~lattering nor truthful.
If you are short and stout, advises
an authority, don't ask the poor artist
TO make a picture Of you full length.
He will IL you insist, but he knows he
is doing a great wrong thereby. Moth
ing is so graceful and pleasing In a
picture of a stout lady as a sitting at
hide the stoutness.
Again, IL you are slim and angular,
do not for an instant forget that a full
length figure will make you appear
more slim and angular. Then the
pretty bust picture is your only hope,
and you should insist on having none
other.
If a gentleman has a very long neck
no matter how nicely he looks In a
high collar--his picture, If taken in
such a high affair, would look gro
tesque. A short neck and high collar,
and long neck and a low turned-down
collar, by all means. No loud stripes,
no great checks, no striking figures
should be worn in a photograph.
One thing bear in mind when you
visit the ~studio-bring along your
home expression. Don't spend two
days before you come 10 the studio
practicing poses and different express
slons before your mirror, and, lastly,
give the photographer the benefit OF
exercising his artistic and professional
ability.

People Adapt Taste to
Foods Nature Provides
in the Most Abundance

Men usually adapt. their taste TO
those foods which nature provides in
the most abundance and most easily
procured, according to a survey made
Of the American continent. In the
northern part Of Canada the Eskimos
and Canadian Indians place their chief
dependence for food and clothing upon
the caribou, or American reindeer, but
are changing to the seal, where the
caribou migrate southwark. In the
early days the Indians of the plains
relied upon the bison. Along the Co
Iumbia river, noted for It's salmon, fish
was the prevailing food Of the Indi-
while acorns and smaller seeds
formed the principal diet Of the In
dams in California. On the plains Of
Argentina in South America the qua
naco took the place Of the caribou OF
the north in the economic life Of the
natives. In the Atlantic coast region
from Argentina to Hudson bay the
Indians cultivated maize, manioc and
other crops. History proves that the
growing Of these food plants origi-
mated In America, as they were well
known to the Indians before Euro
peans crossed the sea.

OF INTEREST TO
POULTRY GROWERS

1t is especially important that sur
plus c0ckerels be utilized as capons
to increase the meat supply. Capons,
or male birds whose reproductive or
gans have been removed, increase In
weight and their meat is of good quail
ity.
To determine the best time to capon-
lie n should be guided by the age
and size of the bird. A cockerel two
to four months Of age and weighing
one and a half to two and a half
pounds Is a convenient-sized bird with
which to work.
There are three essentials to good
results In caponizlng. First, the bird
should not be fed for SO hours prior
to the operation SO that the intestines
will be empty and the reproductive
organs exposed; second, the operation
should be performed In a strong light
In order that the organs may be
clearly distinguished; third, one should
have a good set Of tools.
Ahc Shiiieu opcIutOE Cdu CdpOnlZe
a bird In a short time. Birds which
have been operated on should be
placed In a house from which the
roosts have been removed. Give
~caponized birds a soft feed for ten
days after the operation, after which
they may be placed on a scratch food
ration. The wet feed may consist of
two pounds corr meal. one pound Of
bran and one pound Of middlings
mixed with skimmilk or buttermilk.
The first two weeks capons should
be examined for "~windpuffs." These
can be easily relieved by pricking the
skin with a needle or a knife. Two or
three weeks prior to marketing, con
fine and fatten capons In crates. Ev-
cry ounce Of gain Mt this time adds
to the appearance of and the profits

Fate Gives Carlyle Chance
He Has Been Seeking.

Synopsis - Geoffry Carlyle,
master Of sailing ships at TWEEN
ty-six, is sentenced to 20 years
servitude in the American col
onies for participation In the
Monmouth rebellion in England.
Among the passengers on board
the ship on which he Is sent
across are Roger Fairfax,
wealthy Maryland planter; his
niece, Dorothy Fairfax, and Lieu
tenant Sanchez, a S%paniard, who
became acquainted with the Fair
faxes in London. Carlyle meets
Dorothy, who informs him her
uncle has bought his services.
Sanchez shows himself an enemy
Of Carlyle. The Fairfax party,
now on its own sloop in the
Chesapeake bay, encounters q
mysterious bark, the Namur Of
Rotterdam. Carlyle discovers
that Sanchez is "Black Sanchez"
planning to steal the Fairfax
gold and abduct Dorothy. He
fights Sanchez and leaves him
for dead. In a battle with
Sanchez followers, however, he
is overpowered and thrown into
the bay. In q desperate effort
to save Dorothy, Carlyle decides
to swim to the Namur. By a
ruse he gets aboard and min
giles with the crew. The pirates
return to the Namur with Dor
othy, the captured gold and
Sanchez, badly wounded but still
alive. Carlyle finds a friend in
Watkins, an English sailor.
