Engaged in the vital profession OF
school teaching, she has permitted
neither money nor fame to interfere
with her fidelity to her duties. Too
young to have enlisted in the World
War, her son became a student at one
of the big State universities. His IN
terest in aviation led him to an Army
aviation school, and in 1925 he was
graduated as an airplane pilot. In
November, 1926, he had reached the
rank of captain in the Officers Re-
serve Corps.
Making his home in ST. Louis, he
had joined the 10th Observation
Squadron of the Missouri National
Guard. Some of his qualities noted
by the Army officers who examined
him for promotion, as shown by re-
ports in the files of the Militia Bureau
of the War Department are as fol-
lows: Intelligent Industrious 'ener-

quick of reaction Serious 'deliber-

navigated the globe. One of our Navy
men started from California and flew
far enough to have reached Hawaii,
but, being off hsi course, landed in the
water. Another officer of the Navy
has flown to the North Pole. Our own
country has been traversed from shore
to shore in a single flight.
"It had been apparent for some time
that the next great feat in the air
would be a continuous flight from the
mainland of America to the mainland
of Europe. Two courageous French.
men made the reverse attempt and
passed to a fate that is as yet un-
known. Others were speeding their
preparations to make the trial, but it
remained for an unknown youth to
tempt the elements and win. 1t is the
same story of valor and victory by a
son of the people that shines through
every page of American history.

loudly their belief that someone was
playing a trick on them and re
sponded by making such under
handed methods Improbable.
+. +. Fox, member of the poultry
husbandry staff of the Oregon agri-
cultural college, has conducted an
extensive investigation and, after
taking the feelings of Mrs. Hen into
consideration, has discovered that
fooling the poor chicken isn't such
good business.
On the basis of years produe.
ton, Fox learned, lighted hen hous-
es do not pay. The lights stimulat-
ed production during winter months
he said, but this increase was more
than offset by decline during the
remainder Of the year.
The hen house lighting trick was
to turn electric lights on before
sun-up. The hens were supposed to
think il was day time and get up
and go about their business of lay.
