DAYTON, Ohio, March 25.-Mili-
tary aeroplanes as safe as rocking
chair, equipped with the new Wright
stabilizer, will be turned out by
scores at the Wright factory near
Dayton in a few months. Foreign
military experts say they will revolu-
tionize aerial warfare, but Orville
Wright, pioneer in the field Of avia-
ton, only shrugs his shoulders and
says the manufacture of the new ma
chimes is all in a days work.
Our stabilizer has been given the
needed finishing touches" said
Wright, "and we could have CONNER
cialized it a few weeks ago If we
were not now head-over-heels IN turn
ing out the armored military type
now so in demand"
The new stabilizer is designed to
enable the aviator to keep his ma
chine in control and preserve It's
equilibrium with little effort. In war
fare, planes equipped with 1t may
soar above the battlefields In safety
SO long as they are not wrecked by
projectiles. The aviator may give all
| his attention to his foe, instead OF
constantly fearing air pockets ano
other parils In the currents,
In an exclusive interview TO the
United Press, Wright today admitted
his factory is turning out aeroplanes
by the score.

This new type must carry 1000

On the other hand. belief ur-
doubtedlv exists elsewhere that 1t
will be impossible to drive the Ger
mans from the trenches under pros-
ent conditions except at a loss too
frightful to be considered. This view
of the situation suggests that the
allies must continue on the defensive
in France and Flanders, and concen.
trate their offensive power against
Constantinople. The situation con-
cerning Constantinople Is not at the
moment favorable to the allied cause.
The Turks have obtained the balance

MARKETING WORLDS
GREATEST PhUUlEM
WE ARE LONG ON PRODUC-
TON, SHORT ON DISTRI-
BUTTON.
BY Peter Radfofd
Lecturer National Farmers Union

The economic distribution OF
arm products is today the worlds
greatest problem and the war,
while it has brought its hardships,
has clearly emphasized the inn
portance OF distribution as fact
or in American agriculture and
promises t. give the farmers the
cooperation of the government
and the business men the solution
Of their marketing problem.
This result will, in a measure,
compensate us for our war losses,
for the business interests and
government have been in the
main assisting almost exclusively
on the production side Of agricul-
ture. While the department OF
agriculture has been dumping
tons of literature on the farmer
telling him how to produce, the
farmer has been dumping tons OF
products in the nations garbage
can for want p. g market.
The World Will Never Starve.
At no time since Adam and
Eve were driven from the Garden
of Eden have tie inhabitants oil
this world suffered from lack o,
production, but some people have
gone hungry from the day of GRE
alton to this good hour for the
lack of proper distribution. Slight
variations in production have
forced a change in diet and one
locality has felt the pinch Of wan,
while another surfeited, but the
world as a whole has ever beer
land OF plenty.
We now have less than one
tenth OF the tillable land of tn,
earth's surface under cultivation
and we not only have this sur
plus area to draw on but it is SAT-
TO. estimate that n case of dire Tie
cessity one-half the earrn popu
lation could knock their living oul
of the trees of the forests, gathe'
il from wild vines and draw i
from streams. No one should be
come alarmed; the world vii
never starve.
}. The consumer has always feare'
that the producer would not sup
ply him and his fright has foun'

Back to the Soil.
The city people have been urg-
ing each other to move back to
the farm, but very few Of them
have moved. We welcome our
city cousins back to the soil and
this earth's surface contains l6,-
Oo2, 10000 idle acres Of tillable
land where they can make = liv-
ing by tickling the earth with a
forked stick, but we do not need
them so far as increasing produc-
ton 10 concerned. The city man
has very erroneous ideas OF agri-
cultural conditions. The common
~ accepted theory that we are
!! short on production is all wrong.
Our annual increase in produc-
ton far exceeds that of our in
., crease in population.
The World as = Farm.
/ Taking the world as one big
farm, we find two billion acres d
land in cultivation. Ofthis amount
there is approximately $50, O0O, O0C
acres on the western and $780,
100000 acres on the eastern hem
isphere, in cultivation. This esti-
mate does not include grazing
lands, forests, etc, where large
! quantities of meat are produced
/: The worlds annual crop ap
proximates fifteen billion bushel
s. of cereals, thirteen billion pound
of fibre and sixty-fve million
tons Of meat.

cade, compared with the previou

ulation shows an increase of opl

friends with a torrent Of technical
medical phrases. In their opinion
Dale would never hear again.
It was anguish to Dale to realize
that all the hopes, plans and ambi-
tons of his young life were utterly
blighted, his future blasted, the pres

but one thought; how would Myrtle
take it-pretty loving Myrtle Parr, his
fiancee? The nsws of his calamity
had reached Upton, however. before
he arrived and Dale soon had an add
ed grief to endure.
Mr.. Parr refused to allow Myrtle to
see Dale. In fact he had sent ner
away to a relative, where he declined
to tell. In a blunt practical business
like way he informed Dale that II
would be folly to encourage his daugh-
ter to wed a man in a condition even
worse than that of cripple. In q
measure Dale acknowledged the Wis
dom OF this, for his business chances
in the world would certainly be linn
fled.
There was one ray Of comfort amid
his loneliness and grief, however. He
received a broken-hearted note rom

would love him till the end! No mat
