pigeons have to be sea-going, capable

any sort of emergency. In fact most

So well has this been done that Pilots

abroad, delivered ninety-seven mes
sages from planes at sea during the
last month of the war and during one

'Feathered AviatorS,' Trained

WASHINGTON, Aug 19.-When

Indirectly brought to public knowl-
edge one of the least known, but most
valuable organizations of the Ameri-
can Navy-its pigeon service.
Every service in the world at pres
ent is striving TO perfect it's pigeon
messengers, naval fliers being espe-
cially interested in this development.
At present, however. it is safe to say
that no service has gone further than
the pigeon service of Americas naval
aviators.
The ''feathered aviators" 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 eonsid-
cred that there is a standing order
that no naval seaplane or other flying
machine leaves on a flight without
pigeons Only a short while ago
Navy flier had to make 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, how
ever. after releasing his IS o s"
spare parts were sent him. The flier
made his own repairs ard was able
to resume flight, escaping what might
have proved a dangerous predica-
ment otherwise.
Navy Pigeons Sea-Going
In view of such work and the OBJ
vious need for such a service. a pigeon
loft, filled with trained birds is now
located at every American naval air
station everywhere in the world. There
are lofts aboard many of the Navys
ocean-going airplane carriers, the
Langley and the Wright, the former
at Norfolk and the latter at Hoboken.

standpoint, is meant not only that a

How TO Remove Easily

Here's chance, Miss Freckle-face,
to try a remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable concern that it
will not cost you a penny unless 1t
removes the freckles; while If 1t does
give you clear complexion the ex-
pense is trifling.
Simply get an ounce Of Othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and few applications should show
you how easy 1t is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get beauti-
full complexion. Rarely is more than
one ounce needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength Othine as this
strength is sold under guarantee of
money back if 1t fails to remove
freckles.
