TERRE HAUTEANS TAKE J9K RIDE IN CLOUDS

Three Aviators Kept Busy With Flights to Accommodate Many Seeking An Extra Thrill.

The aviators were busy Thursday afternoon, and the airplanes, as was prophesied, were touring over the city, coming so low that everyone waa certain they were going to fall. There were twenty-six passengers taken— and at 115 each. Who said that people of Terre Haute do not appreciate a good tiling? Among those who went up was little Ruth Taylor, 14 years old. She and her father, Robert Taylor, went out to the field with no intention of going up, but the little girl's enthusiasm convinced dad that it was great sport, and persuaded him not only to allow her to go, but to take a ride himself.

H. D. Humphreys, who while watching the planes from his country home south of the city, was told by one of the neighbors that passengers were being taken up, decided that he wanted a ride, went ou^ to the field and told Lieut. Fagley to take him up and let him '"jazz" around over the surrounding country for a few minutes.

STRANGE FLOWERS IN FRANCE.

A strange phenomenon is to be seen at present on the battle fields ol France.

Flowers, not known within living memory, are breaking out on the scarred surface and in shell holes anc dugouts.

Botanists have become Interested in the discovery of the plants, which, it is believed, have sprung from seeds buried in the depths of the earth for decades past. A well known botanist in London, discussing the phenomenon, said: "There Is evidence that seeds may be buried for a large number of years awaiting the time of germination. "It is known that seeds have beer buried for upwards of sixty years without losing their power of germination. Seeds of corn and wheat buried with Egyptian mummies thousands of years ago have been planted in the twentieth century and have germinated in the ordinary way. "It is quite possible that strange flowering plants—that is. strange tc the local inhabitants—are now flowering in the French battle fields. The heavy shellfire which has torn up the earth may have created conditions foi their growth after lying dormant sc long.—From Stray Stories.

NEED ROAD ENGINEERS.

In a recent issue of the Engineering Nrw Record, attention is called to the weakness of road enginering courses in our colleges and universities compared with the great need for trained road engineers and material inspectors. In order to become a railroad engineer a man, after graduating from a college in which he has taken several courses in engineering, is obliged to work under the supervision of an experienced resident engineer so that he becomes thoroughly grounded in practical railroading. On the other hand, there are few schools which devote much attention to the subject of highway engineering and the men who take charge of the construction and maintenance of our public roads are largely untrained and inexperienced. Furthermore, they are constantly changing because of political changes. We are preparing to spend many millions of dollars in road construction and the spending of this money should be placed under the control of men who have received proper education and experience. There should be short courses for the many road officials who are not engineers and the public should be educated by means of public lectures, exhibits and articles

Sheriff Hamilton and Deputy Anderson went to Center Point last evening and 'arrested Hicks after lun assault on his son, in which it is claimed that he brutally beat up the younp man and then went to his home with the threat that he was going to get a gun.

Twenty years ago, Hicks, who was then a preacher, deserted his wife and four children and disappeared. About a year ago he suddenly returned but the prodigal failed to effect a reunion with his family.
