RIVER REVEALS
GRIM RELIC

The Potomac River has dis
gorged a grim souvenir Of an
aviation tragedy here more than
seven years ago. An unidentified
man and boy yesterday discovered
a floating dummy" torpedo below
the Seventh Street Wharves.
The torpedo is believed to have
been carried in an airplane which
fell into the Anacostia River on
March 3, 1924, killing Boatswain
A. F.. Dietrich. its pilot.
The projectile was little the
worse for it's seven years Of i'm

CLOUDS HANDED
FLYING JOBS

Aviators have little liking for
clouds, but are glad to learn
that at las! the Department OF
Agriculture is putting clouds to
some use as a flying aid. The
department is now using clouds
as focal points to determine the
velocity of wind at varying
body heights and this information
IS kept tabulated for use OF
those who sail the skies In ships.
The Weather Bureau OF, the
department sights clouds through
instruments and notes their di-
rection and speed Of progress.
Small balloons which rise a def
mite height in a certain time
are also released, and their
height and drift compared to
those of the clouds.
A few mathematical calculations
which high school pupils learn
in trigonometry and the thing is
done.
And aviators who feel they are
mere snails if crawling along at
1000 feet at 100 miles an hour
can thus be informed Of strong
tail winds at 1000 feet, climb
higher, and go faster.

Peanut Bits Dangerous for

figures are out, and the en'ar.nated
young Miss may eat again!
Comming direct from Hollywood
and Paris, this edict is causing a
revolution in eating habits among
teen ages and their older sisters
that is highly pleasing to health
authorities, according to DR.. e. A.
Meyerding Of st. Paul, executive
secretary Of the Minnesota Public
Health Association.
"Our organization in a special
campaign has been hurting warn
ings at young girls on the increase
of tuberculosis due to dieting fads
for the past four years, said DR..
Meyerding. What cold statistics
twice as many deaths among teen
age girls as boys has been slow to
accomplish, the example of Holly
wood stars has done overnight.
Already drug stores are reporting
increased sale of cod liver oil to
girls anxious to catch up to the
new spring styles.
New styles probably have a
health basis, for the many recent
breakdowns of movie stars have
made a change in habits impara-
tive. This means an end to the Is
day diet, no breakfast and other
fads, which have worked such
havoc with the health of young
girls. It will aid us in cutting down
the high tuberculosis death rate in
the teen age"
Recommendations of the Christ
mas Seal organization head for in
creasing weight include: long and
regular hours of rest, substantial
breakfast including cereals, well
balanced lunch and dinner with
meat, bread, and potatoes supple
mented with fruit, green leafy
vegetables, and a quart of milk a
