jumped and cheered. (He prob
ably could not have made it with
out the coaching of Aviator Jack
Reynolds who hollered from the
ground Keep the tail up. Keep

Doms had never set hand to a
planes controls before, had not
been in the air for four or five
years, but when Robinson eX-
pressed a long-felt wish to teach
a student to solo in a single day,
he agreed to try the feat.
Robinson was hoarse and Doms
who weighs 200 pounds was
somewhat cramped when they
came down for an infrequent rest
period in the middle of the after
noon.
''There are a lot of things to
remember all at once" Doms ad-
mitted.
That evening they were inter-
viewed over radio station WDGY,
Minneapolis, by telephone from
the Redwood Falls Motor COM
pany where each could talk over
phones on the same line.
Robinson has taught over 100
students since he first got his
transport license in 1881, but FRI
day was the first time he had
soloed pupil in one day since
the law requiring eight hours of
air training before a solo fight,
went into effect.
Doms is the son of DIR. II. C..
Doms of Slayton and a brother of
Mrs. Lester Cox of Redwood
Falls. He recently sold the Log
Cabin Inn at Vesta which he had
been operating.

The course of study and results
obtained by class in farm
mechanics" inaugurated at Red
wood Falls High school last fall
on an experimental basis will be
discussed by Wayne c. Braker,
shop instructor here, at a confer
ence for teachers of agriculture
at the University of Minnesota

The problem before the con-
ference is: what should be done
in the field of farm mechanics for
students who enroll for instruc-
ton in agriculture in the high
school.
If approved by the state de-
partment, the course will un-
doubtedly be taught in many
schools throughout Minnesota.

which to finance community
hospital for Redwood Falls
and paid secretary for the
organization were authorized
at the annual meeting of the
Civic and Commerce associa-
tion Wednesday night and
Millard l.. Holmberg was
chosen to head the organiza-
tion during 1910.
Martin Ehlers was retain
ed as vice president of the
association and Alden Shef-
field was elected secretary
treasurer, with the UNDER
standing he will be retained
as treasurer when a paid secre-
tary takes office.
Of far-reaching Importance,
the report of the hospital commit
tees of the Lions club and c and
c, indicated exhaustive research
into the matters of needed facil-
tiles, probable cost, operation and
even the question of site.
Three possible locations were
suggested, the committee express
ing the belief that the most feast
BILE plan would be to acquire the
present Redwood Falls hospital
which it reported can be purchas-
ed on an appraisal basis and to
construct one wing Immediately.
There is room on the property
for further additions when need
ed, the committee stated.
Statistics obtained by the COM
mittee indicate that minimum
of two hospital beds are needed
for each 1000 of population in
the area served. The report stat
ed that not less than 10000 people
reside in the territory tributary
to Redwood Falls hospital. On
this basis the committee estimat-
ed that at least. a 40 bed hospital
is needed and added that consid-
Grafton should be given to an
eventual need of perhaps 60 beds.
Cost of hospital construction,
plus equipment, normally is esti-
mated at $2,5OO per bed. The
committee suggested, however,
that by purchasing the present
hospital and equipment which in
cludes adequate heating, water
softening, operating room, elevat-
or and kitchen facilities for 40
bed hospital, the community
could, by adding a wing with 20
beds, have a suitable hospital for
an expenditure of approximately
$1,000.
Among other findings of the
committee were these:
I County records show that
it would be more economical
to use a local hospital at pre-
vailing rates than an out of
town hospital at special rates.
That federal aid can doubt
less be obtained for the con-
struction of a community
hospital.
That doctors of the trade
area have agreed to give
their support.
That there is definite need
for greater hospital facilities
in the community.

Woman Golfers Point
For Middle Atlantic
Play Next Month
Chevy Chase to Be Host
October J to g; Pros
Postpone Tourney

With the Post Cup tournament
coming up tomorrow at Kenwood
and Woodmont. feminine golfers of
Washington are pointing for their
biggest sectional tourney of the
year-the Middle Atlantic Golf As
sociation championship, scheduled
for the Chevy Chase Club october
7, 8, 9, 10 and II.
Mrs. Walter r. Stokes, the Manor
woman who won the championship
last year in final against Defend
ing Champ Marion Brown, will go
into the affair an outstanding IA
vorite TO repeat. But unlike the
local events, this one will have out
side competition. Mrs. E. Boyd Nor
row of Elkridge, Mrs. Jerome Slo-
man of Suburban and Elizabeth
Bonthron of Hillendale are few
of the Baltimore women who will
be out there trying for the title.
In addition, Mrs. David H. Clarke
of Army Navy, who won the title
in 1884, probably will enter again
this year.
Mrs. Meckley Doubtful.
The entry of Betty Meckley, de-
pendable Kenwood veteran, is
doubtful. Betty will play if she
can, but she has not been in good
health this year and has been out
of hospital only for a few days.
The tourney will be the usual five
day affair, with a medal round
scheduled October 7, followed by
four days of match play. Entries
will close at noon October 5. Mrs.
Landra B. Platt of Chevy Chase
heads the Womens Committee in
charge. with the following men,
bers: Mrs. E. Boyd Morrow, Mrs.
Robert A. Lacey and Mrs. Ralph
w. Payne.
At Chevy Chase, a favorite course
with the feminine golfers, the tour
ney should draw a big entry list.
1t will be the first time the Mid
Atlantic women's championship has
been played on that course. The
mems championship affair of the
Middle Atlantic Golf Association
was staged at Chevy Chase in 1899.
Pros Postpone Again.
That on-again, off-again Middle
Atlantic P. G.. A. championship may
not be played this year. unless such
vigorous gents as Bob Barnett and
Witty Cox come to the aid of the
tourney. They've had a number OF
paltry reasons for postponing it, but
the newest one-interference with
the Maryland State team matches
tops 'em all for trifling. The Mid
die Atlantic P. G. A. needs a COM
plete shake-up. with some men at
the top who will handle its affairs
with vigor and tact.
