The Non Partisan govern
ment of North Dakota is at
tempting to make the state
as ''blue law" as the olden
day New England. Selling
papers on Sunday is taboo
and so is the dispensing of
tobacco and cigars. A bill to
prohibit Sunday baseball was
killed after a hard fight. No
pool games are allo wed and if
you want to play rummy or
solo you'll have to repair to
someone's cellar. One of the
papers in that state says there
is nothing to do on Sunday
now but read the Old Tesla
ment and smoke cornsilk.

AEROPLANES QUICKEST
SUBMARINE ANTlDOTE


Washington.-Rea Admiral Peary,
chairman of the National Aerial Coast
Patrol Commission, when the break
with Germany came emphasized the
bearing of the critical international
situation on the necessity for an ade-
quate aeroplane coast patrol.
"If congress- he went ON, should
order the immediate mobilization OF all
air men In the country and the training
of 5000 aviators, should enlist the vari-
Gus aerial organizations and interests
Of the country in registering applicants
and should make mandatory the train
ing of $500 aviators in six months and
OF the entire 5000 In year 1t would
go far toward remedying a present de-
feet in our defense which presents pos
sibilitles Of the gravest danger.
The aeroplane will be the quickest
and cheapest antidote for the subma-
rine. Its speed and range of vision are
three times that OF the fastest destroy
ers. 1t can detect and follow a subma-
rine that is entirely invisible to any
surface craft. 1t can destroy the sub
marine when it comes near the surface.
One thousand hydroaeroplanes along
our Atlantic coast will double the eff
cheney of our destroyers and mosquito
fleet and increase the value Of our coast
