FORT GEORGE WRIGHT. Wash
Headquarters of the Second Air
force will be transferred from Fort
George Wright to Colorado Springs,
Colo, Maj. Gen. Davenport John
son, commanding general. an
nounced.
An advanced echelon will transfer
to the new headquarters about May
Is, he said.
For a long time it has been con-
sidered essential to move the head
quarters to a spot closer to the
geographical center of the Second
air force, which now extends east
as far as the Mississippi river" Cen
eral Johnson said in a press state
ment.
1T is of prime importance, for
operational reasons and for utmost
efficiency of communications that
the administration of the Second air
force be conducted from a central
local. Colorado Springs was selected
to achieve those purposes"
Headquarters have been at Fort
Wright since late in 1910. Bases OF
the Second air force are located in
IA states and extend from the west
ern coastal range to the Mississippi.
Training of all heavy lombard
ment crews for the United States
air forces is the prime function of
the Second air force.
General Johnson, who took over
command of the Second air force
last winter, has made an inspection
of the GLASGOW airbaSe.

FARM WOMAN
LOSES LIFE
AFTER BLAZE
Flareup of Tractor Fuel ii
Stove Brings Fatal Burns
to Mrs. Arlo Miller.
Husband, also Burned, Rescues
Family from Flaming Home
on North Bench.

An explosion that resulted when
| she mistakenly ignited a fire IN
the stove at her farm home 9la
miles northeast of Glasgow with
tractor fuel at 6 Friday morning
brought fatal burns for Mrs. Arlo
Miller, 81, who died that afternoon
in a Glasgow hospital.
Mrs. Miller had risen to prepare
breakfast for her husband, who is
employed at the Glasgow airbase.
He was still in bed in the adjoining
bedroom when he heard the eX-
plosion. Grabbing a blanket and
wearing only his nightclothes, he
ran into the room and wrapped the
covering around Mrs. Miller, carry
ing her back to the bed, where their
youngest daughter, 10 Ann Eliza
abeth, 2, was lying.
There was then no fire in the
bedroom so he ran outside and res
cued their two sons, Marvin Ray, s.,
and Mario Jean, 4, from their base
ment sleeping room. He then broke
the window in the bedroom and
took out Mrs. Miller and the little
girl.
Also Suffers Burns
In spite of severely burned hands
and burns or n foot, he drove
them in his truck to the Howard
Belzer farm nearby, from where
Mrs. Miller was brought to Glas-
gov. None of the children was
burned. The house and all its cen
tents were destroyed.
Two containers were kept in 4
shed off the kitchen. Mr.. Miller
said. One contained kerosene for
lighting fires while the other con-
tanned tractor fuel, kept in the
house to operate a washing machine
motor. He said his wife evidently
took the wrong a when she lit
the fire.
Mrs. Miller, who maiden name
was Gladys Frances Moore, was
horn in Glasgow, June 81, 1915, and
had spent most of her life here.
She and MI. Miller were married
at Washburn, N. D., early in 1897.

Uncle Rays Corner

The African buffalo, of which we
spoke yesterday. usually can whip
a lion. Many fights between lions
and buffaloes have taken place in
Southern Africa. and usually the
lions have lost. The lions may win,
however. if two or three of them
attack single buffalo, apart from
its herd.
While speaking of African buf-
faloes, We may note that they are
distant relatives of the buffaloes or
bison of our continent. They are
not, however, humpbacked, like the
American bison.
Efforts to domesticate the Afri-
can buffalo have failed. In this way
it is very different from the Indian
water buffalo, which has been
beast of burden in Southern Asia
for thousands of years.
Instead of raising buffaloes. the
people of Southern Africa raise cat
tie. There are many thousands of
these within few hundred miles of
Cape Town.
The dark-skinned natives. as we'll
as the settlers, raise cattle. The
Negroes known as Kafirs are noted
Evening star., 1943-04-08

in this field, and have been raising
cattle for hundreds of years.
Some Kaffirs take pains to shape
the horns of their cattle in special
ways. This is very old custom
among them.
A French traveller named Ls Vail
liant visited Africa in 1880 and stayed
there for five years. Here is a short
summary Of what he reported about
the Kafir cattle:
when I first saw the Kaffir cat
tie at close range, l hardly knew
them to be oxen or COWS. Their odd
shaped, twisted horns made me think
of the antlers of deer.
MY guide told me, however, that
the horns were strange because they
had been made so by the owners
of the cattle. Then he and other
Kaffirs spent hours showing me how
it was done
"They take the animal at a ten
der age and saw or cut into a horn,
dividing it into two parts. This
gives the young animal four horns.
If they want it to have six or eight
horns, they make further cuts
little later.
while the horns are young thev
can be caused to bend. They have
learned that they must not hurt the
points too much. but are able with
care to make horn bend until it
grows into an almost perfect circle"
