BOMBING PLANES.

There were no aerial bombing org
anizations in the allied flying corps
during the first year of the war Prac-
tically all the work in the air was in
the nature OF observation. No pilots
could be spared for anything else.
Today probably % per cent of the
aerial arms are bombing squadrons OF
II machines per squadron.
The first bombing was done by yolun
teer pilots who flew over the German
lines and dropped three or four bombs,
made from artillery shells, on con
cent? on camps, and cantonments.
- sen small steel arrows room
trains, and bodies Of massed men.
The Germans began day bombing of
cities III 1915, and the allies BON.
baraed Karlsruhe in reprsal later in
the same year. Since then evolution in
Organized bombing developed rapidly
and the French began night bombing,
but this was not undertaken by the
Germans until August, 1916.
At the presnt time large groups, in
Guiding several squadrons of bombing
machines go over the lines from time
to time and completely destroy their
objective, be it a city or a camp, a
column of troops, or trench system.
Unfortunately the allies air forces
bou m for D,j1Qc
hostile territory defended by anti
aircraft guns to attack German cities,
while the enemy can attack French
cities by flying only short distance
beyond the allied lines.
The allies are developing large bomb
ing planes which will carry sufficient
fuel for long excursions and armament
to protect them when they are attack
ed by fighting airplanes Bombing
squadrons are escorted usually over
the lines by fast fighting squadrons of
IS planes to squadron, and then left
to their own devices for the fighters
seldom carry sufficient fuel to permit
them to accompany the bombers on
the round trip.
The dropping of the bomb is similar
to shooting a rife. First, you set your
sights and wind gauge. you hold the
rifle properly, and finally you pull the
trigger at the proper moment If your
ammunition is standard, your sights
correct, you hit the target So with
bombing. If you set your sights cor
rectly, fly your plane correctly over
the objective and drop the bomb at
the proper time you will hit the target.
If the ammunition manufacturers gave
you good bombs the objective will be
destroyed.

CITY BEAUTIFUL.
BY MARTIN TURNBULL.


There are over one thousand spe-
cies of the palm tree that thrlves In
tropical and semi-tropical countries.
Among the best specimens are the
palmetto and the date. Can any one
visiting the port of Pascagoula look
around and see groups OF palms orna'
menting the public parks and through
fares? The answer to this question is
simple enough. 1t 10 never too late
to do good and derive some benefit
from q suggestion. Lovers of the
beautiful should launch movement
to plant one hundred date trees here
and there in suitable spots and set an
example that may invite many public
spirited citizens start a new industry
for greater Pascagoula. The great
height attained by the Palmyra palm
in short period should be an incen-
tive to some local philanthropist to
plant a group in the central park.
These trees would serve as silent
sentinels and companions for persons
afflicted with poetic emotions.
A worthy American citizen is one
who favors good government and sets
moral example.
A labor of love--the task of house
cleaning.
Splendid progress is being made by
our citizens to comply with the SAM
tation work by carrying out the regu-
lations. Already the city has neat
err appearance.
Do without Injuries in order to win
the war A bit of self-sacrifice goes
long way.
Bear in mind that sometimes pen
ny saved is a penny made. Be care
full not to waste sugar.
Good roads are a comfort and con-
yenience. 1t is high time that the
highway between Randall Ferry and
the Pascagoula railway station should
receive Necessary attention.
Luck may be called the reward OF
natural conditions. Between our
selves, Pascagoulas industrial for
tune has always existed.
The Pascagoua Street Railway &
Power Companys car, light and water
works systems were originally built
on future developments Present
conditions are enormously bright.
Fifteen thousand progressive citizens
in region teeming with shipbuilding
and various industries, fed by rich
garden lands, require quicker and
cheaper means of intercommunication
That's all now.
Trees, flowers and vines smile as
their sweet perfume floats over field
and fireside--far and near-right here.
The Pascagoula chronicle., 1918-08-03
INVEST SURPLUS WEALTH.

To encourage the movement started
in the industrial cities of the country
to own a home" it is suggested by
the Chronicle that lots 40 feet wide by
100 feet deep be placed on the market
here. Market street from the bay to
the l.. G. n. r. r, track offers an ideal
location for up-to-date cottages. An
industrial city should provide comfort
able and sanitary houses for its pop
ulation. The working man is entitled
to home comforts; the working man
is entitled to the full enjoyment of his
rest after toll; the working man should
be aided by capital. The aim of gov
eminent is the greatest good for the
happiness of the people. Loosen the
purse strings of the super rich by as
sessment and watch the results for
the benefit of the public. Profits from
business unused should be taxed.
That is the system prevailing in the
state of Pennsylvania. What is the
ence-improvements and the
modern appearance of every railway
station and business house in the
Quaker state. Improvements are not
included in surplus assessment. Keep
capital employed and encourage enter
prise.
