~ pecting the Postman to bring you
dividend check from Central Maine Power
Company?
Over H. 600 Maine people are. They are

For some stockholders who have

Just so long as Maine homes and industries

as Maine rivers flow to the sea-then just so
long, we believe, will these people always
receive their dividends. These dividends

NAVY AVIATORS
ARE PICKED MEN
Officer Describes Differ
ences From Service
on Land
(Ry The Associated Press

Los ANGELES, Dec. 23@Up in the
ar in the navy is a mans sized job, il
was declared by Captain Thomas T.
Craven, u. $. n, commaadant Of the
North Island Naval Air Station in San
Diego. in a recent address before the
Los Angeles sector, Association of the
Army of the United States. The diff
eiences between the operations Of the
land and sea services in the air were
Jvividly described in lie light of the ex-
pert knowledge required Of a naval flier
to meet the great number Of peculiar
p oblems not faced BY shore aviators.
After having passed the physical and
expert qualification for Il flier, the
naval aviator must become a proficient
radio operator, 20 words Il minute
sending and receiving. Then he must
be q nantical navigator, ar expert in
gas explosives, and understand the the
DRY of operations of battleships, de-
st oyers and submarines, for when he
leaves his ship station his station also
moves away, and not only must he know
how to find it, but must appreciate its
mCveme * 50 not to i%njure t..
Communication By radio is establish
ed between naval airplancs and all types
Of naval craft, even submarines oper-
ating under the surface Of the sea.
Naval airplanes are launched from sub
primes, from battleships, from dirig-
ibles, and from airplanes also may
alight, but with a 50 foot runway in
stead Of 4 large field to land upon.
An important factor in airpiane oper-
ations at sea is the smoke screen, and
a thorough knowledge Of the science re-
lating to this is essential. Fulther-
more, the navy flier must understand
gas bombs, the navy using bombs OF
Sufficient PHOSPHORUS 'c,1tent, when
exploded over a battleship, to annihilate
the whole crew. Tie planes also dis
charge torpedoes.
Another problem in opc alton, Cap
tain Craven said, is the destructive eff
fect of salt air on airplanes and their
material, this not only requiring great
care and attention to the coalition Of
the planes, but the development Of col
craft that may be taken down
and slowed away below decks and pro
tected f ON tire clements.

INCOME TAX STUNS
 FOREIGN STUDENTS
Germany Announces That They
 Are kOt Exempt From Paying Il

ReFlin, Aug, se,-seFeral thousand foreign students in Germany among them many Americans, were stunned recently when the government let it he known that students were not eK- empt from paying the ten per cent income tax which is imposed upon Germany and foreigners alike, The students contend that it was always understood among them that as their incomes were derived from private sources. and not from any business carried on within Germany. the gor- ernment had no intention Of taxing them in any form whatsoever
 The question came 10 a head rs- gently when an American, who had been studying in Dresden for two years. applied for a wise on his pass port which would permit him 10 leave Germany. The wise was refused on the ground that the student could show no receipt indicating that he had paid tax on the income derived from his folks at home. An appeal was made 10 the United States consular officials. but they were unable to aid him in his predicament.
 Other Americans in Berlin. Hcidel- berg and other university towns. since have also taken the matter up with tha United States consular officials. contendins that as they were under the impression that they would not have to pay the income taxes here they had spent the money from home as fast as 1t came and as they have no reserve funds on hand 10 pay the Ger man government the amounts they de- manded, they are at a loss now what step to take next. It is estimated that there arc approximately 400 American students here who have ben attending the various universities.
