New Aerial Policy Is Announced
 in Army

Washington, June 26 Upl-Onicers In army combat groups. as well as student officers at West Point, are to undergo actual flying instruction with view to increasing the CO., operation necessary between various branches when in battle.
 The new aerial policy, devised by Brigadier General Hugh A. Drum, chief of the operations section of the general staff, and approved by Acting Secretary of War Davis, would add flying instruction 10 the curriculum at the army's major schools. A special board of off cers to be convened at the war de- partment will prepare the courses
 Officers who cannot be compelled to fly in peacetime also are 10 be invited 10 take training beginning next year, with at least ten hours in the air. They would receive credit for the flying through nota- tions of their service records, but war department officials have under consideration q proposal 10 ask con- gross to provide flying pay and in- creased government Insurance for those who take the course.
 The aviation courses at West Point are 10 be extended and after graduation the cadets will be sent 10 flying schools for more intensive training, Similar elaboration of the aviation instruction has been or dered for students nt Annapolis, but thus far no provision has been made for aerial training for naval officers who have graduated.

Radio Owners Invited
 To Pay for Programs

Rio de Janeiro. June 26 P)-The honesty of radio fans in Brazil is the basis used by the principal broadcasting station at Rio de Jan eiro for securing operating funds. Persons with sets who listen in on the programs are expected 10 en- roll as members, the fee being $5.00 a year. There are now 2,000 mem- bers.
 Broadcasting is developing slowly in Brazil due 10 the high duty on foreign sets Dealers say there would be a big expansion in busi- ness If the broadcasters in the United States could force their mu- sic through the heavy sea of static which prevents Brazil listening to American entertainments.

executive. who cnuntered with 'a let. ter to the district attorney and the governor calling for the mayors removal from office on the ground that he had violated the penal code providing against Corrupt use of position or authority"
 While Father Knickerbocker is wiping his brow trying to keep track of the barrage of charges and counter-charges. one sure thing stands out and that is the five cent fare issue" This was the issue that carried the mayor Into City Hall. ...
 Republicans and civic organiza- tions claim the five cent fare isn't an issue at all now but that 1t is being dragged in by the heels for campaign purposes. They even ac- cuse the mayor of holding up the building of much new subways for the benefit of the millions who hang on straps daily 10 and from work.
 So far scarcely man has been mentioned seriously for the republi- on nomination. There has been talk of the republicans merging again with democrats not In favor Of Fly Ian, but only talk. The c. O. P. leaders apparently are enjoying the row within the Wigwam on Four teenth street and hoping for wide split that will allow republican to win in a democratic stronghold.
 The mayor, who is described by his enemies as super-demagogue and by his friends as an everlasting friend of the people, is furnishing most of the ammunition for the bat tie. He is again using the phrases made familiar in his previous cam paigns: "The Sordid Traction Inter- ests." "The Corrupt Press" "The Wall Street Gang" and "Tho Mon eybund."
 The political forecast Is Warmer.

NEW YORK HAS
 HOT CAMPAIGN
Hylan and Opponents Prepare for Battle

New York. June 2s tBy the As- sociatcd Press)--Father Knicker- lockers political temperature has started on its quadrennial ascension which marks the opening of his mayoralty fight. Wise or other wise. diagnosticians predict a high fever for the old gentleman long be- fore primary day rolls around in September.
 Hitherto these feyers' freauently have been due 10 attempts by re- publicans and fusionists to twist the tail of the Tammany tiger. This time if that feat IS to be accom- plishcd 1t may be by one of the same political faith--Mayor John F. Hylan. a"t
 Tho mayor, who has held office for eight years, Is desirous of an- other term. Whether he will be re- nominated by the democratic party Is a question the Tammany chief tains have not yet officially decided, but If he does not get the regular nomination he Is expected 10 run independently.
 George W. Olvany, who succeed cd the late Charles F. Murphy as chieftain of Tammany Hall, has maintained the silence characteristic of past leaders of the Wigwam. But there Is a group within the demo- cratic party calling for another can- didate and large section of the metropolitan press has taken up the cry. Governor Al Smith, a favorite son of Tammany, and the leader of the state democracy. has been bom- bsrded with advice to throw his po- ntical might toward the elimination, of the mayor as the regular party candidate.
 The governor and the mayor are not political friends of the Damon and Pythias type, but the former is keeping his thoughts to himself. There have been conferences with Tammany leaders behind closed doors at Albany, but If any decision HdS DtEll lt IiuS HUI bNtOhiS public. The mayor was not in at tendance at these conferences, but his friend, John H. McCooey, the democratic leader of Brooklyn, was there.
 Hearst's Stand
 Meantime William Randolph Hearst and his paper, firm support CTS of the mayor in his two cam paigns, have indicated they will support him again, even if he runs independently. The governor has had some violent clashes with Mir. Hearst in years past.
 The possibility of the mayor run ming independently is agitating the Tammany brares. The managers of the Wigwam are practical politi- clans, with an eye to the patronage at stake. The mayor of New York rules an empire and these politi- clans are not losing sight of the fact that the metropolis has many thou sands of employes whose payroll runs up into the millions.
 Father Knickerbocker's peace Of mind has often" been disturbed dur ing the last eight years by picker in6s in. the. city government. The mayor and some of his official fam fly have sometimes led a cat and ,.og life.
 .s. Mayors Coup.
 This week, the mayor sprung coup by calling in departmental heads and inviting those who were not for him to remove their feet from under the Hyian patronage table. While the meeting was not public. it was announced that those present, including eight Tammany leaders. had endorsed his proposed nomination "by acclamation.'
 This aroused the ire Of Comptrol- Ter Charles l.. Craig. Tammany man, but a bitter foe of the city -

brought them home ahead of their

WARNS OF FOREST FIRE
This Month is Dangerous on
Account of Dry Grass and
Brush.

Arrival of the forest fire danger
season earlier than usual resulted
in awarning to the citizens of Wis
consin, issued by the state conser-
walton commissioner.
The spring season when the for
est fire menace returns was earlier
this year, c. L. Harrington, chief of
the forestry division of the COM
mission, said. AS a result, he de-
clared, caution against the starting
of fires is necessary from now I'M
til June.
THE number, extent and des-
Effectiveness of fires depend upon
weather conditions primarily" Mr..
Harrington explained. "The nor
NAL fire season over the northern
region of Wisconsin opens about
April. The risk is light for the
first fifteen days.
April showers not only bring
May flowers, but also cut down the
risk from forest and cut-over land
fires.
with the approach of May the
risk rises and becomes most acute
the second and third weeks of this
month. The greening out of the
vegetation reduces the risk mater
tally the latter part of May, and
through June, July and August the
risk normally is light because of
we'll distributed summer rain. How
ever, it should be borne in mind
that a very distinct summer fire
risk may develop with any sort Of
drought condition which not infre-
quently occurs.
With the browning of the veg
citation in the fall the risk from
fires rises sharply, and the month
of October is the month of great
est hazard. The warm days of In
dian summer with frosty nights
and Drowned off vegetation creates
a situation of high hazard from all
outdoor fires.
THE normal weather conditions
of the state, therefore, indicate the
hazards from outdoor fires in the
spring and fall months. Of course,
variations occur from season to
season. For instance, the season of
1924 was relatively wet, and no
material risk from fires all during
the summer season developed.
Again the prevalence of rains in
the spring may reduce the fire risk
to the vanishing point"

OLDEST VOTING COUPLE
MIR. and Mrs. Glodgo, Aged
81 and 70; Cast Their
Votes at April Election.

Said to be the oldest couple vot-
ing at the spring election, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. Glodgo, mother and father
of Mrs. Agnes Radcliffe of Fishtrap
lake near Boulder junction cast
their votes together at the recent
spring election, just before going
to the home of their other daugh-
ter, Mrs. Mack KelIar at Wausau.
This is a distinction in itself and
possibly holds the record in this
North Woods over any other old
folks.
But that is not all. July the
third, last year, Mr.. and Mrs.
Glodgo celebrated their 59th we'd
ding anniversary at the home of
Mrs. Radcliffe on Boulder. There
were present both the daughters;
grand children to the number of
ten; great grandchildren nineteen
in number. One sister to Mr..
Glodgo whose age is seventy-eight
years, and who came all the way
from Miami, Florida helped the
aged couple celebrate the anniver-
sary.
To not many are melted out the
living together for three-score
years, and add to that their duties
as American citizens when the time
comes when all good men and
women rally to the support of their
state and county, they certainly
deserve recognition from their ac-
quaintances in the community
which gives them sustenance.
