BIG TRADE SCHOOL
AT GREAT LAKES. ILL.

Chicago, July 2.-Nearly 100 men
are being graduated every three
weeks at Great Lakes naval training
station from what naval officers de-
scribe as the biggest trade school in
the world.
The school is devoted exclusively to
the training of aviation mechanics
and at the present time 1925 stu
dents are taking the courses which
range in length from sixteen to thirty
six weeks.
More than 1000 men have gradu-
ated since the school was established
slightly more than a year ago and
another thousand will complete their
work by November. Lieut.. Com
mander e. E.. Wilson, commandant at
the school, says all Of the 5000 men
provided for in the naval air force
will be graduates of the school within
another year.
!, h cost OF turning out the first
1000 graduates was $1,000. making
the average cost of producing trained
aerial mechanics 81 apiece. The low
cost was due to the fact that the stu
dents produce nothing in their studies
to be wasted. Instead Of making the
frequently useless examples they

from small land flyers to huge sea-
planes only a step smaller than the
famous NC" type, have been COM

The school is valued al between
$50, 900, 0oO and 5000, 900 but all the
tools and equipment are salvaxed
material which would otherwise have
been sold at a great loss after the
war. Part of the equipment Is sew

 CAME ID DEDICATE
 NEW GROUNDS TODAY

MESA. April 4.-With the Standard Oil club of Phoenix and the Mesa Independents, two of the fastest teams in the valley. pitted against each oth- er Mesa will officially dedicate her new baseball park here this afternoon. Twice defeated by the Oilers, Mesa is keen for revenge, and after a strenu- ous weeks workout, feels confident that she is due today. With Lou Gill in the box, Ed Price back on third base and Rollie Pomeroy in center field. the team has been materially strengthened since the first two games with the Oilers. The new diamond, it IS said, will add much to the speed and team work of the men.
 Probably no better baseball park in the valley exists today than that just complete dby the Mesa club. Close to 5000 has been expended in putting up grand stand and clearing and lay ing out the field. All of the work has been done with permanency in view for the club anticipates using the park through the full period of it's five-year lease.
 As an additional feature to today's game, the occasion has been declared ladies' day, at which time all ladies will be admitted free, either at the gate to the grand stand or at the au- tomobile gates.
