AIRPLANE PROGRESS.

Accustomed as we are to marvel at the
aerial exploits of Europe, it is pleasant for
us to know that progress, though less spec
tacular, has been none the less certain in
this country, and that American airplanes,
type for type, are equal to the best Euro
pean products while American fighting
machines are considerably safer than the
European.
Such are the conclusions reached in re-
port giving the results of an investigation
on aeronautics in line with our aerial de
tense plan, fuller details of which for obvi-
Gus reasons, cannot be made public.
Statements made recently to the effect
that American fighting airplanes do not
have the speed and climbing ability of for
eign fighting machines" says the report
are based upon the fact that in America
we demand a factor safety of six, whereas
foreign machines only have a factor oil
safety of three
Anything that increases the safety in
creases effectiveness, and important, too, i:
the ability of American fighting machine:
to land at sixty miles an hour, whereas for
eign countries accept machines that land a
a hundred-mile speed.

THE HORSES LAST PLEA.

Pm only a cavalry charger,
And Pm dying as fast as | can
Cor my body is riddled with bullets
They've potted both me and my

And though I've no words to express

I'm trying this message to tell
To kind folks who work for the Red
Oh, please help the horses as well {!
My master was one in a thousand,
And loved him with all this poor
heart
(For horses are built just like hu-
mans,
Be kind to them-they'l do their
part);
So splease send out help for our
wounded,
And give US word in your prayers,
This isn't so strange as you'd fancy
The Russians do it in theirs.
I'm only cavalry charger,
And my eyes are becoming quite
dim,

THE SCRATCH PAD
By THOMAS EWING DARNEY.

America is busy nowadays raising
flags, wages and potatoes.
The greatest battle" Of the war is
again being fought.
The modern girl is not content with
being the apple of mans eye. She
wants to be his potato.
When man narries a girl he
thinks he's captain, but he is only
first mate.
Although they don't seem to be
using their tanks, the allies aren't
having a bit of trouble soaking Kai-
ser Bill.
No, Imogen, the shipping censor

bar after hours.
If Kaiser Bill hadn't made God Sec
ondary in the celebrated firm. I'll the
world would not be against Ger
many.
While the German people are driv-
ing nails in Hindenburg's statue at
home, the allies are driving holes in
his line in front.
There are nine Smiths in the ma
tional congress, and no court would
convict US of libel when we remarB
that the output of squirrel food is
easily equal to the chestnut tree OF
Longfellow's poem.
With Old Glory flying from the
American airpianes on the Western
battle field, we are really in the wal
and don't have to get excited about
visionary torpedoes and mythical
cannonading on the Atlantic coast.

NEGROES PLEDGE LOYALTY.

But for the remarkable blunders in
diplomacy and interpreting public senti-
ment that have characterized Germany's
hideous course since she provoked the world
war, the attempt to ncite the American
negroes against this country, would be too
chmerical for belief
Even now, with so many instances of
war, the attempt to incite the American
general staff could have made such an
absurd mistake.
As DR.. Frissel, of Hampton Institutesre-
Gently said: ''The negro has always been
loyal Similar expressions have come
from practically every leader of the race.

States Gin any way the government may
see fit, whether in army or navy, factory
or field, or in guarding Our home town of

people here Wednesday night branded as
futile any attempt to incite racial an

And so it goes all over the south Not
only is the negro expressing its loyalty, but
the white man takes it for granted

TO ENCOURAGE ENLIsTING.

AS the United States is raising an army
of million men, or one to each hundred OF
gross population, Pensacola's quota IS be-
tween 800 and $50 men There are good
many times that number of eliglbles here
in the class that has been called, but where
are they hiding themselves that they do
not offer themselves for the militia, the
navy or the regular army?
If our young men themselves do not real
ize the peril of this country, the older men
veterans who know what unprepared-
ness means-students of events who real
ize the future-should undertake their en-
lightenment.
Employers who have promised to keep
open Jobs for those who volunteer should
declare that on no condition will they re-
employ conscripts. Further to help the
cause, they might also announce a policy
to favor the volunteers for promotion as
far as possible when they come marching
back

THEY SHOW THEIR PATRIOTISM

Because there are only limited number
of positions available and they already
filled, the enlistment of women in the yeo-
many department of the eighth naval
district is closed This district comprises
the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala
bana, Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma, New
Mexico and West Florida
How other places are affected we have
not the means of knowing, doubtless not
much more than Pensacoa, where response
has been practically nil
Though southern women are more and
more entering business, the south is still
a long ways from the acute competition Of
the north, and only percentage of our
women are yet required to work-a fact
which, like everything else, has its disad-
vantages as we'll as its advantages
To no lack of patriotism, therefore, can
the scanty enlistment response of the ladies
of Dixie be ascribed; their loyalty and
their appreciation of duty is amply proved
BY their organization in other lines of work
for the government.

Kidney. e Co.
(BY DIR. v. N. PIERCE)

The kidneys and the skin work in har-
mony. They're companions, the skin
being the second partner. If we are
anxious to keep well and preserve the
vitality of the Kidneys and, also, free the
bleed from :noxious elements, we must
pay special attention to a good action Of
the skin and to see that the kidneys are
flushed 80 as to eliminate the poisons
from the blood. The pores Of the skin
canlb easily clogged, and frequent baths
with soap and water help to remove the
injurious products that clog the pores.
Sweating, by hard work or in a bath,
at least once a week, helps to keep the
akin. and Kidneys in good condition. Flush
the kidneys by drinking plenty of pure
water with meals and between meals.
Occasionally obtain at the nearest drug
store Anufic, which will help flush the
ikidneys and the intestines. You will find
that Anuric is thirty-seven times more
active than lithia and that it dissolves uric
acid sas.hot water does sugar.

Building Is to Be Properly
Constructed.

The house that has not integrity,
that has not staunch, honest charac-
ter from basement to roof-beams, Is
builded upon the sands and while It
may withstand the ordinary winds Of
heaven, it will not Withstand the
breath Of professional criticism, and.
in the end, may be almost as much
Of q burden and a loss to Its owner as
If. it had fallen before the storm, de-
clares an experienced builder.
The house that is to be built upon
the rock, that is to have integrity of
plan and material, must be well
planned. Back of the designer, the
architect, the builder and various con-
tractors must be mind capable OF
correlating all these functions into q
harmonious working force, driven to
a single end. If the owner be cap
able of this achievement so much the
better; if not, he should call upon one
who Is.
He lays the foundation upon sand
who does not take thought as to the
fitness of his architect, his builder and
all the functions of building opera
tion-to rear in wood and iron and
stone the dream that is his. An in
efficient architect, constituencies
builder, contractors working at cross
purposes with no direct hand-anyone
of these makes for disappOintments
in building.
The best assurance Of the integrity
of building is the union Of the ideals
Of the owner and the builder. A house
has an inalienable right to be well
built. It's construction is task that
should be approached with a sort OF
reverent enthusiasm. The owner who
realizes this fact, and the builder who
insists upon it as due to his reputa-
ton, will produce structure that
neither winds Of heaven nor breath
of criticism can shake upon its foun-
dations.
