This agreement was completed last
week when the council adopted a

BY the Associated Press,

DAYTON, Ohio, Jan. 6.-Armv
Air Corps officers, preparing to train
pilots for fighting at attitudes where
there Is little oxygen and plenty of
weather, today examined data OBJ
tanned on 3,050-mile, nonstop
bombardment plane fight.
Military aviation experts here dis
closed that Glasses" of 80 or so
men would be brought to nearby
Wright and Patterson fields every
week or two for training in high
altitude flying.
The Army's theory that its pilots
and bombardiers are going to do
their jobs miles off the ground was
the basis. officers said, for an exper-
iment which sent a four-engined
Boeing bombardment plane roaring
southwestward on a weekend cruise
of 16 hours and 5 minutes at
attitudes ranging from 5000 to IS, 900
feet.
Pupils" to Become Teachers.
Pupils" in the new high-fying
training program will learn to per-
form their duties while inhaling
oxygen. Their lessons learned, they
will return to home fields through
out the Nation to become teachers
Of other Army pilots.
One officer predicted that 80 per
cent of American bombing would be
done from high attitudes, making
training in the handling of oxygen
equipment essential. Among projects
here is one to determine the service
ceiling for bombers, which officers
said have operated as high as 10000
feet.
A 6-man crew navigated the huge
bomber in the oxygen zone" Satur-
day night and Sunday. Capt. P. O.
Benson, chief of the Wright Field
Aeromedical Laboratory, who OBJ
served first hand the crews reac-
actions, said the men breathed
oxygen "at least half the time"
The flight originally was planned
at a constant 15,000-foot level, and

Eighty-six Of the books children
read a century and a half ago have
been presented to the Library Of
Congress by Frank J. Hogan, Wash
ington attorney, 1t was announced
today
Some of the books in the Hogan
gift are the only editions of their
kind known to exist. Many of the
books are now represented in the
Library only by considerably later
reprints.
Most valuable group in the collec-
ton, according to Librarian Archi-
bald MacLeish. are 10 New England
primers, the earliest of which is
the extremely rare Providence edi-
tion of ITS, containing the beloved
prayer of childhood, Now I lay me
down to Sleep
Bound in Wooden Boards.
Mr.. Hogan'S copy of the Boston
primer of 1870, bound in the original
wooden boards. is the only example
of this edition known to exist today.
There also is a copy, in the original
wrappers, of the Philadelphia edi-
ton of 1899. edited by Noah Web
ster, Jun, Esq
In the days when children's books
were few, Colonial youngsters read
the rhymed alphabet in the New
England Primer, beginning with In
Adams fall we sinned ALL and end
ing "Zacchaeus he did climb a tree,
his Lord to See.'

Cruise Under War Conditions

Capt. Benson was assigned to OBJ
serve human reaction to a virtually
continuous dependence on a supple
mental oxygen supply.
Officers Elated.
But icing conditions as far south
as Texas, snow and a -mile-an-
hour cross-wind near Louisville
crossed up the schedule.
Even so, Capt. Benson and 1t. M.
M. Mum, flight commander, were
elated.
1T was a successful project in
every sense of the word" said Capt
Benson, land much valuable data
were obtained"
Significance of the flight lay not
so much in the mileage recorded, but
in the fact that it was accomplished
under fully simulated war-service
conditions and in less-than-favora-
BILE weather, he reported.
The ship left Patterson Field at
$50 pm. Saturday with 2,492 gallons
Of gasoline, 180 gallons of oil and
ballast to approximate its full bomb
carry capacity of 5000 pounds. Its
total weight at take-of was $1,000
pounds, officers said.
Distance travelled would have
taken it on great circle course
from New York to Ireland. One
officer said it returned with plenty
Of gasoline left.

the Hogan gift give copious details
on the title page. Here Is an ex-
ample:

tanning Fables, Intended as Present
for All Those Good Girls and Boys
Who Behave According to the Fol-
lowing Rules. That Is. Do as They
Are Bid, Come When They Are
Called and Shut the Door After
Them"
One tiny volume, THE Tales Of
Peter Farley About America" pub
lished at Boston in 1927, was the
forerunner of the modern American
Juvenile book, first native production
to accent entertainment in a child's
book as strongly as it did instruction.
Mr.. Hogan Was Tempted.
In sending the collection to the
Library, Mr.. Hogan wrote:
In several instances. as, with my
secretary'S assistance, have been
putting up this package for you, I
have been tempted to hold back a
few of the items. But rare early
American children's books belong to
our National Library and not to
one of us. So here they are"
The books will be placed on public
exhibition in the Library as soon
as arrangements have been COM
pleted. Later they will be added to
the Library's collection of American
juvenile literature.

the greatest infestation of these
pests has been discovered are found
along the SeacoaSt. The saltwater
species differ from those that breed
inland in fresh water. There are
many of our common inland species
that belong to the genus CuleX, and
as far as is known, none of them
are disease carrying. They are most
annoying in their determination to
gore us, and too many of their bites
can ruin a vacation and make us i'll.
The life history of our common
mosquito may easily be observed.
This disturber of our peace is known
in the Eastern United States north
of Virginia and its breeding habits
are typical of the group.
Any receptacle holding fresh water
will be used by Nine. Mosquito for
depositing her eggs. She may lay
from rs to 300. She apparently linn
its the number to the water surface
upon which she lays them. At first
they are a yellowish white, soon be-
coming dark brown and resembling
small masses of SCOT floating on the
water. If the temperature is very
warm, these eggs will hatch in the
afternoon of the same day. From
the lower end of the egg the tiny
larva or "wiggler" will emerge. He
actually stands on his head most of
the time, with the tip of his abdo-
men at the surface of the water, for
his respiratory tube is on the next
to the last abdominal segment. The
