BEE AND Alb SUPREMACY.

The common honey bee may aid In
giving America full air supremacy,
Orville Wright, so we are informed by
newspaper reports. has been studying
the honey bees flying system and his
flying paraphernalia, says Peoria Jour
nal. Wright had previously studied
birds and bats in order TO help him
work out some satisfactory system of
air navigation and now, If the stories
are to be believed, the bee is under his
microscope. Wright might have picked
out the butterfly. the moth, the house
fly or the gnat as a flying model. He
might have selected some bird. as did
the French airplane developers. He
might have chosen the hawk, as did
some of the German airplane students.
But he selected the bee. And as lie IS
working OF war models perhaps he did
a wise thing-because the bee is not
only a producer, a good flier, a com
mon sense being, an antifuSs creature
and a quiet brute, but he has one of
the best fighting weapons known. May
Orville Wright produce airplanes that
will swarm like bees, fly like bees,
tumble like bees, tumble owe In the
air without falling-like bees. and that
will have a practical business end for
fighting. Behold the bee! He may
help us win the war.

What should America bring to the
war as it's most vital contribution to
the great cause? A correspondent of
Golfers on the battle line reports
the conclusions of a dozen French Of
fcers of high rank. 1.-THE conclusions"
he says, ARE important because they
are shared by the commander in chief
of the French army" They are: IF
America will build for her OWE use
and the use of her allies 10000 cannon
six and nine-inch-and will put into
the air 10000 housekeeping airplanes
land keep these numbers good, then
and at a very trifling loss of allied lives,
can the road be opened to Berlin-and
beyond"

1t is not an avenging angel, called
Death, that kills us. We kill each 9TH
er by our clumsy, bad intelligence, by
our ignorance, and by lack of human
sympathy one with another. And so
it has gone on through all the ages,
and the only thing that can put the
world right will be hat sense of broth
erliness between nations. and between
each of us in small communities, I'M
der which we each of us try to under
stand the other mans point Of view,
and act with perfect justice.

Traumatic Shock, Harvard
Medical Expert Finds Far.
Most Deadly in Trenches

Men rarely die Of shell shock but
they have been dying at the rate Of
10000 a year in the English and
French armies alone as q result Of a
far more deadly form Of shock-trau.
matte shock, says the Atlantic
Monthly. In fact, the latter Is usu-
ally fatal when skilled assistance is
not at hand. DR.. William Il. Porter
Of the Harvard medical school has
been sent into the front line trenches
in France to study this strange enemy
In action. Traumatic shock, he found,
usually follows a serious fracture Of
a major bone like the hip bone or
multiple wounds through the sub-cu-
taneouS fat layer.
By experimenting with injecting
olive oil into the veins Of q cat DIR.
Porter developed symptoms identical
with those appearing In cases of
traumatic shock, confirming his belief
that fatty globules are released into
the veins by certain wounds and these
gradually clog up the hairlike capil-
laries Of the brain until circulation
ceases. Then began an interesting Sc
ries of experiments in the front liffe
trenches In which DR.. Porter tried the
experiment Of giving carbon dioxide
to freshly wounded men to prevent
shock. The poilus were delighted
with his tests and crowded around
eagerly to watch the operation.
All Of these details, together with
many keen and humorous reactions
Cf trained observer in the war zone,
are set down In DR.. Porter's recently
published little book, "Shock at the
Front" In fact, one we'll known
critic insists that the book, far from
being a mere medical treatise, is
rather "a glimpse of the war done In
sharp stroke by physician who has
as pretty technic with the pen as
with the scalpel."
