GOOD WORK.

The House of Representatives passed
the Aviation bill in four hours, and it was
passed by the Senate in one afternoon.
The bill was promptly sent to the Presi-
dent who signed it July oath. The bill
appropriates s64O,OOOOOO for aircraft
purposes. Howard Coffin, chairman of
aircraft production committee, is good
administrative officer and it is reasonably
certain that the work of making the
United States the greatest air power of
the world, will be pushed with great en-
ergy. Immediately after the passage of
the bill, Mr. Coffin issued a statement
which cannot fail to lead to the belief
that in his department there will be no
Stacking. In fact, Mr. Coffin has antici-
pated the passage of the bill by complet-
ing three out of the "a needed training
tlelds, and great preparatory progress has
been made in every other possible direc-
ton. Orders for training machines were
given weeks ago and first shipments of
planes have been made. Thousands of
avlators and Warplanes will be sent to
Europe during the winter and spring
our people are particularly interested in
war aviation because it not only appeals
to their imagination but because thew be-
lIeve it will be one of the great factors
which will bring victory to the allies.

KANuE tINUiNG IN THE AIR.
Artillery "spotters" Undergo an In.
tense Nervous Strain.

Artillery "Spotters" Undergo an In
tsnss Nervous Strain.
Artillery observation is one Of the
most important branches of air serv-
ice. So Indispensable is the airman in
connection with modern artillery that
a noted authority recently stated that
Il one side had airplanes while the
other had none the world war would
have been over in six months.
Pilots and observers work in con-
junction with battery. They arrange
beforehand with the general staff just
where that battery is to operate. If
they are ordered to seek out an enemy
battery that may be lodged at the end
Of wood or in some concealed posi-
ton the pilot maneuvers about under
the instructions Of the observer until
the battery is spotted, whereupon its
position is signaled back by means Of
a wireless set to the battery COM
mander.
After notifying the battery to open
fire the observer hangs over the posi-
ton at height of, say, 5000 feet, to
avoid the trajectory Of the shells pass
ing beneath his machine, and as the
shells burst near the position under
fire the observer notifies his battery
how short or how far ahead or row
much to either side the shells are fall
ing. The observer then orders the pi-
lot to proceed over the next position,
and the operation is repeated. When
the work Is completed the airmen are
ordered to return by means Of signals
in the form of canvas strips placed on
the ground.
All the while the observer is direct
ing artillery fire his machine is being
subjected to intense bombardment by
anti-aircraft guns, which are firing
shrapnel shells by the hundreds. Fly
ing fragments Of shrapnel are all about
the airmen-beneath them, all around
them and above them. For three hours
at times the airmen must endure this
intense bombardment, and there Is no
telling at what moment the tail Of the
machine or some other vital part may
be blown away or when the machine
may become wrapped in flames. The
work is most dangerous and nerve
racking, and most of the pilots stutter
after going through this ordeal. Some
have been known to be unable to
screw a nut OF 4 bolt, due to nervous
ailment.-Scientifc American.

GIVE US THE TRUTH,

In the ignoble art of elaboration"
Mr.. Creel is but a penny whistle, while
the war correspondents and space writer's
are full orchestra. The Journal is try
ing the best it can to get at the facts and
give them to its readers in a condensed
and readable form. Today we have read
IN one of the best selling newspapers a
statement that the German people were
almost entirely destitute of food and
clothing. On another page of the same
paper we read that Germany has plenty
of almost everything and is more than
likely to prolong the war for two or three
years. 1t seems to us that if nobody
knows the truth about conditions in Ger
many, it would be an excellent idea for
somebody to find out, and after the truth
is learned to tell us unreservedly.
The time has pretty nearly arrived when
plain statement about all war matters
will be demanded, Congress will have to
divorce itself from the grafters and leg
islate for the people, and the fellows who
draw from their imaginations the stuff
which sells the daily papers will lose
their lead pencils. 1t will not do to fool
the people too long, not in time of war.
Tell them the truth. They will brace up
to meet the situation whatever it is, but
it is not safe to keep the truth from them
TOO long.

A GOOD SETTLEMENT.

Gen. Goethals, manager of the ship
ping corporation, resigned and President
Wilson asked Mr.. Denman, chairman of
the corporation, to do likewise. This was
excellent advice and Mr.. Denman acted
upon it. The President could not accept
the resignation of the man who superin-
tended the building of the Panama Canal
and retain man clean and honest as he
is, who, so far as the public has been in
formed, never has displayed sufficient
constructive ability to white piece of
pine into proper shape to make stopper
for two gallon Jug. The President ex-
tracted himself from the dilemma very
neatly and from all accounts it appears
that he has made very suitable appoint
mentS to fill the vacant places on the
board Mr.. Edward N Hurley of Chi
cago, former chairman of the federal
trade commission, takes the place of Mr..
Denman. Mr. Hurley is an inventor and
an all-round business man, who has by his
energy and ability, risen from the ranks
to a high estate of success and useful
ness. Rear Admiral WashingtonL Caps,
chief constructor of the navy, will take
the place of Gen. Goethals. Admiral
Caps has made an extensive study of
ship construction and fully understands
the needs, both of the navy and the
ocean carrying trade.

USE FOUR HOUR HANDS.
Then Your Watch Will Keep Tab on
All Our Standard Times.

All Our STANDARD lines.
The average commercial traveller who
Journeys about the United States has
to keep close watch on his timepiece
to see that it is telling the truth. There
is an hours difference in time when
you enter and leave some cities, and
it's an important matter that you do
not forget to set your watch back or
forward an hour, according to which
way you are travelling. If you over
look it you may miss train.
An express official who travels al
most all the time and is so busy that
he sometimes forgets to change his
watch at Detroit, Mich, for instance.
or at Dodge City, Ia, has frequently
had an experience Of this kind. Some
times he has arrived an hour ahead
Of time or perhaps an hour after
train has left, giving him time enough
for reflection.
Recently he conceived the idea of
making his watch tell all four different
times-eastern, central, mountain and
Pacific He went to a jeweler and had
extra hour hands put on his timepiece.
each of a different color, so that he
can recognize it at glance on the face
of his watch For instance, the ordi
nary hour hand, set at eastern time,
is silver; a blue hand, set an hour
back, represents central time; red
hand, for mountain time, is set two
hours back, and a green hour hand,
three hours back, represents Pacific
time.
You can do this to your own watch
The jeweler will make set of hands
Of these colors and alter your watch

COCKTAILS READY FOR DUTY.

The possibility that Major General
Goethals may 60 to France to head the
American army engineers is foremost
among the developments which have fol-
lowed President Wilson's reorganization
of the shipping board.
There is nothing new in the generals
wish to take up active service at front; it
was foremost in his mind when the Presi-
dent called him back from the retired list
of the army to take up the shipbuilding
program. The general frequently has
expressed his wish to close friends and
even to officials of the war department.
AS retired officer he is subject to any
duty the President may assign him. The
probability that he would be assigned to
service at the front has been recognized
ever since it became apparent that he
would leave the fleet corporation.
