His First "Victory"

Ask one american aviator about the
time he dOwned a high-ranking flyer
in his first flight over the lines dur
ing the war and you may be surprised
at the result. Here's the story as
Maj. Reed G. Lands, Americas Sec
ond living ace, tells 1t
This young chap" says Major Ian
Gis, twas assigned to British air
squadron for training. After about
three weeks behind the lines he
learned which end of his machine gun
was dangerous and other useful fea,
lures of air warfare.
"One day German observation
balloon was up and was spotted by the
British. The weather was thick but
the sausage was observed above the
murk and its position carefully marked
on a map. Then the American avia-
tor was ordered to get out his plane
and shoot down the enemy balloon.
"The American drove his ship
through the murk AM finally arrived
at a point where he estimated the oh
servation balloon would be. Sure
enough. there was "a balloon.
1.-THE flyer dived at it and sent
enough bullets through the skin of the
sausage to send it down, without,
however, setting fire to it. Two men.
he perceived, clambcred over the side
of their basket and floated to the
ground with 'chutes.
"Much elated, the American re-
turned to his squadron and reported
his successful onslaught. He had
hardly completed his report when an
automobile bearing the insignia of the
British air forces drove up. And out
stepped an indignant British lieuten-
ant colonel.
"When the colonels rage partly SUBJ
sided it was learned that he had
selected the thick weather as an ey-
cellent time TO make his monthly bal
loon flight. The flight was necessary
if he was to draw his flying pay. Bur
the American flyer had upset all that
by becoming confused in the fog. mis-
taking his balloon for German 'sau-
sage and sending a stream of bullets
into 1t until the astOnished and in.
dignant Britisher and his aide had
been forced to seek safety in their

Good Soil for Your Trees

While some trees will undoubtedly
grow in a poor soil after they have
become established, there is no ad-
vantage in starting trees in anything
except the best garden soil. Usually
that referred to as ''tOpsoil" is the
kind to have on hand in sufficient
quantity for tree planting. Bear this
in mind, says the American Tree as
ISOLATION of Washington. Do not
"spare the top soil and spoil the tree !"

SCHOOL ESTIMATES
INCREASED S199,626
FOR BUDGET OF 1882
ReviSionS Made Necessary
by Congressional Action
on Funds for 1881.
BUILDINGS ELIMINATION
AFFECTS TEACHERS PAY
Board Agrees to Changed Figures
at Special Meeting Held
Yesterday.

The School Board today forwarded to
the District Commissioners revised list
of school estimates for 1882, showing
net increase over its original figures of
Sl9e 626 School estimates for next year
now total SIS ,220 427, as compared with
$l5020 ,801 as transmitted to the Dis
trict of Columbia heads early in May.
The Ievisions which were sent to the
Commissioners today were voted by the
board without public reading at its spe-
cial meeting late yesterday, and were
neceSSitated by the Senate and House
compromise on the 1881 bill when 1t was
passed last week at the end of long
and heated deadlock. The changes IN
clude both increases and decreases and
center largely about the elimination in
the recent congressional conference of
an item for the construction of the new
Douglass Simmons Elementary School.
Includes Salary Adjustments.
BY virtue of the elimination of that
building four teachers who were to
have been placed in it now are elimi-
mated, but Is others are included to
make up for deductions made by the
House and Senate. The revision in
cludes also 20 salary adjustments for
that number of assistant professors at
the teachers colleges who were ellml-
mated with the paasgse Of the current
bill THESE changes represent net
increase of 7,400 over the S6,566, 700
originally requested for teachers and
librarians.
Salary step-ups for janitors, which
were eliminated in conference are pro-
vided for in the revised estimates with
an addition of 9,l20 to the. $866,477
item originally provided. This figure
would have been larger had not the
laborer provided for the Douglas-Sim-
mons Building been eliminated.
Furniture Item Cut.
The furniture and equipment item
of s4O3l59 is reduced saba with the
elimination of equipment not now need
ed for the Douglas-Simmons Building.
The Douglas-Simmons Building is re-
inserted in the 1882 school estimates
by the addition of $4,000 to the build
ing item of $3,215.000.
An item of 1920 is added for clerks
boosting the clerk salary item to $780,
500.
