SAFE FLYING RECORD

An unusual record for safe flying was brought to notice few days ago. when President Coolidge presented the Harmon trophy for 1926 to Shirley J. Short of the United States air mail service
 Mr Short selected for the honor of having flown 7l8 hours covering 57 40 miles, during the year without m1shap. Since his appointment to the mail service in 1923 he has flown 235, ,754 miles up to the end of 1926
 During his service MT. Short has piloted various types of a1panes used by the Postoce Department on scheduled trips day and night in all kinds of weather
 The Harmon trophy is awarded annually to the avi- aor who has done most during the year demonstrate the reliability of the arpane as means of transporta ion, and is donated by Clifford Harmon pioneer Amer can balloonist and aviator living in Paris Mr. Har holds the balloon endurance record having remained in the air AS hours and 26 minutes in 19O9 and was also the first aviator to fly across Long Island sound.
 His encouragement of safety in aviation is most commendabe contribution to the rt and serves to call to public attention the dependabity of the arpane in the hands of skilled and careful pilots like Mr. Short.

The contention that people from

WARNS ARMY MEN
F. TO WEAR UNIFORMS
Secretary Attacks Officers
Use of Civilian Attire at
Military Posts.

Apparent Indifference O.. the part
of many Regular Army officer" to the
wearing Of the regulation uniform at
military posts and the growing tend
ency among officers to wear civilian
clothes and athletic costumes in their
quartz has led the Secretary of War
to issue specific instructions for n
strict observance Of the Army regula'
tions on the subject.
Commanding officers everywhere are
enjoined ito charge themselves with
re establishing that pride in the wear
ing of the uniform which has been the
unique privilege of the fighting man
from time immemorial." Officers on
duty with troops" the order says,
must be impressed with the great
value of the uniform as a means Of
instilling the military spirit. Some
of dress of the fighting man, as dis
tinguished from his fellows. has been
a valuable inheritance from the ex-
perience OF past ages. The wearing
of civilian clothes on a military
reservation by Regular Army officers
not only creates in the officer an at
titude of indifference and repugnance,
hut transmits that spirit to the en-
listed man and contravenes one or the
most universally acknowledged aids to
discipline and military pride"
Enlisted men at some posts. 1t IS
stated, are permitted to drill IN fatigue
clothes and to wear such clothes On
other occasions where the uniform
properly should be worn. IF the
pride of the soldier for his uniform
Declines" says the order "it will have
a correspondingly injurious effect upon
the military spirit. Paragraph Is,
A. r., authorizes enlisted men to wear
the fatigue uniform on duty In the
performance of which the clothing
worn may become soiled or unsightly.
In this paragraph the War Depart
ment has allowed a certain discretion
in the lower echelons Of the Army as
regards the using of the fatigue uni
form for enlisted men. While attend
ing stables, cleaning equipment and
material, manning, under certain con.
ditions, the heavier calibre guns and
performing certain other duties out OF
ranks to be determined by the proper
authority, the fatigue uniform serves
a valuable purpose. But the pre-
scribed uniform for drill Is the service
uni'orm-not the fatigue clothes-and
the substitution of the fatigue uniform
at drill for the prescribed uniform OF
the soldier is in no way contemplated
in the above regulations. Any abuse
of the discretion permitted therein
shows a lack of appreciation of mill
tary psychology"

electrified when the kernels are broken
up by the cylinder teeth.
Supporting the theory, investigation
has shown that 76 per cent of the ex.

Governor Urges Law Allow.
ing Natives to Elect Own
Executive in 1882.

BY the Associated Press.
Passage of a law which would per-
nit the people of Porto Rico to elect
their own governor in 1892 was rec
commended to President Coolidge yes
terday by Gov. Towner Of the Island.
In recommending the legislation,
the governor presented memorial
sig led by representatives of all of
tfs political parties in Porto Rico.
setting forth the reasons why the
island is now ready to select its own
executive.
Mr.. Towner backed the suggestion
of the insular political leaders that a
stipulation be made by which the
President would be empowered to re-
move the governor for cause.
The chief objection to an elective
native governor, Gov. Towner said,
came from resident Americans with
large holdings in the island. but he
felt that their objections were not
founded on a clear understanding of
the progress which Porto Ricans have
made in recent years.
The governor reported that condi-
tions in the islands in an economic,
industrial and social way were inn
proving steadily and that business
showed every sign of going on undis-
tarbed in the future. He expects to
return to San Juan shortly, and said
there was no foundation for reports
that he would resign soon.
