washington, Feb. 22.-Developmenta
his demand for an immediate investi-
cation OF the aviation corps of the
United States army are sufficient to
indicate that congress will not submit
to a Whitewash of the signal corps
control of army aviation by any inves-
tigation. directed and managed by the
war department. The movement for
the congressional investigation is to be
pushed.
A, number of members Of congress in
both houses have been examining the
record of the aviation corps as con-
Quoted by the signal CORPS and are
far from satisfied. They have been i'm
pressed with the great number OF
casualties among army aviators and
astonished at the very limited number
OF machines operated by the army.
The death rate, considering the size of
the aviation corps, Is claimed to be
greater than that in any Of the flying
divisions engaged in the war in Eu-
rope. It is said that training has made
aviation in the big war safer than the
trenches.
Serbia 60, United States 23.
Even Serbia, before the outbreak OF
the war, had sixty aeroplanes, while
the United States had twenty three. A.
that time France had 1,400 aeroplanes
and % dirigibles and Germany had
1000 aeroplanes and 40 dirigibles. Even
Great Britain, which did not go into
the flying business on the same scale
as her neighbors. had 400 aeroplanes.
but no dirigibles. Russia had 500 aero
planes and Is dirigibles.
The Investigation committee, about
the appointment of which there is little
II any doubt, is expected to ascertain
why the army aviation corps has be-
come an object Of derision among
civilian aviators, why the navy has
shown such superior comprehension Of
aviation and its value, why the esti-
mates for flying machines handed in by
the army have been so small and the
results attained smaller, and why no
progress at all has been made in the
direction of dirigibles.
Aviation Work Discouraged.
Senator Robinson proposed to ascer-
tain why lately so few army officers
have volunteered for the aviation SER
vice. Also why 1t has been the prac
tice. when an ardent young officer has
developed some degree Of skill and at
tfacted some attention from the public,
he has xeceived peremptory orders to
quit the Aviation corps and report for
duty In some other field.
Moreover, he wants to know what
has become Of the device invented by
an army officer by which it was
claimed bombs can be aimed with
deadly precision when dropped from a
flying machine. The greatest handi-
cap the European aviators have had Is
their bad Workmanship in dropping
bombs. If the army has had access to
an invention to meet this defect and
has not made use Of it, the senator
believes the country and congress
ought to know It.

tobacco; in fact. smoke from the COM

GETTING DOWN

GE ING DOWN TO BRASS
Notwithstanding everything that
interests the child continues to alb
sorb the feminine intelligence.
WOmen's clubs all over the country
are at it. Books, movies, are, pic
ture puzzles and nursery wall paper
are scrutinized for details which
might corrupt childish innocence.
And all that much of this carefully
planned censoring does is to rob the
child of valuable mental pabUlUm. 1t
is often a mistake because mothers
find nothing but myths and fairy
tales with which to fill up too inquis-
tive brains.
1t fails because symbolism is not
what the child's mind Graves.
The child is reaching out after
facts and action from real life.
He takes things literally. He wants
realism. He wants to know which
is the safe and which is the sharp
end of a brass tack.
And the too careful mother, in
stead of introducing him to the tack
and letting the acquaintanceship pro-
coed on natural, if unpleasant, lines, |
puts the tack beyond his reach and
requires him to fix his attention on
the blue bird as the emblem of hui
man happiness, or teaches him to
dance like the sleepy poppy swaying
in the wind.
These substitutes have their aes-
thetic Mace in a child's bringing I'D.
but they are not at all valuable to
the child anxious to acquire absolute !

A MOUNTAIN FOR A MoNU-
MENT. - The earth is dotted with
many a marvellous monument and
tomb. The pyramids, the mausOleum
of Halicarnassus, the Tai Mahal, Ma
poleon's crypt and thin high shaft to
Washington are all beautiful, differ
ent types of the memorials man has
set up to the great dead.
Since the execution of Edith Ca
veil, the Red Cross nurse, who was
shot by German authority in Brus-
sells, Oct. II, 1915, many kinds of
monuments to her memory have
been suggested.
The Canadian government has
just decided that mountain would
be most fitting, and has renamed Mt.
Geikie, an 11,OOO-foOt peak. It will
hereafter be called Mt. CaveH.
AS her monument is unique, so was
the tragic incident of the death Of
Edith Cavell. 1t did not help or hin
der the ending of the war. But it
may be said to symbolic the most
modern feature of warfare, the psy-
chology of war
The IMPRESSION of the people,
the CONVICTIONS of the people,
the SATISFACTION of the people,
the national psychology, in short,
has come to be looked upon as a
most important factor in the winning
or losing Of war. In short, DEM
.OCRACY is Dushiug To the fI-ont
even in that most antique and aris-
tocratic of all social institutions, the
cult Of war.
