Texas Cattle Foftd of Airplane "Dope" Dallas, Tex. —Discovery that Texas I cattle will eat the wings of an air plane if the machine is left un- I guarded is one of the reasons why a I general order to "stick with the ma chine, no matter what happens" is I impressed upon every cadet aviator i training in Texas. The cadets are I instructed particularly never to leave [ their "ships" in fields, no matter how far from the traveled road. The fact tnat cows have an appe t tite for airplanes was discovered only I after one or two machines had suf- Ifered real loss from discriminating Texas cattle. The wide, supporting planes are covered with a cellulous preparation that makes them airtight, known in the technique of flying as "dope," and "dope" makes as tasty a meal for cows as the bovlnes have dis covered for a long time. It softens under their tongues, and the cattle in their eagerness to obtain it, will chew the expensive linen planes to pieces to extract the last particle of "dope" flavor. Another reason for the order is that an airplane is a valuable piece of property with many detachable parts offering an attractive Invitation to looters if one were left unpro tected in a lonely field or on a road. Souvenir hunters, however, are much more feared than thieves. Avi ators who have made -forced ianfl ings while on cross country flights say it requires their utmost vigilance to keep curious spectators from breaking up their "ships" and carry ing them away piecemeal, so ea?er are the country people for souvenirs. An aviator landed recently in a wheat field not far from here. The i curiosity and interest in him was so great that in less than an hour the field was so crowded that the owner of the ground had to ask the Dallas police to clear the field to pre vent his growing crops from being stamped into a total loos. - LITTLE PARTIES MEMORIAL DAY Both Country Clubs Entertain Informally With Outdoor Sports and Dancing The special evenj at the Couritry Club of Harrisburg, yesterday was the Tombstone Golf Tournament in charge of Harry Taylor Neale.

Soldier Sticks to Post While Comrades Sail Fredrick, Md. More than a month ago an army truck toppled over and was wrecked on the moun tain road between Hagerstown and McConnellsburg. The officer in charge of the detachment looked sadly at the debris and then picked out one of his most reliable privates. He instructed him to guard thi3 truck "until further orders." "Further orders" have never come. In the meantime the faithful soldier has stuck by his post. For a month and some days he has made a wrecked army truck his home. Some farmer's wife out of the kindness of her heart has been feeding this sol dier. \ Day in and day out the guard has Stood by the wreck. His only pas time has been watching passing au tomobiles and reviewing in his mind the historic personages who have passed over this road. There was General Braddock, the doughty Eng lish officer, who was a victim of In dian strategy, and General Washing ton. Both of these and other men famous in the history of yountry passed over the read and by the point where this American soldier keeps his lonely vigil. The outfit this soldier belongs to, it is stated, has gone to France, and ho still sits there awaiting "further or ders." Captain Burt T. Jones stopped to quesUon this soldier, who is keeping his solitary guard. He was prin cipally attracted by the scraggy net of whiskers behind which the soldier is hiding his face. His beard has grown thriftily without the daily shave. "Sleep?" said the private, in replv to the captain's question, "Why, cap tain, I didn't know there was t-o much sleep in the world as I have had in the past month. I believe I could stay awake now for a week. I am so fed up on sleep." Captain Jones will report the case and it is expected some relief will soon come to the faithful guard.

Gary, prestdent of the American Iron and Steel Institute, speaking at the convention of that body- here to day, declared that the United States government and the steel producers were now working in complete har mony and understanding and that all suspicion toward the industry had been dissipated. Judge Gary, discussing the ques tion of taxation, said there was>talk of doubling excess profits and in come taxes and expressed the opin ion that the steel men were willing to be heavily taxed to defend the Tights and loberttes of the world, provided the levies were equitably distributed and the money wisely ex pended. "If we win this war," said the speaker, "it will not matter much. In dollars and cents, to us. If we lose the war, it will not matter much whether we have anything at all or not. The outlook is good. There is no occasion for gloom. "When history comes to be writ ten in future years in a fair and un biased way, the men who do the fighting behind those in the trenches and whose power is most felt in de termining the war will be acclaimed as the steel and iron producers of America. "I recall the dark days of 1907 when wo did not know where we stood with the government, but I am happy to say to-day that our gen eral committee, working under the direction of the Secretary ot. War and the Secretary of the Navy, have been able to get fair decisions. Our unselfish attitude is appreciated at Washington. We have a steady cus tomer and one who is able to pay as he goes. We will win this war be cause we are right and do not seek conquest."
