Lawlessness in City Than
in 1917; Ask Showdown

Burglar insurance companies were
charged yesterday By Richard t. En-
right Police Commissioner. with
spreading reports of a crime wave in
New York in order to get more bust
ness and to have an excuse for rails
ing rates. He said there is no crime
wave in New York, that burglaries are
az per cent fewer than in 1917 and
that the city's detective force is am
pie.
AS soon as officials of the insurance
companies heard of Commissioner En-
rights ct%rges they denied them I'm

unnecessary to worry about getting
more business, because people are
.frald to leave their property unpro-
tected
Ellis G. Bogart. president Of the

Ter with other members and urge an
oificlal reply TO Commissioner Enright.
Mr.. Bogart said that he would assem-
PIE figures to show that burglaries in
1920 are 30 per cent more than in
1917, rather than 40 per cent less.
Many Not Reported
Many burglarles are not reported
to the police Mr. Bogart said, "be-
cause people expect no help and wish
to avoid notoriety. SO Commissioner
Enright may not know about all the

that crime wave prevails? What

Arthur L. Dietrick, of the Fidelity

HoMINo PIGEONS IN THE NAVY
How Sailors Train These Wonderful
Birds for Service in the
Naval Air Forces

At the great Naval Air Station,
Anacostia, D. c., near Washington,
the homing-pigeons that make up
the Live Winged" branch of the
Naval Air Service, are trained.
Thousands of these feathered planes
were sent abroad during the war, and
thousands are trained each year for
service at home.
The homing-pigeon is used by prac-
tically every aviator to send message
back to the base, or to headquarters.
The birds are taken along in small
cages and, if the occasion arises when
a message must be sent, the bird is
turned loose as shown in the illustra-
ton.
Up to afew years before the Great
War the homing or carrier-pigeon was
a highly priced bird, primarily be-
cause it was becoming extinct rather
than for any other reason. 1t had al
ways been known that it could 'Deliv-
er the message to Garcia" yet it re-
manned for the supreme test of the
Great War to prove its worth.
The Navy pigeons have acquitted
themselves with glorious deeds too
numerous to mention here. Times
without number homing-pigeons have
directed rescuers to ship-wrecks and
and fallen seaplanes by delivering
The star-progress. (Opelousas, La.) 1917-1921, 1920-07-17

messages which gave the\ rescuers
sufficient information to save those
in trouble.
At the Anacostia Station, a pigeons
training begins at the age of six
weeks. The first duty of the trainer
is to allow the baby bird to become
familiar with the surroundings of its
loft so as to effect an early impression
upon its mind of where home is and
where it will be cared for and sup
piled with food They are taught to
keep together and when the flock is
released for trial flights" it is impor-
tant that all return at the same time
in order to be trapped The rattle
of the feeds cans is the signal to come
to Chow"
After the birds are strong enough
to fly great distance, they are taken
some twenty-five miles away and
allowed to return to their lofts, at
the same time being timed by spe-
cial clock for the purpose. In this
manner the best birds are secured.
Before flight they are given little to
eat, thus their return to the base is
always certain.
In the recent pigeons race held in
Washington, the birds were released
at Cameron, West Virginia, and flew
to Washington, a distance of about
200 miles. The winning pigeon trav-
elled at the rate of 1,543 yards per
or almost So miles per hour.
Birds from the Army, Navy and De-
partment of Agriculture were entered.

constructive interest which you are
manifesting in our agricultural devel-
opment. / understand that about sew
en- thousand boys and girls in the state
have taken an active interest in the
club work and have secured crafty
ing results. l wish to commend, in
the highest possible terms, your in
telligent interest and the industry
which you have carried to your farm
projects.
1t is my belief that nothing is be-
ing done in the state in the interest
of agricultural development of more
far reaching Importance than the
work you boys and girls are doing.
You are learning important agricul-
tural principles which represent the
foundation stones in agricultural de-
velopment; you are learning to appre-
ciate the importance of pure seed; of
good blooded live stock; proper care
of live stock; proper methods Of cul-
tivation; methods of increasing the
fertility of the soil; the Importance

cultivation of crops; the Importance

forts in the homes, and many other
principles that are essential if farming
is to be successful and profitable.
l hope sincerely that you boys and
girls will not become discouraged oV-
er such obstacles as may be thrown in
your way. We live in a wonderful
state. and agriculture hereis our most
important industry. 1t should be con-
Quoted with intelligence and skill, and
it should bring the largest possible re.
turns. to those who follow that import
ant vocation. You boys and girls are
learning and disseminating principles
of tremendous importance and when
appreciated and practiced by all OF the
farmers of our state, we shall have one
of the most prosperous states IN the
union. l hope you will continue your
constructive efforts; that you will net
withdraw wrom the clubs, but that
you will induce other boys and girls
to join hands with you and that yon
will cooperate to the fullest extent
with the state and parish authorities
with the view of making your work
highly successful.
/ congratulate you most sincerely
upon what you have already accom-.
plished and wish you highest possible
measure of success in future.
