AyiatOrs and Balloon Pilots.

The work of the aviator is well known,
and the marvellous results of these air
speeders; the work accomplished by them
as the eyes Of the army is published from
time to time in the dispatches from
abroad. The fastest machines attain a
speed of 140 miles per hour.
The observers in them locate the posi-
ton of the enemy's armies and guns and
protect cities and towns from attack, al
though at times the enemy flyers get by
the watchfulness of the allied air fleet
with disastrous results to humanity and
property.
All aviators and balloon pilots become
officers in the aviation section of the
Signal Officers Reserve Corps of the
Army Immediately upon graduating, be-
ing commissioned as first lieutenants with
base salary of $1,000 annually and adj
dtional compensation when in active
service at home and abroad.

Why Ships Float.

Steel ships differ from those Of wood
in that their hulls are made of steel
plates riveted together, instead Of the
old method Of using wooden planking'
They are enabled to float because, be-
ing hollow, they have what Is called
buoyancy. A steel ship displaces vol
ume of water equal in weight to Its
own. The principle of buoyancy may
be tested by floating an iron pail In o
bathtub full of water.

With Aching Heads

"They help me- so much and I find
relief as soon as I begin taking your
Foley Kidney Pills.. Mrs. Frank p.
Wood, Morrill,, Maine. r. F. D. No. 2.
Sometimes 1t seems as If you can't
stand the pain across your back. It
is just making your life miserable

Foley Kidney Pills, for they are
purely medicinal and contain no
harmful drugs.

Each Town Should Take Care of
It's UndeSirables.

Two undesirable characters were
told by the local authorities in Rut-
land recently to move out of town
or they would be arrested. What
a lack of backbone the Rutland Off
GERS shw in disposing of law break
ers. Such disposition of cases should
be prohibited. Rutland should take
care of it's undesirable citizens
rather than throw them on to some
other community. 1t is like throw

your cowardice. burlington Clipper

Air Service in War.

Time has fully demonstrated the value
of the air service in war, and experts say
that many of the great decisive and eff
fective battles of the future will be fought
in the air.
This appears to be confirmed by the
activity of the Signal Corps and the pass
ing unanimously by the House and SEN
ate and the signing by the President with
out delay of the bill appropriatng siy
hundred and forty million dollars for

The Direct Primary Will Name
the Candidate.

The Morrisville News and Citizen
charges this paper with starting a
boom for Percival w. Clement for
governor, and winds up by saying it
is too early. Several other candi-
dates have their booms well under
way. There is no disposition on
the part of this paper to boom any
candidate for governor. All was
done was to make a simple state
ment Of fact. The trouble with the
Morrisville News and Citizen and
the other papers connected with the
Old Guard and State House Gang is
that they want to reserve the privi-
lege of doing all the booming them
selves. The direct primary, though,
will give the people a show at this
booming game.-Burlington Clipper

First Vermont Signaled Out.

Wasn't it rather an unusual thing
for General Edwards to single out
the First Vermont for a second pass
ing of the reviewing stand at double

viewed are called up to make an

may not be of much importance to
the layman but there is something
in it that stirs military curiosity and

We hear occasionally mention
made of the Estate house gang"
and the "old guard" especially
when a person is mentioned" as
candidate for governor. These
gangs" and guards" may at one
time have dominated politics in Ver-
mont but since the adoption of the
primary law their influence has been
growing less and less until it has
reached pretty near a zero mark.
There is rot much to the saying that
the people rule" when a few die
tate who shall be the party nominee.
The primary law endeavors to re-
move this privilege by placing the
selection of the candidates directly
before the people. There is likely
to be some shake-up politically next
election and we would not be at all
surprised to see Percival w. Glenn.
ent's name before the voters as 6
candidate for governor.

The state board of health is being
Upheld by a large majority Of Ver-
mont citizens in its effort to control
the spread of infantile paralysis.
Except for a few places the Chautau-
qua has failed to get local support
in its attempt to override the order
of the state board. In this attempt
the ChautauQua has received much
advertising decidedly against It
which is growing stronger as they
push their attempt to make local
guarantors Of their entertainment
make good the deficiency. They are
not good loosers. We do not believe
they should be held as privileged en-
tertainerS, nor given rights denied
others. There is a growing senti-
ment against local associations guar
anteeing their price, and it would
not be at all surprising if many
places refused this guarantee. Why
shouldn't they show on their own re-
sponsibility the same as circuses, etc. :?

the balloon schools, an applicant for Off
GERS commission must first qualify as a
pilot of spherical balloons. Then they
are taught to become pilots and observ-
ers in the kite" balloons.
This balloon is allowed to ascend to a
height of about 5000 feet with a wire
cable attached to it by which it is drawn
down when desired by motor power.
In war, these balloons are located from
three to five miles from the first line of
trenches, and from the basket two men, a
pilot and an observer, give the range and
result of firing by telephone to the artil-
lery.
On the western front they are placed
from one-half to mile apart, according
to conditions, and are provided with para
chutes attached to the men in the basket;
in event of accident to the balloon the
men parachute safely back to the earth
Qualifications for Officers Com
Men who have not been called for
physical examination under the draft
and who have had a college education
may make application for a commission
as first lieutenant in the Aviation Section
of the Signal Officers Reserve Corps as
aviators or balloon pilots, provided they
are not under 10 or over 80 years of age.
While college men are preferred. applica-
tons from those who have graduated
from high school and have exceptionally
good qualifications will be considered If
the application is approved, the applicant
will be notified to appear before a medical
board for examination. If this is salts
sactory, he is assigned to schools for
training.
While at the schools soldiers pay, ra-
tions, and sleeping accommodations are
allowed, the officers pay following gradu-
alton and assignment to duty as first
lieutenant.
Men having trade who cannot fill
the qualifications required for aviation or
balloon pilots, can enter the aviation SER
vice by enlistment.

The hand of German influence is
cropping out in the United States
and showing itself in those gangs of
lawless citizens who are defying the
draft law, but their career will be
short and bring only punishment
upon themselves and the slackers
they influence. Such kind of law
breaking is punishable by death and
your Uncle Samuel knows how to
administer this when it becomes ex-
pedient. German influenced insur-
rection will find the United States
government different proposition
to combat than Russia, and if they
carry it too far this country will be
too hot a place for them 70 remain.
We believe Congress will enact a
law drafting aliens into the federal
service, and we see no reason why
they should escape military service.
They come here, many of them, to
escape the despotic military service
of their own countries, and have
been enjoying the benefits of our
government and the blessings of
free citizenship. 1t is only just and
right that they should give to the
government that has granted these
rights the same service as bonafde
citizens. If they do not wish to thus
support the government, they should
be made to return to their own
countries. It's pretty cheap
kind of an alien who will seek to
evade his just share in the support
of a government that has given him
all these privileges and made him
free man.
