Hester, residents of old Virginia, and
Mrs. Bailey's relatives. ..
Two plates. supposed to be ut least
POO years old, have the following in
scription: "Ironstone China" directly
under this is, Anthony Shaw. Tun-
STALL" One can readily see that these
plates must have formerly been part
of n collection of rare ihina.
But the curicsities do not end with
china. There is an Odd Fellows re-
gala, which was worn by Mrs. Bailey, S
father, who was the highest officer in
his lodge. This regalia consists of a
vest and an apron. Both are made OF
satin with real silver fringe around the
edges These pieces are 20 years old
and there is not n break in the satin.
All of the emblems of the lodge are
on the two pieces, including the stars,
hand, heart, bow ard arrow. the eye
and the three links of the chain.
Made i'm Ohio.
Mrs. Bailey also treasures n daguer-
rcotype picture taken the day her father
and mother were married. This picture
is 62 years old.
Mrs. Bailey possesses two bed cover
lids. one of which is over 200 years
old. The oldest one was made by Mrs.
Bailey's Observation-Disclosures. 1t is
made of wool and cotton with beauti-
fully designed flowers, fowls and num-
beers of objects. The figures in this
spread are as perfect as those seen in
an Oriental rug. The cthtl coverlid is
made entirely Of cotton and has prac-
tically one design. On The border, the
name of the town III which the maker
lived is written and can plainly be seen.
This spread is also hard-wOyen and
was made long ago m Urbann. Ohio
These two articles were handed down
to Mrs. Bailey's mother, who in turn
gave them to her.
A gold pencil. the exact age of which
is not known, is another valuable pcs
session. This pencil was a present
from Mrs. Baileys grandfather to his
wife. Mrs. Baileys father next gave
it to his future wife when they werc
sweethcarts. r..

KELLY REVIEW
TERMED BEST
BY COMMANDER
More Than Thirty Planes
Made Flight Satur-
day.
WIN GREAT PRAISE

Showing as Very Ex-
cellent.
WIN GREAT PRAISE

In what was termed by Col. John ii.
Howard, commander of Kelly Field, as
one of the best aerial reviews held here,
six different squadrons of planes flew
before the commanding officer in review
Saturday. More than thirty planes
made up the flight. Groups of planes
began taking off at 10 o'clock just fol-
lowing a review of Kelly Field troops
by Colonel Howard.
Spads, DeHavilands and Y. z. Ia
types of ships flew in formations around
the field, and when passing before the
commanding officer dropped low toward
the ground. The leader of one group of
DeHavilands almost touched his wheels
to the ground as he led his squadron
of ships past the reviewing officers.
Hold Formation i'm Landing.
The six different groups of planes
took off in V shaped formations almost
simultaneously, each group holding its
formation as they made wide circles
around the flying field. The most per-
feet formation held while flying low be-
fore the commanding officer was by n
group of nine DeHavilands led by Lieut..
+. w. Raley. These planes belonged to
the school group.
No stunts were engaged in during the
review. and flying around the field a
few times the leader of each group
brought his planes to a landing, each
group holding its formation as they
glided to the ground.
Neither the big Martin bomber at
Kelly Field. nor the G. A. y. ar
mored battle planes, took part in Sat
urday's review. In the last aerial re-
view only few weeks ago, both OF
these ships took part.
Night Flight Thursday.
Kelly aviators staged another exhibit
ton of night flying Thursday. Several
planes flew over the city carrying col
Ored lights and attracted much atten-
ton. Not until February will the people
Of the town be treated to another ex-
hibition of night flving. as it was an
nounced at Kelly Field Saturday that
no more night flights would be made
this month.
A large number Of people from San
Antonio were at Kelly Saturday morn
ing TO see the aerial review. The Kelly
Field band furnished music.

Heirlooms Have Been Hand

Years-Old China Pieces
Have Picture Of Pilgrims
Landing at Plymouth.

They could not be bought for any
price," says Mrs. Eva Florence Bailey,
G2G East Woodlawn, in speaking of the
collection of old china and other in
tcresting possessions which she has.
Mrs. Bailey has a collection of plates
and platters which date back as far
as the arrival of the MayfIower, 303
years ago. Imagine the interesting
revelations these old relies could un-
fold.
Possibly the most interesting of these
antiques is n MayflOwer plate handed
down to Mrs. Bailey by her mOther-in-
law, along with an old smoking set
and sauce dish. The age of the plate
is about 303 years, while the ages OF
the other two relics ar1 unknown. The
plate is white china. artistically deco.
rated with blue flowers around the
border. In the center is n painting of

A small boat is seen approaching the
Mayflower, apparently with joyous

Pilgrims. The pictures and flowers or

Contracts for the building of fifteen
miles of road in Uvalde county are ex-
pected to be let within the next three
weeks, according to L. X. Spence, di-
vision engineer of the State Highway
Department. The road, he said, will be-

extend to the Frio river in Uvalde
county. Plans for the next link in the
road from the Frio river to Uvalde, &c.

TAX COLLECTOR
VIOLATES LAW,
IT IS CHARGED
Bitter Claims He Had Asked
for Ruling on Work
ing Women.
MAY FACE CHARGES
Force Compelled to Remain
on Duty Longer Than
Nine Hours.

A request to the Attorney General
Department in Austin was made several
weeks ago by County Tax Collector
John A. Bitter for ruling to deter
mine if the state labor law prohibiting
the employment of women for longer
than nine hours a day applied to his Of
flee. Notwithstanding that no answer
has been received, State Labor Com
missioner j. S. Meyers announced Fri
day that in his opinion Mr.. Bitter was
violating the law and that formal
charges would be preferred.
According to Mr.. Bitter he made APP
plication' for ruling some time ago
and later when representative OF the
attorney generals office was in San
Antonio he ASKED him to secure a ruling
on the case. Mr.. Bitter HAS also
sought an opinion through private coun-
sci. ..-
Saturday morning he forwarded n
communication to County Judge Angus
tus McCloskey seeking information to
cover. the case. During the period of
increased business at the tax collectors
office, extra help is required to take
care of the business. At present about
seven women are employed at the Of
flee. Mr.. Bitter has informed his Of
flee force that they do not have to
work longer than nine hours but in view
of the large number of people standing
in line, the force has insisted in keep
ing longer hours to take care of the
business. he said.
Mr.. Bitter stated Saturday that the
office was trying to please both the
state and the people. Putting off secur-
ing automobile license until the last few
days and delay in paying poll and prop
erty tax made it necessary for the
force to work longer. he said.

1t was learned this week that the

with eastern people for financing the

early in the spring. The nature of the
work has not yet been definitely de-

The showing of ore on No. 3 tunnel
compares favorably with that on No. 2.
At a point about $50 feet from the
portal ore was encountered. and the
present management has followed this
for probably $50 feet in an easterly
direction. About 25 feet from the
tunnel the ore was cut by a dixie that
almost parallels the crosscut, and be-
yOnd the dixie the ore was found for
upwards of 100 feet, most of it appar-
emily of milling grade. A crosscut
northwesterly from No 3 tunnel also
found considerable ore throughout a
large and heavily mineralized area.
but it is not believed that the shoot
described in No. has been located
here, as its dip seems to car

both No. 2 and No. 3 is found in ir-
regular shoots. making it difficult to
determine the trend of the ore as a
whole The work, however, has dis
closed much pay ore, and it is reason
able to expect that this will be found
in more compact mass when devel
oped at further depth.

EDUCATORS TAKE UP
CONSOLIDATION plan

County school superintendents o.
maryland last Thursday promised the

at their meeting held in the Park av-
enue building, baltimore.
School consolidation involves trans
portation of pupils to larger schools
OF the counties. The plan is to provide
higher education for children whose
schooling formerly was considered fin
lsned in the rural schools.
The survey will continue for year.

Child accounting also was discussed
