IT TAKES Time, MONEY, And EFFORT
Learning To Fly Not PushOUer', Says Alp Aviation Ed
TO PUT WINGS ON JOHN 0. CITIZEN
By DEVON FRANCIS. APP Aviation Editor

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The gov
eminent is talking about a de-
velopment in private flying
which will put 100000 or more
light planes in the air.
AT the expense of arousing
some of the private flying en-
thuSiasts, l am going to state that
flying in airplanes as they are
now being built probably will
never be any more popular than,
say, sailboating.

succeeded in obtaining a license
Is more of a credit to my in
Structors than to my aptitude.
We Franchises always have to
learn things the hard way.
The procedure has been sim
plified considerably for the stu
dents enrolled in the federal
civilian training program. They
are out little money. they have
definite hours for their training
and they have extremely close
supervision.
By way of contrast, as an aver
age citizen, began taking in
struction at small, privately
owned airport in July, 1899, and
it was not until Il months later
that I got around to taking all the
required tests and waited,
breathlessly, for the verdict.
In the meantime had piled
up about u hours of dual in
struction and 46 hours of solo
flying. Only IS hours of solo
time is required for a student to
try out for his ticket, but it is
a good idea to add a few more.

"Begin the New Year right, re-

best name merchandise in town.
We cordially invite your inspec-
ton and approval Of all the beau

display" continued Mr.. Jones.
"shortly before Christmas we
were fortunate enough to obtain
larger and more modern quarters
here at 1s South Front street. In
this new location we are better
able to serve and our facilities to
display our wares to the public
greatly increased. With this change
came an charging in the amount

en- equipment, heaters, rugs and
dozens Of other beautiful and time
ly items. At present u stock is
the most complete and varied we
have been able to boast of in many
years." he continued.
"Since the trend Of purchasing
has definitely become a credit
proposition instead Of cash we have
endeavored to make u terms the
very best in the city. We welcome
charge accounts and work always
for the best interest of the buyer.
Every piece of furnishings bought
in our store and put on time pay

Flowers' Warns Against
Imperfect, Leaky Roofs

At this season of the year When
the wind and rain become extremely
raw you a really feel just how in
secure your present roof is by the
cold drafts running through the
house and the slight trickle of wa
ter that runs down your walls dur
ing a hard driving rain storm. You
probably have noticed it's much hard
er to keep the house warm now,
due to these i~mperfections. 1t would
pay you to call a competent inspec-
tor and have your requirements es-
timated and have this work done
before many extra dollars are spent
for damages incurred and for fuel
to keep you warm.

Profitable, Successful
Year Enjoyed By B. & N.

I'VE are very pleased with the
amount of business we have done
in Wilmington and vicinity during
1885," said the Neuwirth Brothers,
owners and operators of the B. &
N. Tire company, land we're look
ing forward to an even better year
in 1910. During the time we have
been here local motorists have
shown utmost confidence in us -.
that we appreciate deeply. Our
pledge to them for this trust and
patronage: we will use only high
quality materials, expert workmen
and modern, foolproof methods in
servicing their tires and batteries;
the new tires and batteries we sell,
backed by our years of experience,
we guarantee to be fully as service

product in town; and merchandis.

ON recent months we have been

superior Prest-O-Lite batteries S.
These appointments were made In
recognition Of the outstanding pro-
gress we have made since becoming

is due a large amount of the credit
for the steady growth and expan-
sion of this modern laundry.
The workers at the Sunshine are
under strictest health and cleanli-
ness regulations to assure patrons
Of most sanitary work. Working
conditions there are most attractive
and favorable, both from the stand
point of safety and scale of earn
ings. For many years the Sun
shine has received almost the high
est rating obtainable from the North
Carolina department of labor for
their consideration of employees.
Begin this year with a view to
better living, and let the Sunshine
help. Eliminate the home laundry
'sweat shop and materially reduce
your cleaning expenses. All you
need do is gather your wash each
week, call Alb for one of the Sun
shines courteous drivers to come
for it, and when it's brought back
a few days later, sanitarily clean
and completely finished, pay the
small laundry charge, distribute to
the family and everyone will
begin looking better and your pock-
etbook will be only slightly lighter.

Taubman's Prepared To
Help Winter Motorists

Do you have trouble starting your
car on these cold mornings? Your
trouble may be in some fault in
your ignition system; such as coil,
points, rotor or condenser. Taub-
mans at Second and Grace streets
carry a complete stock Of these
parts for all makes Of cars, and all
are sold at money saving prices.
Other winter needs in stock at
Taubman's are radiators, cylinder
heads, grill covers and many more
parts that you may suddenly find
necessary. There is plenty of park
ing space there to ave you time
and trouble.
If you have recently purchased a
new or used car, then you should
certainly see Taubman's new 1916
stock of seat overs. There are
four different price ranges from
which to make your selection, rang
ing from $1.5e to $7.75.
Make Taubman's your winter
headquarters, and save on quality
auto fuels and accessories.

because you figured to have the
laundry do it al would be expen-
sive. After you've Investigated the
Sunshine, learned just how inexpen'
sive it is to have them wash your
clothing and family linens, you'll de
eide right now that by letting the
Sunshine do the work it won't
really be costly, and when they are
through everything will be cleaner
and show less wear actually,
the Sunshine laundry can save you
money and probably give you a bet
ter job than the old-fashioned home
laundry.
In keeping with the steady adj
vance in cleaning methods during
the past few years the Sunshine
has periodically installed new equip
ment until today they are one of
the most modern and up-to-date
laundry establishments in the state.
The latest addition to the Sunshine,
made a few months ago, was a shirt
finishing outfit. On this series of
machines, operated by white women,
shirts are taken from the damp
wash and turned out neatly pressed
and wrapped in less than three min
utes each. The women in charge

Health Believed Cause
of Failures in School

Montgomery. Ala Sept. Sup
Dr.. J. N. Baker. Alabama state
health officer, believes that i'm
proper health conditions are a
vital factor in causing students to
fail in school.
In a special report, he said that
such conditions were "one OF the
important causes" why 40 per
cent OF all Alabama first-grade
pupils are repeaters.
Other causes he listed as made
quately trained teachers. lack OF
textbooks and shortened school
terms.
Pointing out that absence from
school retards learning, DR.. Baker
said that "A very large percentage
OF total absentees charged to the
average pupil would, II Investigate
ed, be shown to be due to Ill health
Of one kind or another"
