ton of chorus girls" has been created
by Prefect of Police Chiappa. NJ.
Priolct. police commissary for the

The bureau is destined not to pro-
tect chorus girls from the pitfalls and

chanical stage devices
The death of q chorus girl killed at
the Folies Bergeres when an unpro-
tected live wire touched her bare leg
and injuries suffered by three girls at
the Palace when a drop curtain struck
them violently are responsible for the
innovation.
Henceforth a special police officer

The question also involves the one
as to the seniority of the officers
transferred from the volunteer list to
the feet list. In the latter there Is
genei al hneal list: according to dates
of commission and heretofore. it has
been held that the only way an othcer
could get on this list was to so at the
bottom Of the list of ensigns. In other
words. If there was q lieutenant on the
volunteer list qualified for general
service, and eligible to perform all its
duties he could only transfer by TAX
ing lesser rank and going to the
very bottom of that. 1t is now real
lied that this is working hardship. in
that it will deny the Navy the use of
those valuable services because few
are willing to go on the fleet list at
this expense of loss of rank. They
can just remain on the volunteer list
and If on emergency comes. they then
may be called with their full rank
and then assigned to duties for which
they are qualified The only differ.

Make Jellies
Without Staining Fingers-Without
Long Hours Of Boiling-Without
Depending Upon Berries or
Fruit Being In Season.

One Of the most interesting and yet
one Of the simplest new products in
the food field Ia called minute Jelly
1t is pure fruit or berry juice already
boiled down and concentrated. To
this concentrated juice, fruit pectin
in the right amount has been added
The pectin is that part Of fruit which
makes jelly "jell." 1t is as pure and
wholesome as the fruit juice.
To make the jelly take the little
bottle of concentrated Juice, pour In
a sauce pan, add water and sugar ac-
cording to directions on the bottle and
boil few minutes. Then pour into
jelly glasses and when it has become
cold you have the most delicious pure
fruit jelly you ever tasted
A few bottles kept on hand, selected
according to your taste for jellies, anJ
you can make up, few glasses just
as you want it. One small bottle makes
two glasses of jelly. If you wish to
try two bottles send us twenty-five

of grape, mint, pineapple, orange,
raspberry, strawberry or blackberry.

FLYING CONDITIONS QUITE DIFFERENT
 FEW YEARS AG0
THE ARMY'S FIRST AIRPLANE AND PERSONNEL GROWS TO
 VAST PROPORTION

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. 10. (P The appropriations which will be made this year for maintainance of thee army air service would have sounded like the combinded national debts of the nations of the world to Lieut.. Col. B. D. Foulois, who carried the army's flying activities through their first year on an appropriation of $15O.
 Airplanes were rare machines in 1910. San Antonio saw it's first flight in that year when an intiner- ant aeronaut, as he styled himself, conducted a flight from a nearby pasture. About ten days later Lieut.. Col. Foulois, Leiut. Foulois then, ar rived with the army's first plane, one of the primitive Wright models, and assembled it at an army camp here.
 His first flights were apparently successful, as a newspaper of that time records the fact that he broke his own endurance record a few days after the plane was assembled by remaining in the air 23 and one half minutes. Shortly after this Lieut.. Foulois and the small personnel as- signed to help him take care of the plane became the adviation section of the Signal Corps.
 The maintainance appropriation of S15O was insufficient and approxi- | mately $500 came out of the pockets of thee aviation section the first year

MORE O|V WALCOTT
{ Continued from page 1l

In 1901 Dr. Walcott appealed to Andrew Carnegie to found a research institution, and the steel magnate later gave s1O,OO0,OOO for the Carneg
 ie Institution of Washington. Dr. Walcott organized the institution and was it's administrative officer from 1902 to 1905 and a member of it's ex- ecutive or it's chairman for 20 years.
 The interest of the scientist in av- iation began in 1898 when Dr. Sam uel P. Langley, a fellow worker, de- veloped a heavier-than-air machine. He asked President Mckinley to in- vestigate the Langley theory, and when he came to the Smithsonian Institution the Langley aeranautica! laboratory and library there occupied much of his time.
 He engaged in controversy with Orville Wright in 1925 over the question of whether the Langley machine, which was wrecked in it's attempts at flight over the Potomac river, really was the first man-carry- ing, heavier-than-air machine cap- able of soaring on it's own power, and Mr. Wright and his friends then announced they would not place the original Wright machine in his cus- tody.
 He, was a member of the board of | directors of the Presbyterian Church of the Covenant of Washington, but at the same time a believer in the l theory of evolution, holding that life | on earth began more than 100000 years ago.

SHANGHAI, March 11.-Consider-
able CONSERVATION prevails at the
American consulate here, owing to
failure of the Senate to confirm the
appointment of George Solicit as
United States district attorney of the
United States Court for China.
The Senate's failure to act virtu-
ally leaves the court without a dis
trict attorney at a time when i'm
portant cases are docketed. includ-
ing that of the former District At
torney Leonard Husar accused of
having accepted $4,000 for suppress
ing evidence in an opium case.
1t is believed here that the Husar
case will be found TO have inter-
national ramifieations.
John Van A. McMurray, American
Minister TO China; G. 4. Gauss,
American consul. and Judge Milton
Purdy cabled the State Department,
urging immediate confirmation of
Selects appointment. 1t is believed
here that the opium ring which Husar
was ordered to investigate is bring
ing pressure to bear in Washington
to block further investigation on the
part of local American officials.
Solicit continues in Office, though
he is powerless to act. Court pro-
cedure is at a standstill except for
minor hearings before the consular
court.
