Is Type Tested Out, Winning Hiuh
Praise From Government Experts-
Equals Any Combat Plane
Now In Use.

Washington.-A shipplane designed
10 meet every requirement Of combat
and pursuit in connection with fleet
operations, Of navy design and built
at the naval aircraft factory, PhIladel-
phia, Is undergoing final tests at the
Anacostia air station here under the
supervision of the bureau of aeronau-
tics, navy department.
Another plane of the same type was
recently completed by the Curtiss
company ut Garden City. L. l.. and
will shortly be flown to Anacostla for
further tests.
The tests on the new plane of navy
design, called rs, have been uni
tormly satisfactory, and naval avia-
ton experts consider 1t as good COM
bat plane as any in use by military
services from land bases. In addition
to operating from land base, this
plane can be quickly converted into
the sea type by substituting pontoons
for the wheel landing gear.
A statement prepared by the bureau
of aeronautics concerning the need for
such plane describes the rs as fol-
lows:
Analysis Of the Design.
The function of the combat plane is
to protect our own aircraft by destroy
Ing or dispensing the enemy aircraft.
With the development of aircraft car
riers to n point where they are now
recognized as an essential arm of the
naval force, it has been necessary to
tackle the problem to be solved in pro-
ducing suitable designs of aircraft to
operate from the carriers. These prob
lens in Il few words included the fol-
lowing questions:
How to evolve aircraft of the vari-
Gus types and possessing the following
qualities: (a) Best performance,
90 greatest radius of action, (c) small
est dimensions, (d) best adapted to
handling and stowage on board ship,
and operating from ship or airdrome.
1t must be speedy and have superior
qualities of maneuverability and sta
billty; it must be lightly constructed
but rugged.

OVERRIDING CAUSES
SHRINKAGE OF STOCK

(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.l
Reports to the effect that excessive
shrinkage on live stock at central
markets is frequently experienced are
sometimes received from members and
managers of cooperative livestock
shipping associations by the United
states Department of Agriculture. In
some cases these reports take the
form of complaints, and at times the
shrinkage feature is pointed to as a
weakness in the whole system or CO.
operative shipping.
While many things can, and IRE
ouently do, result in excessive shrink
age in live stock. investigations have
shown that at tines 1t is at least part
lv due to a disposition on the part
of some shippers to overfill their stock
before loading. This custom seems
TO be a relic from the days before
cooperative shipping came into vogue
and when most small producers sold
their stock to country buyers. Under

DRAKE WORKER OF MIRACLES
Buccaneer Credited With Wondrous
Power by Simple Country Folk
of His Day.

The story of Elizabeth Sydenham
wife Of Sir Francis Drake, that gay
buccaneer of Elizabethan days, is
parallel in many ways t. the classic
story Of Penelope, wife of the Greek
wanderer, Ulysses. Only the denoue-
ment of the story differs from the an
cient tale. History says that Sir Fran
els, although he roamed the seas, was
the most faithful of husbands. Eliza
beth was his second wife,
1t was generally believed by the
simple English country folk that
Drake had the power Of working
miracles. On one occasion, it Is said,
when he left home to make one Of his
long and perilous voyages, Sir Fran
els told his wife that If he did not re-
turn within ten years she might con-
slider him dead and herself at liberty
to marry again.
The years went by with no word
from the absent knight, and as Lady
Drake was q beautiful and charming,
as we'll as wealthy, woman, she was
soon besieged by suitors. For long
time she remained steadfast to her
husband. Like Penelope waiting at
home for the warning Ulysses, she re-
fused none, but accepted none. She
kept them all in a perpetual state of
hope.
FINALLY, though, after a good deal
more than ten years had elapsed, ard
still there was no news of Sir Fran
els, Elizabeth succumbed to the i'm
portunities of one of the suitors, and
all details for the wedding were ar
ranged.
And here is where the miracle came

the system of marketing wherein live
stock was usually sold on, the basis
of home weights, or at most, shipping
point weights, 1t was usually to the
producers advantage to obtain a gen.
erous ''fill" on his stock before turn
ing it over to the country drover.
The cooperative system Of shipping
live stock, however, practically elm
mates the incentive to excessive home
or shipping point fills. Stock that
is fed heavily just before loading is
not only quite likely, TO slcken and
sometimes die while in transit, hut
seldom takes q good fill when 1t ar
rives at market. Furthermore, where
cooperative shipments are graded at
the shipping point the man whose
stock has been given heavy fill re-
ceives more than his just proportion
of the net returns. Home grading OF
cooperative shipments is, In most In
stances, highly desirable. but it can
be successful only where the individ-
ual members play fair" with each
other or, In other words, where they
really cooperate.

usually pad weather or PEI s,ds OF feea
shortage. Where snow covers the
range a part of the year, hay is put
up for winter feeding. Little grain Is
fed, except where grain sorglums can
Sbe grown. From southern ranges the
cattle are usually sold as stockers al
every age from weaving time to ma
turity. Recently many fat calves have
been going to the slaughterhOuses.
From the North and West large part
of the cattle go to market grass-fat

Baby-beef production is a highly
specialized business and is adapted to
regions where there is plentiful sup
ply of fattening feeds together with
good pasture for the summer main
tenance of the breeding herd and rI'lrs-
ing calves. The corn belt is the best
place for this system, but IT is prac-
ticed to some extent in other places.
When to Finish Baby Beef.
If spring calves are to be finished as
baby beeves, they should be taught to

end of the pasture season and be ready

they should have good pasture for
couple of weeks after weaving. Fall
born calves should be kept on grain
when they are turned on pasture in the
spring. The quantity Of grain should
be gradually increased throughout the
summer and fall so that they will be
finished for market in December or
January. When the pasture fails, hay
and silage should be supplied.
Stocker calves require some meal or
grain during their first winter to keep
them thrifty and growing. They can
utilize to advantage much more rough
age, such as stalk fields, meadows
silage, and straw than baby beeves.
AS yearlings and two-year-olds they
may be wintered on roughage alone,

Improve Each Generation.

In profitable beef production herd
of good cows and good purebred
bull are of greaI Importance. Each
generation of cattle raised should be
better than the preceding one. This
can be accomplished by selecting the
best heifer calves each year to take
the place Of barren, shy-breeding, and
old cows, and buying better bull each
two or three years. All other calves
produced may be sold either as wean-
lings at six or eight months old. as
stockers or feeders at one or two years,
finished as baby beef at sixteen to
twenty months, or as fat steers at an
older age The system employed
depends largely upon the pasture
and feed available, transportation costs,
and the market price of milk and
cattle.
The systems of handling beef-breed-
ing herds which are most extensively
practiced are "beef," "baby beef" and
"dual-purpose." In the first two sys-
TENS calves run with their dams I'M
til weaned,. the cows not being MIXED.
They differ in that cows intended for
producing calves for baby beef gen.
orally receive better care because their
calves are to be fattened shortly after
weaving, which makes 1t necessary to
give them good start on milk.
The straight beef system is primarily
adapted to the range country of the
West and South, which Is too rough,
dry, or sandy for cultivation. Where
the climate permits, pasture is de-
pended on the year round. Some cot

Umbrella Sign Of Married Man.

umbrella he checks, asserts the young
capitalist who presldes over the cloak
room of a family restaurant. If he
has two weather sticks, one heavy.
cheap affair, that was purchased with
the idea of being soon lost, and the
other of finer material, it's a sure bet
that he's married.
According to this psychologist, mar
ried folks when they start out in the
rain each carries his own umbrella SO
they can have the minimum of inc0n-
venience and retain a maximum of
dryness. In the nrenuptial times the
male of the species would never hear
of the woman battling the winds alone.
He would carry the umbrella over her
and get wet himself. But they're mar
ried now, and that makes difference.
