LABOR LEADERS
HITS OFFICIAL
Declares People Have
Been Deceived BY De
spicable Propaganda

WASHINGTON, May 6-Assailing
what he described as "despicable
propaganda against labor" Timothy
Healy, president of the Brotherhood
of Stationary Firemen and Oilers,
charged before the railroad labor
board today that high official of
the government has been used to
thoroughly deceive the people into
believing that because man works
for wages he is the enemy of our
government" He did not blame the
official, but much Of his statement
had to do with the Department of
Justice announcement concerning
threatened strikes and violence on
May Day.

FLYING PARSON'
ENDS LONG TRIP
Plane He Flew Here Is
Condemned By Min
cola Authorities

Lieut.. Belvin W. Maynard, of the
Air service, who dropped in at South
er Field for lunch, unannounced,
few weeks ago, has returned to Min
cola, N. Y, from his long recruiting
drive in the South, flying old No. 81
that won the Transcontinental Race.
During October, 1919, this plane
flew to San Francisco and return.
Shortly after the return it was flown
by Lieutenant Maynard 20 Savannah,
and thence to Miami, Fla, and return
to Mitchell Field, on a special re-
cruiting trip. In February, Lieut..
Maynard was assigned to duty with
the General Recruiting Service and
he was Immediately sent on a recruit
ing drive covering a number of the
states in the South, where he flew
approximately 10000 miles, form
city to city, while recruiting.
Upon the return of Lieutenant
Maynard to Mitchell Field the other
day his plane was condemned as be-
ing unsafe to fly. The radiator had
come loose and the cowling had split
so that it hit the propeller, wearing
a large piece out of each end. The
lower wings had been scratched and
written on by people all over the
South and five ribs were broken in
the lower right hand wing and four
in the lower left hand wing. All
wires were loose and part of the hor-
izontal stabilizer had been broken.
In spite of this Lieut.. Maynard was
ready to fly the plane from Mitchell
Field to Washington, when ordered
there to make report to General Re-
cruiting Service.
1t is believed that this plane has
set a new record for continuous fly
ing time in the air. The motor has
been changed only once in all the
time, and the motor now in the ship
is the one that was borrowed from
the Martin Bomber that was flown by
Captain Francis in the Tranconti-
mental Race.

BY GRADE SCHOOLS
Large and Enthusiastic Crowd De-
lighted by Clever Dances, Sweet
Singing and Novel Costumes
of Children

A large and enthusiastic crowd at
tended the May fete given last Friday
afternoon by pupils of the grade

sweet singing and novel costumes
gave evidence of careful preparation
and excellent training, and won high
commentator for Mrs. Hulscher and
the teachers in charge of the enter
tainment.
The opening number of the fes-
tiyal was the national anthem sung
by an ensemble chorus carrying
flags, after which followed a pleas
ing solo dance to Chains The Call
of Spring" by Virginia Strong. Next
the little people of the first three
grades came down the lawn and in
their picturesque flower costumes
added much to the beauty of the
scene with their presence and de-
lighted the audience with their sing
ing. The chief feature of the enter
tainment was Jessie Gaynors oper-
eta THE Posy Bed" which was pre-
sented under the direction of Mrs.
Hulscher.

ter, Ruth Herbst and Dorothy Heg-
nauer as winsome girls who make

a prettily rendered song and dia-
logue. Genevieve Schroeder was
charming as Pussy-Willow as was
Marjorie Law attired to represent a
daffodil. Jessie Plasket was bright
little dandelion, Evelyn Lowry a
daisy and Virginia Kuhn pretty
buttercup. The butterflies, Kathryn
Heck, Garcia Johnson, Lucille Boyer
and Lila Meyers, were beautifully
costumed. Laverne Olson, as King
Pansy with his guards, Ivar Melan-
