HIGH SCHOOL DRILL
OPPOSED IN DRIVE
Steps to Abolish Military
Training Outlined at Meet
ing of Committee.

Activities of the National Committee
on MilitariSm in Education in seeking
10 abolish military training in the high
schools were outlined to a group of men
and women interested in the subject, by
raymond Wilson, secretary of the Penn
sylvania branch of the committee, at ar
informal executive meeting last night in
the Friends House on street.
The meeting, presided over by Benja-
min G. Marsh, who recently protested
to Superintendent of Schools Ballou
against the local law making cadet
service compulsory, unless parents re-
guest exemption, was called by Miss
Margaret E. Jones, chairman of the
executive committee of the local branch
OF the Fellowship of Reconciliation. a
national organization.
In an interview after the closed meet
ing Wilson said the chief detectives OF
his organization are, first, elimination
OF the compulsory aspect from military
sc1entlous DIRECTORS, or those who feel
they have better use for their school
time, may be exempted from military
training; and, second, adjustment of
military training in all high schools,
"as having practically no military value
and creating mind out of harmony
with the sentiment of the Kellogg pact.
Wilson declared number of factors
are working to ban compulsion in mill
itary training among students. Among
these he cited establishment about
war induced oy war books, war plays
and historical works, the trend of pro-
greSsive education to emphasize ac-
tivitieS that are reproduceable after
school, the effect of the Kellogg pact
in making people feel that when a
country renounces war, it is incon-
gruous to encourage students to be-
lieve that war Is necessary or effective
or desirable, and the growing conscience
in Christian churches against war and
the war system"

OF RECORD FLIGHT
Tank Flow Gauge Freezes as
Aviatrix Takes Plane to
2,000-Foo Height.
BY the Associated Press.

ROOSEVELT FIELD, N. Y, March
l1.-Elinor Smith, 18-year-old aviatrix
who yesterday apparently established q
new altitude record for women, gave a
| word picture of her flight to the ASSo-
ciated Press last night
Setting out to better the previous rec
ord of 24,600 feet set by the late Marvel
Crosson, who was killed in the women's
air derby last year. Miss Smith climbed
to an apparent height of $4,000 feet.
She described her experience in the
following words:
Miss Smiths Account.
Yesterday was rather warm and hazy
ana 1 was rather anxious as to the
visibility, as l had been told that the
winds were so strong above $4,000 feet
as to blow one backwards, and as you
may easily guess had no wish to be
blown out to sea, regardless of my love
for swimming
Il kept climbing in wide, lazy circles.
leaving the haze and smoke at about
5000 feet. From then on it was beau
tifully clear, and from my lofty perch
II could look down through the smoke
and see for miles. In fact. when I
reached my approximate ceiling of 81
600 feet / could see practically all Of
Long Island, far up the Hudson River,
New York City, past Sandy Hook and
into New Jersey
II turned my oxygen on at about
$4,000 feet and experienced no un-
pleasant sensations. was kept pretty
busy from then on with my motor.
When I got to $4,000 evidently turned
out the mixture too much and the
motor cut out. At the same moment
the oxygen tank flow gauge froze tight
ly and cut off my supply.
Dropped to $1,000 Feet.
1.-THE sudden movement of reaching
for the mixture and throttle controls,
combined with the absolute cessation
of oxygen flow, was evidently too much
strain and everything turned black for
few seconds. When came to I
was down to about $1,000 feet, with
the ship in gentle glide and the
oxygen coming so fast that it Just
about choked me.
II regulated the flow and tried to
gain back the altitude lost, but every
time got above $4,000 the fiow gauge
froze again and I became so weakened
from pounding it thc; decided had
better come in. BY this time was run
ming only on my left wing tank. Find
ing that my motor was cutting pretty
badly and that the throttle didn't take
any effect, decided that the gas lines
must be frozen. The gauges were
frozen over and impossible to read. AS
I was coming down rather rapidly was
compelled to swallow quite frequently
to relieve the pressure in my ears.
MY motor left me just as was COM
ing in and I landed dead stick and
rolled into a mud puddle"

BOSTON, March 11.-Rev. William
Bartlett OF Chicago, addressing a pro-
hibition meeting in the Park Street
Church here last night, asked his audi
ence, Are you willing to go to war
for prohibition" Applause greeted the
question, and Rev. Mr.. Bartlett, re-
ferring to the liquor trafic, continued:
THE prohibition question in Massa-
chusetts will not be settled until men
are ready to go to war to stamp this
devilish and hideous thing out of ex-
istence"
Rev. Bartlett urged pastors through
out the State to report the names
of those selling liquor and suggested
reporting bootleggers, for at would be
just as easy for this country to have
an island somewhere for its criminals
as for France to have one"
