BOYS MAKE BEST AIR PILOTS
More Likely to Possess Dashtng and
Intrepid Qualities That Make
Ideal Aviatcrs.

War aviation. with it's exceptional
dangers and its demands for supreme
courage is peculiarly service for
volunteers. Bur it has been demon
strated. says ST. Nicholas Magazine,
that the younger the war pilot the
more likely is he to possess those
dashng and intrepid qualities that
make the ideal air fighter. Con~e-
quenr!y, the governments is opening
wide the duoE Of the aviation service
for volunteers under twenty-one. the
cOuscription age. The army is already
giving officers commissions to young
men nineteen years of age. while the
navy has reduced it's limit to eighteen
years. Only commissioned officers are
airpIanes, so all our hlers will get
commissions.
Boys considerably younger than
eighteen can be thinking now of be-
coming war pilots. with reasonable
expectations of seeing actual service.
As long as the war goes on. the air
craft program will keep growing, since
only the declaration Of peace will jus
rify a lessening of our effort.
First. let us see the qualifications
Of those suited 10 war aviation. The
athletic type Of boy is preferred. To
have been member of team is
usually a good indication of pluck and
persistence. 4 sound physique, and
good vision and hearing, are absolute
Iy necessary. The ideal airman has a
cool head he is able to act quickly in
emergencies. It is important, TOO, that
the war pilot be an accurate observer
and equally important that he possess
the ability To form correct judgments.

PAYS TRIBUTE TO PATRIOTISM.
Secretary Lane Inspired by Loyal
Spirit of Utahns.

SPlrIS OF OIannS.
Salt Lake City.-After witnessing a
splendid parade here in celebration of
Utah's patriotic day and giving impe-
tus to the drive for subscriptions TO
the second Liberty loan, Franklin X.
Lane, secretary of the interior of the
United States, paid high tribute TO
the patriotism and true American Spir-
it of Utah and her people in Il stirring
address before an audience of 10000
persons that packed the historic Nor
mon tabernacle 10 its doors. Secre-
Jary Lane said:
Il have seen inspiring sights before,
but never before has one so touched
my heart as did your magnificent mil
itary parade which l witnessed on the
streets Of Salt Lake. On. how I wish
President Wilson himself could have
seen it.
The one thing that struck me most
fOrcibly in your parade was how your
boys represented the true spirit of
America in the fact that the Million
aires son marched side by side with
the son of the farmer, all for the one
cause of liberty and right. Such is
the spirit of America which, if it can
be extended throughout the world
will make such calamities as this
war impossible in the future.
I'VE saw the streets of Salt Lake
lined with the men and women who
are giving their sons in response to
the call of war and 1 saw no tears,
only smiles, on the faces of those who
are making the greatest sacrifice that
can be made and making it gladly for
the sake of liberty"
