A Dare

Another letter to unsigned.
He dares me to print it. Says he's
a HEAVY taxpayer, and Democrat.
Well, I'll print it if he signs his
own name to the letter-the big, brave
man. And I'll bet my hat (the old
one) that he won't be so heavy a tax
payer. I'll bet even more that he
won't appear to sign his name.

 Seis Reward

MONTREAL, Que, April 24.--How much would you keep out of a thousand dollars if told to name your own reward for finding it?
 An synonymous woman with q large family to feed on the meager dole allowance has won the praise of Louis Litvack, wholesale mer- chant, by only retaining $13l.
 On the way to the bank. Litvaek dropped a package containing the thousand in cash and checks. With out much hope, he advertised, of fering generous reward to the finder.
 What reward will you give me? I am a poor woman. badly. in need of money to feed my children" was the query received over the tele- phone next morning.
 Take whatever you think reason able" replied the merchant
 A little later, a messenger boy de- livered a package containing the lost money. less $13l.
 I'm more than satisfied. I would like to thank the finder for being so honest. She could doubtless have used the whole amount to adyan- tage," Litvack commented.

ATLANTA, Ga, April 24.-Lean- ing to fly at Georgia Tech means cutting out dates, dances, ana other diversions but 157 applicants sought the training and there was room for about 30.
 The civil aeronautics authority picked the Georgia School of Tech nology as one of 13 schools in which to launch an experimental training program
 President Roosevelt, when he an- nounced the experimental plan, said that if this years work is successful the instruction may be extended to take in 10000 students annually in hundreds of schools. This years stu dents could continue their training.
 The faculty estimated the work would add 25 per cent load to a students studies. So check of scholastic records eliminated those already too hard pressed with school work.
 Students Love It
 Those finally accepted are en- thusiastic about the course which has 80 hours of ground school work and from 30 to 50 hours of flying instruction.
 The only cost is $10 for a physical examination and $15 for insurance. No college credit is given.
 Students released the school from accident liability-each has $3,000 insurance.
 All of the training work is to be finished by the end of June. The CAA certificate awarded then per- mits only pleasure flying but may be stepping stone to commercial flying.
 Here's where Uncle Sam comes in, as explained by V. A. Calhoun, head of the flying school in charge of the instruction:
 "If war should come, this course would make it possible to cut the transition training for military fly ing practically in half"
 The cost of the experimental in- struction is met with $100,000 of National Youth Administration funds.
