It is all right to yearn, but better to earn, , ABMY AIS SEEVICE TO OPEN NEW SCHOOLS To care for the establishment of the Air Service as a pcrnament com bat' unit of the Army, as planned under the proposed new Army "bill the War Department has authorized the enlistment of 15,000 men for this service and the Inauguration of ad ditional schools is contemplated. Men with previous service in the Army, Navy or Marine Corps are ac cepted for enlistment of one year, but this particular branch offers better opportunity to men enlisting for the three year period. To be of real value the men must learn some trade and it is with this idea in view that the establishment of three additional schools is contemplated. At present there is one school of mechanical hnstructlon- nd one op two moro w111 well as varl0U8 schools needed to teach the many lines of work connect ed with flying service. Naturally man cannot be taught a trade in one year and for that reason those en listing for the three year period will be looked to to fill the non-commis sioned officer grades and become the skilled workers. Some of the lines of work covered by the Air Service are: Radio mechanics, wireless tele graph and telephone, radio electrl clans, airplane mechanics, aero motor mechanics, propeller makers, fabric workers, magneto and tool makers, metal workers, welders, coppersmiths, vulcanizers, photographers, draftmen bench mechanics and cheuffcurs This is only a partial list, as experts in almost every line of work will be required to complete the personel. Therefore the chances of advance ment in the Air Servico are excellent A good bright, energentic and active young man with inititave and force should not remain a private long, The following table shows the chance of promotion in a squadron of 150 men, or rather it shows the number of non-commissioned grades that are available and to which men enlisting in the Air Service con be promoted 4 Master signal electricians. 29 Sergeants first class. 33 Sergeants. 48 Corporals. 12 Privates first class. 24 Privates. Of 150 men there are 114 non-com missioned officers. The rates of pay range from $30.00 per month as pri vate up as high as $121.60 per month for a maater signal electrician, .avia- tlon meChanic. In connection ' with tni8 pay it muBt De t,orne jn mind that tne man receives in addition to the money paid him, free clothing, free medical attention, free room and board, no loss of pay while sick, life insurance at moderate rates, etc. Under the proposed enlisted men are to be taught to fly. In fact in structions have already gone out to the various flying fields covering con dlilons under which enlisted men may learn to fly. The main qualifl cation to determine whether or not an enlisted man will be taught to fly are physical qualifications, corn- blned with tne neCe8sary mechanical kn0Wledge that he must have before he will be allowed to participate in flights or allowed to be given instruc tion in a machine. These learning to fly if properly qualified from an edu cational point of view, will be given good opportunity to receive a com mission in the Air Service. The local recruiting station at tho Post office building, has already en listed a number of men for this ser vice and will gladly furnish further information to those interested , .Men's suits.
