The tentative organization of the
aero squadron is not exactly as it will
be on the fighting line;
The Aero but it is close enough to
it to be of interest to
0quaoIon. prospective airmen.
It's officers are major, captain and
fourteen lieutenants. The enlisted
force of the headquarters section
should consist of sergeant major and
a first sergeant assistant to the ma
jor). a photographer, chauffeur and
three corpora1s, besides dispatch car
riers, motor truck driver and two pri-
Yates.
The enlisted men of the supply sec
ton are two clerks. a truckmaster, his
assistants, mess sergeant, supply ser
geant, mechanic, corporal. cooks. ten
privates (first class) and private for
general work.
In the engineering section Of the
tricians, four mechanicians (sergeants,
first class) and five (second class),
three corporals and three privates (f1rst
class).
are one mechanician (sergeant, first
CLASSY. one mechanician (sergeant sec
ond class) for each two planes, six cor
porals Gone for each two planes).
twelve corporals (driyers Of motor
trucks). twenty-four prives (first class)
and twenty-four privates (second
class).
The major, who flies but seldom,
should be a forcible organizer. capable
of getting implicit obedience to his or
ders from the fliers as well as others of
the command. and it is impressed upon
him that he is always to advance the
best men, without regard to seniority.
The captain of the squadron should be
a 40 m hA nj oh
demand from each of the eleven lieu
tenants under him written reports Of
all they do and he should return them
to the major with criticisms on the
knowledge of motors, planes and air
currents; should designate f1iers for
particular flights and be held respon-
sible to the major for the maintenance
of the planes.
The duties Of the eleven lieutenants
under him are not published. but it is a
fair inference that they. with him, con-
stitute the twelve fiiers of the aero
squadron.
The lieutenant of the supply division
has charge of the paper work of the
squadron. He procures all the supplies
and issues them to the several depart
ments- He must be driving business
man. expert accountant and engineer,
all in one, to fill his position. The
mess officer has the working of the or
ganization He is cook. buyer and pro-
curer or WhaC ne cannot buy. He is
responsible for feeding the fliers. keep
ing the camp sanitary and maintaining
the men in good condition physically.
The engineer officers have care of the
planes; they must be practical men,
not afraid Of engine grease.
The non-commissioned officers and
enlisted men are all subordinated to
these officers in the one great purpose
OF maintaining the aero squadron ION
edge" for the work of the aviators,
whether as observers. fighting men,
photographers. scouts. directors Of ar
tillery fire. bomb droppers or in some
one OF the other hazardous duties of

a life unclouded by trial, sorrow, or suffering but home filled with love and peace, a rest and a refuge where no real discord can long throw dark ening shadows.
 Comradeshlp Is one of the strongest ties of married life. Comradeship Is friendship In a negligee suit; 1t Is free, near, truStful, comfortable, familiar and intimate. It has basic respect that makes fOrmallty out of place, and pretense and pose seem treason; the two are their natural selves, spOnta- neOus and unrestraIned except by that respect for each others individuality that makes each careful not to wound or offend the other.
 COmradeshlp between husband and wife Is the finest type of friendship, for pulsing through It is the constant current of love, tenderness, sympathy, nearness, dearness and closer com muniOn of interests. that ever vitalizes, lntensifles and freShcns. COmrade- ship gives to each a finer, truer under standing of the other that comes, not from the mere observation of acts and of moods, but from glimpSeS into the depths of each others thought, the revealingS of standards and ideals, the unconscious confession of hopes, fears and lOngingS and restless ambitions that are hiddC& forces struggling to- wards expression like the root of q plant seeking to penetrate the soil md reach the light. These come only in easy conversation where there Is no thought of talking for effect, no sense of being on dress parade.
 When the two are real comrades the wife is interested in the hobbies, games. business. friends and politics of the husband. She may not see what fun he can have knocking a little ball over the landscape and then poking round a big field to find 1t, but If golf gives him any real pleasure she Is glad, and is interested, and wants to understand. Politics may seem to her just something we pay ofticeholders to manage, but if he sees anything In it she Is pleased to give him a chance to lot hAr In on the puzzle.
