The proficiency of the air corps pilots and the condition of the army planes and ground equipment are not measured by the number at such accidents, but rather by the accident rate, officials stated. "In 1940, army airplanes were flown more than 900,000 hours as compared with about 77,000 hours in 1921, b«t the percentage of accidents in 1940 was far below that of two decades ago," the war said. Give PaUio Facts. The announcement came as Henry L. Stiroson, secretary of war, met with 150 army public relations officers whom Maj. Gen Robert C. Richardson Jr„ head of the war department public relations section, had called in from all parts of the country to discuss publicity policy and problems. The secretary told the officers that the success of the army's program depended upon its rporale, which in turn depended upon the morale of the people at home who supported it, and he warned against the feeling of disillusionment which would spread if these people felt they were being deceived. "Nothing can undermine this morale, both of the army and at the people behind it, so rapidly and so thoroughly as the feeling that they are being deceived," he said, "that they are being given the real facts about their progress and the progress of the cause which they are preparing to defend." The war department report on accidents did not reveal any precise figures as to the number of accidents, but merely gave percentages covering the various reasons causing them. "The detailed data on accidents maintained by the air corps indicate that personnel errors still account for 80 out of every 100 mishaps of all kinds, fatal as well as those which result in no injury to persons and only slight damage to property," the report stated. "Mechanical failure or defects in airplanes and equipment caused but 14 per cent of all accidents and less than 6 per cent of these were due to miscellaneous and undetermined causes." Personnel Errors Blamed. . As to the fatal accidents, in which one or more persons were killed, during 1940 77 per cent were due to personnel errors, while but 4 per cent were caused by faulty material Mrs. Frank Norry of River Forest spent the past week at the home at Mr. and Mrs. Frank St. George.

In closing the report warned the public to be prepared for further increase in the number of accidents. "At the same time a warning is sounded that in view of the great increase in the amount of flying there will be a proportionate increase in the number of accidents, fatal and otherwise, with which the air corps and the public will be confronted," the war departtnent concluded. i'S. Captures German Spy; Credit Goes to Films LONDON. -- Hollywood can now boast of having helped in capturing »" escaped German prisoner of war. Wearing gray flannel trousers, sports jacket and a check cap, the escaped prisoner boarded a bus traveling between Gainsborough and Sheffield, and asked the conductor for a return ticket to Sheffield. But on receiving the ticket he forgot himself and clicked his heels and bowed, as so many Hollywood films have portrayed the typical German in uniform. Conductor Colin Spittle, an ardent film fan, having already been warned that there was an escaped German prisoner at large in the district, informed his driver. Apparently taking no further interest in his passengers, and continuing with his job, Spittle took no action until his driver pulled up a policeman. was a Sunday evening guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Vasey.

Leave Them Daft Notes Seeking Information Give Headache to Men At Headquarters. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Harrison and Edyth spent Tuesday in Elgin. The Ladies' Aid will meet at the home) of Mrs. C. J. Jepson on Friday, August 16. The Scotch Bridge club was enter* tained at tile home at Mrs. E» E. Whiting on Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. NEW YORK --If the boys who McCannon and Mrs. F. Muzzy refilled out their conscription questionnaires think that they had a headache they ought to read the thousands of letters daily seeking information from selective servipe headquarters in the nation's biggest city. The local office released excerpts from some of the tetters of a type which they said "brightens our day." Here's one that stumped them: "PlsauBe help me find' my boy friend. I haven't seen him in two years. He has curly hair and blue eyes and is very handsome. He told me his neme was Smith." Board officials were just as puzzled us the writer of this conundrum: "I was born in Omaha, raised in Pittsburgh and registered for selective service in Tampa. I made the mistake of giving Brooklyn as my permanent address. I have never liired there. Why is this?" Leaves 'Em Gasping. A couple mortf inquiries which left the officials gasping were the following : "I have gallstones and my husband is in the horsepital with kittentrouble. Must he go in the army?." "Who has my number? I have insulted mj[ local broad and gotten vary little information." Some of the letters are-demands by parents, such as these two: "I want my daughter's fiance inducted. He's only a chef and I want her to marry a dentist." "My boy should be deferred, as he faints at the sight of blood. He nearly had a convulsion during the battle scenes in 'Gone With the Wind.' P. S. It was in technicolor." Going-Away Discovery. Some messages are purely informative-- after a fashion: "I registered in New York, then recently moved to Miami. While packing my trunk I discovered I am not of age. ^"hat is all." "After four months of army life and much sober reflection I have decided that I cannot support my wife in the manner to which she has become accustomed on my army pay of $21 a month. Kindly consider this my resignation from the armed forces." The draft has raised even a mother- in-law problem, as this plaintive query shows: "I am secretly married because my mother-in-law hates me. I have been classified as 1-A, and have a very low order number. If I keep my marriage secret I will have to go to camp. If I announce my marriage I will have the old lady after me. What do you advise?" Still in the unsolved file is this: "Selective Service Headquarters. Dear Sir: Your pants are ready. Please call for them at your earliest convenience." : ^ i 5 Farmer Rises at 1 A. M. To Call of His Cows BLOOMINGTON, ILL.-Guy Hilton, operator of a dairy farm near here, is one milker who morfe than upholds the early rising tradition of dairy farmers. The jangle of an alarm clock bell signals the beginning of his day at 1 a. m. Hilton does not rise at this hour because he wants the honor at being the earliest of early rising milkers. He has a herd of 46 Holstein cows and the best of them will give 15 per cent more milk if they are milked three times a day. Average quality milk cows are milked only twice daily, Hilton explained. Hilton milks his best cows at 1 a. m., 9 a. m. and again at 5 p. m. "It isn't hard when you get used to it," Hilton said. "By going to bed early at night and taking a nap between S a. m. and 7 a. m. each morning I get as much sleep as the average dairyman." Youth Coughs Up a Twig That Eludes Surgeons GREENSBORO, MD.--A year ago, 16-year-old Robert Thornton swallowed a cedar twig during the excitement of a baseball game. Pleurisy developed from the poisons of the wood, then pneumonia set in. Eight bronchoscope treatments failed to produce the twig and finally, in a delicate operation, the lower lobe of the lung was removed and a drainage tube inserted to save his life. During all the treatments and operation no trace was found of the twig. The boy suffered a coughing spell recently--and coughed up the twig. Mrs. Toes- Diamonds Are Returned ^ Bat Thief Keeps Gold LISBON.--A thief who stole a box of mounted jewelry from a woman sent a box of 102 diamonds to one of Lisbon's detectives with this note: "Diamonds are dangerous to negotiate and I won't run unnecessary risks, but the gold will be sold easily and I am keeping it. . .
