New Instruments
Assures Commercial
Success of Airplane

Atlantic City, N. j.. May 2s.-
Commercial success of the airplane
is assured through the use of in
struments already perfected, ac-
cording to Charles II. Colvin, who
addressed the Pan-American Aero
nautic convention here. Safety de-
vices that constantly check up the
plane during its flight, he said, en-
able the operator to maintain per-
feet control at all times and to
avoid pitfalls to which he would
be a victim without their aid.
MANY pilots do not realize the
extent to which they are dependent
On their vision or of cloud forma-
tions below them for maintaining
the correct altitude of their plane"
MIR. Colvin added.
Sometimes he cannot see the ex-
tremity of the wings of his plane.
He cannot tell II he is level or IL
he is turning, that is, without in
struments."

eliminate the crossings the reviewed.
In the Dauphin county cases, the
State Highway Department was the
comp mplainant having filed papers
three years ago, while in the North
ampton case, Representative w. M.

Both of the improvements will
be big ones. The Dauphin county

Northampton work S10S,000. The
former will remove crossings at

In the Northampton case, the sub

iEhestnut Ridge railroads will do
this work, the State relocating the

following apportionment to assist is
made: State of Pennsylvania, S25.-

Yanks in Germany Look to
Opening Of Game Season

With the American Army OF Oc-
cupation, May 20. - American SOL
diers fond OF wild game hunting are
looking forward to July l, when the
season for duck, snipe. plover, wild
swans, cranes and other swamp and
bog game fowl begins. 1t was de-
cided recently by Third Army off,
GERS that the soldiers of the Army
of Occupation should abide by the
German regulations regarding wild
game. The open season for birds
of the swamp will be the first oppor-
tunity Of the summer for the Ameri-
cans to try their hand at this kind
of sho oting.
But the American soldier will not
be allowed to have the pleasure of
eating the game even after he has
victory in the field. To prevent the
soldiers from depicting the food sup
ply of the country, all meat obtained
as a result of hunting by any army
personel will be turned over to the
poor people of the locality in which
the game was killed.

Runaway on Billings, Farm

The farm of Ransom Billings, near
the Munger street schoolhouse, was the
scene of runaway last Saturday, while
Mr. Billings horses were drawing a
load of hay up grade in front OF the
house Just before reaching the top
OF the grade, the whiffletree pin came
out, the wagon became disconnected,
and the load of hay started backwards
down the hill toward the creek The
men jumped but instead of landing in
the creek the wagon swerved and back
ed across the bridge. The horses,
frightened by the falling whiffletree
started on a run. One ran into the
barn where it was caught but the other
frightened by the pursuing shepherd
dog, ran across the fields towards the
woods. But just before reaching the
woods the horse, which was a splendid
Morgan, struck a barbed wire fence and
became tangled up in it so that he fell.
When the men arrived beside him they
found him hopelessly caught and the
only way to extricate him was to cut
the wires, which they did with sharp
stones, The horse was badly cut, but
not seriously hurt.

CANNING KITCHEN
OPENS ON MONDAY

The Middlebury Community Canning
Kitchen will open Monday, July IA, at
3 a. m. Miss Cecilia Carrigan from the
University OF Vermont will be in charge
of the work this season.
This year, as last, all produce to be
canned must be at the kitchen not
later than 10 a. m. The first week the
kitchen will be open, Monday July IL,
Wednesday July l6 and Thursday July
H. After the first week the kitchen
may be open more than three days
each week.
All jars must be plainly marked with
tag which will not be lost during
cooking or the manager of the kitchen
will not be responsible for loss.
In regard to the kind of jars to be
used at the kitchen, bring any jar that
will seal properly. Do not send mason
jars which you would not use at home.
These jars will be returned to you if
sent. Last year at several different
times mason jars were sent to the kitch-
en- and we thought of course they would
seal However a whole forenoon was
required to fix a dozen jars so that
they were safe to use. 1t is a needless
waste of time to use such jars, and it
will not be done this season. Economy
jars will not be used as the composition
which seals jars is not dependable.
Prices for canning will be five cents
per pint jar, seven cents per quart jar
and ten cents per two quart jar.
The Executive Committee of the
Farm Bureau made a ruling that in or
der to have canning done at the Com
munity Kitchen this year woman
must be a member of the Home De-
Department Of the Farm
Bureau The dues are only $l00 and
it is impossible to meet the expenses OF
the department without a larger mem
