Airplane Reservation in Every Large
City One Of Needs Of the Near Future
By LIEUT.. COL. GEORGE o. SQUIER
Head Of Aviation Section, United States Army

In my judgment, there ought to be a movement set on foot, and
there will be, both by the states and by the federal government and by
societies, to make aeronautical grounds a part of our larger municipalities.
We need reservations, we need a chain of them around the whole United
States, so that we can fly from the one to the other and circuit this coun-
try. We want them in the interior, too.
If we are laying a city out anew now, it would be wise to provide
plenty Of space for arplanes. In other words, [ think that we must begin
to think of our interior cities, as airport towns, with perhaps a board Of
dock commissioners OF something of that kind, where ships of the air
can be brought in and docked or berthed, because airplanes are going to
arrive and depart in great numbers, to a certainty, and we must have
room for them.
In any case we must have these reservations, and it occurs to me
that since we have the Lincoln highway laid out for automobiles, why
couldn't we go along that same route and have reserved landings with
gasoline and mechanics and "frst aid" in each of these reservations, so
that one a n start across the continent and have a Lincoln airway over
the Lincoln highway?
I do not zee why this is not possible. If that could be brought about,
we could practice with the army flyers.

THE RIGHT MAN IN
THE RIGHT JOB.

In the April American Magazine is
an article entitled "Are You a Square
Peg in a Round Hole?" by Herman
Schneider. Dean of the School of En-
g~ineering of the University of Cincin-
natl. Dean Schneider has devoted his
life to making successes out of failures
and to finding the right job for the
right man. He believes that failure
is seldom more than an indication of
the right path to success. Among
other things he says:
every individual has certain gen
eral traits; every kind of work has
certain general characteristics. The
problem is to interpret the traits of
the individual, classify the character
istics of the job, and then guide the
individual into the job for which he is
supremacy fitted. This is one real
employment problem.
"There are very many human char
acteristics, but there are a few broad
and general ones which frequently
make for success or failure.
"There is a type of a man who
wants to get on the same car every
morning, to get off at the same corner,
70 to the same shop. ring up at the
same clock, stow his lunch in the same
locker, go to the same machine and do
the same class of work day after day.
Another type of man would go crazy
under this routine: he wants to move
about, meet new people, see and do
things. The first is settled; the sec
ond is rowing. The first might make
a good man for a shop manufacturing
a standard product; the second might
make a good railroad man or a good
outdoor carpenter"

WOOTTON AND ZIPPLER
ARE SOME WRESTLERS.

Personalities first wrestling match,
staged at Hubin's Theatre under the
auspices of the P. A. & M. A. last Sat
urday evening, attracted an audience
which completely filled the building,
many of the spectators being of the
fair sex. Local interest centered in
the two local boys who participated
in the contests. Tom Wootton was
winner of the match under the two
falls as advertised, but his opponent
was the winner under amateur rulings.
Stanley Zippler and Bender failed to
register a fall in two long periods,
and Referee Irslinger announced an
additional round. The Referee then
decided for Zippler by forfeit, Bender
failing to present himself on the mat.

LEADERS PICK JOHNSON AND
ABBOTT FOR CANDIDATES

The republican county leaders have
announced that they will support for
mel Sheriff Smith E. Johnson for the
nomination for Sheriff and Albert C.
Abbott, ESQ.,, for Surrogate, in the
September primaries. 1t is expected
that the nomination will be merely a
formal affair. 1t is to assure this and
to avoid the expenditure of energy at
the primaries that the leaders have
thus early announced their selection
of candidates and their intention of
supporting them to a finish. The real
fight, therefore, will be at the general
election in November, and the outcome
is assured

HOW TO FLY THE FLAG.

Many patriotic citizens of Pleasant
vile are now daily flying the Ameri-
a flag from their places of bust
ness and residences. In order that
u people may more generally know
the rules for flying the stars and
stripes, they are here presented:
The proper time for raising the
flag is sunrise or after, never before.
The flag must be lowered at sunset.
In draping the flag against the side
of a room or building the proper posi-
ton for the blue field is toward the
north or toward the east.
1t is a mark of disrespect to allow
the flag to fly throughout the night.

Public Service Aids Responsible to
People in Same Measure as Employers
BY THEODORE F. SHONTS
President marlborough Rapid Transit Company of New York

The pubicservice corporation has a moral, legal <Mmamm
and financial responsibility to the community, while
the workingman of that corporation at present has no GA
enforceable responsibility to the community of any rs
kind. Have we not come to a time when it is neces-
sary to make the employees of a publicseryice corpo-
ration responsible to the public, just as W make those
responsible who invest their money in any public ~
service undertaking?
No man is compelled to invest his money in a M
railroad or an electrclght company; but the public IAW~ZwW@
says to him, once he has so invested, he must allow the conduct of hi
investment to be regulated in the public interest.
So NJ one is compelled to accept employment with a pubic@rvic
corporation, but if a person does enter the employ of such an institution
ought not the public to say to him: "You cannot join with your fellow
workmen In interrupting the public service. The old way of fighting il
cut cannot, in the interest of the public, be permitted. You have entered
upon the public service with a responsibility that you must recognize
There may be more than one way for the public to provide for
settlement Of differences. The one most discussed is arbitration by impair
tml tribunal, working in the interest of the public.
Unionism cannot thrive merely for its own ends. If unionsm is t
succeed, it must do so by promoting the prosperity not only of the men
but of the companies for and with which the mel work. The laboring
men of this country will not permanently advance their own interests
if they enforce in our domestic development demands so great that capital
cannot be obtained for our normal expansion.

sons why many OF these lucky people

Director Henry Z. Litchford. In

cents cannot be saved every few days,

Not only does the owner of war
