• NEARLY THREE
SCORE YEARS
OF SERVICE
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 4.—After
59 years of service in the United
States army, 55 of which were spent
irP active service and four on the re
tired list, Lieutenant General S. B. M.
» Young is enjoying a rest. He is here
on his way by motor from Washington
to the Yellowstone park, where he
hopes to get some relief from rheuma
tism. The general is accompanied by
his wife and is taking the trip by easy
stages, with leisurely stops along the
road.
General Young is a living proof of
the democracy of the United States
army, having risen from private of
volunteers to chief of staff, ordinarily
f
highest post in the army. He now
is 81 years old, and since 1910 has
been governor of the United States
soldiers’ home at Washnigton, D. C.
His resignation was accepted April 30.
He and General Nelson A. Miles now
are the only men in the United States
bearing the rank of lieutenant gen
eral. The only man of greater rank
is General Pershing, upon whom the
Jdltle of general was conferred by con
gress for life, regardless of the nature
of any duty to which he might be as
signed.
General Young enlisted as a private
in company K, Twelfth Pennsylvania
volunteer infantry, in April, 1861, and
served five months as an enlisted man,
being discharged in August to accept
a commission as captain in the Fourth
Pennsylvania cavalry. He was mus
tered out as a brevet brigadier general
at the close of the civil war.
Demotions were in vogue at the
close of that war ^is well as since the
late war, for he accepted a commission
as second lieutenant of infantry in the
regular army the following year. He
again was promoted from colonel of
the regulars to brigadier general of
volrtnteers in the Spanish-American
war and was chief of staff in 1903 and
^1904.
“The soldiers’ home has prospered
under your administration, ’ Secretary
Baker said in accepting his resigna
tion, “and your successive terms as
governor will long remain in the rec
ords as co-incident with its most dig
nified and effective usefulness to
those for whom it is maintained.
The general is tall and presents a
soldierly figure, despite his 81 years
and the “hard knocks” of many cam
paigns.
“What happened to you when you
■were a private?” the general was
asked.
“Just about what happened to any
private in the civil war,” he replied.
*‘l soldiered along with the rest of
them.”
“How did you like the army?” was
the other staple question that more
ti^n 4,000,000 newly discharged sol
diers have each been asked mamy
-•times during the past year, with as
many degrees of like or dislike ex
pressed in their answers.
“Well, I stayed in 59 years,” the gen
eral replied.

PERFECTS NEW
AIRBRAKE FOR
AEROPLANES
PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 4.—J. B.
Anderson, of this city has invented
an airbrake for airplanes, which, he
says, will assist materially in saving
lives, since it will enable machines
to land in a small space. The brake
consist of an auxiliary propellor in a
tube conforming with the angle of
the wings.
One of the principal values cf the
brake pointed out by Mr. Anderson
is that the two engines are used and
that if one goes dead the other will
keep on running. The inventor, who
has been interested in airplanes since
1903, hit upon the idea of the brake
when he was experimenting to dis
cover a way to save airplanes in nose
dives.
The brake will stabilize a plane in
stormy weather, Mr. Anderson ex
plains, and enable the aviator to
keep the machine under control at
all times. The low landing speed will
make it possible to land with safety
even on roofs of buildings prepared
for this purpose, he says.
Mr. Anderson is planning to build
a four-passenger machine soon for
the special purpose of showing vis
itors the mountains and scenery of
the state. This' machine will be
equipped with his new airbrake. He
is also working on a machine which
will land on either -water or land and
expects to use his airbrake attach
ment on this.
Mr. Anderson has lived in Portland
for 25 years and has invented a life
saving suit, firebrick, railroad appli
j ances and several machines.
MONEY MADE WHILE
YOU WAIT GETS TWO
SWINDLERS IN JAIL
SPOKANE, Aug. 4.—An ingenious
“moneyknaking” machine which ap
parently manufactured money with
rapidity, ease and unlimited quan
tities was on display here following
the arrest of two men who were
bound over to the United States
grand jury on charges of photograph
| ing United States obligations.
The pair, Charlie Fillie and Tom
Garvelos, police and federal authori
ties assert, operate the machine be
fore credulous countrymen and w£re
making fine progress in selling it,
until they photographed real cur
rency, which they pulled from the
“business end” of the contrivance.
Sight of the brand new currency, the
officers declared, always resulted in
a riot over who should have the priv
ilege of buying the machine. Inci
dentally the new money brought
about the arrest of the “makers,”
who were held under $5,000 bonds.
