ENGINEERS OFFER AID
TO AVIATION INDUSTRY
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The engineering profession of this
country has placed its resources at the
service Of commercial aviation. The
American engineering council. rep
resenting 80 organizations, has Just
voted this step through program de-
signed to minimize loss of life. and
prevent waste of large sums In con-
struction and operation activities.
In their plan for Nation avia-
ton aid, the engineers will cooperate
with the Bureau of Aeronautics of the
Commerce Department. One of the
first proposed projects is the formula
ton of fundamental principles of selec-
ton, design and operation of airports
and airways, and the placing of these
at the disposal of technical interests
engaged in air problems. Meanwhile a
program of research will be laid out
by the council, whose membership is
about 10000, for the development of
safer and more efficient airports and
operation methods.
The council points out that the
Bureau of Aeronautics has been au-
thorized to extend all possible aid to
American aviation, but that the d.
versity and completely of the prob
lens calls for the help of competent
non-Governmental agencies. It is OF
this foundation the group is undertak-
ing its program.

tury on the stage, during which she
achieved an enviable niche in the hearts
of the theater going public, Elsie Janis
has announced her retirement, to take up
writing.
The stages loss is distinct gain for
writing.
From the time she was little tike
with a squeaky voice, Miss Janis has
been in the front rank of entertainers.
Her ability as mimic and impersonator,
singer and dancer made her star long
ago when she was a young girl in her
teens
No reason for her retirement is given
and those at all familiar with the career
of the actress need only guess. Seven
weeks ago her mother died, breaking
peculiar bond that was one of the trasi-
tions of the stage. When Elsie Janis ap-
peared before her audiences, her mother
was in the wings watching her.
Miss Janis began her theatrical career
so young that her mothers presence was
a necessity. When she grew to woman
hood they were chumS, her mother being
her sole companion. The only period
when Mrs. Janis was not with her daugh-
ter was when the latter was with the A.
E. F. as an entertainer. Her regular
place in the wings was denied her, but the
mother was never far away.
With her best chum gone, it is no Won
der that Miss Janis decided to foresake
the stage. It would not be natural to her
without the little old lady who smiled at
her from the wings throughout all the
years.
Never the slightest touch of scandal
connected with her career, Miss Janis
has been an inspiration TO others Of the
stage to follow in her footsteps. The
public may know that whatever she
writes will be worth reading and it will
never have to be read surreptiously.

The fact that the dairyman can
increase the production and value
of his herd more economically
through the use of good pure bred
sires than by any other method is
accepted by all dairymen and any
method which will lengthen the
years of service of these good bulls
is worthy of serious consideration.
1t is not uncommon to see n dairy
herd dispersed which has been in
the hands of the same man for as
much as eight or 10 years and yet
he has no more valuable herd at
the end than that which was pur
chased with which to start business
because of the fact that low pro
ducers were not weeded out and
good pure bred bulls kept to bring
up the production of the daughters
above that of their dams. The
dairyman who proceeds in that
manner has sacrificed one of the
most profitable factors of the bus
mess and should have been able to
have increased the production and
corresponding value of the herd
during such a period Of years by at
least 80 per cent.
The Importance of using good
sires over longer period is EN-
phasi2ed II. a letter from the bureau
OF dairy industry, [. S. department
of agriculture and included in the
report of California cow testing as
sociations for July 1880 with notes
regarding bull associations in the

as follows:
Chow bulls may be kept in serv-

breeding is well illustrated by the
organization of two bull associa-
tions in Idaho by members of a
dairy herd improvement association.
Four members, each owning a Hol-

association; anG three members,
each owning Guernsey bull. or

"The Holste.n and Guernsey bulls
had been in service from one and
a half to three years, and to keep
them longer in the same herds would
necessitate inbreeding or the pur-
chase of other bulls to mate with
their daughters. In each of the two
bull associations organized, the
bulls are owned jointly by all the
