THE BLACK SHEEP

The old hen gathered her
brood together and babe the
twelve pullets guard their only
brother while she went out for
the afternoon.
On her return all the pullets
were weeping bitterly and cried,
"Oh, mother dear, our brother
is dead"
Dead! How did it happen
"The minister came TO tea.
The farmers wife caught our
brother, plucked him, cooked
him and the minister has eaten
him!"
"How sadl But we must look

LOOK BEHIND, TOO

If the average driver of an automobile would
only glance in his mirror now and then to see
how the land laid behind him, there no doubt
would be less accidents in this community by far.
Some car owners do not have mirrors, and to such
we would say equip your with one as soon as
possible, and use it.
Just the other day we noticed one driver, back
ing out of his parking place. and he nearly hit
the machine behind him, simply because he did
not even look behind to see if danger was lurking
He kept his eyes straight ahead, gave no warn
ing that he coming out, and sped away as
care-free and happy as could be, yet he might
have experienced an accident had the fellow COM
ing his way not been cautious
Another thing, have noticed here of late,
and that is in regard to warning when persons
are turning corners, slowing up on speed and
darting into parking places. The state law is very
strict on this one subject and people who own
and drive cars should be cautious and give sig
nails Of some sort when desiring to alter the nat
ural course they are taking
little forethought in this regard would linn
mate a number of accidents to both parties and
would be greatly appreciated by the general pub
lie. Let's try and improve our mind with thought
fulness to others, equip our cars with mirrors,
and be ever on the alert to give warning of some
kind when we are driving on the highways or on
the streets.

BETTER MARKETIG METHODS NEEDED

What the farmers throughout the country
need is better system of marketing.
Every farmer in the Nation sufferss through
the antiquated marketing methods now employ
ed
Somehow other most Fasteners look upon
the farm problem remote. But, actually, the
East has as much of problem as the West
The sixteen states on the Atlantic seaboard
produce, in value, more than fifth of all the
corn grown in the United States.
They produce two thirds of all the buckwheat;
nearly half the potatoes cabbage, celery toma-
toes and peaches; third of the apples and a.
bout quarter of the carrots, lettuce, peas,
ions and hay.
Their production of dairy products is nearly
third. They rate sixth in live stock. Their
output is quite large in all standard cereals.
, True, these Eastern farmers live close to big
markets. They are not affected by an exportable
surplus.
However, the slow routing between farm and
table is tremendous handicap to them.
Look over the facts given above then decide
for yourself whether the East has farm prob
lem or not

the trip under tow This dredge will be
placed north of the bridge to begin the
long dredging task which eventually
will result in the extension of the park
way to the District of Columbia line.
Before going above the bridge it will
be necessary to do some dredging just
south of the bridge, as the rains of the
early Summer flushed down a consider
able amount of silt which was deposited
in the river at that point. When this
preliminary work is completed the
dredge will be dismantled and her
superstructure removed, SO that the
barge which supports it can go under
the Benning bridge without obstruction
to either rail or vehicular traffic When
the barge is placed through the bridge
the dredge will be assembled to begin
the drainage task which will require
several years.

The alumni association has discov-
cred that funds needed for the start of
construction of the new building have
been dropped from the regular school
estimates and included in a supple
mental estimate" by Maj. Daniel j.
Donovan, District auditor, who had to
cut the list of estimates.
Committee Makes Fight.
The 100000 fund for beginning a
new building was included in the Board
of Education'S estimates for 1880, and
when the Commissioners requested the
school authorities to cut their figures
81, ,000, 900 the board, strong in its con-
viction that the estimates represented
the minimum absolute requirements
of the school system for the coming
year, returned the estimates to the
Commissioners unchanged. The Com
missioners subsequently ordered Mai.
Donovan to make the necessary reduc-
ton to the schools share Of the total
District appropriation estimates by COM
piling supplemental estimate" Maj.
Donovan, it has become known, prompt
ly included in that estimate the S400,-
900 sought by the school board as the
first allotment of the $1,500,000 which
will be expended in the erection OF the
new building.
A committee of three members of
the Business Alumni Association will
attend the meeting of the Board Of Ed
ucation at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon,
prepared to address the board on what
they describe the intolerable conditions
at the present Business High School at
Ninth street and Rhode Island avenue.
This committee included George P.
Barse, vice president. and James c.
Wilkes and H. A. Schweinhaut, former
presidents of the body.
Citizens Pledge Support.
Since learning that construction on
the new school probably will be delayed
another year, by virtue Of the neceS-
sary funds inclusion in the supple

has approached three citizens asSocia-
tions, the Lincoln Park, West End and

Has Flown Only 80 Hours.

Flight Comdr. H. C. Macdonald ar
rived from England with his Haviland
Gypsy moth plane on September 26,
with the announced intention of at
tempting a transatlantic flight from
Harbor Grace.
Four days later he said he would
take off on October if weather con-
ditions permitted. He made series of
test flights shortly after his arrival by
steamer.
Macdonald, who is % years old, came
to Newfoundland about three weeks
ago and began assembling his plane
in preparation for the attempt. Al
though he said he had only 80 hours
of flying he was confident that he
could make the flight alone in the small
plane.
Since his arrival here, the young
English flyer has been awaiting favor
able weather conditions. He had de-
clared that he would not take off until
he had "hunch" that everything
was right.
Macdonald said that the flight was
being financed privately, He was as
sisted in preparing for the flight by
A. F. Williams, a mechanic who ac-
companied him from England.
The plane which he used in his flight
was but a midget compared to Lind
bergh's Spirit of st. Louis. Known as
an aerial sports car" the Gypsy moth
had been secretly preparing at the Stag
line airdrome in London for many
weeks for the flight. 1t has a wing
spread of only 26 feet and when emp
tied weighs less than 800 pounds.
Extra fuel tanks were fitted to the
plane, giving it range of about 35
hours, sufficient for $500 miles cruising.
Too Small for Wireless.
The engine has only 80 to 100 horse
power, compared with Lindbergt's $50.
1t is a four -cylinder air cooled motor.
Tests have shown that 1t can run
without trouble for periods of "a hours
and more. 4s@ssssass.assssea.,.,,
The Gypsy Moth is the plane in
which w. L. Hope won the last Kings
Cup for a race around England and is
the craft taken by Capt. G. De Havil-
land on an altitude record breaking
fight for two-seater light biplanes.
The plane is too small for wireless in
addition TO its other load, and floats
would be useless to keep so tiny a
machine af1oat on the Atlantic rollers.
Comdr. Macdonald is comparatively
novice at plotting, although he is a
skilled navigator. Yet after only 8
hours solo flying he took plane on a
long successful flight through Europe.
