Airplanes to Subdue Head Hunters.

The next Japanese budget of the governor general of Formosa will contain an item of $91,500 for a flying corps to subdue the head-hunting aborigines of that island. Mr. Shimomura, chief, of civil administration of Formosa. says: “Probably four airplanes will be used in the first year, operations will be started as soon ns the formal sanction o’s the diet is obtained. If it is difficult to secure rhe necessary aviators we shall ask the army to send their airmen. We may also ask the army to train new airmen specially to meet our requirements. There is nothing like airplanes for awing Formosa natives; experience shows that this weapon is one of the best for subjugating them. No economic exploitation of Ari. Dnibu. Niitake and other unsubjugated places can be undertaken until after the savage aborigines are subdued.”

HER ADVENTURE

By AGNES G. BROGAN.

•Cul>yrij[bt, IUIU. by Western .Nrw.p.per Luiou./ Cynthia leaned back and let the motorboat travel aimlessly down the river; she was undecided what to do with her afternoon. If only things happened in real life as they did in those enchanting magazine stories! In such a setting as this, something delightfully unexpected would be sure to befall a magazine heroine. Yet here was Cynthia, her fourth week at the Point, and each day following anothef in tiresome sameness. She had #ea»l until interesting episodes- merely provoked by contrast to commonplace realities.* She hud not even tried to be companionable with the uninteresting young men who made the hotel their headquarters while fishing or sailing the river. The woman guests also were very ordinary with their constant planning for dances and their endless veranda conversations. Her one pleasant relaxation was a daily visit to the lighthouse, whose white tower showed far away. There was a tiny garden at the back of the lighthouse and room enough beyond for Cynthia to moor her small boat. The old keeper of the Point, who was quite a famous character with habitues, was deaf, hut he exacted little conversation from his visitors, entertaining them instead, with true tales worthy of the magazines to which Cynthia subscribed. Old Charlie’s life had been one of adventure.. There was a love story woven through it too, a story with a sod ending, which had not embittered the old man’s cheery spirit. Cynthia loved to listen to his life story swinging in Charlie’s hammock and speaking her admiration afterward —which would-bring a gleam of pleasure to tlie seaman’s eyes-—l>f his perfect housekeeping. For the seaman’s home was the lighthouse. His bunk fitted one end of the spotless kitchen. On cloudless days Cynthia used to climb up the narrow stair to the high upper balcony. The view from here was magnificent and the peaceful quiet most inspiring. Old Charlie had many visitors, but Cynthia was favorite of them all. Cynthia anchored her boat and climbed the incline to the lighthouse door. Charlie was not in sight. He had gone, no doubt, for his daily supplies and would sooh return. Cynthia decided to ascend to the high “balcony and to “look the landscape o’er.” She noticed as she came through the small iron door that clouds “no bigger than a man’s hand” were scurrying across the sky. The swift breeze they occasioned came to her gratefully; the day had been exceedingly hot. Hypnotically she watched the break of the waves ns she crouched against the iron door. Then Cynthia fell asleep. It was a rude beating blast which aroused her to consciousness and to the realization that the afternoon was far spent and a quick storm brewing. She stood up clinging to the railing as the wind flapped her skirts and wondering whether it would be wise to venture now upon the homeward trip in her tiny craft or to await in old Charlie’s comfortable kitchen the cessation of' the storm. As heavy drops fell upon her upturned face she decided upon the latter course and turned to open the tower’s iron door. Then with a gasp of dismay Cynthia found that she had thoughtlessly closed the door, which locked with a spring and could only be opened from the inner side.

Propping herself in a vise between door and rail Cynthia sat, the wind tearing at her. the rain falling upon her unprotected head. In a last futile effort she crept slowly around the high tower, though she knew there was no other means of descent save through the closed iron door. She could cry, of course, but who could heed her sobbing? *fo. she must hopelessly cling, a bit/of human driftwood, buffeted by the elements. By and by the lights would gleam ■ out around her, showing across the angry waters —still she would be alone —perhaps throughout the night. It would not likely occur to those at the hotel that she had stopped at the lighthouse. They would be more likely to think her Safely sheltered In the Yacht club. Peering through her wet hair, Cynthia discerned at last another motorboat making its troubled way through the waves—it had touched shore —old Charlie perhaps returned from his errand. Cynthia determined to scream; a piercing scream might reach his dead ear drums. But there was no response. In her really critical position the girl laughed tremulously. Well—here was her adventur% at last! Then, just as he should —the hero came. Sharply the iron door was flung open. A severe young man scowled down upon the crouching girl. “Just as I expected,” he said angrily, “»nd your daring might have led .you to even more than this, Cynthia.” Masterfully the hero gathered the crestfallep wet little figure up in his arms; inside the door, he waited. “When I arrived at the hotel this afternoon and they told me that yon had gone out in your boat I searched for you at every possible haunt. This was the last which occurred to me. Have you had enough of adventure hunting. Cynthia? Are you ready now to settle down into the humdrum life you professed to scorn? I still want vou very'"much dear.?, ~ “Yes, rm ready,” Cynthia answered meekly, and her lover carried her on down the 6tafr.

CONQUEST OF THE AIR

Aerial Service for Passengers, Mail and Merchandise. BIRDMEN MEET NEXT MONTK Big Convention of Pan-American Aeronauts Will Stimulate Enlistments ip the U. S. Air Service. April —Atlantic City, N. J„ will be the Mecca for a large gathering of American men, and representatives of foreign countries, who will be attracted by the first PanAmerican Aeronautics convention, which meets there, May. Cnpt. Charles J. Gttdden of the United States air service, military aeronautics, now stationed In the administrative department of the United States flying school, Southerfield, Ga., says': “The PaorAmerican Aeronautics convention and exhibition to be held at Atlantic City during the month of May will bring to the attention of the American people the wonderful progress of aviation. The work of aircraft during the war establishes its practicability for commercial uses and Insures the creation in this country of a complete aerial service, connecting all cities and towns for the transportation of persons, mail and merchandise. “Before the close of 1920 I confidently predict this service will be in full operation, with extensions to all countries on this hemisphere. In the United States trunk lines will be established across the country which will place every city and town within six hours from some twenty-four distributing points. Once created and in operation our extensive coast line could be put under complete protection from any possible invasion. Thousands of college trained aviators in and out of the service are now waiting to join In the operation of! an aerial service. “The government cal]s for Ifi.OOO men to enlist in air service for one or three years’ time. This is bound to receive a quick response, as here is an opportunity for men to be Immediately assigned to duty in the service and of the number who enlist those who pass certain examinations will be given flying and balloon piloting instruction. This liberal ojfer is eqpivalent to a one or three years’ college course in aeronautics, and one may become expert in all branches of aviation, and if qualified a noncommissioned or even a commissioned officer. In addition to regular pay, clothing, quarters and rations, extra pay begins with instructions to operate the aircraft. As the number of men wanted Is limited to 15.000 for the entire country, quick application to the nearest recruiting officer will be necessary before the privilege Is withdrawn. “Everybody directly or . Indirectly Interested in aviation should attend the Atlantic City convention and exhibition in order to keep abreast with the times and become familiar with the development of aircraft for defense and commercial uses and witness the demonstrations of the world’s greatest airplane aviators, who will fly, and balloon pilots sail to the Atlantic air port from all over the country.”

Paris, April —.—American troops to the number of 275,000 are returning to the United States from Europe during the present month, Newton D» Baker, secretary of war, said on his arrival in Paris from Brest. In May, he added, the number will fall to 250,000 because of lack of transports, but in June the number probably will rise to 300,Q00, which will be maintained as the monthly rate until all of the 1,400,000 men still here are returned. The secretary said that If any agreement should be reached by which American troops would participate in the defense of the Rhlhe indefinitely, undoubtedly the only soldiers used would be those who volunteered for 6uch service. Mr. Baker said he was in France to participate in the work of the American liquidatidn -committee. He expects te go to Coblenz and the former fighting front with General Pershing and to return to the United States within ten days.

LESSON ENDED RIGHT THERE

Third Answer to His Question Must Have Ueft School Superintendent Gasping "for Breath. Superintendent of Schools Shieis of Los Angeles, while endeavoring to teach a class of boys the compositionof sentences, said to them: “If I ask you ‘What have I in my hand?’ you must not answer ‘chalk,’ but compose a complete sentence such as, ‘You have a piece of chalk in your hand.’ Now We will continue. “What have I on my feet?” “Boots,” was the immediate answer. “Wrong, you haven’t listened to my directions.” “Socks,” answered another heedless one. “Wrong again; worse than ever,” protested Shieis in exasperation., “Well?” as another pupil raised his band. “Please, sir,” then he paused. Perhaps he thought his answer might seem funny, but convinced that it was right, he gasped out recklessly, “corns I”

Kidding Himself.

“That fellow Jones is plumb crazy kidding himself.” “How’s that?” “Why, making excuses for himself—bolstering himself with pretense. For instance, the other night he came in at 12 o’clock. He didn’t want to lie to his wife, so he turned the hall clock ovef on its side to make It look like a quarter of nine, and went to bed conscientiously.” "

Imperious Guest Made Great Mistake in Engaging in Controversy With Hefty Waitress. “A guest came bulging out of the dining room yesterday with rivulet* and rills of ketchup coursing down his face,” related the landlord of the Petunia tavern, “and yelling that he had been assassinated or misconstrued or something. ’Peared like he had bit onto a tack In his fritters, and when he chided Sylphie, the hefty waitress, she busted the condiment over him. Also he wanted to know what I was going to do about it. “‘Well, Mr. Hollar,’ says I, ‘when you found a tack !n your viands -it was an accident, but when you talked so that she smashed the ketchup on your head to a young lady who served her apprenticeship as a waitress on a boarding car for a railroad construction gang, that was- contributory negligence, and I can’t do anything for you except to hand your bill to you and wish you well on your journey.”—Kansas City Star. x

Reduced in Rank.

Because the newly commissioned major looked like ready money the porter had been very active in his attentions. His movements were of the “hot-foot" variety whenever the officer appeared to require service. Also he was careful to address the major as “gin’ral.” And when the train 'neared the Union depot and. following the assiduous use of the brush, the sable servitor discoyered himself in the possession of a dime, he was equal to the emergency. He clicked his heels together, saluted and remarked: “Corp’ral, Ah t’ank yo’, sah.”—Argonaut.
