Red was his sun-tanned beak
He propped himself against the bar

And there and then the jovial tar
This rhantey loudly sung:
oh! it's no! for old Chesapeake Bay
And it's no. for the salt, salt spray.
For the R-less months

And now they've all gone away.
Sing no, for the Chesapeake BAY,
The oysters king
Wherefore I sing
This sweet little roundelavn
He bought the drinks with regal hand,
He 'rented one and all.
Until the crowd could hardly stand
Against that grog-shor wall.
He hoasted OF his pungey trim.
He praised his sprightly crew,
He told of wealth in store for him,
And then he shrieked anew:
"oh: it's no: for old Chesapeake Bay.
And It's no! for the salt, salt spray!
For the R-less months
When oyster hunts
Are barred. have all flown away.
sing no! for the Chesapeake Bay.
The oysters king,
And wealth he'll bring.
SO we'll drink to him to-day"

Admiral Peary for Aerial Arm

wv HILE the development of the airship as
w weapon of war had been foreseen, in
a general way, its vital importance was not
reahzed-certainy in this country-until the
European beligerents realized its potentiali-
ties and put them 10 practical use. Now an
abundant force OF heavier than-air ma chimes
is almost as Indispensable as big guns and
nigh explosives And. in order to keep pace
with the advance of other nations this coun-
try must be equipped with an adequate aerial
branch Of national defense Further, this
will grow to such proportions that its admin
istration Will have TO he az distinct as is
that of the army the navy.
This has been recognized in other coun-
tries: Great Britain, for example has most
poned the creation OF what might he called
the Department OF the Air only because OF
the confusion that would follow If a separate
arm were established during the course of the
war. This Is what Admiral peary is urging
Tor this country, while there is yet peace and
opportunity for effective arrangements He
may be ahead of his time. but time will ca tch
up with him and his ideas will be yindicat ed

Awakened 20 Absurtlity Of Ordinance


n result of the long-continucd efforts OF
a The Times Dispatch, the city authorities
seem at last to realize the anomalous and
ineffective condition Of The ordinances and
laws regarding the operation of automobiles
The inquiry Of the Chief of Police and the
consequent opinion of the City Attorney have
brought to official attention tho absurdity of
the revocation of-license clause in the general
frame ordinance--an absurdity which The
Iimes-Dispatch has pointed out on a number
OF occasions.
AS matter of fact, the Chief OF Police has
always known that he was without authority
to revoke license" that never existed for
years ago the Police Department urged
Council To adopt regulations that would com
pei the examination and licensing Of indi
Viduais. IN place of the present meaningless
permit TO the car itself. That resolution
along with others OF like character designed
to protect the public, died in Council COM
mittees. Now that influential members Of
touncii have announced their intention OF re-
drafting the ordinances. there is strong
ground 10 hope that adequate regulations for
the safety OF the public will be enacted
