MISS TURNER
From Fridays Daily

The party given to the Girls Club
on Thursday afternoon by Mrs. R. F.
Johnson at her home on Third street
to honor Miss Irma Turner of Balti-
more, Nd, who is house guest at the
home of Miss Irma Johnson, will be
remembered by those present as one
of the lovliest of spring parties.
| The floral decorations consisting of
clusters of lilies of the valley, swan
sonia, violets and pink carnations a.
bounded in profusion throughout the
house. The dining room was attrac-
tive with the spring flowers, the table
being centered with handsome
mound of swansonia, pink carnations,
violets and valley lilies. The effec-
tive colors in the decorations COM
bined with the dainty dresses of the
feminine participants of the affair
made the setting expressly beautiful.

their enemies to come up into the sky
to meet them"
This is the philosophy of Pember-
ton-Billing's campaign.
He has very definite idea of the
plane that would be made for the use
Of the ordinary "infantrymen" of the
sky, the machine that would make up
the bulk of the sky f1otilla.
eve would stamp the wings out of
metal, by the thousands. The parts
would be standardized The frames
would be of steel tubing and the things
could be put together quickly, strong
ly and scientifically, like you in A
meriea put together your small, pop
ular automobiles that you make by the
thousands. The pre-war cost of such
aeroplanes would have been about a
thousand dollars apiece"
''But could you develop pilots to
man so many air machines? ?"
Il can guarantee to develop 5000
pilots in England within the next six
months. I would use a cycle track,
and automobile speedway and a rid
ing track for horses.
First, | would put my pupils on the
cycle track and have them learn the
sense of balance. Then l would pu
them in automobiles to have them
gain sense Of speed.
The cycle track and the automobile
track would give them head training.
Then, by controlling horses, their
hands would be trained and they
would be ready to take up flying very
shortly"
From details, the new member of
parliament passed again to general
ties. He put forth the old argument
that the more terrible war become, ow
ing to improvements in the methods
of killing, the less likely the world
would be to see war.
"War can be wiped out absolutely"
he declared energetically, "by the de-
velopment of al. service. Two ma
tions with a hundred thousand aero
planes each wouldn't dareto fight each
other. One could wipe out the other
over night, and, facing such terrible
chances, no nation would wish to begin
a war. I prophesy that, within the
next ten years, it will be possible for
nations to use at least 100000 aero
planes in warfare. War is develop
ing in that direction"
Have you an idea as to the posi-
bility of awakening the United States
to the Importance of air prepared
ness ?"
81 think you're like the English, old
sport. You know what the Irishman
said about US He said you speak to
an Englishman once and the English
won't answer. You speak to him
second time and he doesn't answer.
Then you hit him on the side of the
head with brick and he looks around
and says L beg your pardon. You
spoke to me, didn't your
1t was at this point that Pemberton
Billing said that, sooner or later, the
United States would have to look out
for Japan.
They're able people" he said.

"Do you suppose the United States

"Not until you begin to get some

Pemberton-Billing has raised such
tumult, conversationally, in Eng
land about the air service that his i
IDEAS of how great and extensive the
air service should be made are of in
terest.
His idea is to have the air service the
greatest arm of the British forces.
He believes that it can be made more
powerful than any navy.
81 contemplate a force of 100000
aeroplanes soon, and force of 100000
within the next ten years. In general
there ought to be five different kinds
of aeroplanes. First there will be a
scout, small, and very fast. Another
will be a heavier machine, armored,
for bomb dropping, carrying, per-
haps, one bomb.
"The third sort will be cheap

ties, for ordinary battle purposes.
ga transport aeroplane will rank
next in Importance. It will be caps
able of carrying from Is to 25 men
from one part of a battle line to an
other and also of moving guns, am
munition and other supplies; it will
probably have five or six decks" Such
a machine would rank as the army
motorbus.
"There are going to be huge bat
tleplanes in the future that will car
ry batteries Of perhaps four five-inch
guns or three six-inch guns with fire
control like battleships and with g
captain and crew."
Get your army and your navy, too
into the sky. Make your enemy come
into the sky to fight. Move your
troops in the sky; let them live in the
sky. Just as Napoleon used to force
his opponents to give battle on fields
which he himself had selected, so let
the generals of the war-to-be force

VANDALISM
BY WEST
SIDE BOYS

The destruction of property so pre-
velent a few years ago along the river
on the west side, and which was pretty
well suppressed when several boys
were sent to the reform school, has
broken out again.
The members of the Gun Club open
ed the building at Shooters Park yes
terday and found that the place had
been broken into and the trap dam
aged and about half a barrel of blue
rocks broken. The destruction is the
work of boys and will be investigated
by the authorities.
