There is no branch of the service in which a mans intelligence initiative and technicaI skill count fol more.
 The Signal Corps of the American Army includes the aviation section which has grown to be of such vital importance. The best-known types ot airplanes are the scouting machines which go out to get information by flying over the enemy's lines; the bombing machine, which goes, out tc do as much damage as possible to the enemys military works: and the swift fighting machine, which attacks enc my airplanes and protects the slower scouting and bombing machines. The work is dangerous, but partly for this reason is especially attractive to mer of high intelligence and daring.
