FLIES 800 MILES AN HOUR
MonopIane Invented by italian Engi-
neer Said to Need Little
Landing Space.

Rome, Italy.--An airplane capable
of landing without the need Of a large
aviation field, able to travel more than
800 miles an hour and, If necessary, to
meander along at only few miles an
hour Is announced as the invention OF
an Italian engineer, Epaminonda Ber-
tucci of Rome.
The inventor reports that he has
already tried out the machine on a
small scale and regards his first ex-
periments as indicative Of the success
of the invention. The new machine
is primarily intended for aerial war
chasing and is to be armed with a ma
chine gun. 1t is a monoplane.

Mr. Avian y. White,

Ny Dear Mr., White
! am in receipt OF a copy Of a set
Of resolutions concerning the text
book adoption passed by the mass
meeting held at Las Cruces. In CON
ucction with these resolutions there
is a copy OF a letter from you to
Mr.. NJ. B. Stevens of Las Cruces con-
corning certain so called irregularities
in connection with this adoption.
believe YOU have been ~misinformed re-
lative to certain things in connection
with this adoption. The purpose of
this letter is to clear up these points
in 50 far as possible.
First; As to the time of adoption,
An opinion was obtained from the
Attorney General concerning the right
Of the State Board Of Education, then
in power to make this adoption. The
Attorney General ruled that such an

order in which they should be used.
Second There seems to be some
question in your mind concerning
the cost - the new books as COM
pared with the old ones. The CON
for the old books expired June
18th, 1921, and Chas. Held Company
# Albuquerque can furnish some very
Illuminating figures concerning the
cost Of continuing the use OF these
Old books as compared with the cost

with the old publishing houses could
not be renewed at the same figures
as the previous adoption. Moreover,
