the class, the largest consignment the
academy has ever sent to the air SER
vice, and it is the first class upon
which the government is trying out its
new system of turning out two classes

Maj. Ralph Royce.
The class at the Primary Flying
School now numbers go. OF this
number So are 1923 graduates of West
Point. Other student officers who
are not West Point graduates include
eight second lieutenants recently ap-
pointed from civil life and detailed in
the air service: seventeen regular
army officers transferred to the air
service from other branches of the
army; four National Guard officers
and p reserve officers who are gradu-
ates of r. o. T. c. units in the col
leges they attended, graduating last
June. OF the eight regular army Off

tailed for air service training. When
they successfully complete their pri-
mary and advanced training. the lat
ter at Kelly Field, they will be COM
misioned second lieutenants in the

joining the regular service with a
good chance of being made non

Al the class at the Primary Flying
School is the largest in history. it

stpdctors is the largest. All the Off
GERS at Brooks Field were pressed into
the service and still it was necessary
20 get more. As many non-commis-
stoned instructors as possible were OBJ
tanned, and several other officers were
sent to Brooks Field for the pur-
pose of instructing. A number of ca

AT kETCHIkAN
 ALLOW PAY FOR rOL ERTlME

Postmaster E. E. Blackmar of the city of ketchikan has received au- thorization from the postal depart ment to pay overtime for the handling of mails when they arrive a, night. The allotment is small, it is said, but it is hoped it will be increased so as to provide pay for postmasters work ing over eight hours.
 If Postmaster Root charged over time for his services he would practi- cally bankrupt the government, as double the mail passes through the Seward office than any other office in the territory At times MT. Root and his clerks work nearly all night in order to accommodate his patrons, and for his extra work he receives thanks from the public-not.
 Seward should be allowed an extra clerk or Mr. Root should adopt the Ketchikan postmaster's style.
