1t is just as feasible that girl
should "make good" in business as
that she has made good at everything
else she has earnestly attempted. The
game of business, and it is game

open, and with women as with men
those who dev-te their best thought
and greatest energy to playing it are
going to win. In Chicago there has
recently been opened a department
store owned, organized and operated
solely by women, and no doubt it
will draw a large mems trade.
From the latest Investigations it is
computed that go per cent of the wo-

Among the other possibilities of
Molino may be mentioned the clay
deposits, actually in the town limits,
which are suitable for the manufac-
ture of tile, sewer pipe, flower pots
and turpentine cups.
Again there is abundant growth of
hard wood near the town, suitable
for the manufacture of slaves, ham
dies, spokes, wagons, etc.
The opportunity for a wood pulp
paper mill is unrivalled here. There
lis abundant second growth pine
timber which, being free of turpen-
tine, is best adapted for the manu-
faeture of paper; rail and water
transportation mean cheaper freights.
In the meantime, plans have prac-
tically been completed whereby Mo

The farming interests are develop
ing by leaps and bounds. There are
thousands of acres being released for
cultivation, with the timber removed,
the land, underlaid by stiff clay SUBJ
soil, is among the finest in this sec
ton of the country, and the price is
cheap. There is considerable gen.
eral farming, but the principal inter-
est is in live stock, for which Molino's
proximity to the markets especially
adapts it.
Molino's rapid growth is a, sample
of what West Florida enterprise can
do. And with its trade territory ex-
tended by the bridge, with the Span
ish Trail tourist traffic sweeping out
of the northland, a never ending
stream, and with the back country
developing at its present rate, will be
one of the most thriving agricultural
sections of the United States by the

A great majority of girls starting

the man who more than any other
is responsible for the prosperity of
Moline, "there were only four white
families within half mile of where
the town is now"
Moline, an incorporated town TWEEN
ty-three miles from Pensacola, on the
Louisville and Nashville railway, with
spur connection with the G. F. & A,
and lying on the banks of the Escam-
bia river, now has a sawmill with a
thousand dollar weekly pay roll, the
most up-to-date brick kiln in Florida
with a daily capacity of 100000 brick,
worth SIS thousand, canning plant
with capacity of carload of canned
goods a day, which runs for six
months of the year, giving employ
ment to a hundred and thirty people,
besides buying 400 bushels of sweet
potatoes day from the farmers of
the region and paying them forty
cents bushel.
Molino also has four church build
irgs, two modern school buildings, a
good bank, business houses, etc. 1t
is electric lighted, and only the other
day water works were installed.
While other parts of the country
were at grips with the financial de-
preston of 1915, the Moline plants
were operating on full time, and are
still operating on full time. Within
the last two years, indeed, Moline de-
veloped four brick stores and bust
ness buildings, eight or ten resi-
dences, the canning factory, electric
light system and two town buildings
representing an investment of $780,
900 or more.
Moline, mill town since 1884,
when Colonel Thomas Cooper erected
two mills there Though it was known
as Durant's Bluff them, had various
ups and downs until 1905, when H
c. jacob bought the sawmill which
had been suspended for two years. A
stock company was formed, and the
capacity increased. The timber COM
ing in by the Escambia river was in
sufficient to keep the mill going, so
large timber tracts were purchased,
and in 1910 the logging railroad was
started. The company now operates
fifteen miles of railroad track, six
and a half of which were construct
ed last year.
In 1915, 8,160,911 feet of logs were
cut into 15,057,00 feet of lumber
an output of million and a quarter
feet month. Seven hundred and
thirty-two carloads of lumber were
shipped, bringing S163 ,S40.49, the bal
ance, about four thousand dollars
worth, was sold locally.
To labor $52,702.90 was paid in
1915.

TOWARD AVIATION.

As 70 the part which the United States gov

A SUMMARY OF THE VALUE OF
THE ZEPPELINS TO
GERMANY.

The Zeppelins have been a disappointment.
All the damage they have done which could
possibly aid the Germans in a military sense
would not begin to equal the cost Of single
one of these craft. Therefore, assuming that
future wars will be conducted with a greater
element of common sense than this one, the
Zeppelin can be safely eliminated.
What determines the worth of an aeroplane
is the work I may be depended upon TO per-
form. The war has shown that but two tasks
may be assigned to aviators with the positive
knowledge that they will be carried out prompt
" and accurately. These are scouting and
range finding.
Important movements cannot be concealed
from the eyes of the aerial scouts. As the
fiers gain experience, their estimates as to
numbers of troops and significance Of certain
tactics on the ground below become more re-
liable.
Range finding is equally important. Oficers
who. have been at the front for year admit
that once the aeroplanes appear over their
heads and commence signalling the gunners
the occupants of that particular position may
as well move The proper guidance of single
shot from one of the big guns saves more than
the cost Of an aeroplane.
Thus, for at least two reasons, the hylng
machine is invaluable and indispensable. The
army or navy without them is at hopeless
disadvantage. The commanders in the field
are insisting that each battery be complement
ed with its quota Of range finding aircraft.
The supply Of scouts has come nearer to keep
ing pace with the demand than in other
branches of the air service.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-09-17
AS AN ART is
STILL IN ITS INFANCY.

AS naval patrols seaplanes are extremely
useful. They can do the scouting formerly
left to the destroyers far more rapidly and at
a negligible cost. The wide -ange Of vision
afforded the aviators and the high speed OF
the machine render this arm Of the service IN
estimably important.
Asa means Of offence the future Of the aero
plane is problematical. Without question good
results have been obtained from the dropping
of bombs on railways, ammunition depots and
munition works. But in most cases IT has
been matter Of pure luck.
Bomb-dropping devices have not been per-
fected to the degree necessary TO make the pro-
cedure dependable. When the destruction Of
an army division or a line Of trenches Is at
tempted by feet Of many hundreds Of ma
chimes we shall know more about the subject
One thing know from experienced Is dis
concerning and demoraizing 70 have aerial
bombs drouped in ones immediate vicinity.
All the belligerent governments are expert
menting with enormous machines, both Tor
land and sea. More power ard greater speed
are the aims Of the constructors. There IS OF
course. a limit, but how far of it is nobody
can prophesy at this period Of the develop
uent. The field Of the aeroplane, as military
and naval asset will be determined only when
that limit is reached
But the lying will 20 on. We shall hear
many more amazing tales Of prowess on high
all Of which will be an obstacle to those who
are working out the big problem. Failure to
fulfil widely advertised predictions, reason
able or otherwise, always proves injurious.
Just as irresponsible talk on technical mat
ters by those who know nothing Of them Will
work for evil, especially when there is chance
of such chatter being published. The public
has been fed on wild statements emanating
from sources neither reliable nor genuine and
the mantle Of authority has fallen on unworthy
shoulders.

AIR FICTION IS NOT ONLY
STRANGER THAN TRUTH,
BUT SNAPPER

But among all the lies Of the war one
stands out with exceptional distinctness, not
so much on account Of its quality, perhaps, but
because it was recorded by an American writer
of long established reputation-one who had
no need to resort to the compiling OF improved
reports and who had no fear OF losing caste
for failure to produce results.
The article appeared in the December issue
of reputable New York magazine. 1t dealt
with the subject Of aviation in a general way,
and was largely resume Of previously pub
lished facts bearing on military aeronautcs.
The only excuse for the whole story and the
foundation on which il was built was the state
ment that the flying boat America, constructed
for Rodman Wanamakers transatlantic effort,
had destroyed, single-handed, three submarines.
Assuming that the tale had been true, 1t was
well worth writing about for several reasons;
because, you see, 1t would have settled once and
for all the question Of whether It pays TO build
huge aeroplanes for offensive purposes entire
IL. II one machine could in few months
sink three submarines, the naval men Of the
world would think lot less about expensive
destrovers and devote more Of their time TO
the acquisition Of seaplanes.
Perhaps already some Of them are acting
on the information contained in the article in
question. Perhaps, too, they will restrain
themselves when they learn the truth Of the
matter. which is that the America never de-
stroyed even one submarine, and that not more
than two undersea boats have been sunk by
aviators since the war began.
The U-boat which torpedoed the Arabic was
reported destroyed by an aerial bomb, but her
loss has been denied by an official German re-
port, although it was admitted that she had
been damaged. The second case is that Of
another which met its fate at the hands of
British and French aviators patrolling the
waters off Ostend There is reason 10 believe
the last report authentic.

was an account Of what was termed the firss
battle between two seaplanes"-s remarkaols
statement. This diversion has been going on
for more than a year.
In America the writers have fallen back on
wild rumors Of marvellous aeroplanes which,
they assert, are being manufactured there
for the humiliation Of Berlin and other KIN
dred objects. Only few days ago came inc
report that Britain was building huge air
feet for the avowed purpose Of wiplng out the
Krupp works at Essen. Naturally. the British
War Office would scatter broadcast the news
Of such an intention.
As matter Of fact, the exact value OF arr
craft in warfare has not been determined. Ihey
are known to be indispensable. and new uses
for them are becoming apparent rapidly. But
attributing to them impossible feats Will not
make them more effective.

THE FIRST BATTLE BETWEEN
TWO SEAPLANES, WHICH HAS
BEEN GOING ON FOR
A YEAR.

OF late there has been another lapse, for the
reason that the fund of improvised anecdotes
has slumped tremendously. An evidence OF
this state of affairs appeared in a news story
published few weeks ago in leading metro
politan daily Three-quarters Of column
was devoted to the yarn. The main feature
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-09-17

was telling his friend something interesting;
certainly the attention paid 10 his words indi-
Gated that. At times he pounded the table
with his fist while his voice rose sharply as he
made a telling point. At other times ne
'eaned forward across the table and his words
came kissing through his teeth in whisper
that carried mystery and conviction.
Don't talk to me about the British navy
he was saying. DO you want 70 hear some
thing? Will you keep your source Of informa-
ton TO Yourself"
The reporter nodded cautiously, as reporters
do. Then the little man drew from drawer
some sheets Of paper on which were set down
divers memoranda-dates, names and figures.
He studied them for moment, and continued;
The German Zeppeins are going 10 win the
war Nobody who has not studied the subject
has any idea Of their powers. Let me tell you
there he beat an accompaniment TO his words
with his knuckles), the Zeppelins have gone

The reporter, Of course, was amazed
Eyes. sir went on his informant, and
you'll. find every word Of this is true "
course, the British are not admitting It, and
the Germans can't get the news through. How
do get these reports? That is more or less
of secret, but I'll tell you this much-it Is
sent by carrier pigeon 70 Barcelona and mailed
from there. | have particular interest IN
keeping posted" Here he smiled mysteriousiy.
The reporter became interested and asked
for details which were promptly forthcoming.
The little man had them all-the names OF the
ships, the dates and locations of the sinkings,
the numbers of the Zeppelins accomplishing
the feats and the sizes and weights OF the
bombs dropped. He described minutey just
how each of the unfortunate vessels was af-
fected by the missiles and whether she sank
by the bow or stern.
Truth TO tell, the reporter hestated long
time before turning in his story. But ne had
taken careful notes, and II was too early IN
the war TO Jump at the conclusion that the
thing was impossible. He couldn't let it go If
there was chance of its being true. So finally
ne ran il for what it was worth, and thus was
recorded another Of the series Of great lies.
In Justice it must be pointed out that some
of the stories which appeared were written and
printed in perfectly good faith. In such in
stances the author frankly revealed the source
from which his copy was derived. Others we're
pure fiction, and attributed to all sorts Of i'm
aginary personages. The war reporters path
is strewn with difficulties, and he is quick to
snatch at the possibility Of a beat.
He feels that he must produce certain
amount of copy whether the material for 1t
exists or not. Some really able men maintain
that when there is a dearth of news taking IS
legitimate, provided 1t makes good reading and
INJURIES nobody. It's mostly a matter Of con-
scierce
