By the Associated Press.

ROME, February 14.-Italy has
nothing to fear concerning supplies
of grain and cereal provisions before
the next harvest, Cesare Nava, minis
ter of national economy, told the
Tribuna in an interview today, in
which he stressed the necessity of
conservation and economy in order
to make Italy's home production more
clearly correspond to her needs.
He pointed out that although the
grain production at home had greatly
Increased in the last few years, it
would have to be remembered that
the population also had increased in
more than the same proportion.
The minister declared, however, that
the statistics showed the production,
per acre, to be increasing very
rapidly, as the expert agriculturists
had been supplying valuable informa-
ton through their study of methods
of growing, choice of soils and the
use of fertilizers. The reports. he
stated, already show good prospects
for this years crop.

ARMY MODEL AIRWAY
HAS DODGED DEATH
Operated Three Years Without
Single Fatality or Sc
rious Mishap

The Army air service has operated
its model airway'' for three years
without a single fatality or a serious
accident.
The airway, covering many thou
sand miles. has been maintained TO
train pilots in flying under all weather
conditions, and incidentally has rem
dered considerable service in trans
porting personnel and supplies for the
service
Statistics for the three years OPP
Grafton made public today show 546
trips started. 525 completed. 1883
hours flown. $40 passengers carried,
of express carried. In IA crashes there
were no deaths and only minor in
iuries sustained.
The airway touches New York,
Washington, Norfolk. Dayton, Detroit,
Rantoul. ST. Louis, Kansas City. Mus
kogee, Dallas, Fort Worth and San
Antonio. The schedule of operation
calls for weekly flights totaling 1000
miles.
"All this flying" the air service re-
ported, has been done at no addi-
tional expense, inasmuch as existing
personnel and facilities of the Army
were used exclusively
One feature of the airway operation
has been the development of a me-
neurological service, which now is car

month that is actually hot. the aver
age for that month having gone as
high as so degrees some years.
The reason for this difference be-
tween two Summer months is ex-
planned by the fact that August has
shorter days to absorb the RAYS of
the hot Summer sun and longer nights
in which to cool off. As a rule the
nights are cool here during August:
the early afternoon temperature is
sometimes uncomfortable, but within
an hour or two the sun begins slip

in regard to the desira biity of Wash

Mr.. La Vigne declared that in his

ports of the excessive heat in Wash

would investigate. with the result that
he found the average temperature in
Washington very much below that of

the club of the large sums of money
being spent by other cities to attract
people and conventions and declared
that there are ample attractions and
hotel accommodations in Washington
to make it the foremost convention

STONE MOUNTAIN
PLAN IS APPROVED
Augustus Lukeman's Design
for Confederate Memo

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Ga. August 27.-Official
approval of Augustus Lukeman' s
design for the central group of the

tors of the association at a special
meeting here.
The design was submitted in the
form of a sketch model in plaster
which will be enlarged Immediately
to the dimensions of master model
which work will require five or six
weeks.
The design contains seven principal
figures representing the high com
mand of the confederate army, with
two subsidiary figures representing
flag bearers

confederacy and command nder-in chief

fiutters over his shoulder.
Next in order, from left to right,
are the two flag bearers, and to the
right of them are four Confederate
generals. who are to be selected by
historical commission composed of
State historians of the 13 Confederate
States. The figures of these generals
are sketched in a group in the position
they will occupy, but are not modelled
in likeness, as are Davis, Lee and
Jackson.
All Figures i'm Motion.
All figures in the central group are
in motion. so that there is great
deal Of life given to the carving. and
when the monument is carved in the
side of the mountain they will appear
to be riding across it.
Mr.. Lukeman explained that the
group was designed so as to fit the
previous work done, and will necessi-
tate no carving away of granite to
make the mountain ready to receive it.
The group is designed to conform
to the contours of the mountain, COM

There were some delays in the
execution of the model due to physical
conditions created by the work previ-
ously done. This design was made so
as to utilize practically all of the
previous work, with some modifica-
tion.
We expect to start work on the
mountain in a few weeks. The master
model and the working models are
underway.
