U. s. NAVAL PIGEON SERVICE

 PROVES A NECESSARY BRANCH

 standpoint, is meant not only that bird can deliver message under or dinary conditions. Far from it. Navy pigeons have to be sea-going, capable of flying over wide stretches of heav- ing waters by night, in storm, or in any sort of emergency. In fact, most of their work is in emergencies, when conditions are just the opposite from land flying. And, because sea-flying is contrary to the hereditary traits and abilities of pigeons, Navy birds have to be specially bred from nauti- cal ancestors and trained for the sea- So well has this been done that Pilots with an enviable record for war fly ing abroad, delivered ninety-seven messages from planes at sea during the last month of the war and dur ing one year covered 2,63S miles, ac- tua1ly saving life and air craft on various occasions. Another veteran, The Skipper, flew with planes oper- ating off Brest. France, and holds the record of delivering a message from 400 miles at sea the morning after he departed from the plane. Peerless Pilot, another bird, served on planes out of Pauil1ac, a French naval base, delivering 196 messages during the last year of the war, although only fifteen months old.
 It is hoped under present plans to rear and train birds at sea, so that each ship will have its own birds, who can "spot" their home on the ocean though out of sight of land.

Washington, Aug. 12-When Pres fdent Harding sent back messages by carrier pigeon from the Mayflower recently, while on a cruise at sea he indirectly brought to public knowl- most valuable organization of the American Navy-its pigeon service.
 Every service in the world at pres ent is striving to perfect it's pigeon messengers, naval fliers being espe- cialIy interested in this development At present, however, it Is safe. to say that no service has gone further than aviators.
 The 'tfeathered aEiators'' of the American naval flying service are on constant active duty and scarcely a month passes without some report of life saved or valuable machine saved from abandonment or destruction.
 So valuable are these birds consider ed that there is a standing order that no naval seaplane or other flying ma chine leaves on a flight without pigeons. Only a short while ago Navy flier had to make a forced land- ing far down the Potomac river, be- low Washington. His motor was stopped. and his only means of com municating his plight was by pigeon messenger. Within a short while however, after releasing his 'tS o s. spare parts were sent him. The flier made his own repairs and was able to resume flight, escaping what might have proved @ dangerous pre- dicament otherwise.
 Navy Pigeaons Sea-Going
 In view of such work and the ob- vious need for such a service. a pigeon loft. filled with trained birds is now located at every American

STRANGE NAMES
 FOR EVENING GOWNS

New York, Aug 12-Drsignating gowns with names as bizarre ar those given racehorses is the latest ,rade device of fashionable New 9t-~k dressmakers.
 This was revealed when a large firm brought suit for S11, 1906 against a wealthy man for raiment purchased by his wife but alleged to be still unpaid for.
 Lady Fair,' "Il1 Say She Does," and "Patches'' were the way three gowns were itemized. A snappy little dress went down on the lis as Country Mouse" while two street suits were charged up as Bobby and Reggie"
 By the way of paradox, an evening gown was christened Morning Glory"

marks, 253 only were granted perma- nent basic licenses to teach, the re- maining thirty-nine securing only conditional passing marks necessitat- ing re-examination. Japanese pre- dominate among the successful can- didates, 23S of their number being passed internationally. The Koreans, with nine, and the Chinese, with eight successful candidates, came, respec- lively, second and third.
 Local educators express themselves as much pleased with the result of the tests, as 1t is generally felt that through these and other compulsory examinations in American subjects true Americanization will be brought about through the alien teachers themselves, thus providing the solu- ton for what at one time 1oomed as @ serious problem to the Territory.
