Br the Associated Press. I BOSTON. May 30.—Actual experience ‘behind counters in the big department stores, selling ribbons, tying bundles, making change and doing the scores of other things that go to make up! the daily routine of regular employes. will be afforded girls in the city high schools here under an arrangement | just concluded between school and store officials. Pupils will be sent to the stores as 2 part of the school course in sales- manship. spending alternate weeks in the stores and in school. During the! weeks that they are working they! will be paid $10 or $12 according tol their experience. and at the end of the course will be given a permanent po- | sition if desired. Outlining the plan. Louis J. Fish. who | has been assigned by the school board | to_have charge of the work, says: “The subjects that a course in train- ing for retail selling comprises are many if the person selling is to know her merchandise. which in a_modern | department store is gathered from all! the corners of the earth. If she is to meet customers, the salesperson must | be presentable in appearance and| manners; if she is to sell wisely and | well, she must know human nature, humzn needs and desires. possess tact, patience: if she is to carry through the record of the business, she must | know how to use the sales check record according to the method of the | store, in a varied and complicated | number of sales.” i COLORED FARMERS GET BIG PROFITS IN BERRIES Special Dispateh to The Star. BALTIMORE, May 30.—It begins to | look as if the colored farmers of the | lower Maryland counties and the Vir- ginia section of the eastern shore are born under lucky stars. Two years ago they bought $5.000 automobiles | out of their §10-a-barrel potatoes. When the slump came they had to let them go. but now $10-a-crate straw- berries enable them to buy back, in many cases. the same cars. This is the tale that Chief Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue Lewis M. Milbourne brings back with him | from the eastern shore, where he spent several days looking after his| farming and canning interests. Two vears ago. when potatoes were bringing $10 a barrel and every po- tato-patch proprietor was making a Killing. the colored farmers of this | section of the castern shore scorned “Bivvers” and the like, and would have nothing but touring cars of the $2,000 to $5.000 class. It was a case| of “easy come and easy go.' Then suddenly potatoes took a tum- ble in price, and, inasmuch as they cannot be substituted for gasoline. automobile paint and accessories th keep such traveling luxuries going, | the negroes sold their cars and once | more started visiting in buggles and, on horse or mule back The eastern shore colored farmers, | however. seem destined to ride in| automobiles. This vear the frost and c0ld_spared more of the small crops of strawberries raised by them than | those of the whites. According to Mr. Milbourne all along the lower part of the shore they are hauling in their berries and getting fancy prices. rang- ing anywhere from $6 to $11 & crate. Mr. Milbourne said that thirty-eight carloads of berries were shipped from Marion, located in the Virginia part | of the peninsula. one day last week The average vield for each car to the grower, he said, was about $1,500.

Rezular Routen Needed. The first step that should be taken afier the establishment of the central- ized aerial control, Gen. Mitchall said, !should be the mapping out and proper {marking cf regular air routes and the |organization of an eMicient radio serv- Jice to furnish flying directions and | meteorological data to planes while they are in the air. ] It must be remembered.” the officer “aid. “that from the time the big Eagle ne left Lanzley Field for Bolling although there were terrific storms all around Washington and in its path, there was no established way by which a warning could be xent to the pilot to tell him that he was driv- inz his ship toward danger. In my opinion, Lieut. Ames was in the midst jof the storm before he realized its ex- tent. Had there been such a radio service to warn him of the area and intensity of the storm he could easily ‘hi\'e turned away from it.” ‘Would Enlist Boy Scouts. Gen.

Mitchell de- red. “There have been worse crashes in Europe, I believe, but in a1l the annals of fiying in the United States I cannot recall an accident that resulted in such a terriffic loss of life. Of course, the risk of death is a thing that the aviator faces daily. The man who flies realizes that he takes chances, {and he takes them daily, in peace a well as in war. In this case the loss {of life is all the more deplorable be- jcause the victims are men whose loss {will be keenly felt. not only by the {Army. but by all flying people.

Mitchell, assistant chief of ihe air service, also flew a plane; up from Langley Field Saturday night and battled with the same storm| which caused the accident to the hos- pital plane. but came out safely A peculiar feature of the accident was the fact that although it hap-! pened shortly after 6 o'clock Satur-: day. officials at Bolling Field and at the War and Navy Departments were not informed of it untfk nearly mid- night. * Bolling Fietd- was informed shortly after 11 ‘o'clock Saturday ! night telephone from the Doiphin. ! the Navy vessel from . which men went to the assistance of the men in the wrecked’ plane.

While men from the Dolphin were attempting to agsist the men in the| wrecked plane, Brig. Gen. William | Mitchell. second in command of the Army air service. was on his way | back by motor from Rock Point, Md., where he had gone to assist Capt. Burdett §. Wright, his aide, who had | crashed to earth in the same storm which Gen. Mitchell had ridden out.! He arived in Washington after mid- night and was immediately informed of the accident by telephone. First reports from Indian Head. Gen. Mitchell said. gave the number of dead as three. He immediately or- | dered Lieut. Paul C. Wilkins and a detail of enlisted men to go to In- dian d and make.a preliminary investigation of the accident. Gen. Mitchell could zive no reason why the newspapers were not in- formed of the accident until yester- day morning. He said there had been no attempt to keep it from the newspapers pending an official invest- igation. “The Army air service has | a theory of the cause of the acci- dent,” Gen. Mitchell said. “I will conter with .newspaper men this alternoon on the: accident and its | possible causes.” Reason for Delay. The War Department was informed | as soon as possible of the accident, it | was said. The probability, Gen. Mitchell said, why news of the acci- dent did not reach Washington soon- er than it did, was because every- | Dolphin was stunned and too busy attempting to succor the passengers of the till- tated plane to telephone this city. The bodies of the seven passengers were placed on board the Dolphin and | were brought to Washington yester- |- day. Winners of War Honors.
