GEN. MITCHELL
PASSES AWAY
—
Soldier ‘Wonderful In War
But Terrible In Peace*
Diet Suddenly
NEW YORK. Feb. 20. WV-'The
dynamic career of Brig. Gen. Wil-
liam Mitchell—‘stormy petrel" of
the Army Air Force— was closed
Thursday by dea jt.
General Mitchell — affectionately
known as "Billy" to the U. 8. air-
men he commanded in the W’orld
War—died unexpectedly late Wed-
nesday at a New York hospital of
heart disease. His condition al-
though not considered serious had
been weakened by influenza com-
plications He was 57.
The first American officer to fly
over the enemy's lines In the World
War Mitchell returned to the peace
time army critical of the aviation
1 policies of both the war and navy
denartments.
Outspoken criticism after he
ended a four year tour as assistant
to the chief of the air service in
Washington paused him to be
courtmartialed and suspended.
He immediately resigned his com-
mission and turned lecturer and
pamphleteer to continue his de-
mands for a separate department of
aviation in the cabinet combining
both army and navy air defense.
At the time of Mitchell's resigna-
tion. the army chlef-of-staff. Gen-
eral Charles P. Summerall summed
up his career:
"One of that damn kind of soldier
who is wonderul in war and terrible
In peace "
Mitchell's World War service as
commander-in-chief of Americas
air forces in France climaxed a
long service as an officer of the
regular army. He held decorations
from six governments.

slow temperature which is from 275
to 300 decrees. For baking pie shells
a hot oven is required. Mrs. Yates
gave her class a fool proof recipe
for pie crust using hot water and
demonstrated the recipe during the
afternoon. She warned her listeners
to always handle pie crust care-
fully and in order to have a shell
that isn't lopsided put the dough on
the outside of the pan and bake.
Flour should never be parked into
the measuring cup and it should
always be measured before sifted.
Mrs Yates told her class
In cooling butter cakes. Mr?
Yates explained alwavs lay the tins
on a damp cloth after taking them
from the oven and then when cool
turn the cake top side up. For a
sponge cake a porous mixture Is
wanted and this is gained by more
baking powder than Is ordinarily
used for cakes.
A variety of recipes has been se-
lected for Thursday's session and
housewives of Brownsville and the
Valley and those visiting here are
extended a cordial Invitation to at-
tend the class opening at 2 p.

During the four days of the cook-
ing school a number of the local
clubs disbanded so that members
might attend the sessions.
