THE EYES OF THE NAV
 NAVAL AVIATION

As with many other SpecialtieS it took the war to bring out the value of aviation in the navy. In 1916, nav al aviation was made up of $50 off cers and men. At the end of the war the personnel was about 60,00o and growing every week. Naval aviation made good. Wherever there was any fighting at sea the "eyes of the fleet" were found inva luable.
 The United States naval aviation forces were the first fighting unit to land in France from this country. It started quickly and. although small. went straight ahead throughout the war, keeping its record up and prov ing a valuable aid to the success of the U. S. sea forces.
 In this country several colleges were converted partially or wholly in to aviation schools. These were the ground school where the theory of flight was taught to the future flyers The Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology was the largest such school rThere were at one time nearly fifteen hundred men undergoing training at that place This school was for the officer personnel only.
 At Great Lakes and some of the other larger bases enlisted men were
 
 that the officers would pilot, or in many cases. which enlisted men them selves would fly. At Columbia Uni versitv mechanics were given special training in the Liberty and other mo- tors.
 After the armistice these schools wero returned to their former direc- tors and the regular courses resumed. But the special equipment and many of the instructors were transferred to the new naval aviation centers and the training is being carried on there a., actively as before, though not in such large numbers. The courses have been expanded and made much more complete.
 These are at present. Great Lakes, San Diego, Hampton Roads and Pen sacoIa The courses taught include mathematics, electrical engineering, meteorology. photogra phy, wireless instruction, and elementary physics. There are also special courses in such work as caring for and training car ricr pigeons. All courses are thorough and equal in many cases the courses given at our colleges. In fact there arc seventy-two colleges in the United States which recognize and give cred it for the work at our naval aviation universities.
 These schools are intensely racti- cal A student is taken through the work of building and repairing the engines, the magnetos or the car huretors He does lathe work, black sruithing and wood-turninc.

 kcnsingtOn Death House.
 The term death house" has been given to the building between the hehslngton post office and the Berlin savings bank, on account of the num- Der of deaths that have occurred there during the past year. The house is now occupied by a family named Venture. who lost their daugh- ter a few weeks ago by tuberculosls It is reported that six people there have died of influenza and two of tuberculosis within the past 15 months. The deaths have not all occurred In the same family, but have been in different families that have resided there during that time It is doubtful if there is any other dwelling house of like size in tho country can show the mortality rate that this house can show.
 The house is owned b% Elim Kill by who rents the upstairs and down. stairs at S15 month to each tenant The house has been on it's present site as long as some of the older in- habitants can recall.
 May Refuse to Pay Bills.
 N nuIlDef or t1ertln residents have received their electric light bills for the past period under the new sys- tenn of rates. Many have received two bills, neither of which, they say gives very clearly just what and why the charges are. The postal cards which are sent out monthly by the electric light company have not changed in form making it difficult for the patron to arrive a his charge according to the new system. The figures are down in black, as to the amount of the bill, but the usual eX- planation is lacking, the patrons state. Some of the light users will write the company to send them bill under the old system of charg- ing that they at least can get some idea of what they are paying for. it was stated this morning.
