Army and Navy Aviation
Corps Should Be Increased

Each day seems to bring more clearly TO
the American people the need of the av1a-
ton corps of the American army and navy
and its tremendous possibilities IN time OF
war; In the unpleasantness at Vera Cruz
the sensational fight of Jack Towers, well
known in Pensacola, was more than SEN
sational feat which made good newspaper
copy, but fully demonstrated the great
value of the aeroplane in time of war.
The Times-U Union very accurately states
the case when it says, in recent issue:
If we are ever to have any use tor
military aviators, we have it in this
case. Without them the American
troops will be laundering in the dark
and will have to keep together or be
crushed in detail y
One aeroplane sent into Mexico
with the five thousand troops assigned
to the task of capturing Villa would
be worth more than ten thousand
troops sent without aeroplanes. 1t
would also make it possible to bring
matters to conclusion quickly instead
of prolonging the incursion until it be-
came an invasion.
The task of capturing Villa will in all
probability prove far from simple, as the
Tlmes-Unlon points out. 1t is IN keeping
this country posted on the movements in
Mexico that the aviation corps of the
United States will do its most effective SER
vice.
Captain Bristol advises mobile fleet of
eighty-two aeroplanes, five dirigibles and
forty-one balloons, and believes that these
should be provided for at cost of $13, $780,
600, with a personnel of 430 officers and $50
men, to meet present requirements, to be
ultimately increased to 638 officers and
1000 men. This, it must be remembered
was several weeks ago. At that time it Is
hardly probable that Captain Bristol con-
templated an invasion of Mexico, or the
need for aeroplane service at this time The
imperative need of an aerial navy now,
should spur this government to immediate
steps towards perfecting the aviation SER
vice of the army, and making its strength
commensurate with its Importance

Here's How the Government
Handles a Strike

Uncle Sam is up against his first strike
But, strangely enough, unlike big private
corporation, there has been no violence, no
ordering out the troops, no refusal to rec
ognize the union, and no attempt to import
strikebreakers.
The strike occurred on the new govern
ment railroad in Alaska, at Anchorage. One
day recently Secretary Lane received de-
layed cablegram from Alaska notifying him
that the common laborers on the govern
ment road had formed a union, demanding
an increase in pay, and had struck. The
men were receiving 37Lz cents an hour for
an eight-hour day. They demanded 30
cents an hour for the eight-hour day. There
are about 800 laborers at Anchorage wait
ing for the spring opening up of work.
About 100 were at work on such jobs as
could be done during the winter. These
were the men who struck.
Immediately on receipt of the message
Secretary Lane got into communication
with Secretary of Labor w B. Wilson who
appointed a commission of Cancellation to
go to Alaska, investigate conditions and
recommend an adjustment The men were
perfectly satisfied with this arrangement
and have returned to work, pending the
adjustment, and with the understanding
that if the commission finds they are en-
titled to more wages, the increase will date
from the time of the strike. The commits
sion consists of John A. Moffitt of New Jer-
sey, and Hywel Davies of Kentucky, Off
cial conciliators of the department of
labor, and B, M Squires as statstician

Good Roads Movement In
Florida Attracting Attention

AS the Manufacturers Record pointed
out in its last issue, Florida is literally
afre for good roads" The Record COM
menting on the fact that the Washington
and Richmond papers have been bemoan-
ing the impossible condition of parts of
the roads between these two cities, declares
it to be pity that the county officials and
taxpayers in that section, as we'll as in
many other places, cannot be sent down to
Florida to study the state.
Governor Trammell has designated
Thursday, March %, as State Good Roads
Day, and suggests that the day be observed
II appropriate manner in all parts of Flor
ida.
The Good Roads association will hold its
annual meeting in St. Augustine March
1924 following the meeting of the Central
Highway association in Ocala March %,
and it is planned to make these meetings an
occasion for stimulating the interest for
good roads throughout the state, and cele-
brating the progress already made in good
road construction.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

There is an old saying that Mature
cures, the doctor takes the fee" but
as everyone knows you can help ma
ture very much and thereby enable
it to effect a cure in much less time
than is usually required. This is par
tieularly true of colds. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy relieves the lungs,
liquifies the tough mucous and aids
in its expectoration, arlays the cough
and aids nature in restoring the sys-
tenn to a healthy condition. 1t is
pleasant to take ana harmless as it
contains no narcotic Ohtainable

TERSE COMMENT ON
VARIOUS SUBJECTS

Inspiring Reading
1t has been something like six
months since the beginning of the
federal investigation into the high
cost of gasoline. In the meantime it
is inspiring to read such paragraphs
as this, from the Tampa Citizen; "The
oil wells of this country yield about
225 100000 gallons of raw product a
year. The value of this raw material
IS about 60,000,0 900. On his oil bust
ness alone last year Jawndee the lib
.eral giver Melted more'n $40,000,0 900
as profit. He owns about one-fourth
of our oil fields. What causes us to
sit up and figure is this: Why has
the price of the refined product gone
skyhigh at a time when there is no
decrease in the supply or increase in
the cost of production? And If
Jawndee's profits were forty millions
at the lower price last year, what will
they be at the higher price this year ?

the custom each year

and splendid examples
Everyone who can do So should make an
effort to be present today at the DeFuniak

bore the burdens of the civil strife, and the
greater burden of reconstruction
In accordance with resolution unani-

Office and makes promises there are
many persons who say 'if he gets
elected he will forget to keep them"
but as one Of our city commissioners

Perhaps many of your readers re-
member that one candidate, who was

and as his own business went bank
rupt. The summary of the auditors

many of US to believe he has nearly

Press Poll Shows Strong Sentiment
For Increased Army and Navy

to very great degree public sentiment,
and in the recent poll conducted by the Lit
erary Digest on the size of the army and
navy, the response of the press did more
than answer the question as to its own
standing on this question, but went far to
show the attitude of the entire nation
The press voted for an average regular
army of 285,078, and for reserve of /, 215,-

a navy second only to Great Britain's and
