It was nothing of the kind, and he suggested that the forgery of documents had been done to cover up Hoare's original offenses. The chief warden was Gen. George Bancroft Lambert, and it was the duty of Hoare, as assistant, to check the subsistence allowance claim sheets, sign them as correct, and pass them on to the general, who relied on their accuracy. An Ingenious Fraud. . Afterwards Hoare drew the money and it was alleged that a very clever, ingenious and industrious fraud had been committed, for he caused fictitious claim sheets to be prepared, showing amounts in excess of those earned by the wardens. He got General Lambert to sign them, and then drew the money. On June 19 Hoare was seen by two police officers from Hastings and Brighton, who found three pay sheets for subsistence allowances covering the same period. Hoare told them: "I am alone responsible for the pay sheets and any errors which may occur therein." A further search revealed the remainder of the papers which led to his prosecution. During cross-examination Hoare made the admission: "I placed one sheet on top of another against a window, with the sun sickness having called him. to Iowa a few weeks since.

'continue to confront the aviation industry." The objectives listed by President Willard for higher education in relation to aviation are: , "I. To serve the aviation industry by providing education for such college- trained personnel as are needed in the design, construction, and production of all types of planes and engines; in the whole field of commercial air transport for both foreign and domestic service: and in airport design, construction, operation, and maintenance. "2. To develop research person-, net for private or commercial laboratories or for government and university laboratories. "3. To provide teacher training programs for high school teachers, both specialists who teach aviation courses ancL non-specialists who teach high s<Aool courses related to aviation. "4. To develop and direct off-campus educational programs for technical or industrial personnel and teachers, and for adults interested in the social, economic, and political implications of aviation. "5. To provide flight instruction for limited numbers of properly qualified students under sponsorship of the Civil Aeronautics administration or the Reserve Officers' Training Corps. High school teachers who expect to handle aviation courses, for example, should acquire some flight experience. "6. To develop in co-operation with the aviation industry, the Civil Aeronautics administration, and the Army Air Forces, and with various interested national agencies, co-op- J erative research programs related to air transportation." Specialization should be secondary to instruction in the fundamentals of. knowledge and in a logical manner of thinking, President Willard emphasizes, explaining that "the technical demands or problems of an industry may change rapidly, and this requires men and women who can think in terms of the fundamental concepts of the scientific principles involved in any new situation^ vy surprise party was given in; How to Tell Butch?

The first fairway was bordered, on the right by a row of oak trees. One of the men teed his ball and, taking a swir^g, sliced to such an extent that the ball struck one of the trees fairly, and came bounding back across the tee, so that the player in question, without moving from his stance,'caught the ball in hi& hand as it was bounding past. With a bewildered look on his face, he turned to his opponent and Asked: "What shall I do now?"' , His opponent, without studied effort or inclination to make a joke, replied: "Tee it up, hit it„ again, and then put your hands ih your pockets."

"We have the men, skill, management, and facilities to produce enough goods and services to raise our standard of living as much in the first five years after the war as we did in the 40 years preceding the start of this war," he declares. "Whether we produoe and sell this quantity of goods and services de^ pends primarily upon whether we want to and have sufficient freedom of our economic system. Prices arid wages should be allowed to move freely and not be controlled by private or government monopoly nor by government price fixing nor price agreements among competitors.! Prices must be flexible enough to allow people to buy enough goods to ..fha-intain employment."" , "We can't produce these^goods unless we sell them," he coiitmued. "Selling them depends upon the desire of the people for the goods and ; their ability to pay for them. Tile desire already exists or can be creai& dx by. advoi tising, salesmanship, and promotion. ."The ability to, pay for goods depends upon the people's money income and prices.
