AID. BUCKS RECORD ON PUBLIC
SCHOOLS GETS 'ONCE-OVER
Aid. Thomas F. ByTne of city cOun-

a committee Of street car men from

the who and why and the ms and
outs of Aid. Bucks record. y Byrne
told them:
Il was on the subcommittee of
three that did most of the heavy
work for the council in the schools
situation. I can't recall a single
time that Aid. Buck or Aid. Kennedy
showed any signs Of quitting or
weakening on the job.
81 am convinced that the Illinois
Manufacturers assn as well as large
corporations, real estate and con-
tracing interests would like to see
Aids. Buck and Kennedy beaten at
the polls and removed from the city
council.
"The working people Of Chicago
can be thankful their side was taken
as it was. If lived in the 33d ward
and wanted to vote for the people,
for labor, for freedom and justice,
and a better Chicago, l would vote
for BUck."/

After his resignation he went into
the plumbing business.
Tommy, does it make any differ
ence with the street car companies
that you used to be a union MANI"
he was asked.
"a couple of times when I sent
men to Sup't Weatherwax asking for
jobs, Weatherwax told 'em there was
nothing doing and let me understand |
it was useless for me to ask the car
companies for anything"

WILL FIGHT ABOVE CLOUDS
Experts Believe Future Wars viii Be
Largely Decided by Conflicts
In the Air.

Control of the seas has been the
dominant factor in this war. Britain's
naval supremacy gives her a grip upon
the destinies of all nations. Claude
Graham-White and Harry Harper,
writing in the Fortnightly Review upon
1.-Two Years of Aerial War;" predict
tina in coming wars the control of the
air will be even more essential thar
control of the seas. In the push"
OF the allies on the western front the
superiority of their air reconnaissance
gives them great advantage. How
ever, it is the growing effectiveness of
the alrplane as a fighting machine,
carrying death and destruction to the
enemy, that is the most significant de-
velopment of the war. Messrs White
and Harper predict that in future wars
1t will be the great fighting a%irplanes,
the machines for destroying hostile
craft, or for laying waste land posi-
tons, which will be to the forefront"
the scouting airplane playing a minor
part in the general scheme.
In all defensive plans the United
States has placed great reliance on it's
isolation. Our isolation may always
have in it some measur of protection.
but our long coast line, facing two
oceans, makes us vulnerable as are few
nations. In the wars of the future the
attacks will be led by huge a~irplanes
having a speed Of 20 miles an hour or
more. Nations may go down to defeat
by aircraft attack which in q few hours
could hopelessly cripple the nation not
ready to defend itself in the air. 1t is
argued that Great Britain, if she is
TO maintain her empire, must match
by control of the air the control she
now has of the seas. But what of the
aerial defense of our own tremendous
coastline and our outlying possessions?
we gave birth to the first heavier |
than-air flying machine, and it is to
our everlasting discredit that as a ma
ton we have done so little to develop
1t, and that the airplane occupies so
small a place in plans for the nations
The peaceful possibilities of
the airplane have not begun to be
grasped by the average person. Glenn
l.. Martin, one of the pioneer aviators
and constructors of this country, says:
In developing flying we have outdone
birds, and this is only the begin
ming" Mr.. Martin is also authority
for the statement that there is no
means of transportation yet devised
hat will make go miles an hour as
'aTely as an airplane.-Cbarlton Bates
in Leslie's.

TIMBER MEN SHOW THEIR COLORS
Decide to Fly the American Flag at
Every Forest Patrol Headquarters

SPOKANE, March 20.-As their con-

Resolved, That the state of Idaho
and the forest protective organiza-
lions of the state, throughout their
cooperative systems which guard the
homes, industries and of
Idaho from destruction by forest fire,
their loyalty to government and
American institutions, and their de-
termination to protect these also by
every means at their disposal, by flying
the American flag over all h%eadquar-
ters and field stations"
The association comprises represent
atives of four timber protective societ-
es controlling 100000 acres of tim
including the largest stand of
pine in the world.

as Mr.. Rose said, IF we sing all the
time We won't have any time to talk.
First. Mr.. Stephens gave an interest
ing talk which might be termed an
introduction to Mr.. Roses talk on
Metal" He took up the various ways

the uses and the care of them. For
instance, the cleanliness, the target
and the aim. The talk made by Mr..
