Y„ July B.—Sergeant Gianfelice Gino, of the royal Italian flying corps, was killed in an airplane accident at Hazelhurst Field yester day while making a nose dive for the benefit of the Italian mission to the United States and Major General William L Kenly, director of mili tary aeronautics. Sergeant Gino, who had been in structing American aviators here for sometime, was the tutor of Captain Antonio Silvio Besnati, the Italian airman who fell to his death here last May. Guiseppe Bevione, chief of the Italian military mission for aeronau tics, issued a statement in which he said that the fall was due to the low altitude at which Sergeant Gino at tempted his dangerous feat, "prob ably through mistake in judgment." The accident followed a success ful flight Gino had made in a larger machine when, with General Kenly as one of his passengers, he circled over the field with twenty-one other planes in battle formation. This was the third trial flight of the first American-built Caproni plane. CUTICURA HEALS ECZEMA ON BACK Itched Badly, Could Not Work or Sleep.

Dr. James Francis Sullivan, for merly physician of Bellevue Hospital (Outdoor Dept.), New York, and the Westchester County Hospital says there are thousands of men and wo men who need a strength and blood builder but do not know what to take. In his opinion there is nothing better than organic iron—Nuxated Iron— for enriching the blood and helping to increase the strength and endur ance of men and women who burn up too rapidly their nervous energy in the strenuous strain of the great business competition of the day. If you are not strong or well, you owe It to yourself to make the fol lowing test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk with out becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of Nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much you have , gained.

COME TO PARKWAY MONDAY" EVENING, PENROSE SCORES PROBING AS STOP TO LARGER WORK Senior Senator Calls Agricul tural Investigations Useless and Ridiculous Washington, July 8.—"I have sat here for the past year and voted for .more measures that met my disap proval than I have voted for during the preceding twenty years as a mem ber of this body," declared Senator Penrose, in the course of an attack upon expenditures proposed by the Democrats in the Senate on Saturday night. The Senator, who spoke for nearly an hour, especially criticised the Democrats for the wastefulness of the Agricultural Department. He referred to investigations proposed by that repartment as "useless and of a ridiculous character." "I hjve had a disposition like most Senators to let the Administration' go a certain distance and Mien see how it would make out, but the absurd character of these expenditures has exhausted my patience," said Senator Penrose. "At this time every dollar of the citizen's money, taken from him in taxes or borrowed from him. should be applied strictly for war purposes. "The city of Philadelphia, the third city in the country,- has been notified by the Treasury Department, through the Securities Corporation, that it shall not be permitted to proceed with certain improvements. Either the securities will not be approved or through priority orders and other arbitrary powers of these autocratic minions that have been set over us in the last year, Philadelphia will not be permitted to go ahead with the work." Senator Ridicules Houston The Senate was convulsed with laughter while the Senator sought to hold up the Department of Agricul ture to ridicule for asking an appro priation of almost half a million dol lars with which to investigate skunks, squirrels, coyotes, oysters and cottage cheese. "I consider that in the general ag ricultural appropriation bill recently passed and before the President, and his alleged supplemental bill for stimulating agriculture there is more waste, criminal waste, of the public funds than in any measure that has ' been pending before the American I Congress in 100 years," he said. "I have long considered the bill for the Agricultural Department approxi mated about as nearly a condition of graft, departmental graft, as it is possible to approximate without actually Involving the participants in legal proceedings. We only have to examine some of thes items to real ize their wastefulness. There is in j the two bills—the amount can easily j be estimated—a number of millions j of dollars, I hesitate to say how | many, which, in my opinion, are vir- ; tually being poured into the gutter.

GROUSE WILL BE PROTECTED State Commission Expected to Take Action at Its Meeting Tomorrow More than state-wide interest at taches to the meeting of the state game commission to-morrow because it is expected that Pennsylvania will join the ranks of the states which have moved to prevent the exter mination of the ruffed grouse by declaring a closed season. This movement is general or rather will be before long as grouse are now protected in most of the nearby states and where they are not the force of sentiment among sportsmen is against shooting them. Extensive steps for propaganda have been un dertaken in New York and half a dozen other states and more will Join, while the United States govern ment authorities are helping. The whole campaign is part of a plan worked out by western Pennsylvania sportsmen who noticed the growing scarcity of the grouse and the ef fect of unrestrained hunting and severe winters. Members of the commission, who have been among the men most in terested, are thoroughly conversant with the situation throughout the state and backed up by petitions from practically every county ex cept Philadelphia and a few others where grouse are unknown, will es tablish a closed season of either one or two years during which the grouse will be protected and state and private enterprise will work to replenish the great game bird. It is seldom that as much popular Inter est gets around in any movement as the campaign for the grouse and what is attracting attention is the first attempt to close the state to hunting of one kind of game without an act of Legislature. Under author- JULY 8, 1918. lty of recent laws the commission Is empowered to close on certain kinds of game and has done so, but this Is virtually a state-wide prohibition on .grouse at request of Bportsmen. The commission will at the same time extend protection to quail, deer, wild turkeys and other game to va rious counties on petition, some for extension of such interdicts.
