THE AERoPLANE SQUAD.

The employment Of United States aeroplane squad in
the pursuit of Villa should give that branch Of the army
opportunity to demonstrate its worth For the first
time this branch of the service viii be used in actual
vice against enemy It has been criticised weak and
not to be compared with those of European nations
Frederick Palmer in his series problems Of national
Defense asserted that planes slow out of date
and inadequate in numbers 1t has also been said that
American avaors not practced enough to make the
aeroplane service effective Apparently acquescng in
these views the Aero Club of America recently appointed
committee to devise plans for increasing interest in ava
ton as means of national defense The committee urged
that 1000 avaors be trained this year. that aid be given
state militia organizations for the maintenance of
plane squads and that be offered for flights
Those who favor enlarged army aviation service
disregard the possible utility Of the aeropane for drop
ping bombs enemy troops but lay emphasis its
value in locating the position of the enemy and making
gun fire effective The aeropanes have largely taken the
place of cavalry scouts the European battefeds
Under modern conditions of warfare the enemy is often
out Of sight Of the gunner To direct the fire accurately
and to know when hit is made the aeroplane is essential
Aeropanes in Europe have been specially built to ward off
these air scouts and other types constructed to pur
them The only type used in the United States army
Is the scout There planes for resisting pursuing
enemy planes
In the Mexican difficulty there will of course be no
need Of such planes But the scout aeropnes may be of
great assistance in spying out Villas followers The zone

the aeropane should be greatly superior to cavalry The

TALKS ON THRIFT
Savings Bank Centennial Series.

Whiskey's Decreasing Tax on Thrift
Whatever may be the consensus Of
opinion as to the necessity for and de-
STABILITY of alcoholic liquors as bev-
.erages, no thinking man will deny that
drinking is an expensive habit, costly
both to the individual and to the state.
A dollar can be spent quicker and with
less to show for it at the bar than in
any other way, and the man who is a
good spender" and keeps pace with
the crowd around the social glass must
keep pace that kills.
OF late years the production and con-
sumption of liquors and beer has in
creased enormously. and from obser-
walton one would conclude that every
body drinks a little and most people too
much. The resultant evils are wide
spread and far-reaching, even to the
third and fourth generation, for the
cost does not end with the walters
check. but with the bills for police,
.almshouses, prisons and Potters fields
The man who INDUCES this habit
must realize that he Is putting a self
imposed tax upon his thrift as well as
a tax upon his energies. or what avail
to work hard and then spend to no use

cuitoas route to get there. but eventu-
ally It will find Judgment in some bank,
where it will work for somebody, per-
haps harder than he worked for IL.
And the easiest way to get 1t In a bank
quick-to the other fellows accounts
TO buy the drinks for the crowd.
Cheering news along this line comes
from government reports on the con
sumption of liquor for the past year.

Alcohol is Iessenlng its FAX upon thrift.
The consumption Of liquor in 1913 was
4S,220.056 gallons. In 1914 II was l39,-
13S,501 gallons, while in 1915 it was
.125, l55,17s gallons, net decrease Of
1s,000,O00 gallons in two years. Like
wise in the matter Of tobacco. In 1915
I'VE burned Up 600,0Oo,O0O less cigars
than heretofore III a single year, and
the governments tobacco revenues de-
creased $4,000, 900. One hundred and
eight distilleries went out Of business
in 1915 and Al breweries ceased 10
brew. Forty per cent of our govern
ment revenues have been derived from
liquor taxes, ana in 1915 these revenues
fell Off $22.oo0,O0O.
Whatever may be the cause for this
.commendable showing whether be-
cause Of the thoughts Of war and what
1t might mean, or whether as q people
we are beginning to realize that this is
% tax; or whether it is because in many
places YOU can't get a lawful drink, the
fact remains that we are drinking less
and saving more.
Whether a ma. figures that drinking
is expensive. or harmful, matters little
as long as he stop. This conclusion Is
very apt to fatten his pocketbook some
what and pad his pay envelope and
make him a better citizen. When he
concludes that indulgence in any form
.of extravaganza can get him nowhere
but downwards. and thrift will surely
get him upwards, he has chosen Welt
for thrift consists not only in doing
some things, but refraining from doing
others. the chief of which is that habit
which takes your all and gives nothing
in return but regret. and regrets are
costly emotions,

When German exchange declined to extraordinarily

PRIMARY PUPILS PERFORM.
Number of Parents See Little Folks
In Drills and Class Work.

About twenty ladies, members of the
parents and teachers school visiting
club gathered at the south primary
school last Thursday afternoon and
for about an hour were entertained
by Miss Mary Warren's class of
youngsters.
Miss Warren had prepared Splen-
did program of songs, marches, drills
and class work and it all illustrated
graphically just what is being done
in the schools to train the little minds.
The pupils in this school have a
bright and helpful teacher and the
teacher has a class Of clever little
tads, the two essentials making very
strong combination to secure good
school work
The first part Of the program was
devoted to marching, songs and drills
with the pupils keeping time to the
music and going through the evolu-
tons with all the pleasure and inter
est evinced by the alert child. Then
Miss Warren took cards bearing keys
of different words and had the five
year-olds form the words complete
from them. That cutting paper, while
SOmeWudJ VI d nulSdlICS dlOuHu hOhAC
teaches the child mechanics, was
shown by the numerous articles in the
form of houses, boats, furniture, fig
ures and many things requiring skill.
Miss Warren evidently believes that
they are never too young" to learn.
Mrs. Carl Alt, president of the club,
presided and Mrs. Nellie Mink read the
minutes of the last meeting. The
children went home about 4 o'clock
and the parents shortly after, thank
ing Miss Warren and the committee
for the afternoon.

New Serial at Orpheum.

'The Girl and The Came" has been
attracting goodly crowds at the
Thursday night Orpheum show, and
last weeks performance evidenced a
very good reason for the increasing
audiences at each installment. Helen
Holmes is the heroine of this drama
of thrills and hair-breadth escapes
and Helen is a considerable person
age.
She climbs telegraph poles to call
for help after the wires have been
cut by the 'villyun," and sends her
message, caring little about not hav-
ing a ground" for the instrument
Then Helen leaps from the pole to a
moving freight train that is travelling
at least thirty miles an hour, and
after gallOping over the car roofs,
again foils the villain in a fight for
the possession of the engine throttle
Last Thursday night Helen again
lived up to her rep" for deeds OF
derring-dO by chasing some thieves
with a railway motor car and climbing
on the back end of a swiftly moving
train from the aforesaid vehicle The
robbers jumped off and leaped from
a bridge down thirty feet to the water
but Miss Holmes followed suit and
thought nothing of leaping about the
same distance from the jaws of the
raising bridge to the tracks below
She follows the robbers to the city
and a roof battle takes place, to the
keen delight of the audience. Miss
Holmes grapples with one of the thugs
and finally hurls him from the root
of the building to the street, about
10) feet below. The thug and his
death are lightly passed over and the
play goes back to a construction
camp where the story finds it's key
note.

Lancaster people were especially

Morse, son Of Mr.. and Mrs A. c
Morse, took the part of Dan McGrew
as a foil to Edmund Breese, the lead
The photoplay is a screen version OF
a somewhat celebrated poem bearing
the same title and, aside from the ex-
cellent mechanical work in putting
it on, was interesting from the local
viewpoint.
Will Morse is about 80 years old
and has appeared in various theatre
cal and moving picture productions
since he was 16 years old. He is
married and has two children.
The Morse family make their home
in New York City and Mrs. Morse
and the children have visited here
several different summers.

was very realistic, and as Dan Nc
