------7' 's'---- --------------T- X WILD MAN OF~THE AIV

From Letters of Stuart Walcott, Franco
 American Air Service, Published in the
 National Geographic Magazine
 September l, 1917.-The wild man in the Nieuport was out again this morning giv- ing someone joy ride. There is a long straight stretch of road in front of our piste and he came down that several times, q nasty, puffy wind blowing, which bothered him not at all flying only two or three feet off the ground.
 Tn front of the piste is telephone wire crossing the road. He came along the road 1c0 miles an hour until almost on top of the wire, and jumped up just in time to clear it by a few feet--really beautiful work He gees all over the surrounding country flying low, hopping over trees and houses sometimes turning up sideways to slip between two trees bit too close together to fly through sometimes dragging wing through the space between couple of hangars or doing vertical vrages just in front of them.

Patriotism and

 Alabama, under the state director ship of Crawford Johnson, is well in lire. Highly encouraging reports come from the rural precincts. The people are being impressed with the double purpose of the campaign--that of aiding the government to win the war, and that of developing the spirit of thrift
 < There has been great deal of talk about thrift and many people have learned tho lesson; but millions are learning it now fo- the first time.
 The thrift habit will stand men, women and children in good stead after the war is over, and so heartily is the matter of small savings being approved that it is not too much to expect the thrift practice to become a national characteristic. M

 What stimulates government inter- est in the Bankhead highway at this time is the pressing need of military roads.

 Whoever wants to consider this dis loyal and to call it so, may accept in advance my scorn as a poor creature. whose good opinion, if uttered loud enough, would kill dog. Whoever re- gards it. as the pessimism of an old man has my invitation to try conclu- sions. Marquis of Queensb ury rules, But whoever believes that the stream has passed me by and that I can no longer keep up with tho procession, ought to see me swim!
 One thing is quite certain, and it furnishes d conclusive answer to the plaint that there must be no criticism of the powers that be, and that is that the just scoring the President has re- ceived for his unguarded gaiety with Chamberlain and his too close com munon with himself has brought him out of his scclusion and into the open day, where he may be seen and known of all men, a leader and not a dictator. He may not get and should not get tho new powers he asks. He has power enough. His cue now is to give us re- suits. On these and these alone, his future rating will depend.

Regarding Scarcity
 of Food in the East

TIT HE food conservation campaign 4 which has been in progress for many months past under the direc- tion of Food Administrator Hoover has brought good results. By reason able economy on the part of hotels, restaurants and householders the food supplies are now found equal to this lcountry's needs and the needs of the Iallies, but the east is menaced with la food shortage, all because of the railroad congestion.
 MT. Hoover tells us that "the farms Iare full of foodstuffs," but the trou- ble has been in moving the supplies to the great centers of population.
 The railroad administration protests that it is not fair to put all the blame lon lack of transportation.
 The situation calls for the co-opera-
 tion of farmers, consumers, the rail
 roads and other interests. Mir. Hoover
 says that no effort is being spared to move allied food as fast as it can be accumulated at interior points. Special trains are being arranged for to carry meat and packing house products from Chicago to load wait ling ships. Improved weather condi- tions will help the situation and 1t is believed that within the next few days transportation facilities will be |equal to the demand

Lively Interest In
 Bankhead Highway

TEXAS and Oklahoma are in sharp
 z competition for the routing of the Bankhead National highway and, judging from newspaper accounts, or ganized efforts being made in each state to secure the decision have be- cone as intense as used to be the case when great trunk railroad was to be located.
 Dallas is working hard to have the highway routed through that city, and Snithvil,e and other Oklahoma towns are striving with all their might for the prize. Still another route, which would take the highway through Me Alester and Oklahoma City, has en- thusiastic support.
 The Bankhead Highway has already been located from Washington, D. C., via Atlanta, Birmingham and Memphis on to Little Rock. The ob- jective point is Los Angeles, via Fl Paso, and the question of route from Little Rock westward is to be con- sidered by government engineers and the board of directors of the Bank head Highway association at a joint conference to be held at Little Rock in April. The claims of the contest ing interests will be heard and care fully weighed and the decision will be awaited with eagerness in the sec tions affected.
 As Secretary J. A. Rountree re- marked to representative of the Dal- lbs News a few days ago, "it goes without saying that this is the most important highway project which has eSer come before the people of the United States, for it is the first des- ignated road to be taken up as gov ernment proposition" What the cost q the highway will be has not been dated, but whatever it may be, there E promise of the government sup- Ewing one-half of the money.
