FLYING FISHERMAN NOW
(By United Press)
Los Angeles, Ca Feb 4 Flying
fish have long been familiar but now
the flying fisherman is introduced
Captain John Loop, whale-hunter,
has adopted the hydupplane in place
of the time-honored dory
From it he hunts for sardines and
whales
The hydroplanes' adaptation to
whaling is a development of the war
when airplanes were used to search
the seas for submarines From the
air the hunter can see beneath the
surface of the water
The chief part played by the air
men in fishing is to locate the schools
and then the whalers or the fishing
boats are sent out to finish the job.
An attack on the whale from the sky,
however, by means of ibombs or ma
chine guns, is not an impossible de
velopment, flyers say.
Loop, who long has hunted whales
off the Lower California coast, al
ready has had big success in locating
schools of sardines from the air.

MOVE IN RIGHT DIRECTION
Pennsylvania's Good Work in Tree
Planting Should Be Copied by
Other Commonwealths.
The state of Pennsylvania planted
more than 3,000,000 trees in 1919
and by so much lias helped the na
tion. The state has a long record in
this respect,* as Pennsylvania's his
tory shows that in 128 John Ber
tram set out many forest trees in
his botanical garden on the banks of
the Schuylkill near Philadelphia,
and among these were Norway
spruce, bald cypress and white pine.
Since his day, population, needs and
methods hare multiplied in almost
geometrical progression until what
America can do shows what America
must do. Palestine, Armenia and
Montenegro show what deforesta
tion means and has meant for the
old world. As a matter of business
administration, it is a fascinating
picture presented by the artistic, ag
ricultural and commercial improve
ment possible when each state zeal
ously goes about the work of forestry
in the way that Pennsylvania has
done indeed, the warp and woof of
what the public can bri ng to pass, is
wonderful beyond description.

Forty years iu the District of Co

Such was the record of sev-

convent, formerly located at Connecti

I am told on authority. For forty
yeais these sisters lived in the school,

grounds hack of the building, sur

past the building now you see It al
most razed to the ground by wreckers,
the biilding and site having been sold
recently for a big price. So the good
sisters at last came forth from their
ce'ls and trod again the streets of the

MORE THAN HE COULD STAND
Oyster Bay Salesman's Sympathy for
Customers Caused Him to Give
Up His Position.
Tins sugar shortage and high cost
of food business isn't all a one-sided
fconow, to judge from the reaction in
the heart throbs of the head clerk in
one of Oyster Bay's largest grocery
stores, a New York Tribune corre
spondent writes Th sympathetic
cleik is Fied Walker, and he handed
his emplo)er, R. W. Royce, his resig
nation the other day.
"You'll have to get another head
clerk, that's'all there is to it, he an
nounced. I can't stand it any
longer."
A fellow employee vouches for the
statement that tears glistened in the
man's eyes as he made known his de
cision.
"Why, Fred!" exclaimed the
grocer. "You astound me Haven't
we treated you like one of the firm f"
"It isn't how you've treated me,
boss it's how I have to treat our
customers. They come in asking for
sugar and I have to refuse them.
They buy a bar of soap and I have to
charge 2 cents more for it than I
did last week. I hurts in here," and
the faithful chief clerk tapped his
breast.
"No he said brokenly, "I'm go
ing away from here. I'm going to
study to be a real estate agent or a
plumber or something, so my con
science will be clear."
Mr. Royce is in the field for an in

NAMES TO BE SUNG.
The supervisor in charge of the
Blackfeet agency at Browning,
Mont., has issued a ci "cular adver
tising for sale certain Indian lands.
The list of the allottees shows th at
the years have not driven out all the
picturesque Indian names. There
are Chief All Over and Richard Calf
Tail and Blanket Woman Don't Go
Out among the old-fashioned kind.
But what sort of name is Everybody
Looks at Marrow Bones? I sounds
like a song. An Annie Rides at the
Door might be the title of a poem.
Lucy Iron Eater is no name for a
gentle lady, but it is easier to write
than Yellow Bird Takes Gu non Top
or Strikes on Top Morning Eagle.

I showed him among others the room
occupied for more th.m two years by
the American delegates of the reljef
commission, in which a reproduction
of an ancient work of arta bust
without armsstood on the mantel
piece. The subaltern thought the
room appeared to be comfortable, but,
seeking to make himself disagreeable,
he raised his eyebrows, after looking
at the reproduction, and said in a
rude voice:
"Why, madam, did you cut the arms
off this bust in a room destined to be
occupied by a German officer?"
Words failed me. What could I
say? He left the house with an of
fended air. But the incident had no
sequel, which was most extraordinary.

IF
YOU
Buying a Watchfora Lifetime
Here's something you ought to consider when you buy
that new watch: The same painstaking workmanship that
builds accuracy into a watch also gives it extra years of life
It's great to think of owning a watch that can always be
depended upon for the right time. And it's good buying
judgment to select that sort of a watch.
You would be proud to own a Hamilton, the watch that
times most of America's fastest trains. The Hamilton's
tremendous popularity with railroad men has been vi on by its
remarkable accuracy and year-in-and-year-out dependability.
Aren't these the qualities you want in a watch?
