is the first time, the Colonel said,
that they have been employed in
similar active service elsewhere.
Extension of the service to in
clude mapping of aerial routes on

in contemplation. At present while
one-third of the First Aero Squad

All flights are nonstop between the
home field and the destination. thus
putting the pilots under a system
as rigorous in point of training as
they experienced during the war.
Aviation experts have attributed
the efficiency of American pilots in
France to the fact that they were
compelled to fly at regular inter-
walls and. consequently. did not have
time to forget their training.

AGAINST VIRGOIN
THE TABOR CASE
Former Undertaken, Who
Claims He Married
Woman, Held

Lawton, Mich, Dec. ia charge
of murder is to-day entered against
Joseph C. Virgo. a former South
Bend, Ind, undertaken, by Van
Buren county authorities who are in
vestigating the death of Maud Tabor.
According to Glenn E. Warner, as
sistant prosecutor, the action was
taken as a result of secret grillirS
of Virgo and expert testimony before
the inquest tending to show that
crime had been committed.
Virgo, who claims to have been
married to the woman in 1915, re-
fused to talk of the case after learn
ing he was to be charged with mur-
der, and accused the authorities of
resorting to q ruse by leading him
to believe he was held only as a
material witness. He had been the
principal witness at the inquest.
The inquest will not be resumed,
it was announced, until Prosecutor
II. H. Adams returns from California
with Mrs Sarah I. Tabor and Walter
o. Tabor, mother and brother of
Maude Tabor.
The authorities expect the mothers
testimony to aid their investigation
inasmuch as she is said to have
stated she was with her daughter
when she died, the result, according
to expert testimony, of inducing
parturition.

The Automobile and Aeroplane
Mechanical School, which has the
large aeroplane landing field at
Fourteenth and Sycamore streets,
have received two large Canadian
Curtiss aeroplanes which will be
used in the instruction of students
