PETER v.
COLLINS ON
SOCIALISM

Did you hear him at Days Opera
House Monday night? If you did, |
am sure you were delighted We were,
and we received more information
from him than from all our reading
before. We never favored socialism
and now we never shall since the
truth from their own records have
been made clear to us, by him. He
is certainly well posted upon all their
doctrines, platforms, and records from
which he. quotes, to give his audience
the facts.
He is fair to them and quotes from
their own authors to prove what So
cialism stands for.
The information he brought home to
his large audience was fully appre-
ciated and did much good. He was
heartily encored throughout his able
address

BIZ Special Correspondent.
TOTTENVIILE, Jan 6:-The new
government aviation field to be locat-
ed on Staten Island on what is known
as the former Vanderbilt farm at
New Dorp has been named for Cuth-
bert Mills, civilian instructor, who
was born in the County Of Richmond
and was one of the earliest flyers in
the Curtiss school, having received
his diploma in 1910 and 1912 and
later at Hammondsport Field. When
the government needed instructors
he took the second course in 1917
and became a civilian instructor. He
was one of the first civilians who
taught the army how to fly. He was
particularly expert in stunt flying
and one of the earliest instructors in
that division.
He served at a number of fields
where he rendered noteworthy serv-
ice. 1t was while he was making a
preliminary fight December 80, 1918,

which promised to revolutioniZe the
construction and increase the speed
of the flying machine. His machine
caught fire, resulting In its destruc-
ton and his death. The announce
ment of the new field being named
for Cuthbert Mills has met with
great comment from the various
