40 TO 50 MEN REQUIRED
 FOR EACH AIRPLANE

In a statement issued by Howard E. Coffin, chairman of the Aircraft Pro- ductlon Board, is the following:
 'In discussing the accomplishments of the air service in the consumma- tiOn of the army program, it will be well to point out the impossibility of certain proposals. enthusiastically and consistently put forward by word of mouth and in the press. We have seen and head much of the proposal of 100000 airplanes to be provided by the United States within the next year. In a country where one great indus try produces 1,5OO,000 motor cars per year, the fabrication of 100000 planes might seem easy, but actual figures based upon three years of practical experience in the war show that there are now between 40 and 50 men of the auxiliary services required for each machine at the front. If this same ratio should be adhered to n our ser vice, it would mean that some 4,OO0,- 900 men would be required in our aero nautical department on foreign soil between our ports of debarkation and the fighting front.
 Even though this number of men could be reduced by 50 per cent by increased efficiency and standardiza- tion, the number required is still stag gering. Consider, also, the overseas transportation problem as related to material only and without reference to personnel and its maintenance. The transportation of finished planes, properly crated, with the necessary spares, accessories, and equipment is in itself a serious problem, in view of the situation in ship tonnage"

Wreck Near Union City.

The ~, C. & st. L. passenger train
running from Nashville to Hickman,
due at Union City at 7:45 p. m, was
wrecked at Gibbs, four miles east of
this city, about 1880 o'clock Friday
evening. Two coaches were derailed
and almort entirely demolished.
About fifteen persons were injured
in the wreck, the most painfully
hurt being Miss Mary Skeffington,
State librarian, who was en- route
from Nashville to her home in Dyers-
burg. Miss Skeffington sustained Sc
we're bruises about the head and
shoulders and her face was cut by
broken glass. While her hurts were
painful, it is not thought that they
are serious.
The scene of the wreck is at the
junction of the NJ, G. & st. L. and
the Illinois Central railroads. Miss
Skefington was placed on an Illinois
Central train and taken to Dyers-
burg.
DR.. w. M. Mailing, of this city,
dressed the wounds of those injured.
The cause of the wreck is not
known. The train was running slow
ly at the time, rounding a short
curve. The engine, tender and bag
gage car did not leave the track.
