pav on Which Women Rule.

Candlemas day is not celebrated In
Holland much more than in England,
but its place is taken by festival un-
known in this country. Slipper day in
the Netherlands is the one day in the
year in which the Dutch woman
claims superiority over her husband.
On that day she rules him to her
hearts content, and he generally
obeys good humoredly enough. That
is, unless she is one Of those ladies'
not unknown in Holland or in any
other country who aspire to complete
rule over their unhappy partners

bird machines and, on the other hand,
building as many war aeroplanes as
they can.
In considering the effect of an
aeroplane in battle, too many people
are apt to pit single plane against
a battleship. How easy to put one
or two or a half dozen flyers out
of business.
But navy men have not fallen into
this error. They know it would be
just as foolish for a naval command
er to send one aeroplane against a
battleship as it would for a military
commander to send one machine gun
against a brigade of troops. They
know that their problem figures out
about as follows: -
A battleship costs from $1O,000,0O0
to 100000; it carries a crew of
1000 men.
An aerOplane costs from $1,000 to,
$4,000, carries a. crew of not more
than two men.

against the battIeship, the proper tao
tics would be to send a fleet of from
IS to 100 aeroplanes, or even 200,
into the fight.
Suppose there were 100 in our fleet
and fifty of them would be destroyed
and their crews drowned. 1t is alto
gether probable that this would hap
pen, but suppose it did. In men we
would lose 100 lives, in money less
than a million.
But, at that, there isn't a chance in
the world that the battIeship would
escape. So the count against the air
ship loss would be the destruction Of
a $15,oo0,Ooo battIeship, the loss of
1000 lives.
It would take at least a year to
build another battleship while the

uIOp OH IT, II. Was proven ny Lu6 WOIh
of air scouts in Turkey that the pierre
ing of a wing two or three times by
a bullet does not put an aeroplane
out of action.
In TripOi, Italian airmen were able
to drop bombs in Turkish camps and
do tremendous execution and then
get away. So far in warfare there
have been two men killed and sew
eral severely wounded while flying.
In a trial in Paris an ex-American
army officer demonstrated a device
which shoots as accurately from an
aeropIane as the big guns Of a war
ship shoot-70 per cent of hits.
Now suppose we send our fleet Of
100 air craft against a battleship and
each ship drops two bombs with 70
per cent of hits. That is 14O bombs
out of 200 landing. One would be
enough to wreck the ship.
So we can readily believe that
these little craft that carry but two
men and cost so little will become the
terror of sea fighting.
First, because of the deadly nature
of the bombs carried by the airmen.
Second, because there are so many
air craft against each individual ship.
Third, because no ship has yet been
built or ever will be built that can get
away from an aeroplane feet that is
once started after it.
An aeroplaHe could give a battle
ship fifty miles start and catch her
before she had been going half an
hour.
