Has Many Opportunities.

On the other hand, a man has any
number OF outlets. He can join the
army or navy corps, he may go into
the manufacturing end of the game,
or he may become an instructor in
one OF the aviation schools.
However, cheer up, ye sisters OF
the air with idle machines. Ruth
Law predicts that there will soon be
hundreds OF people flying from New
York to Chicago for business and
pleasure" There may yet be an aero
plane jitney service between the
two biggest cities OF the United
States, and perhaps II will be oper-
ated by women, too!
Ruth Law is one of the few women
who have clung to flying long enough
to gain success. The fact that she,
broke the worlds record for women
fliers and the American record for
cross-country flight at the psychology
cal moment when the eyes of Amer
lea are looking to the aeroplane as a
means OF coast defence proves her
luck, and the fact that she made her
record breaking flight in a type of
aeroplane now almost obsolete, equip
ped with a common stock motor,
proves her pluck. .

WOMEN Big HELP
IN AVIATION GAME
Have Played Important Part in
Development of Art of
Flying.
MANY 0ISP0RT IN AIR
Miss Laws Stunt Regarded as
Indication of Quality of
U. S. Planes.
MANY DISPORT IN AIR

Mans dream of conquering the air
is as old as mythology.
Woman's part in furthering the
winged victory is as old as the first
flying machine presented to the world
by Wilbur and Orville Wright in 1908
Though woman had not attempted to
fly in these days, there are at least
two records in the annals of aviation
where women have helped financially.
Miss Katherine Wright devoted her
salary as teacher of Latin and Greek
to the enterprise of her brothers, and
without her help they might have
been unable to continue their expen-
sive experiments until success came.
Mrs. Alexander Graham Bell gave
$4,000 for the purpose of establish
ing experimental. stations at the time
her husband, inventor of the tele-
phone, was interested In developing
kite balloons for army use.
Women Have Contributed.
Since war broke out in Europe
many women have contributed to
funds for aerial defense, and the list
of subscribers to the first Pan-Ameri-
can Aeronautics Exposition at Grand
Central Palace, February to 10, con-
tains the names of a number of So
ciety women of both local and national
prominence. Also a large number of
New York society women have already
purchased tickets in books Of twenty
five.
This means that women as well as
men no longer look upon the aero
plane as a dangerous toy, but are be-
ginning to see in II future twin sis
ter to the automobile. To be sure,
there are few women flying at pres
ent, but opportunities are few. Fly
ing is no longer a circus stunt, and
exhibitors are not paying exorbitant
prices for performers.
There Is little commercial outlet for
the aviatrix at the moment, so unless
she can afford to own and operate a
flying machine as she would own and
operate an automobile, purely for
sport, she generally finds herself with
a white elephant on her hands.
That is why so many women who
have learned to fly have dropped out
of the game. The time was not yet
ripe when they could afford to carry
overhead charges.

u. S. TO CENSOR
CABLE AND RADIO:
PRESS NOW FREE

The government has decided to
abandon any attempt to censor the
American press but will put into eff
feet Immediately a rigid cable and
radio censorship between the United
States and the out side world.
American newspapers have been
given a vote of confidence by the
leaders of the administration and will
be permitted to publish whatever
they wish about the preparations
for war and information from the
American troops abroad.
OF course the American press will
be admonished not to print troop
movements, names and clearness of
ships, and to refrain from mentioning
specific units sent to the front and
such other actual military informa-
tion as might give aid to the enemy.
The outgoing cable censorship will
be under the supervision of the navy
department with George Creel, chair
man of the committee of public infor-
nation, aiding in the advisory capa-
city. That censorship already is in
effect to Central and South America
and the forthcoming order will ex-
tend it to apply to the rest of the
world, allied countries included.
No mail censorship will be applied
at this time, the government having
decided that the mails are being we'll
taken care of already by British and
French authorities.
There will be no censorship on in
coming cable and radiograms, which
means that American newspapers will
get all the war news which British
and French censors permit to reach
the United States.

all the coal they can for winter use
now He suggests not only the i'm
mediate storage of coal, but that the
people also store a supply of wood,
as he thinks the state will enter the

PUBLIC ROBBED BY
FOOD GRAFTERS

A report on the food situation pre-
pared by Herbert Hoover. holding
that both the farmer and the consum-
ing public are suffering while the
food speculatiors make unearned
profits from the delay in enactment
of food control legislation, was given
out tonight at the White House.
Unless strong and efficient gov
ernment action is Immediately tax
en-, the farmers will face a slump in
wheat prices and consumers will be
caught in a situation even more ser
ious that that which already is re-
sulting. in actual undernourish-
ment' in the great consuming CEN
ters.
The spectators, it is declared,
is taking larger part of the prices
now paid by consumers.
I'VE are practically helpless to
safeguard either the farmer or the
consumer" concludes Mr. Hover,
until the pending legislation is
passed"
The report, in the form of a letter
to the president, was issued through
with the statement that publicity
was given it Sin order that the
country may know how serious and
far-reaching the consequences may
be, and to the farmers of the country
and to the consumers, of the present
delays in passing the pending food
legislation.
No comment by the president ac-
companied the report, although he
has more than once demonstrated
his impatience over the repeated de-
lays in congress which have kept
the entire food control program in
a state of uncertainty for weeks.

NATION IS GETTING UNDER WAY

In three months the United States
has authorized the expenditure of ST.
000,000,000. subscribed $3,000,000,
to a single bond issue and lent $4,000
10000 to its allies; registered near
ly 10, 100000 men of age for service;
gathered in volunteers for army and
navy; undertaken and carried into
effect the rigid and SEMITIC training
of 10000 for officers; transported an
army of 10000 or more, 5000 miles
and placed it in France without the
loss of a man; put great fleet in
active service; organized food and
fuel control, and practically formu
lated a bill to raise nearly $1,000
100000 in one year by taxation.
1t is quite true we were not ready
for war. 1t is quite true that with
out the service of the allies we might
evaheenoverh p:
have been overwhelmed by Germany
before we could get under way. But
it is little short of marvellous, never
theless, what we have accomplished.
The only action which the admin
istration requested of Congress and
was refused was the espionage bill.
So far the bill has not been neces-
sary. Not a secret has leaked out
which any bill could have prevented.

lnere is mucn local interest ana
speculation as to the number of men
who will be called for the first draft

called on to furnish 46 men and they
will be selected in order from the

official government estimate is that
one man in four will be exempt in

are no figures on which to base an
estimate of the number that will be
excused because they have depend

citizens, who for obvious reasons
will not allow their names nor the list
they prepared to be made public, re-
jected nearly 115 names before their
