Getting On Air Route.

What do you say to the prospect Of
airships in regular transit between
New York and San Francisco within
three years and having Rock Island
as one of their stopping stations?
Next February the Aero Club of Amer
lea, working in conjunction with the
United States government, is TO hold
a meeting in New York for the pur-
pose of designating four air routes

head Of an aircraft company that he

/ the interest of his business to have a
station in the city where his plant is
located yet while he is attempting to
do something for himself he wants 10
/ help the city where he expects to
carry on his future operations. He
says air travel is no longer a dream
or an experiment; its dependability
and safety have been established. He
predicts that within a decade rail-
roads will be carrying heavier freight
only and. that the lighter commodi-
ties and passengers will be confined
to airships. He SCOTS at the thought
Of danger. Naturally there are those
who are yet timid about travelling
above the ground, but it is only &
question Of time until they will have
become reconciled to the new method
Of getting across the country There

Federal Control of Roads.

Tomorrow the railroads Of the Unit
ed States pass under the control OF
the federal government. with William
G, McAdoo as director general It
has been known for weeks. at least
since it was revealed that the war
board placed in charge Of the conduct
Of the railroads was not getting an
ticipated results. that some radical
move was contemplated by President
Wilson. He has not been impatient of
the efforts Of the war board, which is
composed OF practical raiiroaders. On
the contrary, the president takes oc-
casion TO highly compliment the mem
bers OF that body for what they have
accomplished towards increasing the
efficiency OF the transportation system
OF the nation to meet the requirements
OF the government in the war crisis.
when all other considerations must
he suhordinated. They did the best
they could in the circumstances. They
were necessarily handicapped at Ger
tain points The president long has
appreciated that they had reached the
end of their rope and that it would
take more potent instrument than a
board of railroad managers to whip
the lines into the shape that they must
assume II they are to be the aid of
the government that II is proposed
that they shall be II was found that
some railroads, in carrying out their
part. were making large sacrifices in
money. while others. performing the
functions assigned them, were rolling
up profits. 1t created a condition that
could not endure satisfactorily
We should make il a point not to
get confused over the presidents de-
parture. The government is not to
assume ownership OF the roads 1t
is merely TO operate them until the
restoration of peace. There is TO be
no disturbance Cf operating organiza-
tons Each Tine shall continue to do
business under the same management
as had charge before the intervention
Of the government In fact. so far as
surface conditions indicate there will
be no alteration in the conduct Of the
carriers. Al that is TO be done is 10
place one supreme boss at the helm.
His word is to be law. Ii he finds one
road not giving the cooperation that
is expected II il. he will apply the
remedy Immediately He will estab-
fish COORDINATION without delay. This
was sought, but IL was found phys
ically impossible under the direction
OF the war board The financial wor-
ny will be removed from the shoulders
OF the railroad managements. Stock
hclders will be guaranteed their divi-
dends by the government Where
equipment is needed, il will be had.
In fact. Il would seem as if the woes
of the railroad owners are ended. for
the time being al least They have
been pleading for months 10 be per-
uiitted to advance rates so that they
could set income sufficient to meet
their growing expenses. They even
asked loan Of 81. 600 900. 0O0 from the
government 10 keep their heads above
water They asked iuvslidation OF all
regulatory laws that they might be
able to obtain returns that would keep
them from financial COLLAPSE. Presi.

The Pangs of War.

Reading of the tragedy Of war does
not impress us as the word of mouth
version. The voice Of one who has
lost all the comrades Of his school
days has an appeal that makes it al
most impossible to stay the tear.
w. ]. Watson was visitor at The
Argus Office yesterday, having been
in Rock Island for brief Through
When he enlisted in the United States
navy last spring he was employed III
this city. He is native son Of Ire
land, coming TO America seven years
ago. About year ago now he went
back to ireland to see his parents.
While there he asked about Jim and
Bill and Tom and George with whom
he went 10 school He had scores OF
boy friends. AS their names were
called his mother explained what had
happened TO them All but two had
been killed in France. Watson, since
returning to America, has been in
formed by letter by his parents that
the two boy friends who were still

since fallen at the front.

dent Wilson has taken the position
that while the railroads doubtless
were entitled 10 some measure OF re-
lief, he questioned that they should
have all they had been asking. He
threw out the plan Of governmental
ownership, but this only tended 10
further cOmDiicate and confuse, for
the owners were almost panie-stricken
at the thought Of losing their hold on
their properties, even temporarily
Just why has never been revealed So
It Is not surprising that the owners
feel considerably relieved by the
abandonment of the ownership idea
and substitution Of the control pro
gram, to which those who have been
interviewed on the subject have ex-
pressed heartiest assent.
The public will be glad to know that
the problem has been settled. 1t ends
an agitation that was not helping the
nation in its war work. It stops all
strike talk It checks charges of ia,
voritism. 1t means that the railroads
are to be worked as a harmonious
unit. They will be made to deliver tC
the maximum limit. We know wher
! the government orders a change IL
train operation, even though il in
wolves personal inconvenience, there
| is warrant for It, and we will more
readily aCquiesce than if similar
move was made by the owners of tbs
road.
Another promise incident to govern
mental control that will be welcomed
by the rank and file of railroad work
ers Is that there is TO be reduction
of some of the large salaries nov
drawn by executives and a more
equitable wage adjustment among tht
ordinary workers.

The Hardness OF drinking WAFER,
Many of the popular ideas Of the
effect of drinking hard water are
founded upon pure speculation and
contrary to physiological fact. For
instance, there is the notion that the
lime salts in drinking water will cause
hardening of the arteries Of course
this idea is wrong, for there is more
lime in milk, meat, fruits and Vege-
tables than in drinking water even
Of great hardness.
Another notion is that the hardness
of drinking water is accountable for
kidney and bladder stone and even for
gall stone. Unfortunately for this
pretty theory. the chemical analysis
Of kidney and bladder stones demon
strates that magnesium and calcium
salts (Which usually cause the hard
ness Of drinking water) are not es-
sential factors. And further it is now
well known that gall stones are caused
by infection Of the gsli-sac by typhoid
baciIli, colon bacilli, and various
strains of strepticocci from such
familiar septic foci as neglected teeth,
diseased tonsils, chronic appendicitis,
and the like. Kidney and bladder
stone probably have a similar origin.
Perhaps the most popular of all de-
lusions regarding the effects of hard
water is the idea that it produces
goitre. This probably had its origin
in the custom of certain young men
in Switzerland and Fxance drinking
freely of the water from certain wells
with the hope Of developing a g0itre
and thereby escaping military service.
The truth is that goitre, like hard
/ ened arteries and kidney stones and
I gall stones, may prevail widely in
regions where only soft water is used.
and on the contrary these diseases
are not always prevalent in regions
I where the drinking water is very
hard There is a so-cailed goitre belt
/ extending from Western New York
out through the Great Lakes basin,
in which region goitre is said to pre-
vail more than in other parts of the
United States In Switzerland there
are communities in which the ma
iority OF the inhabitants have gotire.
One possible explanation for such
| goitre districts is the scarcity OF sea
fish in the diet Sea fish OF all kinds
! supply available iodine, which may be
a natural preventative Of goitre,
Water that is hard may be soflened
