Moved by the disclosure that
while police have increased detec-
ton of criminals in Indianapolis
this year the activity OF thieves has
grown at a higher ratio, j. Ed Burk,
2033 Hoyt Ave-, south side civic
leader, today urged civic and bust
ness clubs to start a movement for
more policemen. Burk was a city
manager worker in the election last
spring.
Burk compared Indianapolis with
other cities of its class to show that
this place does not have as many
policemen as needed.

CHAPTER XIV

NNE day during the beginning OF
~ our term at Kelly, some one de-
cided that the cadets should stand
reveille.
How it came about or who caused
the decision was never known by
the detachment, but there was a
strong rumor circulated to the eff
feet that our beloved Cadet Sergeant
had not forgotten the episode of the
polecats.
1t was an unheard-of thing for
the cadets of Kelly to stand forma-
tions. We had graduated from that
when we left Brooks, and the
thought Of continuing it in our adj
vanced status was, we concluded,
degenerating to the morale of the
detachment.
Consequently, when our first SER
geant himself delighted us with
verbal visions of being tumbled out
Of bed at first call if we were not
up at the blast of his whistle, we
decided that if it were in the COM
bined power of the detachment, the
first call should not sound the next
morning.
We could not diSobey an order;
Army training banishes even the re-
hottest thought of that; but we
might prevent that order from be-
ing given.
The cadet captain and first
sergeant were assigned to private
room together. The rest of us were
given cots in the barracks.
While supper was in progress that
night the hands on the sergeant'G
alarm clock were so manipulated
that the alarm would sound ex-
actly one hour after the time set. At
2 o'clock the next morning a pad
lock was placed on the hasp outside
Of his door, and when first call blew
few hours later the cadet detach-
ment slept soundly on.
From spot landings we passed
hurdles. Hurdles require the chip
to be brought down without assist
ance from the engine, and after

about eight feet above the ground,
to be landed as close as possible to
the hurdle. This gave us excellent
practice for landing over a fence in
a small field.
One of the traditions at Kelly
was that anyone knocking down
the hurdle must treat the rest to
9 case of refreshments.
1t often happened that a pilot
was SO intent on getting over the
hurdle string that he did not notice
that his plane was in a stall, and
about the time he was over the
hurdle the bottom would fall out
from under him and his plane would
pancake into the ground.
Almost every class had one or
two minor crack-ups as a result of
Stalling over the hurdle string.
The De Havilands were not con-
Sidered safe for hard stunning and
as a result we were only allowed to
do wing-overs and split air turns.
Diving in excess Of one hundred
and fifty miles per hour was also
forbidden. Consequently only air
allowing us to be thoroughly &C
customed to the plane was included
in the flying schedule before our
formation training began.
The strange field landing train
ing was one of the most interesting

He bought a Jenny plane and flew

When Daisy saw a gorgeous
poster advertising handsome
brass saxophone about four
years ago, Violet turned her
pretty little head and saw it, too.
The idea occurred to them that it
would be an interesting instrument
to play. It was this saXophone course
they soon entered upon which led
to their going on the stage.
And, like all young girls, they had
wanted to become actresses.
The twins were born in the sea-
side city of Brighton, England, on
Feb. 5, 1908. Their mother died
when they we're born; their father a
few years later.
They tell this amusing anecdote
Of their childhood. Once, at the age
Of six, their Aunt Edith, the gentle
woman who still attends them night
and day, who dresses them and
chaperones them wherever they
may go, promised to take them to
a county fair.
And there, the twins, 1ooSed from
their auntie's skirts, were standing
awe-stricken outside the pen~of the
great prize ram, the ram that had
just captured the grand blue rib
bon, when smart little fellow,
about 10, came up to them.
'I bet you girls are afraid to ride
that ram!" he dared them. I'm
not, though"
With that, the child entered the
pen and leaped on the rams back.
Infatuated, the animal bounded
about and soon threw the boy to
the ground. The twins were aroused.
In the twinkling of an eye, four
little legs had gone, somehow, over
the fence of that pen and while
DaiSy's arms tenaciously grappled
with the horns of the frisky sheep,

I parts of our schooling. An instructor
would lead a number Of planes and
land in some field we had never seen
before.
Then each cadet was required to
land and take-off after the in
structor. Some of the fields we're
small and full of distractions. Yet
we had comparatively few even
minor crack-upS.
Later each cadet was given an OPP
portmity to lead the rest and pick
out field for them TO land IN while
the instructor trailed.
AT Kelly we were given more and
longer cross country trips than at
Brooks. One Of the most lmpor-
tant parts of flying training is cross
country experience. We made flights
to Corpus Christi, Galveston, Laredo
and a number of other places.
Each class spent about two weeks
on a gunnery expedition at Filing
ton field between Houston and Gal
weston Ellington field was one OF
the few double fields built during
the war, but was later abandoned
and, except for National Guard
squadron, was entirely deserted.
We set up our mess in the club
house and made the old building
which had served as officers quar-
tiers as comfortable as possible.
This was in winter and the
weather was cold, even in Texas,
unusual though it might have been
There were no stoves available, so
we contrived all sorts Of makeshiftS
TO hold a little fire in.
If nothing better was obtainable,
We shoveled several inches OF earth
on the floor and devised hood Of
some kind leading through a few
lengths of the pipe to the CHM
ney. Of course, these fires could
not be left unguarded, so it was
necessary to put them out in the
morning, to be rekindled at the close
of operations for the day.
Our gunnery work was divided
into three parts; ground targets,
shadow targets and tow targets.
The ground targets were large
sheets of paper similar to those
used on a rifle range and were set
up at an angle on the ground. We
shot at these with both the Brown
ing and Lewis machine guns.
The Browning guns on a De Havi-
land were mounted rigidly in front
of the pilot and were synchronized
with the engine to shoot between
the blades Of the propeller. They
were capable Of firing up to twelve
hundred rounds minute, depending
on the motor RPM. when they
were fired.
Several Of us would form a large
circle with our planes, and start
ing our dive from about one thou
sand feet, would fire short bursts
into the target on the ground.
After completing our bursts we
would zoom back up into the circle
while the next ship started its dive.
Each plane had its individual target.
After emptying the Browning
guns we gave our observers chance
with their LewiseS by circling low
around the targets. On the next
flight the pilot and observer traded
places.
The Lewis gun in mounted on a
turret on the rear cockpit. Two guns
were usually used together and they
could be pointed in any direction.
After few days on ground targets
we were sent out over Trinity Bay
for shadow targets. One plane is
flown fairly high over the water,
while another fires at its shadow.
The splashes from the bullets are
easily seen and the accuracy Of
craftsmanship very apparent.

Farm Loans Succeed
 Old Merchant Credit

ATLANTA. June 30 Merchant credit. the old system under which numerous cotton farmers obtain. ed deferred payments on equip. ment and fertilizer, is fading from the south. A government survey shows that in 1926 cash advances composed 62 percent and merchant credit 3S percent of the loans. In 1923 the figures were 20 and Fl percent respec- lively.
 While the number of farm loans in the cotton belt are in creasing, the total indebtedness has declined. The amount of loans is smaller The average amount of short term credit used per farm in 1926 in 10 cotton states was but $340 The least credit was in Tennessee, which averaged $200 per farm. South Carolina was the highest, with s550 per farm.
 The survey revealed that more tenants than owners borrowed at the banks.
