H1GHER PRICES: BETTER BOOKS.

Higher prices for the higher class OF books
are in prospect, according to George Haven
Putnam, New York publisher. Labor and
material have gone up, he says, and thereby
merely joins the chorus of producers IN all
lines of business. IF books go up, the advance
is likely to be more matter of dollars and
cents, rather than of relative price, compared
with other prices. That consideration is little
too fine, however, to soothe the feelings OF the
book buyer.
But is rise in the price of books to be re-
GREETED? Undoubtedly books were better read,
and better books in the day when they cost
two or three times as much The cheapness OF
the book has long since carried it beyond the
hands of those who very earnestly desired 1t.
1t has been necessary for the book to lower its
tone in order to make it appeal to the indif-
ferent.
In order to keep going the book publisher
has had to issue a line of volumes that COM
pete with the magazine and sometimes with
the newspaper. A higher price for all books
might work toward bringing about return OF
the book publishing business into the realm of
what the publishers themselves still like to call
60 standard works.

BANKING SYSTEM SUPREME.

Resources of the national banks Of the United
States aggregate nearly fourteen billion dol
lars, a sum almost beyond comprehension.
These figures denote substantability of bank
ing interests in this country that justly COM
mands the respect and confidence Of the Ameri-
can people.
When we reflect upon the stress period EN-.
braced in the land for two years; when we con-
template, particularly, the tumultuous and un-
certain days Immediately following the out
break of the great war; and when remember
that bank failures have been remarkably few
and involving comparatively small institu-
tons, we are impressed with the soundness of
the American banking system.

Tho Use Of DINNERS.

Muscatine journal: Three auto
mobile accidents have been reported
in 'Muscatine and vicinity within the
last several days, due directly to the
failure Of autDmobilists to use dim
mers on their cars. In two instances
the motorist was blinded by the
dazzling light OF an approaching car
and with the passage of the vehicle
turned back into the highway only
to crash into a rig which followed
in the rear OF the passing automobile.
With the automobiles becoming more
numerous, more accidents may be ex-
pected unless caution Is exercised by
drivers. Hundreds of automdbilists
have DINNERS on their cars but re-
fuse to use them when the driver Of
an approaching car fails to reduce
the glare of his lights. On the coun-
try road display Of courtesy and a
suggestion OF thoughtfulness would
do much toward reducing the risk
while in the cities and towns the
strict enforcement Of DINNER ordin-
ances would have . salutary effect.
A crusade against reckless auto
mobiHsts would safeguard life and
limb. Even though the motorists
are determined to hazard their necks
by their carelessness the pedestrian
deserves some protection.

Mi.leadina the public.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The recent
letter from Postmaster General Burle-
son relating to postal employees now
in the military service stating they
will be assigned to the positions they
formerly held when released from the
military service seems to have been
emasculated by somebody as given to
the press. The statement 'that the
employees are not to suffer the loss OF
their positions CT salaries that they
carry" is misleading The words .'or
salaries that they carry are not In
the postmaster generals letter. APP
parently it has been interpolated to
make the public believe the admins
tration is continuing postal employees
pay the same as many firms, corpora
tons and private citizens are doing
with their employees now serving in
the national guards. The government
employees who went with their state
guards ARE not now on the post Of
flee departments pay rolls and con-
sequently are not drawing salaries
a point upon which the Hawk-Eye re-
Gently commented as in strange con-
trast with the action Of business
houses and individual employers.

AERoNAUTIC PROSPECTS.

On the thirteenth of July President Wilson
authorized the collection of data for a report to
the war department which should aid in deter
mining a plan for organizing aerial reserve
CORPS The Aero Club of America appointed as
a committee Alan Hawey, its president, Henry
Woodhouse, E. J. Wendell and Augustus Post
This committee has been active to an admirable
degree; its members have personally visited
the aviation centers of this country and of
Canada and have prepared a report which en-
bodies much pertinent informtion and practical
suggestion. It favors plan based on that in
practice in European countries and particularly
IN Canada where it has worked advantageously.
This plan secures the cooperation of both gov
eminent and civilian aeronautic interests. To
enter the government air service candidates
must first pass severe physical test and then
qualify for pilots certificates thus far the
candidate pays his own expenses He is then
to be admitted to the military service on pro-
baton and after satisfying the military experts
of his fitness, he is to be sent to a government
aviation school for technical military training
and his preliminary expenses are refunded to
him on his receiving a commission
Another practical aid to the speedy estab-
hshment of real aerial reserve is offered bv
the aeronautical concerns which maintain
aviation schools. They are willing to allow
= the army to operate these schools at cost sc
that no delay need be caused by building O,
eoulpment OF premises for this reserve training
