LT. COL RADER i
HAS NOTABLE
RECORD AT 32
SOUTHER FIELD, April 25—Lieut.
Col. Ira R. Rader, the new command
ing officer at Souther Field, who ar
rived Wednesday, has an extraordin
ary military record, he having been
one of the few flyers to go into Mexi
co with Pershing, and he having or
ganized the first American bombing
school in France and participated in
the St. Mihiel and Argoune drives as
a member of the First bombardment
group.
Lieut. Colonel Rader is from the
Golden West. He was born in Cali
fornia July 30, 1887. He served
through the required course of in
struction at West Point, graduating
in the class of 1911, and was assign
ed to the Infantry. His first service
was with this branch of the army
and he was stationed in the Philip
pine Islands.
When the war in Europe broke out
and the United States began to be in
terested in aviation and the training
of pilots for future emergencies, Col
onel Rader was one of the first men
to be assigned to the Air Service. He
entered the work as a student aviator
at San Diego, and applied himself to
the subject with such enthusiasm
and success as to win the rating J. M.
A. (Junior Military Aviator) by July,
f 1915.
When the 'situation in Mexico be
came so chaotic and General Persh
ing led the first punitive expedition
Into that country in 1916 Colonel Ra
der was one of the few aviators who
accompanied the troops.
His training and experience in this
campaign was an asset that became
exceptionally useful later. In 1917
he was picked as the representative
American aviator to go to France and
conduct a training school for our
airmen who were about to take up
the arduous duties of active fighting
at the front. Colonel Rader organ
ized the first American bombing
school in France and conducted it
so successfully that the next step in
his military career was a promotion
in July, 1918, to the grade of Military
Aviator. This is the highest mating
given by our government to an air
man. It is an honor coveted by all
flyers and at the present time there
are but few men in the service of the
United States who have the distinc
tion of writing their names, followed
by the title of Military Aviator. Col
onel Rader remained on duty in
France during the greater part of
the heaviest fighting and was pres
ent at the front as a member of the
First Bombardment Group during the
St. Mihiel and Argonne attacks.
In October, 1918, he was relieved
from overseas duty and sent to the
United States to take command of
the bombing school at Ellington
Field, Texas. The high standard of
work accomplished by the students
of this school is a matter of record
and comment among all who have
kept in touch with the achievements
of American flyers and the various
advances in their methods of train
ing. The signing of the armistice in
November, 1918, put an end to the
heavy activities of such training
schools, except to complete the
courses of such students as had al
ready entered and the few who elect
ed to complete their aviation train
ing by advanced course in bombing.
Colonel Rader remained at Elling
ton in connection with the school un
til his present assignment as com
manding officer at Souther Field. He
is married and will reside, with his
wife and' year old son in the bunga
low at Souther Field, which has been
occupied by the former commanding
officers of the post.

Catarrhai uearness Cannot Be Curti
by local applications, as cannot reach
the disease.d portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness 13 the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
sn inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the birod on the mucous surfaces of the
system.

SAD, DISTURBING THOUGHTS
FOLLOW.
CHAPTER LXXV.
; I sat for an hour without moving,
stunned by what Mr. Frederick had
j told me. I went over our conversa
tion, every word seemed fairly burn- i
| ed into my memory so fearfully had '■
ij they hurt me. That Neil, my Neil, j
the father of my boy should be dis
honest; should knowingly cheat and
deceive people was almost unbear
; able. Yet once more I filled with
distrust, once more had veered en
i tirely around in my thoughts,
j I had been so sure that in this last 1
analysis Neil would prove himself all
| I thought him; that in this talk with
Mr. Frederick I should learn that all
j my fears, all my forebodings had
been useless, that the cruel gossip
j I had heard had been nothing but
gossip, and without foundation, that
the reaction was terrible.
“Can I ever believe in him again?
Can I ever be happy?” I said aloud'
as I got up and weakly, like an old
| woman climbed the soft carpeted
1 stairs to my room, the room which ’
j I had; so delighted in, and which now j
' I looked at olmost with loathipg as I
j recalled what Mr. Frederick had
said. People were blaming Neil for
living as we did—perhaps they were
| also blaming me. Maybe they
| thought I wanted him to be dishon- :
est so I could have a handsome home, 1
cars, and all the luxuries we enjoyed, i
l The thought was torture.,
I deliberately made a round of the
house. Even into the kitchen did I
go, impressing upon myself the lux
ury with which I was surrounded; j
Could it be true that Nell was really
taking money from widows and or-,
phans to buy all this ? I tried to re- ;
fute it in my mind, tried to say no,
he hadn’t done so! Everything we
had had been honestly earned, but I
j couldn’t. In the light of what Mr.
Frederick had told me, I couldn’t!
I knew he would not willingly
hurt me, that while he was blunt he
1 was also kind. He had probably sos- j
tened much; Things perhaps were
worse than he had told me .No won- |
der he as well as Lorraine tried to
save me from the mortification which
would have been mine had I adhered
jto my plan to enter society. No won. |
! der he had advised me to wait until;
;he had ‘a look in.’ I wondered if he!
! had seen Mr. Powers —he had said!
| that he might. Why didn’t I think
to ask him. I wouldn’t fail to do so ,
next time he came. He, everyone
had a great respect for the big bank
er, and his opinion.
| I started to order the car, then
halted. The cars, too, were they not
bought with other people’s money? j
Was not Neil criticised for having!
them also? No, not until I knew'
| more of what was true, and what
| false would I use the cars. I would
walk.
It may have been a morbid streak
in me that made me choose the old
| est, plainest dress in my wardrobe.
‘ Then I took little Robert in his
go-cart and walked for an hour.
When I came back I felt better physi
cally; but my mental distress had
been increased.
I had met Lorraine Morton. She
turned and walked with me, looking
in surprise at my costume.
“Where oh where is the stylish
! Mrs. Forbes gone, oh, where oh,
' where has she gone?” she sang out
at me.
“Lorraine will you answer me a
question, and' answer it truthfully? I
asked without preamble.
“If I answer it at all I will tell the
truth,” she bantered. I was sure
she had no idea of what I was going
to say.
“Are people talking of our extra
gance, our new house, cars and all
the other things when they speak of
us?” I couldn’t say Neil’s name. It
stuck in my throat.
“Why—Barbara—” Then: “Yes
Barbara, they are! I never should
have told you, had you not asked.
But they say he takes the money
given him to invest, and uses it to
make ■ a splurge, to live on. I am
sorry you asked me. I am afraid
you will connect me only with disa
greeable things.”
“I wanted the truth.’’
“I know you havn’t been to blame
Barbara, You didn’t know.”
"I have been to blame I should
have made it my business to know.”
