Adjoining Metropolitan |ice School THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., MAY 31, 1925—PART 2. Gen. Fechet, New Chief of Air Service, Early Student of Aviation Regarded by Authorities as Logical Successor to Posi- tion Vacated by "Gen. Mitchell; Native of Texas. Though Gen. James Edmund Fechet is & brand-new officlal as chief of the Air Service in succession to Col. Wil liam Mitchell, now en route to Texas, it is only eight months since the gen eral, then Col. Fechet, was chief of the alr operations, and with Mrs. Fechet lived in a pretty home in Mc Kinley street, Chevy Chase. Mrs. Fechet.and the two girls, Catherine, who is 14, and Mary, who is 11, were right in the thick of things in that active suburb. Gen. Fechet has re cently been the supreme officer of the Air Service in Texas, and this is his native State. Gen. Fechet could pos- sibly not be able to say just when the fascinating problem of flying he gan to engage his thought, and the desire to do so to inflame his am- bition. He was born near Fort Ring gold, Tex., the son of French aad Scotch parents, in 1877, just when the Lone Star State was emerging from the miseries of the Civil War and ghe reconstruction period, and when ot ton crops and plantation problems en gaged the serious thoughts of parents and growing bovs. But he was of martial mind and after completing the regular course in the grammar and high school, he entered the Army of the South ated in 1904. Gen. Fechet has since then devoted mind and energy to the questions which have impressed themselves on the Army and he was amon, first to specialize in aeronautics, an to such purpose that when a recent chief of the Air Service was relieved of his post the retiring chief. Gen. Patrick, and all those consulted promptly named the present officlal as the logicai man to appoint. Fifteen or more yvears ago Gen. Fechet, then a minor officer, was stationed at Spokane, Wash., and here he met and married his charming wife. Mrs. | Fechet was Miss Catherine Luhn, | daughter of Maj. G. L. Luhn, then | attached to the dth Infantry, of which young Fechet also was a member. Mrs. Fechet has all the charm and ease of manner which is inherent in the daughters of the West and she has always been conspicuously one | of the most successful hostesses in | the Army set. She is a homekeeper | of marked characteristic, and when her husband was called back to Washington and the pleasant resi dence which she had made so habit able during her former stay was not available she and the general set about building a house after their ideals. This is to be at 3101 Garfield street, and work on it grows so rap. idly that it now seems entirely prob- | anc the | ARMY OFFICERS’ BRIDE MRS.

Meantime | the Fechets have rented a house at | 3508 Garfield street apd they keep a vigilant eye on the progress of their | own home. Catherine and Mary Fechet | are attending the John Eaton School, | which is adjacent, and they will tinue in the public school until it is | time to think about college. Both girls are glad to be back in Wash- | ington, where they lived during their | formative years and where they have voung friends. Their stay in| was too brief to permit them to make many friends there.

It is interesting to note that one of the great Middle Western States. namely, Towa, furnishes much of the About Popcorn. Ask a small boy what he knows about popcorn and his mental proc esses may immediately concern them- selves with delectably sticky pink | popcorn used'in commerce.

While popcorn may be said to serve an important place as a treat for circus or other occasions, it is perhaps not equally ia >, s vith oo B o assioge ol preciated. Crushed or served with Popcorn is really one var of maize or corn. The white variety has small hard kernels usually ter minating with sharp points. The yel % low corn shows round, smooth kernels When we realize that one of the chief characteristics of popcorn is a large proportion of endosperm, or the body of the kernel, we,can readily un derstand why It has 'its place as a food. There is present a form of body bullding material that contains sev- eral of the important proteins.

Corn falls in the! group of acid-forming foods as do| all_cereals, To return to popcorn, it is impor tant that the corn should be well dried and of the genuine type.
