The new bridge will be erected just Secretary Baker Talked About Affairs to Military Committee. Washington, April 8. Development of the scout aeroplane and equipment of armored war machines with a larger passenger carrying capacity are the main thoughts of the army aviation department, Secretary Baker today told the house military committee. He defended army airships and their aviators and said a re-organization in personnel might be made "by addition If not by subtraction" but declared that the service has proved its worth in Mexico and has done "as well as possible." above the old Main street bridge, which will be left standing until the ne- one Is finished, so there will be no obstruction of traffic. It is necessary to condemn a little piece of ground to connect the new bridge with No General Shakeup Likely, Except in the Police A Lot More New Homes Are to Be Built in That Section.

Main street. The city commission Is condemning CONSIDER now the means by which many Tires have been given maximum Traction, i.e., by means of a "sandpapery" texture in the Rubber of their Anti-Skid Treads. Every time the Brakes are put on, to make such Tires grip the road, the relatively hard, unyielding, and comparatively brittle, texture of the Rubber in their Treads causes these Treads to grind away on the pavement, to WEAR OUT fast at the point of contact. The sudden efficiency of their grinding-Traction also tugs so sharply on the Rubber Adhesive between the layers of Fabric in Tire as to separate these layers. There is little "give" to them-just as there is little "slide" to them.

So, they gain Traction at the expense of Mileage Naturally such Tires require a great BULK of euch Rubber in order to deliver reasonable Mileage before worn out. And, therein they differ radically from GOODRICH "Barefoot" Tires. Because, the Safety-Tread on Goodrich Tires is made of "Barefoot-Rubber," a new, and exclusive compound which discards unnecessary whitish "frictional" ingredients that are heaviest and inert, as proved by their lighter weight the ground for the county.

The cost of the new extensions ill be approximately Work will be started on the Improvement as soon as the material can be laid on the ground, by the Hutchinson Gas and Fuel Co. The feature connected with this proposed extension that will be of greatest Interest to the general public is the confidence Which the gas company shows In being able to provide Hutchinson, with natural gas for a reasonable number of jrears In the future. Have Assurance of Gat. Such an expensive extension would not be made without assurance on the part of the distributing company that they would have use for the mains for a considerable term of years. The opening of new gas supplies In the southern Kansas field and the large development around Blackwell, Oklahoma, indicates that Hutchinson will have gas to burn for a longer period I than was five years ago thought possible.

The large amount of new building about to commence in Crescent Park district is said to have decided the gas people to extend the mains along Crescent- Boulevard and vomer streets in the addition. the power is applied to go ahead or reverse, the wonderful Frederick Rogers, organist and conductor, will render "The Message From the Crose," byJWill 0.

Oleadall until after his inauguration- next Tuesday afternoon, It was said today. Those close to the nenvMayor said today he had not entirely decided as to who should be chief of police, although It had been practically simmered down to a choice between two men. The air is full of rumors around the city offices, but the only thing known is that Waher Evans would not be retained on the city hall force.

Colored friends of Evans called on men close to the mayor to secure intercession in his behalf, and they were told positively that somebody else would take Evans' place- Colored Folks Demand. It is understood that a demand has been made on the mayor-elfect by the colored people for another meeting, similar to that held Thursday night to get suggestions for chief of police. The colored folks demand the privilege of making suggestion for colored patrolman, and want to name at least four from whom the mayor-elect will pick two appointees. There has been a great deal of gossip about changes being madte in. other appointive positions, but the only way any general shakeup can occur is to have a shake-up, of the commission itself.

Divided in Departments. Ever since the city commission was established there has been a division of the commission Into departments, as'provided by law, and the appointments in the various departments have been made by those at the head of each, as follows: Mayor's department (Gleadall): Chief of police, policemen, police matron, fire chief, and firemen. and Gus Thomas, tenor, and Ellis Ells etretch in the "Barefoot" Rubber Sole (or Tread) of the Goodrich Tire acts as a sort of Lubricant between the Fabric Structure of the Tire and the Road.

He said the fifty-nine aeroplanes now owned by the army are under-powered. Mr.

Baker said he did not believe there is need for a government aeroplane factory. Some Impatience. Recent differences among the officers in the aviation service were attributable, he said, to impatience at being controlled by men whom they may have regarded as not knowing the work. "I have determined," he said, "to reorganize the entire aviation section and to put it under better supervision. We will re-organize under an entirely new set of rules as we will have in the supervision work the services of Colonel Squler, who is returning from Europe.

He will have a board comprising of Captain Clark, ho has been making scientific study at the Massachusetts institute of technology, Lieutenant "Milling, who is the best flier in the army and the best fliers in the country are in the army and Lieutenant Jones who is only second to him as a flier, a board which will make tests of aeroplanes. Experiments. "My idea is to have a more or less central ground convenient to the manufacturers of aeroplanes and to have this board experiment with every machine any maker may offer." Chairman Hay asked the secretary if he were satisfied he would be able to get rid of dead timber and re-organize the service to make it up to date. Secretary Baker replied he felt the investigations had been so thorough and, the department's power was so adequate that he believed an entire reorganization of the aviation service was possible. "Do you know of any reason why we should make any provision for a Zeppelin," asked Chairman, Hay.

The only way any changes could be made in other departments would be either by consent of the heads of the department, or by overriding the department, which would be the first time anything of the kind has been done on the Hutchinson commission, and would be revolutionary in itself. Mayor-elect Gleadall has carefully revalued from making any statements regarding apopintments or what is likely to be done.
