Unique Insignia Chosen
by Army Aero Squadrons
The Secretary of War has ap
proved the Insignia for forty-four
airplane squadrons, submitted by
the director of air service. These
tnsignias are for use only on planes
and on baggage for the purpose of
distinguishing the different squad
rons, and will not be worn as shoul
der insignia by individuals. They
comprise the insignia used in the
A. E. F., by the squadrons actually
organized in France, which saw ac
tion at the front.
The Insignia selected for the First
Aero Squadron is the American flag;
for the Eighth Aero Squadron is a
great American eagle, with wings
spread, holding the Liberty Bell; the
Ninth Aero Squadron will be desig
nated by a silhouette showing the
beams of three search lights point
ing upward and forming the nu
meral IX.
The Eleventh Squadron is repre
sented by a cartoon of "Mr. Jiggs"
carrying a bomb under his arm;
while that for the Thirteenth Aero
Squadron shows the figure of Death
depicted by a skeleton running at
full speed with a bloody scythe in
his hand. The Seventeenth Squad
ron has a great snow owl flying
through the air ready to pounce
upon the enemy. Three legs in a
circle arranged in pin wheel fashion
ts the insignia adopted by the Twen
tieth Aero Squadron.
A number of stars in a ring with
a large star with a tail, evidently a
comet, superimposed, represents the
Twenty-second Squadron, and an
American eagle pouncing upon a
German dachshund, which is run
ning away with its tail between its
legs, has been assigned to the Twen
ty-fourth Squadron. The Twenty
fifth has a masked headsman with
an ax; while the Twenty-seventh
has another form of an American
eagle superimposed upon a large
round spot- A painted American In-

Champion and Healer Who Eased His Pains
JAMES M. HICKSON (at left) AND HARRY FORBES
Among the hundreds of ailing and crippled persons who hare gone
daily to St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Chicago, in the hope of being
cured of their infirmities by James More Illckson, the famous English lay
healer, is Harry Forbes, bantamweight champion from 1901 to 1903.
Forbes, who is now about forty-one years old, says the healer's touch
already has relieved a very painful rheumatism affection from which
he has suffered for a year.
Missouri Hen Lays
304 Eggs in One Year
That once thought unattainable
'goal of the 300-egg hen has been
I reached. If but a few years ago a
poultryrnan had been naked If he
I ever expected to see a hen that laid
i 300 eggs In one year he would have
| answered no. Tet, right here In
Missouri, the greatest poultry state
| In the Union, a hen, during the year
1 from November 1, 1918, to Novem
ber 1, 1919, has laid a total of 104
eggs, one for every day of the year
except Sundays and holidays.
The average hen lays from 100 to
150 eggs a year, extra good ones
now 200 eggs. Not so long ago the
200-egg hen was considered some
thing of a marvel, and the elevation
of breeding of the average hen to
the 200-egg mark was set as the
ultimate attainment. Now thousands
of pure-bred hens lay 200 eggs a
year, and the goal has been set much
HARRISBTJRG TELEGRAPH
high or, which breeding and selection
may attain In flocks given the proper
care.
Think what It would mean to In
crease by 100 the number ot eggs
laid on the average by the hens ot
the United States. Think what Mis
souri hens would add to the wealth
of the state by such a proceeding.
It Is estimated that there are more
than 100,000,000 less hens In the
world to-day than before the war.
At the low average of 100 eggs a
year this means that this year the
egg output of the world Is 10,000,-
000,000 eggs less than It was Ave
years ago. Perhaps we can see In
that some reason for the prices we
are paying. More hens and better
hens, the kind that lay 200 eggs a
yenr on the average, Is the need of
the world, not less Missouri than
other states and nations.
This wonderful 304-egg hen has
not only broken the world's record,
but sho has helped upset a theory
of breeds which has prevailed. We
do not say that the theory Is com
pletely demolished. It may work
after a fashion still, and those who
hold It may continue to cling to it
despite the record. That Is the habit
of theorists.
This theory Is that as mere egg
layers the lighter breeds of fowls, like
the Leghorns, Mlnorcas, Black Span
ish, etc., are more profitable than the
heavier breeds, because they lay
more and eat less. We have pro
duced In the United States special
strains which are not so heavy as
the Brahmas, Shanghais and other
meat fowls, but are heavier than
the so-called egg layers which also
are good layers. Chief among these
are the Plymouth Rocks, the Rhode
Islands and the Wyandottes. It was
one of these all-purpose breeds which
broke the record, a Rhode Island
White.
This feat wnfl performed at the
Missouri Poultry Experiment Sta
tion at Mountain Grove, which has
Just finished Its eighth annual egg
laying contest, to which hens from
all over the country are sent. Ir.
this contest there were 60 pens of
five hens each, comprising 15 dif
ferent breeds.
It Is noticeable that among the
highest ten pens seven were of the
American general purpose brods and
only three of the special so-called
egg layers. The result of this con
test, which Is perhaps more pro
nounced In favor of the all-purpose
breed as distinguished from the
single-purpose breed, whether that
purpose be eggs or meat seems to
be proof that the great majority of
American farmers are on the right
track when they choose one of the
American breeds for their flock and
then build up the flock by careful
selection.
No mongrel hen ever laid 300 or
even 200 eggs a year. We ought to
have no room for mongrels in either
the chicken yard or the pasture in
Missouri if we expect to make poul
try or livestock pay. The poultry
experiment station has given the
farmers of Missouri knowledge that
will be worth many millions of dol
lars to them if they govern them
selves by it.—St. Louis Globe- Demo

Industrial Congress
to Meet Next Year
Edmonton, Alta., Nov. —. —The
Industrial congress 'which held ses
sions nt Edmonton, Calgary, Medi
cine Hat and Lethbridge last sum
mer was so successful In exploiting
Alberta resources to the capitalists
of the United States and Canada that
the Alberta Industrial Association is
planning to hold another congress
next year on a larger scale.
Next year's congress will include
the exploitation of the resources of
both the agricultural and industrial
resources of Alberta and British Co
lumbia and its sessions will be held
not only in the leading Alberta cities,
but in Vancouver, B. C. Dis
tinguished financiers and manufac
turers of the United States, Canada
and Great Britain will address the
congress.
Financial support already has
been promised the association by
the large banking Interests of the
two provinces. The association Is
preparing to open permanent offices
in Clagary and the congress is ex
pected to become a regular annual
affair.
Special efforts will be made at
next year's congress to emphasise
the agricultural advantages of the
two provinces. Both Alberta and
British Columbia are fine mixed
farming countries. A great influx
of home seekers Is expected in west
ern Canada next year and a large
per cent, it is believed, will settle
in the two provinces.

Discovery of Poison Gas
Said to Have Been Accident
Pearson's Weekly tells us that the
idea of poison gas, which the Ger
mans first used in wurfare, was the
result of an accident.
Some years ago a disastrous fire
followed a chemical explosion at
Griesheim, near Frankfort-on-the
Main, in Germany. The explosion
took place in the Griesheim Elec
tron factory, and almost instantane
ously the whole building was in
flames. Fire engines came galloping
up, but us they approached the men
were seeen to fall from their seats.
Spectators running after them
dropped as if shot, and meanwhile
the blaze increased, involving fresh
buildings, and even crossing the
river into the village of Schwan
heim.
What had happened was this:
The sudden mixture of vats of dif
ferent chemicals under intense heat
had filled the air with a gas so ter
ribly poisonous of nature that those
who came in contact with its deadly
influence were suffocated at once.
Fifty-one dead and three times that
number injured was the result of
that terrible Are.
This method of destruction ap
pealed to the German war lords,
who pigeonholed the idea, and
brought it into actual operation soon
after the war started.
