the Lieutenant was running, throw
ing his parachute away just to get
clear of student who had really
taken him literally.
Anyway, I missed him and
plunked the ship into the ground aft
er levelling off too high. Well, I
held it straight and there was no
ground loop. AS it stopped I
breathed again, and / could feel
the smile that cracked my face. A
pilot! I had landed the ship and
it was actually in one piece!
Looking back over my shoulder I
saw Lieutenant Landon. He was
just standing there about half a
mile away. Then I made another
mistake. He raised his hands and
I thought he waved me in-I didn't
know until the next day that he had
been shaking his fist at me for trying
to land right on him.
So I TAXED in, never giving
thought to how my instructor was
going to get in with his chute-you
see, Randolph is a big field and I
had left him more than mile
from our hangar. / had parked the
plane and was IN and beginning to
dress when began to realize what
] had done. Looking out the win
dow could see him trudging across
the hot soil of Texas, in the sun,
with ships landing all around him.
My Lord, I had tied it up againl
I tried to get my feet back into my
flying-suit, tripped and fell, got up
and ran out Of the hangar door. !
guess I was going to take the ship
and taxy out and pick him UP. But
I had lost again-the ship was being
taken from the line by the next stu
dent. I just stood there with sink
ing heart as he came up. But he
didn't even look my way, except to
say, cts kinda hot out there" Then
he just glared and threw his chute
in his locker.
Well, I nearly worried myself to
death that night. ! knew he'd more
than likely tell me after the next
days ride that was the damnedest
student he'd ever seen, and that ]
didn't have a prayer of making a
pilot. But next day he didn't say
a word. All day I started to 60
over and tell him how sorry ] was,
but guess I didn't have the nerve.
During my flying training, / had
girl trouble, too. You would no
doubt call it ''trouble," but knew it

had to see my girl, even If she did
live over thirteen hundred miles

Restrictions Sought To Cut

Foreign Wore

WashingtOn.-TwO measures designed
to prevent a postwar food of CHEAP
pottery and glass on the American
market were introduced in the House
of Representatives last Thursday by
Representative Earl II. Lewis of st
Clairsville.
The two measures would set up a
quota system for glass articles i'm
ported into this country and for earth
enware, crockeryware, china, porcelain
and other vitrified wares.
The quotas asked by the 18th Ohio
district Republican generally would ba
10 per cent Of the annual average pro-
duced in the United States between
1888 and 1887.
The war has cut shipments from
foreign producers, but district pottery
heads long have fOreseen the danger
of a flood of cheap goods after the war
unless protective tariffs and quotas
were set up.
Representative Lewis introduced two
other measures, one which would
amend the tariff rates to withdraw
from the President the power to de-
crease existing rates ,on duty or trans
fer any article from dutiable to free
lists.
The last measure would require that
