AIRMEN REPORT
THREE1NIHS
(Ily Associated l'rcss)
KANTOl'l,, 111., Apr. 21. Not a
fatality has been checked against the
air service during the three months
that have elapsed since Major Gen
oral Mason M. Patrick, chief of the
United States Air Service issued or
ders to the commanding1 officers of
Chanute, Italling-, Lanfrley, Mitchtll,
McCook and Selfridge Fields to inau
gurate regular scheduled flights over
a model airway over the eastern and
middle western states, according to
records here.
The model air course takes in New
York, Hampton, Va., Cleveland, To
ledo! Detroit, Kokomo, 1ml., and Ran
toul. Each field dispatches a plane
bi-weekly.
The retards show that the first
flights were not all completed on
schedule time, but each trip has
shown an improvement. A trip re
cently completed was from Chanute
Field to Dayton, O., to Columbus O.,
back to Dayton, to Moundsville, W.
Va., ,to Washington to Cumberland,
Md., 'to New York, back to i Washing
ton, to Moundsville, to Cleveland, to
J)etroit, to. Toledo, back to Detroit,
to Kokomo, Ind,, and return to Cha
nute Field. The distance covered was
more than 2200 miles and the total
actual flying time was 22 hours and
ten minutes.
While no aviator was killed, yet
the flights were far from devoid of
excitement and hairbreadth escapes.
Major F. L. Martin in a recent
trip left Chanute on a route which
covered 1800 miles. He was furnish
ed with strip mup.'i covering the en
tire 'route, but only for territory a
few miles each side of'the route. The
only landing placo between Zanes
ville, Ohio, and Washington is
' Moundsville, the remaining land
scape being1 almost continuously
mountainous. Being behind schedule,
Major Martin tried a more direct
route than that outlined and almost
immediately ran into a strong head
wind and dense clouds. He was
blown off his course while flying
over the mountains. After some time
of aimless flying, trying to obtain
his bearings, he suddenly realized his
gas was getting low, his oil was al
most gone, and that he had no place
to land. He was rather high at the
time and dropped down to try for
a landing. Just before his gas gave
out he saw a town and recognized it
as Moundsville, his original objective.
On landing safely he found he had
only three gallons of gasoline left,
and no oil.
Lieutenant Floyd A. Lundell start
ed the only flight in the three
months that was not carried out suc
cessfully, but fellow aviators look up
on him as having a charmed life.
His first mishap on his route from
Chanute to New York was when a
spark plug went wrong and he was
forced down near Wheeling, W. Va.
He repaired the damage and took off
again only to find dense clouds con
fronting him. When he had climbed
above them he learned he was out of
oil. He again landed safely, replen
ished his oil tank and was off again
for Washington. He arrived there a
day late, but went on immediately to
New York intending to make up time
by returning to 'Washington the Fame
afternoon. Lieutenant Lundell start
ed from New York just before twi
light and a strong wind almost imme
diately blew him off his course. He
finally found himself on the edge of
Chesapeake Hay fighting an outgoing
whid. He wns forced to land, but
it was too dark to ee the ground.
He filially cbcided to go it blind and
landed in n field, but Lady Luck had
her head turned the other way and
he hit the only tree in the field. His
plane crashed ami was demolished,
but the aviator escaped with a slight
cut over the eye.

WINNING ,OUT WITH ASTERS j
The rivalry among gardeners to
produce the largest and fluffiest as
lers is one of the most interesting
features of the garden season and
cultural skill is the chief factor
which must be depended lipon to pro
duce the desired results.
The selection of seeil will in large
measure tell the size of the flowers,
relatively, as some varieties natur
ally are larger flowered than others.
As a rule the later flowering types
are larger flowering than the earl
iest. Asters will thrive in any soil
which will produce good vegetables
and they will repay any extra atten
tion in the wav of fertilizing. They
also need cultivation all summer to
be kept in unchecked and vigorous
growth. Commercial fertilizer, par
ticularly bone meal hoed around them
at intervals of two or three weeks,
is a great help.
The addition of wood ashes or air
slaked lime when the bed is prepared
is coming to be considered an essen
tial. It not only adds valuable fer
tilizer to the soil in the case of ashes
and sweetens the soil and releases
plant food in the case of the lime,
but these two act as a check to the
stem rot which has given aster grow
ers no end of trouble during me
last season or two.
The root aDhis or nlant louse also
is troublesome but if the soil is rich,
has been limed or given wood ashes,
the nest is not so likely to give trou
ble. For August and later flowering
it is quite advisable to start tne
seed In the open ground as in tne
house or frnme. The nlants will be
more vigorous in most cases. They
mav bo sown until well into May
to continue the succession of flowers
until frost.
If asters are desired with long
stems for cutting they should be giv-:
