manufacture must be supplied with
half a pint of cocoa made with milk
on arriving at work in the morning.
Moreover, the women are compelled
to drink it. This is because milk is

short time 1t was consumed by the

Through Fire Field.
When the plane landed, it bounced
off the ground again for few feet
and then struck on its left wing. AS
it turned over Comdr. Wilson was
tossed out, and the next thing he re-
called was that he was crawling on
his hands and knees through a field
of fire. The gasoline tank had broken
and the fuel had saturated the grass
for several feet about the plane, and
this was ignited by the fire in the
ship. Most of the burns about the
hands were received while the pilot
was making his escape from the fire.
While crawling through the fire
Comdr. Wilson held his breath, and
this, the naval fight surgeon said.
prevented him from inhaling any of
the fire.
This afternoon Comdr. Wilson was
taken to the Naval Hospital for an
x-ray to determine if he had received
any injuries about the back, where
he landed by being thrown out of the
plane. He was then removed to his
home and probably will be confined
there for several days.
Courage Is Lauded.
The landing Of the plane was made
just a short distance from clump
of trees which skirts the south end
OF the field. Had the pilot been un-
able to get the wheels on clear ground
the plane would have crashed into
the growth, possibly with serious re-
suits.
Naval aviators at the station lauded
the GOODNESS and courage of Comdr.
Wilson in the face of such serious
circumstances. They pointed out that
he was powerless to fight the fire with
the fire extinguisher carried in the
plane owing to the fact that he could
not abandon the controls at such low
altitude. There was nothing to do but
think quickly and act quicker, they
said, which the pilot did.
Graduated in October.
Comdr. Wilson was graduated from
the Pensacola Naval Training School
last October, the second in his class.
Since that time he has risen rapidly
in flying, having piloted virtually
every type of plane used by the Navy.
He is particularly fond of the Curtiss
single scatter fighter, difficult ship to
handle, owing to its high speed, and
has flown it regularly for many
weeks.
Comdr. Wilson recently was cited
by Secretary of the Navy Wilbur for
his large contribution to the develop
ment of the Wright "Whirlwind' en-
CINE and air-cooled plants of larger
horsepower. Prior to his detail to
the design section Of the bureau he
was chief of the engine section. In a
few months he will leave Washington
for duty with the aircraft squadrons,

THE sroRrsMAN's PRAYER

Dear Lord, in the struggle that goes
on through life.
ask but a field that is fair,
A chance that is equal with all in
the strife
A courage to give and to dare.
And II l should win. let 1t be by
the code,
With my faith and my honor held
high:
If / should lose. let me stand by
the road
And cheer as the winners go by.
And, Lord, let my shouts be I'M
grudging and clear.
A tribute that comes from the
heart;
Let me not cherish a snarl or a
Bneer,
Or play n sniveling part.
Let me say. There they ride on
whom laurel's bestowed.
Since they played the game better
than 1:
Let me stand with a smile by the
side of the road
AND cheer as the n go Dy.
SO. Lord, grant me to conquer II
conquer l can,
BY proving my worth In the fray;
Yet teach ME to lose like a regular
man,
And not like a craven, l pray.
Let me take off my hat to the con-
querors who strobe
To victory splendid and high;
Yea, let me stand with a smile by
the side Of the road,
And cheer as the winners go by.

There is no better way to spend
leisure time than by reading good
books. Book reports seem to be
unnecessary work, but they make II
possible to know and enjoy books
that are valuable not only for pleas
ure but also knowledge and interest
in good literature.
Every English class has a list
from which each student may choose
ten or twelve books; there is a
wide choice of material so everyone
.s able to read what most interests
him All of the books are widely
read and well kLcwn-beaks for
which everyone should want 10 set
aside time to read. There are nov
els. biographies. books of travel, ad-
venture and history-literature of
every type.
Who could consider 1t work to
read such books as "Innocents
Abroad by Mark Twain. or to feel
the thrill of adventure in Roose-
velt's book. African Game Trails"
to know such characters as '"The
Beloved vagabond' and "Cyrano de
Bergerac?" These people soon be-
come friends and 1t is not hard to
learn to enjoy them.
