though this was not authorised by
the commanding officer at Binghamp
ton. When the signal was given at Bing
hampton for the start of the last
"jump" to Mineola, Major Spatz, who
was not ready, la said to have re
quested Lieutenant Kiel to wait 10
minutes for him. According to the
lieutenant a compromise of five min
utes was effected, although It was
"up to the commanding officer at the
Binghampton control to determine the
time for starting."

cording to flying club officials, would
be sufficient to offset the combined
start of three minutes and five sec
onds Lieutenan. Kiel had at San

Lieutenant Kiel the race by two
minutes and 15 seconds. Official fig

According to officials of the flying
club tonight. Major Spatz led Lieu
tenant Kiel in actual flying time by
21 seconds, havtrtg been in the air
since leaving San Francisco but 26
hours 13 minutes and 44 seconds.

Newspapermen Do Not Agree.
NEW TORK, Oct. 12. E. M. House
personal adviser to President Wilson
at the Paris peace conference, arrived
today on the transport Northern Pa
cific suffering from a "slight attack
of grippe." Mr. House spent nearly
a year In Paris, where he has repre
sented President Wilson in the su
preme council since the latter's return
home. With Mr. House were his wife,
Commander William McLean, his per
sonal physician and several other
members of bis party.
Mr. House would make no state
ment regarding his health except to
say that he "was much better," but
it was noticed that friends helped him
down the gang plank when he came
ashore. Passengers said that he rarely
left his stateroom during the trip
from Brest and that several times
while at sea his personal physician
called Ln Captain E. J. Lee, the ship's
surgeon, for consultation. Following
these consultations it was stated that
Mr. House was suffering from a
slight attack of grippe."
W hile newspaper men who were ad
mitted to the ship's saloon for a short
interview with Mr. House, agreed that.
he seemed to be "a very sick man."
I several close friends of the diplomat
expressed delight at finding him
looking so well."
Gordon Auchinloss, the colonel's
son-in-law, later gave out a state
ment which read:
"I have nothing to say. Every
thing has been said that can be said
on every yital subject. We should
now besrin to work! work 'steadilv
and tranquilizer'
Asked if conditions In Europe were
better, Mr. House replied:
"Yes, at times they are, then again
it becomes very disappointing."
Mr. House asked for the latest re
ports concerning President Wilson's
illness.
tana and Nevada have requested he
be assigned to the organization of a
irailar service in those two slates.

HYGIENE, AMERICAN IDEALS
WILL BE TAl'GHT.
Commissioner Bryan Would Make
Schools a Vital, Living Force
and Inspiration to Citizens.
BOISE. Idaho, Oct. 12. (Special.)
Americanism and physical culture will
be given special attention In the
schools of this state during the pres
ent year, according to Dr. E. A. Bry
an, state commissioner of education.
Public health, vocational education
and socializing of education will like
wise be featured. Taking up the sub
ject of Americanization, which the
department of education holds to be
paramount, ur. Bryan saia; mm
means that the attention of our na
tive population Is being directed anew
and more strongly than ever to the
fundamental doctrines of our con
stitution and the importance of order
ly government: also that the children
of foreigners and near-foreigners are
to be taught these same principles
and are to be as perfectly amalga
mated as possible: also that for
eigners and near-foreigners are, so
far as possible, are to be orougni into
sympathetic touch with our institu
tions."
Regarding the necessity of giving
time and attention to physical edu
cation and public health. Commis
sioner Bryan says:
"The lesson of the war is a warn
ing and a hint. While in theory.
therefore, our education aimed at the
education and health of the body as
well as the mind, in practice we have
fallen far short of our duty. In har
mony with the national programme,
the schools will give much more atten
tion to hygiene and to the training
of the body. Schools are urged to
provide means for weighing and
measuring the body development of
pupils: to provide a more complete
programme and facilities for super
vised play and bodily development
and to give more attention to school
and community health."
With regard to the importance of
vocational education. Commissioner
Bryan says: "The development of our
Smith-Hughes programme is the most
striking feature of this, but the work
reaches far beyond. More and more,
the schools must connect up with the
life the children are presently to live
and the work they are to do. By the
socializing of education is meant that
the school is not to confine Its ac
tivities merely to the teaching of cer
tain set branches and texts, but is to
be an active living force in the entire
community, the center of Its life and
aspirations. The health of the com
munity through protective means and
public employment, co-operation in
agriculture betterment through boys'
nd girls' clubs and exhibits, will In
dicate the direction of school functions."
