New York, Oct 1O--Believing that American aviation's rapid de- velopment depends largely on the youth of the country, Admiral Richard E. Byrd today announced from his headquarters here that he will take Arthur Abele, Jr, g2 year old aviation student and enthusiast on the second Antarctic expedition as a representative of the millions of young people in this country.
 Abele Is forming an organization called the Little America Explor- er's and Aviation Club" and is in- viting everyone of high school age or over to become a part of the expedition by following the prog ress of exploration on charts or maps to be furnished by the Tide Water oil company. He expects to send back weekly news letter to club members giving not only de- tails of the adventure but also per- tinent information on aviation at tho South Pole.
 Admiral Byrd has arranged for Abele to take a complete course in aviation, including flying lessons and business training In the trans- portation possibilities of aviation. during his stay at the bottom of the world. His ground work and flying instruction will be given un- der the most dangerous and haz- ardous conditions ever to confront a rookie flyer. Abele has never flown ship, in fact has been in the air for less than thirty minutes, but expects to become an expert pilot before the expedition returns from the Antarctic wastes.
 As the first step in his aviation ation, Abele has spent the past month at the Tide Water plant in Bayonne, N. J., learning the rudi- ments of fuel engineering.

(Copyright 1888, By United Press) Atlantic City, N. J., Oct 10-(U. P.)--The whipping post as deter rent to crime Is not taken seriously by penal experts despite it's recom- nieiidation by grand juries and a large number of citizens. The sen- timent of the American Prison As- sociation was best expressed by George Erskine, superintendent of the Connecticut Reformatory, who said:
 dGropiug in darkness, you re- vert to something old"
 Erskine, believes, as does the vast majority of penalogists, that there are no other reasons for the renewed interest in the whip ping post. Severity of punishment does not make reformation. and reformatlon is the ain," Is Q mod ern adage of prison workers.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Presi-
dent RooSevelt's plan for taking A.
100000 men off public relief rolls
throughout the country at the earli-
est possible moment depends upon
the rapidity with which local gov
ernments find the work to be done.
Stress has been laid on the fact
that in no case will contracts be let
for any of the work, which is not
to be of the type handled by the
Public Works Administration.
The plan required the creation Of
a Civil Works administration, but
it involves no delay whatever in
Washington. Federal Emergency Re-
lief Administrator Harry L. Hop
kins was named Director, and at
once he notified relief organizations
in all States, cities, and counties
that the same Nationwide machin-
cry would be used which has been
functioning in relief distribution.

Playing for the Nogales team was
Gale Cokm, Owen Mercer, Slim

military school they engage in daily
horse riding.
The boys are anxious to meet

100000 MEN TO BE TAKEN
OFF PUBLIC RELIEF ROLLS

"The big factor" he said, 'is to
find projects that will put people
to work at once"
The President said of the plan,
"It is designed to remove from re-
lief all employable persons. Those
hired will benefit by an immediate
increase in income over their for
mer relief allowances" It is the
purpose to increase to full time be-
fore the end of November the pres
ent part-time work of 100000 men
now on relief rolls and drawing
about $40 per month. The President
laid down the principle of a 90
hour week and at the hourly rate
prevailing for similar work. An ad-
ditional 100000 are to be given
work on the same self-sustaining
basis by December Is.
Statistics show that there are
now approximately 100000 fami-
lies on public relief rolls through
out the country, a reduction of L.
50T000 families since April last.
During September 250,000 families,
representing 100000 persons, were
removed through unemployment un-
der the NRA. The President believes
that full-time employment of A.
100000 will be of vast benefit. These
provisions for work and jobs will
not interfere with immediate dis
tribution of food and clothing for
the destitute by the Federal Einer-
gency Relief Administration.
This greatest employment pro-
gram ever devised is intended to
cover not only the types on which
relief work has been given but al
so wide range of employment in
activities bordering on, but not cov-
cred in, the province of the Public
Works Administration. The latter
necessarily had to depend upon the
results of elections for bond issues
Ind legislation by States.

The Tucson High School Badgers
will invade the local gridiron this
afternoon. The contest will be play
ed for conference standing and will
be the final interScholastic football
game of the season in Nogales.
The Apaches will enter the con-
test with the dope against them but
they are determined to put up a
good fight and hold their power
full opponents to a low score and
possibly a tie Forecasts through the
medium of the Douglas team gives
the Badgers three to four touch
down margin over the Apaches, as
Tucson defeated Douglas 1877 and
Nogales lost to Douglas 1870.
The contest will count on con-
ference standing and should, I'M
less there is an unexpected upset
OF the dope bucket, place the Bad
gers in undisputed second place with
a possible chance for a conference
championship.
Bisbee is leading the conference
with victories over Nogales and
Douglas at the present time, while
the Badgers have only a victory
over Douglas. The Pumas however
have a much more evenly balanced
team than the Badgers and should

Der of the Christmas Club, on the
average, has accumulated in nick
els, dimes and dollars, during this
year, sum of $43.75.
An optimistic expression is found
in many reports from all sections
from the fact that the distribution
of $35O,000,000 in cash within the
next two weeks will add a terrific
impetus to holiday purchases.
While several individual banks re-
port an actual increase over last
year, decline in membership and
a decline in the number of par
ticipating banks, due to the bank
ing holiday earlier in the year,
have occasioned a reduction in the
total membership and in the total
fund of 20% from the figure of 1882.
Considering, however, the severe
discipline and pressure that were
applied to almost every business
during the early months of 1888,
bankers view the accomplishments
Of the Christmas Club for this year
as remarkable tribute to the
;teadfastness of purpose, courage
