 Among many of the alumnae of the High school the candidacy of Billy Dudack for athletic instructor at the High school is meeting with great favor.
 l During his school days, not so many years ago, he was corking good athlete.
 On the gridiron, he was dashing halfback and explained the champion ship team that defeated Hartford 19 to 0.
 On the diamond he was clever twirler and because he also was a good hitter he likewise played the outfield. And on the basketball court he was a brilliant guard. having starred not only at High school but also on other teams.
 Later he played brilliant football on the Georgetown varsity eleven and also with the Muhlenberg team.
 His coaching system in the west, where he has been located for the past few years, is said to have pro- duced excellent results.

Clerks to Sort Mail
in Speeding Airplane

London.-A flying mail train" is
the latest type of airplane to be devel-
oped In England.
In the planes mail chamber, says
the Daily Chronicles a~eronautical
expert, sorters will be able to carry
on their work just as they might in
a railway mail train. 1t will have a
radius of 1000 miles and will be able
to stay in the air "a hours without
alighting. The crew in charge will be
provided with regular sleeping quar-
tiers on board. They will work in
shifts while in the air, some of them
sleeping while others are on duty in
the control chamber.
If necessary, when flying at night or
immersed in fog or cloud, the crew
will be able to bring into play mech
anisms which will endow the craft
with the power of automatic self-bal-
ance. The machine will virtually fly
itself, and all the helmsman will have
to dc will be to keep it on a compass
course by means of the rudder.

Russ Import Camels
to Replace Horses

New Yor.S.-Peasants in the Samara
district of Russia are importing camels
to take the place Of horses in the regu-
lar farm work, according to a recent
report received at the headquarters OF
the American Relief administration
from r. H. Allen, district supervisor
in Samara.
The camels," says Mr.. Allen, "are
desired by the peasants because they
will eat anything and thrive on it. The
Samara peasant Uses his COW also for
draft purposes, but by incorrect han-
ding ruins her for milking and breed
ing purposes"
In discussing the harvesting pros
poets for the summer, Mr.. Allen says:
"a factor Of even more immediate i'm
pOrtance than the draft problem, In
connection with the harvest, is the
locust.
"At the present time the vast sur
faces of uncultivated grass-grown land
allow locusts an excellent breeding
place. They do not touch rye, which
is sown in the early fall and nearly
mature when they incubate, but they
the tender grass shoots of the
wheat. A return to a larger cultivated
area will gradually eliminate this pest,

the American grasshopper."
