WorId-Command Of Air Means Best
Defense Yet Found Against Subma-
rines-united States Has Big Chance
to Win War.
Washington. - Aeroplanes are the
the guns cannot see where to fire. the
soldiers where to go. Without aero
planes the enemies forces and the dis
tribution thereof, their reserves and
their supplies, their lines of communi-
cation and their railroads are alike
unknown. Consequently. without aero
planes our troops will fight In dark
ness, as blind men would fight. They
will be killed In darkness, as blind men
would be killed. says Porter Emerson
Browne of the rigilantes.
1t Is no more fair to ask soldiers to
go out and fight without aeroplanes
than It would be to send them out
without guns, or ammunition, or food.
or shoes, or hospitals. or surgeons
Aeroplanes have become perhaps the
most important part of the equipment
Of an army today. This France and
England and Germany alike have rec
ognizcd. II the United States should
fail to recognize this, it will pay dear
ly In men. in blood and in defeat for
its ignorance and its obstinacy.
And this is not all AS aeroplanes
are the eyes of an army, so are they
becoming. with every tick of the clock,
to mean more.
England may still control the seas.
But for this control Germany is max
ing her and all her allies pay bitter
price Like 1t or like it not. we must
admit that so far the German subma-
rine in its sphere is supreme. Checked
it can be. but 1t cannot as yet be
scotched.
On land armies can be locked for
months. even for years. A stunning
prcponderance of heavy artillery may
mean mile or so advance. But every
mile of such advance means months of
preparation and the careful boarding
of munitions.
On one frontier. and one frontier
alone. Is Germany unprotected, open
and vulnerable. That Is the air.
And it is to this frontier that the
United States, struggling into war I'M
ready and uneQuipped. should turn its
face.
For. as scouting aeroplanes have be-
come the eyes of an army, so have
bombing and machine gun planes
grown to lie the weapons with which
it can reach foe protected by de-
lenses on land and sea. The air alone
is the unguarded element. And it will
not be unguarded long.
Soldiers and guns and supplies will
be long in reaching our allies. But
acroplanes and aviatOrs we can send
them. and swiftly. and Americans
make the best aviators in the world.
II is possible and more than posi-
BILE that victory on land and sea lies
with victory in the air. The command

WHAT is A NEWSPAPER

There is an insstent demand
throughout the state that a newspaper
should be fully defined and snce de.

conform to the defination.
For some time in Oklahoma. es.
pecially about the time that an elec.
tion is emminent, a fellow with a little
jerk water press and a hand full Of
type will locate in some county seat
and proceed TO get out a paper for free
distribution He never oyerlooks the
fact that he has the candidates at his
mercy, and bleeds them for every dol.
lar that he can extract from them
making them believe that he is going
to put out so many copies Of the sheet
daily.
II would seem that there are enough
new members IL the present legisla.
ture to do something with this matter
the old members never have. and
pass law defining a newspaper and
just wnat it should be to become
legitimate in community. Another
thing the present legislature should
do is to modify the liable laws Of the
state. The law in its present form is
the most drastic Of any state in the
union, and under its provisions there
is hardly an issue Of any paper that
could not be held accountable in some
particular The newspapers of the
state make the politicians, and the
newspapers are the very instruments
that have been handed the worst Of
it at the hands Of every legislature.

KNIFE On CORNS
CAUSES LQCKJAN|
Tells how to loosen tender corn
so il lifts out with.
out pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pcstorod with coms and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockiaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freczone. which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn, the soreness is relieved
and soon the entire corn, root and all
lifts out with the fingers.
1t is sticky substance which dries
the moment it is applied and is said to
simply shriyel the corn without in.
flaming or even irritating the sur.
rounding tissue or skin. It is claimed
that a quarter Of an ounce will cost
very little at any Of the drug stores
but is sufficient to rid ones feet Of
every hard or soft corn or calms.
You are further warned that cutting
at a corn is suicidal habit.

The Garden Of Allah.

In this day of second" third"

Garden of Allah, which opens at the
Palace theatre for Feb. IA, will take
highest rank as scenic production
forming background for the large
company of players, camels, horses,
donkeys, goats, pigeons, etc, for all
Of which it will require a special
train OF seven cars to transport from
city to city.
Ihe first curtain will go up on a
scene entitled, THE Spirit of the
Desert'-an early dawn scene on the
desert The cavaran of a sheik of
the desert is moving slowly across
the stage including Arabians, i'm.
ported especially for this play, five
camels, together with many horses.
shaggy donkeys and goats. As the
sun rises the sheik descends from
his camel and prays to Allah.
The second scene is of hotel
cerandah on the edge of the desert.
with large, real palm trees in the
foreground, The third scene is of a
street on Ouled Males. The fourth
is OF the interior of an Arabian shop.

dancers, incense, flute and drum
music, producing a rarely realistic at.

The garden of Count Anteoni, in the
second act, is one of the most beauti.

act occurs the famous sandstorm of
the desert, and, although being a
bleak, bare desert scene, it is surpris.

effects. The outside of a Trappist
monastry, near Tunis, furnishes the
scene for the last act, where even
doves can be heard cooling in the bel.
