The present method of promotion by selection by a board of disinter- ested senic officers was adopt- ed, he in the best interests of the service” to meet the long-contin- ued objections against the old-time method of promotions by piority alone.

S. VALDOSTA, Ga., June 2l.—Andre Tempe. 2 French aviator en route from Daytona. Fla. to Americus made a forced landing in melon field about a mile south of here yes- terday and was rushed here in an ambulance and given treat- ment for a number and bruises Examination bones, although a medical of cuts showed broken the aviator was painfully hurt. The plane was wrecked. Tempe was *aid to be con- nected with a flying concern in Ohio. T Physical Culture @ = e I took some lessons from a man who's fashioned on the Samson plan. His arms and legs bulge out with brawn, to massive chest his breath is drawn. his thews are ali like leather bands, he twists up horseshocs with his hands. He took me in, an old fat bard, and for six weeks he worked me hard; I walked some forty miles a day and lived on beans and toasted h: and when I left the strong man’s place I was a credit to the race. Ah, there was pep in every limb, I was a miracle of vim! I said, “T'll cut out writing verse; for active men no stunt is worse; | want a job that will em- ploy the mighty strength I now en- joy. 1 want to exercise my thews, and heave and strain and bust my shoes.” 1 went around from door to door. to factory and mill and store, and asked for work requiring brawn, and people told me to be- gone. And so I realized at length there was no market for my strength. They nceded salesmen who could sell, and auctioneers equipped to yell, mechanics who could fix their boats, and young men trained in herding goats; they had good jobs for all the guys who in commercial tricks were wise, but they had nothing they could hand to one whose shape was truly grand. “Go to,” they said, austere and cool; “when needing strength we'll buy a mule.” (Copyright) ~WALT MASON. no TTUCE AN EVER THING | w !

J., told members of the Business Wom- | en’s Council, meeting in the Church| of the Covenant, Connecticut avenue and N street, last night The average Frenchman has a keen passion for his native he looks at himself as a member of the great nation, Dr. Shellabarger said. France | dominated Europe for centuries be- fare the Napoleonic wars. but already they see a growing shadow, the pres- nt tense is growing into ‘the past— 'was a B nation”—he said. The see a ¥ popul tion, & across the Rhine ar behold a country twice population, and still growin large industries and high ambitions. The Frenchman, Dr. Shellabarger said, also sees a growing hate in the neighboring populace. The speaker said he has talked with numerous Germans with rcference to France and has the veins rise high in their faces as they expressed contempt, saying that when the next war comes they will put into prac- tice all the dastardly deeds and com- mit all the atrocities credited to them and more. France holds England as its hered- itary enemy, he said, with whom for centuries frequeht intervals they have waged warfare, and they can- not conceive that the four or five cars in which England had aided them has wiped out the previous rec- ord. France feels that England helped her because the source of gome of their own industrial sup- plies were imperiled, Dr. Shellabarg- er said, and would just as willingly turn against France if the score were reversed Americans; @mong all nationalities. he said, are the most popular in Franc though they are the least un- derstood The French can’t imagine why America was so good as to go there and were so instrumental in bringing about peace, and then drew away from them. Dr. Shellabarger defended France's attitude of fearfulness and said that “we in America have too short a mem- ory and too easily forget what France soil; een You Can Rent Those Rooms —and do it quickly— if you'll use a Star Clarsified ad—telling in it just what sort of rooms they are—where located, what conven- iences and all about them.
