state and municipal authorities and civic societies.
 The striking difference between the methods under which the United States mobilized for the world war and the plan worked out since lies in the com plete decentralization of all the early stages of mobilization now contem- plated.
 "Our program, Secretary Weeks said, provides for individual and com munity co operation and she exercise of decentralization authority by so many elements, national, state, mu- nicipal and private, that it is desirable to portray the functions and missions of each of these agencies, civil as we'll as military The defense test should illustrate to citizens and communities the initial services required for na- tional defense.
 "The demonstration will be local in nature, and will not involve any in- creased expenditure of public funds. So far as practicable, arrangements and ceremonies will be in accordance with the wishes of local civic commit. tees, as the war department only de- sires an opportunity to illustrate in each community the effect of it's plans for national defense"
 War department officials are hopeful that movement to make the day one of patriotic celebration will be wide- spread, and are certain they will ob- tain much information of value in con- nection with further elaboration of de- fense plans.

Patch Windpipe By
 Grating Thigh Skin

Philadelphia.-One of the most deli- cate and most unusual operations known to surgery was performed in the Hahnemann hospital here Saturday when a mans windpipe was patched" with skin grafted from his thigh.

The surgeons injected ether, suspended in olive oil, in his intestines, and then grafted the skin from his thigh over the opening in the wind pipe.

Washington.-Nati defense plans worked out by the war department during the last foar years are to be subjected September P next to a de ifense test" through a nationwide dem ,onstration. The day was selected as the sixth anniversary of the battle of St. Mihiel.

 Secretary Weeks announced today lthat President Coolidge had author jized the war department to proceed with the defense lest project on which 1the general staff has been working for several months. The war secretary emphasized that the purpose of the demonstration was to inform the pub
 lie of the plans and methods by which American armies will be raised" in any future war emergency.
 The test will be confined to the act nal mobilization of the regular army, national guard, and reserve officer skeleton which composes the peace time organized reserves, to be supple lmented by such voluntary enrolment ,of man power to fill up the reserve units as each community over the country may decide upon for itself. In some cases reserve officers probably will enroll volunteers and assemble them to explain just what an actual mobilization will require. In other eases the test will consist of patriotic meetings held with the cooperation of

COP. HALL WILL BE SHIP
 SHAPE FOR CONVENTION

CLEVELAND, May 23-When the republican pilots who aspire to steer the ship of state gather in the munici- pal auditorium here in June for the national convention, if they find the hall as ship-shape as it's management expects, it will be largely due to the work of the United States navy.
 Lincoln J. Dickey, manager of the hall, after taking charge, experienced difficulty at first in obtaining efficient results from the charwomen. After the women who directed them had fail ed in organizing their efforts to MT. Dickey's satisfaction, he turned to one of the workmen in his employ, James Pokorny. Pokorny had served in the navy. It occurred to MT. Dickey and his assistants that former seaman doubtedless knew something about the swabbing of decks and holystoning forecastles, and would not be afraid of water. He was placed in command of a cleaning crew.
 Soon after the assumption of his new duties, Pokorny was observed in the act of clapping his hands while the charwomen moved in time to his claps. He had established navy morale.
 Seaman Pokorny is still in command of the cleaners and means to see that the delegates find the auditorium "sea-going"
