FLYING SOON WILL
 BE COMMONPLACE
(Scfibner's MagazineA

There has grown up since August, 1914. an increase so extended in our knowledge of the science of flight. the building of machines and en- zines, as would make flying a com monplace if peace were declared to- morrow.
 In other words, the peace time pilot would be provided with a sound and stable machine which would be equal to varying conditions of wind force, while so many things have been at tempted in the air with success, from military necessity. that there is now absolutely nothing that could happen. from the flying point of view itself. that is not thoroughly understood and capable of being overcome.
 If we eliminate the gun fire from below, the need for aerial combats, the use of machines so light that they could be broken in mid-air by unskillful handling. and the taking of the maximum risks as regards foggy weather. there is nothing to prevent the pilot from using the air itself as freely as he would the land and even more freely than the sea.

CONGRESS WILL WORK
 ON WAR LEGISLATION DURING COMING WEEK
Republican A. P. Leased WireI

WASHINGTON. April With the nation entering the second year of war, congress works this week on important legislation designed to make its powers more effective at the battle front and at home.
 While the house gives the right of way to bills extending the draft law and other army legislation. the senate's schedule includes final disposition of several bills aimed at German spies and agents, to curb mob law against disloyalists and to stamp out propa- ganda. Further consideration also will be given the Overman bill. increasing President Wilson's authority to reor- ganize government departments and make them more effective in prosecut- ing the war.
 The sedition bill penalzing pro- German utterances and attempts to ob- struct the army draft and Liberty bond sales temporarily has right of way in | the senate, which will resume debate tomorrow. Its passage. probably with some modifying amendments is expect ed within a few days
 Other bills, which probably will go to the president early this week, are the measures extending espionage laws to enemy alien women, and providing S10, 0V0 fine and thirty years Imprisonment for destruction of war materials or acts or propaganda curtailing it's pro- duction. Conference reports on both bills were approved yesterday by the house and now await action in the senate.
 Renewal of senate debate on the OVerman bill is promised tomorrow. | The discussion is expected to continue lntermittently throughout the week.
 Beginning tomorrow, military bills will have the right of way in the house. It was unanimously agreed yesterday that other legislation would be tenn porarily laid aside until several bills which have been completed by the mili tary committee are offered for pas sage.
 The principal fight is scheduled for Thursday over the bill changing the draft quota from state populations to the number of men in class one. An other substitute to follow, to which there IS less opposition is that requir- Ing registration of youths reaching 21 years of age since June ,, 1917.
 A vote by the house on the senate amendment to the agriculture appro- priauon bill increasing to s2.50 ner oushel the government minimum suar- antee for wheat also is expected during
 'ne week. A close vote is predicted

Tonight Oatman is s25,0oo beyond her quota.
 The allotment for Oatman as fixed by the national committee is ;35,00O. At the close of the second day of the drive. the round sum of $60,000 had been subscribed. And the Oatman Lib- erty bond committee tonight declared that the total subscription will exceed $150,000 before the committee will be satisfied with the drive. J. A.
