BATE GIVES old, new
Time FOR STUDENTS
IN CITY To FOLLOW

Time by which students of the ele-
mentary schools, junior high schools
and senior high school will attend
their respective classes is given in
schedule prepared by Superintendent
w. G. Bate Wednesday.
Whether a family goes by standard
or daylight saving time makes no diff
ference with the school authorities as
long as the time fixed for attendance
is observed. While the schools of the
city are operating on standard time to
meet the needs of all students, close
attention to the prepared schedule
will liminate confusion.
The schedule as prepared will re-
main in effect until Oct. 2, when a new
schedule embodying several changes
will be made public. In following the
appended schedule, the time to be
used, either standard or daylight saw
ing time, depends upon the time fol-
lowed by the several families.
If daylight saving time is observed
by family, then their children must
go by the time set under the head
"daylight time If standard time is
observed by the family, then their
children should follow the time given
for school attendance under the head
standard time"

ARMY FLYER CROSSES
CONTINENT WITH ONE
STOP, SETS RECORD
(By Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. 6.-The
record airplane fight from the Allan
tic to the Pacific coast by Lieut. James
H Doolittle of Kelly field will be a
stimulant to rapid development of
aeronautics in the United States, Lieut.
Col. c. c. Culver, air officer OF the
Eighth corps area, declared today.
This fight in which Doolittle spanned
the continent with one stop would
have a two-fold asset in aviation, he
said. First it demonstrated the feasi-
bility of moving an airf1eat quickly
from one coast to another in tiUe of
national emergency. Second, it re-
vealed the possibilities of commercial
flying for trans-continental passenger
trips in less than "a hours.
THE plan of the. Army air service, .
said Col. Sulver, 'is to locate a large
flying feet on each of the coasts and
one in the center of the country al
San Antonio. By such a system each
of the three fleets would be reinforced
by the other two Lieut.. Doo!ittle's
fight bears out also the possibi ity OF
fast courier service between the two
coasts in time of emergency"
The special DeHaviland airplane
that carried Lieut.. Doolittle across the
continent may be taken with the flyer
from Kelly field to McCook field, Day
ton, O., where he will enter the engi
neering school within then next few
days. Through Kelly field officials re
quest has been made for Doolittle tt
fly his ship to McCook field and use
it there. Aviators here declare the
ship is the best product of the air in
termediate depot at San Francisco ant
has no equal in the entire air service

GREEKS TRY TO STEM
TURKS IN DRIVE TO
TAKE CITY OF SMYRNA

CONSTANTINOPLE Sept. 6-While
the Turks are trying to press their ad-
vantage over the Greeks in their new
drive toward Smyrna the latter are
rushing reinforcements to the scene
and if General Tricoupis can restore
the morale of his men the Nationalists
may be brought to a standstill it is
believed here.
News of the appointment of General
Tricoupis as commander-in-chief was
received with marked enthusiasm by
the local Greek population which now
looks for turn in the fortunes of
their army.
They also point to the success won
by the third army corps in annihilat-
ing an entire Turkish calvary division
west of Bilejik. as indicating that the
Greek morale is not entirely gone.
1t is officially announced that all
the army corps in the southern group
have effected junction, thus still fur
ther improving the situation. High
Commander Sterghiadis is said to be
dealing efficiently with the refuge
problem.
