Readily Lined Up.~
The league had said In an editorial in its
organ. ''The American Flag" that Mr.
McDermott, coming from the packing house
district OF Chicago. and being a democrat,
readily lined up with the merchant marine
opposition" and that there Is a particular
significance in Mr.. McDermott's vote
though We have an idea that it was In line
with the wishes Of the packers and IL Ger
tainly was grateful" to Minority Leader
Clark
Il want to find out how tar these thugs
blsckmailers and muckrakers can 60" Mr..
McDermott said to the committee. Mr..
McDermott was not witness
The chair told the stenographer that that
remark was not to go In the record.
"It should go in the record" insisted
McDermott, heatedly. "If there have been
character assassins II should go In the
record"
Mr.. Kuestermann was asked by the COM
mtrtee II he wanted counsel and he replied
in the negative.
Mr.. Goulder in his testimony gave a
clean character to the officers OF the
league. He denied that the league. so far
as he had any knowledge, had ever in
dulged In any lobbying nor had its Off /
GERS any direct personal interest in ocean 1
subsidy. their work being along broad. pa
triotic lines.
Mr. Kuestermann was unable 10 get from
GOulder even an approximate eestimate OF
the number OF members Of the league. who
they we're and what they paid the so dues |
for and he asked the committee to in
struct that data be furnished. The com
mittee was assured that the information
would be forthcoming.

o'clock Saturday morning Jan. 9th and
died about Z o'clock p. m.
No! this cannot be called death twas
only a transplanting from earth ia
heaven. He was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. H. Greenhill and the only
child, and was sick such a short time
made it SO hard on the bereaved father
and mother.
Walter Elkin was only / year, G
months and 6 days old, but was loved
by all and vas a very bright little fe'-
low. He had helped 80 much to
brighten the lives of his parents and
was just at the age that he could be OF
so much company to his mother. She,
of course, will miss him more than
his father because she will be left to
bear it to herself, while he at his work
car bear it more easily.
The burial took place at Nettleton
Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, where
a large crowd assembled to pay their
last tribute of love and many brought
flowers to place upon the grave of the
little sleeping baby" The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. ]. A.

Misuses of the Aeroplane.

1t has been gratifying to read the in
teresting and unusual accounts of the
aerial exhibition being giving in Los
Angeles. and to notice still further ad-
vance in the use of the a~eroplane. The
direct end for good has, however. not
yet been achieved.
1t was expected that the aviation
meet would be a successful one and
that it wonld net substantial profits to
its promoters. This it has done. The
startling records of Rheims have been
surpassed in some instances and equal
ed in others.
In reading the accounts of these con-
tests n gets the impression that fly
ing of this particular sort is rather fu-
tile business after all. 1t is interest
ing and amusing but not important. Ii
is not at all the thing calculated to adj
vance the interests of aerial naviga-
ton. The contestants are continually
tempted to win unthinking applause by
recklessly taking desperate chances,
and the more people are ~astonished by
these dangerous performances the less
appreciation they have fer the sane
and comparatively safe sort of flying
which means something for the future
of aviation.
Only the first problem has been
solved. The Wright brothers and 9TH
ers have shown that it is possible to fly
and have given exhibitions which at
least create a speculation for more pre-
tentious things in future. These exhi-
lions have done but little toward de-
veloping the substantial and prac'ical
use of flying machines. 1t is correctly
stated that aviation is yet in it's infancy,
but it will rot be helped to any great
extent by such exhibitions as the one
in progress at Los Angeles.
If the aeroplane OF any other flying
machine is to be made of practical
service the tests must not be of high
flying or of speed possibilities, until
the general public has been satisfied
that there is a practical and substan-
tial benefit to be derived from the man
ufacture of such aerial craft.
At present the only result that has
been obtai ed is to show that flying has
| become possible. but that after Ill the
~aeroplane IS a mere toy. a playthlng. a
| novelty that will saon lose its attrac-
~tiveness, il m ire substantial advances
J are not made for p .ople will soon tire of
tho sport as 4 cnild tires OF a toy.

Subsidizinq Automobiles.

Germany has improved upon the
ship-subsidy plan by substituting auto
mobiles. The German government is
now paying $2,242 to owners of auto
mobiles of certain types which can
be seized in time Of war following
five years from the date of purchase
and which can be utilized in military
operations. In order that none but
the German army a benefit by this
subsidy, the provision is made that
the subsidy will cease when such au-
tomobiles are shipped outside the en-
pire. The subsidized machines can
be acquired only by the purchaser
who binds himself to turn them over
to the government whenever occasion
requires. Aside from this, however.
the government pays a certain indem-
nifty to the owner of such automobiles,
the indemnity to be fixed by a board
Of military appraisers, and to be paid
whom the machines are taken for the
use of the army.

TRUTH ABOUT
THAT BRIDGE


And these facts. as related by Oscar
KrinbilI and confirmed by Auditor
Charles Johnson and Richard Schaaf,
Sr., show that for the sake of saving
that little paltry $500 for the city OF
Hammond, the city has lost the use of
the Columbia avenue bridge for four
years and further the county has lost
between 5000 and 5000 in interest on
the investment.
HON much have the property owners
lost?
There are a number of others who
believe that the city ought to get busy.

one in his office, excepting himself, was
qualified to speak for the company re-
garding the desirability of having the
Columbia avenue bridge opened to
traffic that he could say for the COM
pany that the improvement is very
much desired and is badly needed.
Oscar KrinbiIl, in a lengthy inter
view, outlined the action that had been
| taken by the county commissioners al

his statement of the facts appears else
