Drunkenness Worst Foe
Of Filters, Says Maynard
''Flying Parson'' Probably Would Not Have Won
Cross-Country Race Had All Rivals Been as
Sober as He, He Asserts Before New Flight

Lieutenant Belvin w. Maynard, ely
ing parson." who in intervals between
flights assals the wickedness of this
world, has added to his aerial feats by
hylng to Savannah and to his minis
eerIal record by attacking, before he
started, the drunkenness which he saws
is frequent among army aviators.
Recently the flying parson" assailed
Partisan dressmakers and the costumes
they made for American women. His
attack upon John Barleycorn was given
to the public yesterday by the Anti
Saloon League.
In this he is said to assert that if
all the other fiers who competed in
the recent transcontinental flight had
been as sober as he, he probably would
not have won the race. He also is
quoted as saying that many of those
who have died in the service have gone
to their deaths because they were f1y-
ing while drunk or with chang lover"
Perhaps" he said. according to the
Anti-Saloon Leagues statement, 81
cannot prove this by reports of the
accidents as they are filed in army
inaccurate. The reason for that is
easy to see. 1t is dreadful enough to
report to mother that her son had
been killed while doing his duty. but
to tell her that he probably would be
still living had he not been endeavor-
ing to fly while drinking, would be
still more heart breaking"
Indulgence in liquor while on duty
is common among United States fliers,
according to Lieutenant Maynard s
statement

took drink before flying. I have seen
others who flew with hangover from
the night before, and have seen still
others fly who never touched drop.

Dennis Hallinan to Judge Mulqueen,
VINO sentenced him to state prison

Headquarters Loses $4,000
1t is declared that the crooks have
gone so far as to break into the very
headquarters of the silk association
itself, at 354 Fourth Avenue, and re-
moved $4,000 worth of goods held
there for Identification. The asso-
citation heads say that most of the
robberies take place on Friday and Sat-
urday nights and over holidays, when
the thieves count on a longer interval
between their getaway and the dis
covery of the robbery.
The losses suffered by the burglary

great. it was learned yesterday, that
many Of them are now refusing to
issue policies on silk unless the prem

The police arrested three men yester-
day whose names they refused to di-
vulge, and whom they link UP with
the Salmow and Leonard jobs. The
men were held at Headquarters for a
'urther examination to-day.

$4,000 Sand-Fed

O'Malley Stops Eight Cars at
Jersey City, Charging
Shippers Feed Gravel;
Half Pound in Each Craw

Eight cars, containing more than
$4,000 live chickens, were held up in
Jersey City railroad yards yesterday
and refused admission to markets here
because their crops contained an aver
age of half a pound of sand and
gravel, Edwin j. O'Malley, Commits
sioner of Public Markets, announced
yesterday.
This is the opening Of a campaign
to stamp out the practice Of falsifying
the weight of fowl sent here by putting
them on sand and gravel diet after
two or three days Of no food at all.
An average Of one half a pound of
dead weight for each chicken, Mr..
O'Malley computed, would mean 5000
pounds of sand and gravel in ALL At
25 cents pound, he said, this would
mean loss Of $6.250 to consumers.
the chickens for two or three days and
then give them feed seasoned we'll with
pepper. The chickens turn greedily to
the sand and gravel because it cools
their throats
Mr. O'Malley announced that the sale
of navy food by the city would discon-
tinue on Saturday. The Markets Com
missioner yesterday rendered his resig-
nation to the Mayor as a member of
the committee to distribute the $780,
600 remaining from the sale of army
foods by the city. He asked that a
woman be appointed in his place.
Arthur Williams, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator, announced yesterday that
a meeting of the Fair Price Commit
tees sub-committees on Wholesale and

ure of some Of the pilots In the recent
transcontinental race can be attributed
to too much booze. If all Of them had
been as sober as myself, probably
would not have been the winner"
WASHINGTON, Dec s.-Brigadier
General William Mitchell, director of
military aeronautics, tonight charac-
terized the statements of Lieutenant
Maynard as "all foolishness" and IAN
absolute lie"
"If Lieutenant Maynard made such a
statement as that for publication" said
General Mitchell, che ought to be fired.
So far as the transcontinetal race is
concerned. the men flying in it were
inspected at every control station by
the officer in charge when they landed
and by medical officers before they
went into the air again. Such state
ment is all foolishness."

To have a clear brain, free from hang
overs and the effects of booze, is a great

Holding that sound highway de-

of Interior. are perfecting plans for
an international distribution of slides
and motion pictures depicting road

The work is under the charge OF

the educational extension division who
is assembling as his aides some OF the
best known authorities in the United
States in all branches OF visual in
struction from the first preparation
of the film to its introduction to the
smallest school, church, or club in the
smallest community in the country.
Few phases Of Government work
are more interesting than this, as

"The Visual Instruction section VIII

arrangements have already been per-
fected for distribution of these films
and slides in twenty-five States and
we are rapidly adding to the num-

sent out recently to university

the motor truck and the vital import
ance of improved highways. The inn
portance of good roads naturally was
conceded before the war. but the ma
jority apparently felt that these were
something to be desired rather than
acquired, and which might come in
the course Of time.
Motor trucks stepped into the

done yeoman duty, playing a con-

system of the country as a whole.
