of a cook in a Wisconsin logging
camp to a position of wealth and in

Wisconsin, on May 5, 1850. His
father was descendant Of the
French Hugenots. His mother was
from Wales. When babe of two
years, he was left motherless, the
youngest of seven children. While
his father was well educated, he
was poor and young Millard. although
ambitious to learn of the world and
it's ways, had a hard struggle for
an education. One day, along in
1865, his father remarked, the new
mother being a widow with two chill

and County Chairmen
For Their Ideas
THE SUBJECT Is TIMELY
President Coolidge's Second
Safety Conference to Be
Held in March
THE SUBJECT Is TIMELY

Steps to launch q statewide safety
campaign which, would make North
Dakota leader in safety work in the
nation were taken today by Governor
A. G. Sorlie In letters 70 mayors Of
cities and chairmen Of county boards
Of commissioners asking their Opin-
ion as to the advisability Of calling
statewide safety conference.
"North Dakota ranks near the top
in the safe driving Of automobiles,
according to the best available in
formation" Governor Sorlie's letter
said. ION the other hand there are
still too many deaths and accidents
in this state due to careless and reck-
less driving and this carelessness
seems to be growing rather than de-
clining.
"All Of use desire that the state
shall retain its enviable reputation
for safe and sane use of our high
ways. This can be done by state
wide campaign of education to pro-
mote greater safety in driving, rigid
adherence to the rules Of the road
and the official and volunteer pro-
mitigation and enforcement Of safety
measures.
Purpose Of Presidents Meeting
President Coolidge has summoned
a second National Conference on
Streets and Highways to be held in
Washington on March 23, ~, and 25
and it's purpose is as follows:
"'This conference was created to
investigate the causes of street and
highway accidents, and to reco<h.t nd

SECRETARY OF WAR DAVIS ORDERS
TWOSEPARATE INVESTIGATIONS OF
CONDITIONS in ARMY AIR SERVICE
Will Look Into Reports That
Air Officers Are Active in
the Interests of a Separate
Air Corps - Anonymous
Circulars Urge "Educa-
tiOnal Work"

Washington, Feb. 8.-R-Investi-
cation of conditions in the army air
service has been ordered by. Secretary
Davis Of the war department.
The secretary wants to know
whether air service officers still are
employing disloyal methods in ear
rying forward the agitation for a
separate air corps.
To establish the facts, two scpar-
ate inquiries have been ordered by
the secretary. One phase has been
placed in the hands of Major Gen
cral Eli A. Helmick, inspector gener-
al of the army. Another has been
entrusted to- Major General Mason NJ.
Patrick, chief Of the air service
Whether disciplinary action will
be taken depends upon the nature
and completeness Of the information
collected. 1t is conceded to be within
the realm of possibilities that a gen
eral shakeup Of air service person
mel, including court-martial proceed
ings similar To those which preceded
the exit Of Colone! William Mitchell
from the army will follow.
Evidence Not Disclosed
While Mr.. Davis and other depart
mcnt officials decline to disclose the
evidence which led to the decision for
sweeping investigation, it is known
! that the war. secretary has in his
possession copies of anonymous docu-
ments believed by some departmental
| authorities to have been mimeo-
graphed and distributed through air
service headquarters. These called
upon recipients, believed to be air
service officers on duty with nation
al guard and reserve organizations
throughout the country, to "get busy
in their support of the air corps bill.
Reported activities Of air officers
! in furnishing congressman with pre-
pared statements intended for dis
tribution through their offices ut
the capitol and supporting other leg
islative proposals for alteration Of
the Presidents air policy also will be
carefully inquired into by the inves-
tigat0rs.
It is we'll understood by all army
officers that President Coolidge con-
