LA PORTE, Ind, Jan. 6.-"The
Spirit of st. Louis" Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh's famous monoplane, was
designed by Maj. William J. Cur
ley) Waterhouse, former La Porte
resident, it mas been learned from
friends of the Waterhouse family
living here.
Many "old timers" here recall
Waterhouse as a curly-haired lad,
who at first built miniature models
and later designed real machine
when heavier than-air flying was
almost undreamed of. In this ma
chine Waterhouse gave exhibition
flights throughout the Midwest. 1t
is said by aviation authorities that
he actually made a successful flight
in a heavier than-air craft before
the Wright brothers had succeeded
in getting their machine into the
air at Kittyhawk.
Worked for Curtiss
Warehouse began his real work
as plane designer while an employee
of the Chicago Aerial Corporation.
Later he joined the technical staff
of the Curtiss Airplane and Motor
Company. During the World War
he designed the famous CurtiSs
speed scout, and a few months aft
erward took charge of production of
the DH-4 plans at McCook field in
San Diego. He began his career
when % years old and was made a
major in the United States flying
corps at 80.
With his wide experience in aer-
onautics, Major Waterhouse finally
started a plane factory Of his own.
In addition to the Ryan monoplane
type used by Lindbergh he also
produced the Waterhouse Roam
air. small scout biplane type, and
the Waterhouse "Curzair," large
biplane.
Lindbergh Placed Order
Before making his historic trans
Atlantic fight, Lindbergh made
careful inspection of various air.

United States and was very favor
ably impressed with Warehouses;
monoplane style and asked the lat
ter to produce one capable of SPAN
ming the Atlantic.
At that time Waterhouse was
moving his factory to Hollywood,
Cal, and informed Lindbergh he
could not produce plane in time
for the hop. In order to accomo-
date the famous airman, however,
he sold his patterns and patents to
the Ryan Company. This company
built the "other half of We" which
made the Paris flight.
Waterhouse had no SPECIAL train

in local schools and his drafting
ability was cultivated by Prof. F. H.
Sinons, until recently q Laporte
high school art instructor.

The local en- tries in the pigeon class were espe- cially high bred and most of the first prizes in this division were awarded to Berlin entries. The Ma tional Barred Rock association held it's meeting in connection with the poultry show and high class birds from all over the United States were entered. It was the largest show held by the Meriden association since it's organization and the judges had numerous difficulties in judging the numbers of entries because of the unusual fine high bred birds.

In the racing homers division of pigeons, C. w. Shaw of kensing- ion made an exceptional showing and his birds carried off most of the nonors. The awards captured by the Shaw entries were: red check. first cock; blue bar. first hen and second cock: blue check. second and fourth cock, second and third hen: smoky blue, first hen: dark check. first cock and first hen. Mir. Shaw also got the award for the best hen 1n the show.
 Other local entries which captured awards were enterer in the pigeon class by A. l.. Woodruff and J. P Masselli. The Woodruff birds cap- ,ured first cock and first hen awards in the owl class. and first and second cock and first. second and third hen in the bald head tumbler class. The Nasselli entries were given first and second cock and first and second hen in the carneaux deep red class and first cock and first hen in the Jacob ill class.
 The local entries drew great ad- miration from the judges. who were men of national experience in judg- ing poultry shows. The exhibit will continue today and tomorrow. The entries in the Rhode Island Reds di- vision will be judged today.
 The Thompson Rhode Island Reds of Berlin will be judged today. A large crowd attended the exhibit during the entire day.

 Vaccinating School Children The work of vaccinating be- tween 300 and AGO school children as safeguard against the smallpox epidemic which has gripped the river towns was begun this morning by Dr. George F. Cook, health of- ticer. and Miss Catherine Daily. visit ing nurse. The school committee. which has been more lenient with regard to vaccinatioa than is the cast in most towns. has decided that the situation calls fer energetic safety measures and has ordered that all children in the public schools must be vaccinated. Pupils not inoculatcd will be denied the privilege of attending school. d. though physicians certificates may be obtained if the pupils health is such that the injection might be considered harmful.
 Circular letters were sent to par ents yesterday by the school depart ment. These read as follows: Act ing on the advice of the state and local health authorities the town school committee will require all children who have not been vaccin- ated within the past ve years to undergo vaccination. The work will begin on Friday. January 20. 1928. and will be without cost to the par ent. In case you have any decided objections or there is any health req son why your child should not be vaccinated. please notify the super- intendent of schools through the room teacher. Your wishes will be respected in the natter
 The action of the board was taken upon the advice of Dr Cook. and the committee asked him to do the work personally in the schools. It is thought that between 50 and 100 children have already been vaccin- ated by their family physicians. and many others will doubtless have the work done in this way. For the others, Dr. Cook and Miss Daily will be available. They started work at the Board street school this morn ing. When finished there they will continue by vaccinating the pupils in the Linden street and high schools. The work is expected to take several days
 No cases Of smallpox have been reported here, nor are there any suspects. Dr. Cook said today.

 Plainville opened its home sched- ule auspiciously last evening by de- feating Cnionville In Pennington Valley basketball league game at the high school, 25-2o. It was the first victory scored by any Plain ville team on the court this season, and the win is expected to arouse the enthusiasm of the fans and lead them to support the local qutntets in better fashion.
 Plainville took an early lead and was in front by 13-3 when the first half ended. The second period was evenly waged, with the home team increasing its advantage by lone point. The Plainvilie scoring was quite evenly distributed among Jas per. Anderson, Hoist and Arburr while Odlum and Trigged led Union- vile on the attack.

almost as bad in other places. Ticks,
flies, mosquitoes and the like, even if
less menacing than the tsetse, often
irritate horses to frenzy that dimin-

susceptibility TO disease and shOrtens
their lives. Among work animals the
water buffalo, or carabaO, as 1t Is
called in the Philippines, is indeed an
exception. Its optimum climate Is
warm and moist. Its digestive system
is adapted to coarse, watery vegeta-

Of mud with which it loves to encase
itself, makes it fairly immune to i'll
sects. But unluckily the water buffalo
is useful mainly for wet crops, like
rice. For other kinds of agriculture,
the native hti"iped cattle of India and
the allied banteng of Java are the
best available, but they are relatively
small, inefficient and unintelligent;
compared with the horse, and they
suffer from attacks by insects.
