Regular Reports Needed.

In the efforts to preserve secrecy
an extreme can be reached which Is
not to the national interest 1t would
be much more stimulating to have
monthly or weekly, if not a daily
record of airplane output. just as we
have on shipbuiIding. There is no
secret as to the number Of planes we
have authorized the various plants
to build, and it would be OF great
value to the country to know con-
stantly just what progress is being
made on those contracts.
II all the plants were exceeding
their schedules, II might be good
thing not TO give specific figures, bu:
this is not the case, and the best
news that the American people could
get would be to know how rapidly
the companies are turning out battle
planes.
II there was delay. public opinion
would demand an explanation.
One Of the chief reasons why we
have fallen down on our airplane pro-
gram is the suppression by persons
in authority OF facts to which the
American people have been and are
entitled, for il is their money which
is being given to promoters and pri-
vate enterprises on a cost plus profit
system.

EnqIand's Birds Are Hungry.

In the gardens where no bird-table
attracts its feathered pensioners the
silent absence of bird-life is almost
oppressive; but the birds did not de-
part before necessity compelled. Some
times grim fate stalked in the thin
shrubbery whence now and again the
household cat has emerged; but more
often your garden birds have migrated
afield because they had exhausted the
possibilities of their home. See down
the length of the garden wall a foot
wide space had been absolutely cleared
of dead leaves by blackbird and thrush,
who had tossed them to one side in
their search for wintering insect life.
Look closer and you will see that prob
ing bills have worked little crevice
all the way between the earth and the
wall. See, every square inch of uu-
covered frozen ground is dusty from
the innumerable pecks of hungry lit
tie beaks.-London Times.

AirpIane of the Future.

We have no logical ri::ht to think
that our flying machines of today are
more than. the crudest caricatureS of
the airplaneS of the future. says a
writer in the Scientific American. We
engineers are little apt to become so
engroSSed in our immediate difficulties
of design that we do not see further
ahead than is suggested by our own
ideas and make predictions for the
future that only follow along the lines
of progress that we can clearly see.
The writer has often been asked if
he thinks that flying will ever become
an ordinary means of travel. His
answer is that lie does not think, but
that he knows it will become so. Ten
years ago to attempt to fly from place
to place was considered suicide; five
years ago 1t was an adventure: today
TO many of US it is a very ordinary
affair. A few years more and We shall
laugh to think of the airplanes of
which we are now so proud. We shall
shudder at the risks we ran and we
shall travel with comfort, speed and
safety.

WHAT C*ySEn HER SURPRISE

The waiting room % the Lon% Island

afternoon when four faShionably

large knitting bags. entered from the
train platform. The woman who was
burdcncd with the largest bag Jmmedi
ately led the way toward 4 bench
where an American seaman in the uni
form Of the navy sat reading Il book.
Without warning the women took seats

with questions.

next youngest, ''yOu've be II in the navy

much?"
The man grinned. quite bit" he
answered.
Then followed a voley of questions
that would have bewillered an oracle.
The seaman was asked about the coast
of Africa and the cost of tobacco, the
climate in Brazil and the storms on the
Atlantic.
Finally the owner of the largest and
heaviest knitting bag made herself
heard above the others.
"Ain't you third-class gunner"
she asked.
"Uh-huh," was the answer
"And 60 you tell ne that you've been
in the navy for four years?' was the
next question.
"Uh-huh," said the seaman.

He defended congress and resent

"The delay is due to shameful fail

alacrity, generosity in appropriations
and unanimity of action.

were arranged where people could look

racks were very beautiful. Each one
was made to look like beautiful pea
