OF IVIITION SCHOOL
IT
Commanding Officer Makes
This Recommendation
Which Will Carry
AN IDEAL SITE"
WAS H TNQTON. Nov. 11. Upon the
advice of Captain Charles DeForrest
Chandler, commanding officer of the
United States army aviation school.
General James Allen, chief of the sig
nal corps of the army, has recom
mended te the secretary of war the
selection of Augusta, Oa,, as the win
ter headquarters for the aviation
school.
Captain Chandler after a tour
through the south visiting Columbia,
Greenville, Alkea and Camden. 8. C,
beside a number f other cities and
Augusta, decided upon the latter
plaee as the most suitable for the
work of the army filers.
Should th secretary of war ap
prove the selection of Augusta, as it
is believed he will, all the officers
and men connected with the Instruc
tion corps at College Park. Md., will
leave for the southern city before th
end of this month. In all there are
seven officers, including a doctor, and
twenty enlisted men. Four aeroplanes.
two of the Wright type and two of
the Curtise type, will be taken along
for use during the winter's work.
Captain Chandler believes he found
at Augusta an Ideal site to carry on
the work which has been so highly
successful at College Park this sum
mer. A fine level field a short dis
tance south of the city limits has teen
decided upon and as soon as approval
has been given, work upon construct
tlon of the hangars will be begun, so
that no delay will be experienced by
the aviators. j ' y

EY'S IDEA OF WAY
TO CHECK TUBERCULOSIS
Suggests Th&t All Patients
be Segregated on an
Island at Sea
CRAWFORD, N J Nov. 11 Th
segregation of all tuberculosis pa
tients on an island st sea was suggest
ed by Dr., Harvey W. Wiley, chief ol
the bureau of ohjimlotry, in an ad
dress hsre tojilg-ht under th auspices
of ths Crawford'vlllsge Improvement
association,
"Wa must give the state power to
stamp out tuberculosis and-authority
to segregate every Infectious and con
tagious diseaae'- said Dr. Wiley.
"Every man, woman and oh fid who
dies of a preventable disease is either
a suicide or sr victim of murder. Thor
ough state supervision and regulation
la th only solution of th problem."
Dr. Wiley called attention to the
fact that the department of agricul
ture spends thousands of dollar to
stamp out disease in hogs and eattle
but that a woman whoa child Is af
dieted with tuberculosis could get B
aid from th government. - It was
here that ihe made his suggestion as
to the segregation of tuberculous pa. 1
tlents, saying "they should be kept
there until they were either cured or
dead."
Every person hers tonight will die
before he ought to unless there Is
more concerted efforts for the conser
vation or public halth," continued Dr,
Wiley.
"If more women were taught pro
perly how to us the cookstove, in
stead of the piano, America would be
better off," -
