MRS. VANDERBILT FOUNDER.
She Found the Reasons For the So
ciety's Existence During Visits to the
Children' Court In New York Ef.
forts Will De Extended.
The New York organization of Big
Bisters, which recently received Its In
coriwratlon papers, is the result of the
Individual effort of Mrs. William K.
Vnndorbllt In the children's court.
The society has already more than
100 members, has an olllce In a Fifth
avenue buildlnp. with a secretary and
assistant secretary to attend to tho
clerical work and to be always at the
court whenever It Is In session and
look after little ulrls who need as
sistance when the members of tlie so
ciety are not able to be present.
Mrs. Vnnderbllt, whose practical
charitable work Is illustrated In tho
apartment homes, with the maximum
amount of sun and air, which she had
put up for people with Incipient cases
of tuberculosis, bepin her visits to the
children's court about two years ago.
There she found representatives of
Jewish and Cntholtc organizations do
ing excellent work anions their peo
ple, but there was no one from the
Protestant denominations to make a
special effort to look after the chil
dren of their churches.
Mrs. Vanderbilt's Work.
There was so much work to be done
that Mrs. V.mderbllt visited the courts
at least once and sometimes two or
three times a week, Interesting herself
In cases when thero seemed need of
assistance. Finding a little ragtag
baby at the front of tho stairs, she
would pick It up and carry it until she
found tho peraon who was supposed to
bo in charge of it. She visited the
children she found In need In their
homes. They did not know her by
name, but only know that some one
kind and motherly was Interested in
them.
Then, tho personal equation being
such an Important part of the work,
she interested her two sisters, Mrs. F.
C. Ilavemeyer and Mrs. Stephen II.
Olln, whose names are among the in
corporators, and some of her friends
also canio in. The women lnterost
themselves personally in tho children,
visit them in their homes, get them tho
proper sort of employment when they
nro old enough for it or, when it is dif
ficult for them to remain at school, en
courage them to stay as long as possi
ble to get tho foundation of an educa
tion and when it is needed ease tho
difficulties in tho way if possible and
always net as friends of tho children, to
be consulted in all difficulties and
troubles.
Plenty For Them to Do.
Since tho society has grown the" work
has gained system, and Mrs. Madeline
Evans, the secretary of the Big Sisters,
Is daily in court and notified tho mem
bers of tho society when there is need
of their assistance. Tho Big Sisters
have had until now so many needy
little ones on their hands that they
have been obliged sometimes to be Big
Sisters to two or three little ones at
once.
Tlie women specif' in their articles
of incorporation that thoy will look
after tho "physical, mental and moral
welfare" of Httlo girls not only In tho
children's courts in New York, but in
other cities of tho United States.
Tho incorporators other than those
who have been mentioned nro Mrs.
Lewis S. Morris, Mrs. Willard Barker,
Mrs. S. S. Sands, Mrs. Ralph Sanger,
Mrs. William M. Wright, Miss Sam B.
Mounce and Miss Llna Ilorn. By in
corporating the Big Sisters will bo able
to receivo legacies.

Two Machines Will Be Detailed For
the Experiments Good Results From
Tests In France by Aviators Who
Reconnoitered Fortress.
Aeroplanes lire to be used In the
United States army for directing ar
tillery lire. This matter has been un
der consideration for almost n year,
tho wbh or the United States to Install
Midi a rTstoin for the control of ii'tll
lery tire following tin miecessfii! ex
periments of tho French army.
The present plan Is to detail two
aeroplanes l'or the work. Whether
Ihoy will be some of those now at
College Park, Mrl., or some of tho new
machines ordered has not yet been set
tled. The future station of the artil
lery aeroplanes will be either Fort
Leavenworth, Kan., or Fort Sill, Okla..
both places being well suited to artil
lery trials of tho nature contemplated.
The necessity for aeroplane control
of artillery lire enmo rrom the fact that
nil modern battery lire is masked. The
gunners do not see the object they are
shooting at. The French, who are con
ceded to have tho finest artillery In
the world, developed tho system of
masked lire This was afterward tak
en up by Germany and England. In
directing such fire thero have been
portable towers mado for battery ob
servers, and tho artillery officers also
have taken ndvantago of trees, church
steeples and other elevntlons. Fre
quently none of theso is avaibible, and
they have never boon satisfactory.
Tests by French Army.
Tho first extensive experiments with
aeroplane control of gunfire were made
in August, 1011, by tho aviators of the
French army from Verdun, who wero
reconnoltering tho French fortress of
Toul. There wero four aeroplanes, ono
monoplane nnd three biplanes used in
this experiment. The four aviators
wero sent over tho fortress, and from
a height of from 3,000 to 3.GO0 feet
they made sketches, took photographs
and mado notes and in two hours re
turned to their home camp, having
covered a dlstanco of 180 kilometers.
Their reports were precisely what the
commanding general needed for an at
tack on the fortress.
Ono of tho most satisfactory results
of the expedition consisted of the pho
tographs, made by special apparatus
nnd carried by Captain Bellenger.
With thlB camera ho had taken close
detail pictures from a height of 3,000
feet and traveling at sixty miles an
hour.
On the following day experiments
were mado in controlling tho Are of a
field battery. This is the work It Is
intended to duplicate at Fort Leaven
worth. The aeroplanes In this case
fly high enough to bo out of danger
from terrestrial Are and locate the ob
jective of the artillery on a map. The
report is given to tho commander of
the battery, and tho neroplane again
takes wing, going this time to tlie rear
of its own battery. Tho battery has
located itself for the aviators by laying
down two broad strips of white cloth
pointing in tho direction the battery is
trained.
Drop Weighted Cards.
Tho battery commander then fires
two salvos at ranges 200 yards apart.
This constitutes a "bracket" Tlie
bracket may bo short or it may bo an
"over." The aeroplanes see which it is
nnd note the result on weighted cards.
These aro dropped down to tho battory.
nnd tlie salvos aro repeated till tho
"bracket" Incloses tho objective. Then
tho ranges aro brought to converge on
tho objective until it is destroyed.
So far tho American aeroplanes have
done practically nothing in tho devel
opment of communication between the
aeroplanes nnd their baso. Tho signal
service hero has built a very good
lightweight wireless set, but there has
been no chanco to nse it satisfactorily.
Thero also has been doveloped a visual
Hlgnal called tho Means signal. With
this the aeroplane observer can tele
graph in Morse" with dots nnd dashes
of smoko. This and tho card dropping
nystem hnvo not yet been tried.
It has been definitely decided to lo
cato ono hydroaeroplane station at tho
Washington barracks. Thero will be
two hydroaeroplanes located at the
now school, Two moro hydros will be
bought nnd sent to a station about to
bo established at Governors Island.

"Farm Journal is good for the man behind the
