honor it has been erected.
According to Mr.. Brady's calendar,
Adam was born October %, in the

the custom OF Mr.. Brady to journey to
the monument on Adams birthday to
lay wreath on it and to hold with
such Of his friends and admirers as
might attend, a sort OF Memorial day
service. This year Mr.. Brady's poor
health has made it impossible for him
to pay his annual tribute to his orig

MAY USE PIGEONS TO
DIRECT ARTILLERY FIRE
Army Signal Corps Considers Using
Birds to Carry Messages
to Lines.

washington.-PO extensive use
Of pigeons in directing artillery fire is
engaging the attention of the signal
corps Of the army.
Observers in advancing positions re-
lease the birds, carrying messages tell
ing where the shells are falling. and
they are trained to fly back to the
lines. This method would be used
when other channels of communica-
ton, such as radio or telephones. were
not available. The Germans utilized
pigeons to direct artillery fire on the
eastern front during the World war.
There are now 1900 birds at yari-
GUS posts, in the keeping of the signal
corps, which has breeding center for
them at Camp Vail, N. ]. The
birds are retained at the various
army corps area headquarters, in the
insular possessions and in Panama.
It takes from ten days to two weeks.
officers say, to train pigeon to re-
turn to it's loft and get It's bearings.
Pigeons do not fly well at night and
as rule are not outstanding in in
telligence. Difficulty has been expe-
rienced with pigeon fanciers In the
army, who wish to make pigeons a
major method OF communication.
Only one bird In ten is considered cap
able of flying 500 miles in one day.
In the canal zone hawks constantly
menace pigeons while In fight. To
overcome this a whistle is fastened to
the tail of the bird, and as it flies the
rush Of air causes the whistle to sound
and frightens away birds Of prey.
