How much remarkable musical
talent Is wasted for the world

can never know" Del Pozo, the i'm.
presario Of the trio, said recently.
Those particularly gifted In sing.
ing and acting will be selected from
the public schools of the city. They
can rehearse after school hours.
There would be a different cast for
each child's opera--hundreds would
benefit by the training in this way.
"They can continue to take part
in the repertory until they are old
enough to try for places in the
Metropolitan and other organiza-

A Bune, Of Apenrade, Schlesw1g,
formerly belonging to Germany

owner Of the Don Steamship Com

Thomas w. Miller, alien property
custodian, and Frank White, treas
urer Of the United States, to re-
cover the amount of the increment
on the use for three years by the
Government of nearly $1,OO0,OOO'
Plaintiff claims that the Govern,
ment only returned the principal
to him after using it for nearly
three years. Bune says he Is now
a. Danish subject.
The court is told that at the
time of the seizure by the anen
property custodian in FEBRUARY,
1919, plaintiff had on deposit In
various banks 1891, 540.S9. Bune
says he was not aware OF the IN

that an increment had been gained
by it. He received only the princl-
pal and now asks the court to re-

earned on his money.
Justice Siddons recently held that
the United States cannot be re-

Here is what Mr.. Jos. j. Matthews. Sol

"For years I've been the victim of stomach
trouble. know what it is to have sour gas
so bad that my breath came in short gasps
know that terrible burning in the bit of
my stomach, also the choking feeling in my
throat. All these symptoms coming from
poor digestion are we'll known to me. but
I'm free of them all now
II read so much about Dreco that got
some and I've never had any medicine do
me so much good. I am entirely rid of the
gas my breathing is easy and the relief
Greco also regulated my bowels, which
formerly troubled me by getting constipated.
It also acted on my liver, am overioved bv
the grand relief Dreco gave me-"
Dreco is different from most medicines
sold today, for it is free of alcohol, which
more or less tends to irritate weak ston
ach. Dreco soothes burning delicate stom-
ach and quickly relieves sourness, gas
cramps and nausea.
Dreco being made from the juices and
extract of twelve medicinal herbal plants,
has a prompt action on the bowels and
pleasantly overcomes constipation even of
long standing. It rouses a sluggish liver
to action and ends dizziness, spots before
the eyes, and biliousness. Dreco strength
ems weak kidneys and relieves aching, rheu-
matte joints
Those in need of reliable tonic to build
them up, strengthen the system, quiet the
nerves, improve the appetite and end con-
stipation should begin taking Dreco without
delay.
Dreco is pleasant to take and prompt to
act.
Dreco is being specially introduced bv the
O'Donnell Drug Stores and sold by druggists
everywhere.

Head Of Service Says ccun-
try's Safety Depends on
Plane Supremacy.
BY international News Service.

A~-SVA AAseUANAAeNA
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 90
Future safety Of the United States
may depend on the air service,
Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chief
Of the United States Air Service, be-
lieves.
General Patrick recently paid a
visit of inspection to the new flying
field here. He Is a member OF the
old schoo!-forty.one years in the
army
There have been just wars and
there will be just wars. Let us be
prepared for Them" General Patrick
declared. 1.-THE victories Of future
wars will be determined in the air"
he continued.
"The work Of the Air Service De.
nartment is hampered. Ny hands
are tied by Congress. There seems
to be feeling that there will be no
more war and that there ii no need
for development In the air.
Points to History.
I'm answer let me refer to his
tory. During the last lat years there
has been q definite need for our
army in an active way on an average
Of once every eighteen months.
THE air. service is the eyes Of
the army. We don't want to 80 into
battle like a blindfolded boxer.
THE second purpose OF the cir
service is to combat the enemy. The
air force Of the United States ii
Qualitatively equal to or superior tt
that OF any other nation, but II ID
not large enough.
Whether war may come from
| outside or from internal strife, II
| may be that some day we will have
to hold up our heads and say You
shall not! to someone, and It Ii
| imperative that we be prepared.
AS TO the commercial side OF the
development OF the air service, we
are on the eve OF an era Of ex
tremely rapid transportation.
The exploit Of those two Of my
boys who recently spanned the con
tinent in day was not done to make
records, which were incidental, but
to test and better equipment, to
demonstrate what can be done and
to experiment in the field Of long
distance flying"
Personnel Too Small.
As to the present air service
General Patrick said there are $50
officers and $500 enlisted men in
the service-"an exceedingly small
number in comparison with other
nations."
A recent allotment Of 100 addi.
tional men to the service will heir
out greatly, he said. He also told OF
the United States superiority in the
development OF some OF the air serv
ice.
Metal planes are coming into
greater use" he said. with them
we get speeds Of from $50 to ITO
miles an hour-ten to- fifteen miles
an hour faster than those of other
countries"
An airport Is essential to every
community, he said, in connection
with commercial development OF the
airplane.
General Patrick said that he did
not believe the small, low-powered
! light plane, such as the one weigh
ing less than 400 pounds used in a
| successful flight over the English,
Channel recently, has much Of q
place in army air equipment.
I'm training its use is valuable, y
he said.
He also said an advanced type OF
plane designed by American en-
gineers is, supplanting the De Havi
land models, which now are stand
ard.
