necessity for action in behalf Of continued efficiency in the schools
II does see. however. the necessity for economy in other departments

NEW MOTHER SHIPS
FOR NAVAL FLIERS
DECK 50 PLANES
Cargo Vessels Bought From
Shipping Board Converted
at Mitchell Field.

The contingent Of naval fliers sta
toned at Mitchell Field. Long Island.
are working overtime. The United
States Navy has been busy convert
Ing two cargo ships purchased from
the United States Shipping Board
and fitting them for use as mother
ships for the navy that flies. --These
ships are planned along the general
lines Of the British ships Argus and
Eagle, which proved so successful
during the war.
The new ships are being remodeied
to shelter from twenty to thirty air
planes. Tho deck will be totally free
from distractions and viii have a
surface fully $50 feet long for landing
planes at sea. Radical departures in
naval construction have been made In
order to accomplish this. The smoke
stacks have been split in half and
project from the sides of the vessel
instead OF sticking up from the deck
as in normal construction, and the
bridge and lookout station will he un-
der the main deck.
Great care must be exercised in
landing the planes, and as a measure
of safety steel wires just the height
of the landing gear Of the airplanes,
are stretched along the deck; these
tend to take some OF the weight Of
the machine and decrease its speed
in landing. There are small hooks
attached to tho planes undercar-
riages. which catch in the wires and
prevent the wind sweeping the
planes into the sea
Out at Mitchell Field they have
marked an area on the landing field
and tho pilots practise landing in this
restricted space. Lieut.. Commander
Godfrey De C. Chevalier. one Of the
senior flyers OF the Navy. is in COM
mand, and has as executive officer
Lieut.. Commander Willis d. Havi-

The new memberships will be in
condition in time for the winter

ship to be used on this coast will be
called the Langley, in honor OF

Fleet will be named the Wright
