WHAT EDITORS SAY
False Economy.

Worse, il possible than extravaganza just at this time
would be false idea OF economy II the people become
historical over the matter OF conservation the very ends
aimed at will surely be defeated
We should bear in mind that provided our great waste
and extravaganza eliminated there will be plenty of
food in the county to supply the necessities of livery
person.
There is call and probably will no, be- for any
person to deny himself herself sufficient good noush
ing food On the contrary all should strive to keep them
selves up TO their best Eat plenty and the best you can
afford then you will be able to do your full share of work
that is before us
Napoleon wisely said that "an army travels on its
stomach and 1t is equally true that work on our om-
achs' hungry man woman is incompetent for any
task
And II will be easy for us to develop false economy
in other lines MiserlneSs and boarding of means would
be the most dangeys to business conditions Anything
that checks the normal volume OF exchange unSettes the
marke" and tends to promote psncS. Money becomes
c scarce and we at imagine that IL we turn loose
the dollar we will never another Millions of other
people imbibe the same idea You know the result
The sensible economy and the true patriotism !, for
each TO exert himself to keep the business OF the country

course business he kept healthy and on the up grade

front in France The vanguard of
tae new army of the air for which
Congress voted s640. 600 600 last sum
mer is about to join the forces of
land and sea in action against the
Germans
The navy has tripled in size since
the war began. and the army has null
tiplied itself by IS. These are rapid
increases But the first year plans
for the air service call for an increase
of more than hundredfold.
Last spring the aviation corps had
lie than 200 airplanes of all degrees
q serviceability. Now fleet of %
600 planes is being built. When war
began there were IS aviators. A force
o. 10000 aviators is being trained
The total personnel of the cid flying
corps. ground workers as well as
fliers. was 1000 The total personnel
of the new flying corps is 1905
Before any real fighting planes
could be turned out a new American
industry had to be created This is
the great task that has been quietly
accomplished in the last five months.
When the Aircraft Production Board
started its work only two companies
manufacturing airplanes were In OPP
GRAFTON in America, and the machines
they had been making for the allies
were of a type serviceable only for
practice flights.
The first move of the board was to
stop negotiations for the use of ex-
listing patents and To set men at work
designing new airplane engine
which should comprise as many of the
good points of the different patents
as those men cared to use In week
20 experts working together had
evolved the Liberty motor. which Sec
rotary Baker has called the greatest
achievement of the war so far.
The Liberty motor is model of
Standardization. 1t is built with four
cylinders or with eight or with twelve,
and the same parts are Interchange
able for all three of the different sizes
The greatest automobile factories in
the world have been provided with
the machinery necessary for turning
ont these motors-the factories that
have supplied the United States with
its 1000. 600 automobiles when all the
rest of the world gets along with only
zoe. 900
II has been necessary all along not
to interfere with the supply OF raw
materials. particularly spruce. and of
certain completed aeroplane parts to
the flying forces of our allies.
In return for these materials the
allies are giving us the rich benefit
of their experience. For months
young Americans have been in train
ing for our air corps on the flying
fields of England and France. On
dozen and more of new flying fields
in America veteran fiers from the
western front are helping in the pre-
liminary training of our new aviators.
AS to whether the war can be won
in the air there seem to be two opin-
ions. At any rate, the aviation sec
ton is not leaving any stones un-
turned.
