The strongest high school cadet
corps in the country for Washing
ton this year is the. aim of school
officials, DR.. Abram Simon, president
of the Board of Education, an
nounced yesterday following a con-
ference with Stephen E. Kramer. as
sistant superintendent of schools, at
which physical training facilities
for students were discussed.
I'VE have learned that young men
who partake of the drills of the
corps become stronger. better and
sturdier men because of their work
and because of this We believe that
special emphasis on the training
should be given hereafter" DR.. ST.
mon said. He declared the primary
object of the corps was not to de-
velop the men in military training,
but that its nature was purely edu-
cational and disciplinary"
Tentative plans for the corps for
this year. which include provisions
for lowering the cost of uniforms to
the minimum, will be placed before
DR.. Ballou. superintendent of
schools, upon his return the latter

AeropLane Use for Mine Rescue Work
Expected to Become More Practical
With Landing Field Problems Soloed

With the cooperation of the Air
Service, the United States Bureau
of Mines hopes soon to report i'm
pOrtant developments in mine rescue
work through the use of aeroplanes.
The bureau has been inquiring into
the possibilities of the utilization
of aeroplanes for quickly transport
ing engineers and oxygen rescue
apparatus to mine disasters.
Data has been collected on pos
sible landing fields in the fiat, low
lying coal fields of Illinois and In
diana, ard a cooperative agree
ment has been made whereby Nc
Cook Field, Dayton, Ohio, maintains
in readiness planes for assisting the
Bureau of Mines safety station at
Vincenncs, Ind, according to F. J.
Baily, assistant direstOr, L. S. Bu-
reau of Mines.
Use Demonstrated.
Practical demonstration in the use
of aeroplanes in this work will be
given at the forthcoming interna-
tional mine rescue and first aid meet
which will be held in Denver Setem-
will send two planes to Denver
from one of the Texas aviation
fields.
Miners and mining operators from
Canada, Mexico and this country
will give competitive exhibitions in
mine rescue.
The greatest problem in the en-
ployment of planes in mine rescue
work" says Assistant Director Bal
ley. "is that of suitable landing
fields. Fields must be available at

Uncle Sam is depending on a new
speed plane and Captain r. w.
Schroeder. holder of the worlds al
titude record, to bring the Gordon
Bennett trophy to America, by a
win in the international airplane
race in France. September 81.
France and America have both
won the cup twice. If either takes
it in the coming race it becomes the
permanent possession of that coun-
try.
The new plane represents the. re-
suits of several years of expert
mental work at McCook field. Many
experts contributed ideas but the
credit for designing the airship goes

the town where the safety head
quarters are situated. and fields
must also be established at the
mines. In mountainous mining dis
tricts there are at many mines no
level places suitable for landing.
Problems Solved.
The present types of airplane
require a landing-space about 1900
feet in extent in both directions
The development of planes capable
of ascending from. and descending
to, a landing within a limited area
would overcome the present lack, at
many mines, of safe landing
areas"
At the present time the Bureau
of Mines mas ten mine rescue cars
distributed throughout the mining
regions of the United States. These
cars. each of which costs the gov
ernment about $4,000. exclusive OF
equipment, are made of steel and
equipped with sets OF oxygen mine
rescue breathing apparatus and
first-aiu supplies. Each car is man
ned by mining engineer. surgeon
foreman, tirstaid miner, clerk and
cook.
A foreman miner is in charge
of each station, and at five Of the
eight stations are mine safety
trucks. The work of the cars is
twofold: Assisting in rescue and
recovery work at mine disasters.
and training miners in mine-rescuc
and first-aid methods. and in in
vestigations looking to the preven-
ton of mining accidents. The coun-
try is divided into nine safety dis
tricts, with nine district engineers
in charge.

Farmers to Use
Tobacco Scraps
To Enrich Fields

Danville. Va. Aug. 1S.-The Dan
Vile Tobacco Board of Trade at a
special meeting this evening adopted
a resolution eliminating the sale Of
scrap or fragmentary tobacco
from the local market during the
coming season.
Similar action has been taken in
other tobacco belts. il being con-
tended that such tobacco is worth
more to the farmer as fertilizer
owing to the low demand for it.
The meeting reflected a certain
uneasiness on the part of independ-
ent buyers who are largely affected
this year by the chaotic condition of
foreign exchange and Vho are Ioath
to indulge in speculative tactics.
